This was the Children's Holy League, erewhile referred to; and one knows that on such a Union the Divine Master smiles well pleased. The Lord also crowned this tour with another precious fruit of blessing, though not all by any means due to my influence. Four new Missionaries volunteered from Scotland, and three from Nova Scotia.
For no less are they perplexed, confounding together these terms, NOT YET and ALREADY and NO LONGER and NOW and NOT NOW. But all other men suppose, esteem, and think EREWHILE and AWHILE HENCE to be different parts of time from NOW, which is followed by the one and preceded by the other.

Subsequently, her remains were reinterred in the chapter-house, with a Latin inscription, which is thus translated: "This tomb doth here enclose the world's most beauteous rose Rose passing sweet erewhile, now naught but odor vile."
Erewhile fared I to Phrygia, the land of vines, and there saw I that the men of Phrygia, they of the nimble steeds, were very many, even the hosts of Otreus and godlike Mygdon, that were then encamped along the banks of Sangarios.
