"I wonder," said Miss Handyside, becoming extremely grave, "I wonder whether we ought to marry, after all." "What?" "We're both of us far, far too rich. You know I have always despised very rich people." "I'm sure I'll lose my bit in no time," said Alan, hopefully. "On the other hand, I have never admired foolish people." "I never said you were conceited, did I?" he retorted.
That which outwardly characterised the time to Graeme, that to which she could not have looked forward hopefully or patiently, but upon which she could look back without regret, was her separation from her sister. At first all things had happened as had been planned. They made their preparations for their long talked of visit to Merleville; they enjoyed the journey, the welcome, the wedding.
Plato seemed, indeed, to realize the value of scientific investigation; he referred to the astronomical studies of the Egyptians and Chaldeans, and spoke hopefully of the results that might accrue were such studies to be taken up by that Greek mind which, as he justly conceived, had the power to vitalize and enrich all that it touched.
'That through these intervening years, however happy she might be, she would look forward to the time when you would meet again, and all would be made clear; and that she prayed you, trustfully and hopefully to do the same.

Mallard was absent to-day, held by business in London.
It may be a time of distress for the impenitent but for believers it will be a time of hope and expectation. When the signs of which Jesus spoke “begin to come to pass,” then, according to the words of Jesus, his followers may hopefully lift up their heads to greet their Deliverer, for their redemption will be at hand.
He admitted that it was a specious invention in time of peace, but looked hopefully for the day when sails should come back again on ten-thousand-ton frigates with hundred-and-ninety-foot booms.
A man who had led a very wicked life, was converted and hopefully saved. Previous to this time, a debt of $18.75 had not given him the slightest thought.
But David Lester was lost and vague, his food almost untouched. "I I don't know!" he stammered. Scared and embittered further by this bad sign, Frank turned to Helen.
