Imagine that the marble statue is the body of a man, a piece of statuary in which we see the emotion, sentiment, passion, vice or crime, virtue or repentance which the creating hand has put into it, and you will then comprehend how it is that I read the soul of this foreigner though what I have said does not explain the gift of Specialism; for to conceive the nature of that gift we must possess it."
"I think you should have this Frenchman arrested for inquiry: I do not like the look of him." Argyll laughed. "Heavens!" he cried, "is the man gane wud? Have you any charge against this unfortunate foreigner who has dared to shelter himself in my woods?
"Rain or shine," said Count Victor, delighting in such whole-souled rapture, delighting in that bright, unwearied eye, that curious turn of phrase that made her in English half a foreigner like himself "Rain or shine, it is a country of many charms." "But now you are too large in your praise," she said, not quite so warmly.
Not more than ten minutes previous to Mr. Godfrey's visit, the third foreigner had arrived.

The nurse states that he was undoubtedly a foreigner a dark-skinned Asiatic and her description of him tallies with that his little lordship gave of the man who attempted to kill him that day in the Park. There, Mr. Cleek," she concluded, "that's the whole story.
He, however, seriously observed of the last stanza repeated by him, that it nearly comprized all the advantages that wealth can give. 'An eminent foreigner, when he was shewn the British Museum, was very troublesome with many absurd inquiries. A Frenchman must be always talking, whether he knows any thing of the matter or not; an Englishman is content to say nothing, when he has nothing to say."
As it is physically impossible that a detachment commanded by a foreigner should amalgamate together well, I believe it would be necessary to increase it by a battalion, which would raise the number to about three thousand six hundred, and the grenadiers would remain more particularly attached to me during the campaign.
Rawlins, who had gone some distance from the house, straightened with a satisfied exclamation. The others joined him. "Here's where he left the path right enough," he said. "And our foreigner wasn't making any more noise than he had to." He flashed his lamp on a fresh footprint in the soft soil at the side of the path. The mark of the toe was deep and firm.
