"I'll never break fast with ye again never never never! Ye've blighted the greenest memory I ever had!" And with that she was gone, slamming the door after her by way of dramatic emphasis. It was a forlorn and dejected tinker that returned alone to the empty hearthside. The bright cheer of the fire had gone; the room had become a place of shadows and haunting memories.
He was moody broken crushed! "Well!" he exclaimed, as I approached the forlorn couple "you see what I have come to!" I saw the state of the case the cause, and the effect at a glance "THAT WOMAN!" as he had denominated her with such emphasis in the morning. In good sooth, I liked her not.
And in his great love passage in the first Corinthian epistle, he picks out four of these last six, and shows further just what he means by love in its practical working in the life. "Long-suffering" is repeated, and so is "kindness" or "goodness." "Faithfulness" is reproduced in "never faileth." Then "self-control" receives the emphasis of an eight-fold repetition of "nots."
"You have improved so upon the old days," said the archdeacon, speaking of some small matter with reference to the cathedral, "that one hardly knows the old place." "I hope we have not fallen off," said the bishop, with a smile. "We have improved, Dr Grantly," said Mrs Proudie, with great emphasis on her words. "What you say is true. We have improved."
"Speeches, however good, do not appeal to you to-day?" he said. "No, I prefer the mountains." She pointed to the line of peaks that formed a border of darker blue on the horizon.

The Reverend Mother was there; and the nurses kind and efficient women were doing all that could be done. He spoke in a voice that seemed to have no colour or emphasis. One who did not know him might have thought he gave his report entirely without emotion that his sister's coming death did not affect him.
"Eh? say that again," said Lancey, with a perplexed look. "Hoosyoo?" repeated the Moslem, with emphasis. "Hoosyoo," repeated Lancey slowly. Just so. I'm Jacob Lancey, groom in the family of Mrs Jeff Childers, of Fagend, in the county of Devonshire, England." This having been outrageously misunderstood by the Turk, and misinterpreted to the officer, the next question was "Wessyoocumfro?"

But he found no quarter from the vengeful engineer, who now retorted his ironical compliments, with great emphasis, upon this hotbed for the generation of vermin, and advised him to lay the whole process before the Royal Society, which would, doubtless, present him with a medal, and give him a place among their memoirs, as a distinguished promoter of the useful arts.
