"What a precious lot of saints much too good to live, I should fancy." "Don't sneer, you graceless. Yes it's quite true. Do you know, dear, the Early Christian movement is being repeated on the sea." "Umph. Early Christians! The later Christians have made a pretty mess of it. Now, just give me, without any waste words, all you have to say about this hospital business.
She became the light of her father's house, and used even to copy out his briefs, at which task I often found her of an evening. As for Tom, that graceless scamp, I never could stomach him. I wondered then, as I have since, how he was the brother of such a sister. He could scarce bide his time until Mr. Swain should have a coach and a seat in the country with the gentry.

A tuft-hunting county baronet's widow, an inane captain of dragoons, a graceless young baronet, a lady with groundless pretensions to feeble health and poesy, an obsequious nonentity her husband, and a flimsy and artificial young lady, are the personages in whom we are expected to find amusement.

I knew him of old, and I wanted him to let his eldest son come to school. He had told me a year ago to ask again.
"And yet among such blasphemers we find such good men; I will go in at once; Hannah is wetting another handkerchief." "And how unwearied and kind she looks as she does it; still there is something strange, deserted, and graceless in this large bare room. I should not like to live there."
