He has gone into it with all his usual earnestness and ability. This is not a matter of politics with him, but of patriotism and of business.

He was an occasional speaker, too, in those years, at meetings of Federalists, where his power as an orator was sometimes exerted most effectively. No speaker could be better adapted to a New England audience, accustomed from of old to weighty, argumentative sermons, delivered with deliberate, unimpassioned earnestness.
While Singleton was examining the red snow, and vainly endeavouring to ascertain the nature of the minute specks of matter, by which it was coloured, Fred continued to gaze with a look of increasing earnestness towards the tall column, around which a bank of fog was spreading, and partially concealing it from view. At length he attracted the attention of his companion towards it.
Kate gave one or two gasps, and then spoke with impassioned earnestness. "O father, I could not help it! I strove against it as long as I might. I feared it was a thing that must not be.

I exclaimed, with such earnestness that we both laughed. And at this moment Mr. Bellingham entered the room carrying several large and evidently brand-new books in a strap.
