"I would rather undertake to do something, and perish, than live a thousand years as I am." Doctor Chantry struck the chair arm with his clenched fist. "My lad, so would I so would I! I wish I had been dowered with your spirit! I'm going with you!" As soon as he had made this embarrassing resolution my master blew his nose and set his British jaws firmly together.

But young men in those days were more gallant or less snobbish than in these, and few pretty girls, however slenderly dowered, were forgotten by their waltzing partners. The older men went only to the great houses, and frankly for eggnog. Mrs. Abbott's was famous and so was Mrs. McLane's.
And Nausicaa, dowered with beauty by the gods, stood by the pillar of the well-builded roof, and marvelled at Odysseus, beholding him before her eyes, and she uttered her voice and spake to him winged words: 'Farewell, stranger, and even in thine own country bethink thee of me upon a time, for that to me first thou owest the ransom of life.
The dead years pass again in a great procession, a motley company some like emperors, crowned and richly dowered, with the sound of trumpets and the tramping of many obsequious feet; and others like beggars, despoiled and hungry, trudging along a dusty high road, or like grey pilgrims bound, with bleeding feet, for a far-off shrine."

Professors from Oxford, even bishops, dine there.
This pretty toy, dowered with an immortal soul, stained by an inherited criminal strain, had appealed to the feminine tenderness in Beryl's nature, and she stood a moment, lost in admiration of the rounded curves and dainty coloring. "Poor little blossom. Nobody's baby! A lily bud adrift on a dead sea of sin.
She wrote scholarly articles in the graver reviews articles that he invariably skipped she was always armed with an appreciation and she had the air of thinking the intellectual reputation of London very much her responsibility. Above all she was dowered with an overwhelming power of enthusiasm.

XV. To Sir Walter Scott, Bart. Rodono, St. Mary's Loch: Sept. 5, 1885.
