Let me tell you, my dear, those acquisitions have given him more pride than reputation. To me he is the most intolerable creature that I ever conversed with. The treatment you blame, he merited from one whom he addressed with the air of a person who presumes that he is about to confer a favour, rather than to receive one.

The spirit of her father seemed to hover about the place, and while the thought that her father's voice would not greet her when she entered the hall, cast a solemn funereal state over her simple return, her heart yet swelled with satisfaction and far derived pride. All this was hers to work her pleasure with, to confer as she pleased!
Of course those who rent a place in preference to purchasing it miss one of the greatest and most useful privileges the country can confer that of following in the footsteps of him who "Strove for sixty widow'd years to help his homelier brother man, Served the poor and built the cottage, rais'd the school and drained the fen."
Captain Jonathan Wellsby was permitted the freedom of the poop by Blackbeard's sailing-master who seemed a sober and competent officer.
