Besides which, I bade thee never believe a word past belief, and behold thou hast believed that I had inside me a pearl exceeding the measure of my size, and hadst not the sense to see that my whole body doth not attain to the bulk of ostrich eggs. How then could I contain such a pearl?"
The beautiful lady herself remarked it, and thought how unlike it was to the ordinary boy-voice. "I have a latch-key," she said, when they stood on the low step. She found the latch-key in her purse and opened the door. Marco helped her into the entrance-hall. She sat down at once in a chair near the hat-stand. The place was quite plain and old-fashioned inside.
With that he went out, and Sheila, with a wild commotion at her heart, saw him walk away through the square. She was afraid Mairi might have arrived before he left. And, indeed, he had not gone above a few minutes when a four-wheeler drove up, and an elderly man got out and waited for the timid-faced girl inside to alight.
Brown that Mr. Green has sent Mr. Smith to call. The Mr. Green is entirely fictitious, but since Mr. Brown has several business acquaintances of that name, he interrupts his work and comes out to see Mr. Smith and discovers that he is a life insurance agent who thinks that if he can once get inside he can "put it across."
He always favoured her because she was so pretty, and she can come closer to wheedling him than any of the rest of us excepting you, Agatha." "It is an innovation, surely!" "Mother is nearly as bad.

While he stood brooding over the corpse a sound reached him from, behind. Turning he saw that he had left the door open, and in the opening he beheld the crowding forms of his dogs.
Perhaps she had not the power of evoking sympathy, that personal gift of direct appeal to the feelings. I said to Fyne, mistrusting the supine attitude of the dog: "Why don't you let him come inside?" Oh dear no! He couldn't think of it!
The thing's finished. That beginning near Ripon was like opening a door into another country, and I've been walking ever since and seeing new things. All sorts of things that I had believed as a Catholic things, I mean, which I assented to simply because the Church said so, have, so to speak, come up and turned themselves inside out.
That girl with a peasant-nun’s face had never seen the inside of a house other than some half-ruined caserio in her native hills.
