"But I am hungry now," replied Enoch Sharp; "and so is Mrs. Farnham, I dare say!" "No," replied that lady, who prided herself on a delicate appetite, "I never am hungry; dew and flowers, my friends used to say, were intended to support sensitive nerves like mine."
Following the example of the abbots, many of the bishops formerly had deer-parks, and up to 1831 the bishop of Durham, a prince-palatine in his diocese, had a park at his country-seat, still his residence, Bishops-Auckland; but now the only prelate enjoying this distinction is the bishop of Winchester, at Farnham Castle, in Hampshire.
He wore white kid gloves, which he secured from spot or blemish as much as possible by keeping the tips of the fingers pressed against each other.

Joseph and his father looked at each other wistfully; at length the boy stepped forward and turned the latch. Mr. Farnham stood on the threshold.
And now, Watson, not another word of the matter until we have a few solid stepping-stones on which we may hope to get across to our solution." We had ascertained from the lady that she went down upon the Monday by the train which leaves Waterloo at 9:50, so I started early and caught the 9:13.
