Pleasant things, that come to us too late for our savour of the sweetness in them, toll ominously of life on the last walk to its end.
The greatness of his enterprise laid such hold of him that the smallest of obstacles had a villanous aspect; and when, as anticipated, Colney and Fenellan were sultry flies for whomsoever they could fret, he was blind to the reading of absurdities which caused Fredi's eyes to stream and Lady Grace beside him to stand awhile and laugh out her fit.

'I played the man of pomp with Marsett good heavy kind of creature: attached to the woman. She's the better horse, as far as brains go. Good enough Lady Marsett.
