"So you saw my father embrace me that day!"
At present nothing can be said as to the time when the operations are likely to commence; nor whether the Institution will embrace children of both sexes, or be restricted either to boys or girls exclusively; nor of what age they will be received, and how long they may continue in it; for though we have thought about these things, yet we would rather be guided in these particulars by the amount of the means which the Lord may put into our hands, and by the number of the individuals whom he may provide for conducting the Institution.
Swiftly she compared the two that loved her, and shivered as if she had been tossed to the embrace of a block of ice. 'You are cold, Rose, said Laxley, bending to lay his hand on her shoulder.
