"She superintended with extraordinary wisdom," says the old chronicler Sozemon, "the transactions of the Roman government," and "afforded the spectacle," says Ozanam, a later historian, "of a girlish princess of sixteen, granddaughter and sole inheritor of the genius and courage of Theodosius the Great, governing the empires of the east and west, and being proclaimed on the death of her brother, Augusta, Imperatrix, and mistress of the world!"
In her meagre thwarted forms application could freely be made of the supple incisive drawing which bends to and flows with the character that drawing of which Ingres was the supreme patron, and of which Degas is the sole inheritor. Until a few years ago Chavannes never sold a picture.
Under the existing law of the States those days may not be expected ever to return; and such places as are here alluded to cannot be kept up in families whose possessions, however ample originally, must be parcelled out at the demise of each inheritor, until, like poor Sir Lucius, the "mansion-house and the dirty acres" having slipped through the not over-tenacious fingers of the Virginian proprietor, the family honour and the family pictures will alone be left.
Then was the man convinced that he had found the inheritor of the spiritual secrets, and he told him the whole story and offered all the manuscripts on condition Israel should become his teacher. Israel assented, on condition that he should outwardly remain his attendant as before, and that his celestial knowledge should not be bruited abroad.
We wish we could have welcomed to us this day the inheritor of Revolutionary blood, and the just and worthy representative of high Revolutionary names, merit, and services.

Mr. Maryon was comparatively rich, and the Ringwoods poor, consequently they were advised not to enter upon a costly lawsuit. My aunt Aldina maintained to the last that Sir Henry had made a will, and that Mr. Maryon knew it, but had destroyed or suppressed the document.
Now he had come back to silently refute his own statement, and to declare the truth which would stir up anger and give him an inheritor of his revenge. Here, then, was a new reason why he should become ardent in the pursuit and effect the capture of Spurling, that by so doing he would be behaving honourably by a man who was dead.
It is a good gift blessing both the inheritor and his companions. Neither men nor women are long gloomy in my presence." "I have often noticed your smiling face and pleasant words," said Jessie, "and wondered if you moved always in a sunny atmosphere." "You are answered now," he replied. A little while there was silence.
The very conveyances of his lands will hardly lie in this box; and must the inheritor himself have no more? ha?" Act v. Sc. 1. "Mine Eye and Heart are at a mortal war How to divide the conquest of thy sight; Mine Eye my Heart thy picture's sight would bar, My Heart mine Eye the freedom of that right.
