Then comes the sealing, then comes the earnest, then comes the growing redemption, and in due time shall come the fulness of the possession. 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ' if thou wouldst have the earnest, whilst thou dost tabernacle in tents in the wilderness of Time, and if thou wouldst have the inheritance when thou crossest the flood into the goodly land.
Greatly alarmed, Dorothy opened her eyes. They were in a huge stone hall hung all over with rusty armor, and seated on a great stone chair, snoring so loudly that all the steel helmets rattled, was a Knight. The tallest and crossest of the Pokes rushed at him with a long poker, giving him such a shove that he sprawled to the floor.
The face in the glass said the very same words with its lips, though it made no sound. Then Juliet stood still and talked with herself. "You are the ugliest, the crossest, most stupid, awkward creature I ever did come near; and so I tell you plainly, Juliet Mitchell. Since you came into this house not a thing but what is tiresome have you done.
When Thou crossest this threshold, may divine peace dwell in thy soul, and may that be accomplished for which Thou implorest humbly." When the penitent had fallen at his feet, the priest, making some signs above his head, whispered, "In the name of Him who is, who has been, and who will be, who created everything, whose breath fills the visible and the invisible world, and who is life eternal."
"Well, you can call it what you like; but by any other name it will irritate you just as much, because you have such a horrid temper.

It's just as if it were a task he was compelled to perform this interview for fear his father should scold him. But I'm hardly going to come to give Mr. Heathcliff pleasure; whatever reason he may have for ordering Linton to undergo this penance.
"You need not be afraid, Thomas. I won't let him hurt you." "I won't risk him. He's the crossest brute in Cavendish." "Why, Tiger, what a character to get!" To my surprise the dog looked up at Thomas, and uttered an angry growl. "See, now; I believe the brute understands what I say." "Come with me, Tiger." I started for the house. Tiger stood a moment uncertainly, and then trotted after me. Mrs.
She did as he desired, still crooning to herself, not caring for his short, sharp interruptions as she went on; and, indeed, to her old, loving heart, his crossest words fell like pearls and diamonds, for he had been the husband of her youth; and even he, rough and crabbed as he was, was secretly soothed by the sound of her voice, although not for worlds, if he could have helped it, would he have shown any of the love that was hidden beneath his rough outside.
Never was a well-intentioned scribe so berated and ridiculed as I, never a simple news gatherer so discredited. Democratic and Republican newspapers vied with one another which could say crossest things and laugh loudest. One sentence especially caught the newspaper risibilities of the time, and it was many a year before the phrase "between the sherry and the champagne" ceased to pursue me.
