Declining the high office of provost of Trinity, Ussher was made bishop of Meath and was afterwards promoted to the primatial see. His fine intellect was unfortunately marred by narrow religious views, and in many ways he displayed his animus against those of his countrymen who did not see eye to eye with him in matters of faith and doctrine.
"Of course a girl refuses at first, a girl, I mean, in such circumstances as hers. She can't but feel that more is offered to her than she ought to take, and that she is bound to go through the ceremony of declining. But my anger is not with her, Lady Lufton." "I do not see how it can be." "No; it is not with her. If she becomes his wife I trust that I may never see her." "Oh, Dr Grantly!"
Soft, lovely lights lay across the mountains; higher rocks were still ruddy in the rays of the declining sun. "Do the Boche planes ever come over?" asked McKay. "They did in 1914.

I see him hopping along lengthwise of the limbs, and note the orange tinge of his breast and sides and the white circle around his eye. But the declining sun and the deepening shadows admonish me that this ramble must be brought to a close, even though only the leading characters in this chorus of forty songsters have been described, and only a small portion of the venerable old woods explored.
He could not, however, persuade himself that the King should yield and Granvelle be recalled.

His father, who had recently died, had been addicted to what he styled good-fellowship and grog. Knowing his so-called weakness, Captain Aspel had sent his boy to be brought up in the family of the Reverend James Maylands, but some time before the death of that gentleman he had called him home to help to manage the small farm with which he amused his declining years.
