So I hold my peace and we come to her gate, and the recklessness that has brought him thus far abandons him on the instant and he falls back and lets me go in several steps before him, so that I seem to be alone when I enter the house, and Juliet, who is standing in the parlor between the Colonel and her father, starts when she sees me, and breaking into sobs, cries: "Oh, Philo, Philo, tell my father there is nothing between us but what is friendly and honorable; that I I "
Bertram's voice sounded almost as if he were repeating the marriage service. "And we'll come straight home afterwards as fast as John and Peggy can bring us?" "Certainly." "Then I think I'll go," breathed Billy, tremulously, plainly showing what a momentous concession she thought she was making. "I do love 'Romeo and Juliet, and I haven't seen it for ages!" "Good!
Each in the other, Dorothy and she recognized suffering, and in a very few moments every thing was arranged between them. Juliet was charmed with the simplicity and intentness of Dorothy; in Juliet's manner and carriage, Dorothy at once recognized a breeding superior to her own, and at once laid hold of the excellence by acknowledging it.
"I know it's used of secrets as well as sanctuaries," said Priscilla, "because Aunt Juliet used to say it about the Confessional when she was thinking of being a Roman Catholic. I told you about that, didn't I?" "No," said Frank. "But will they be able to stop him landing, really?" "Of course they will. That was one of the worst times we ever had with Aunt Juliet.
I really can't think what I've done to deserve such a reputation. I was put through a pretty stiff cross-examination, I can tell you." "I have no doubt you were more than equal to it," said Juliet.

No; her vanity was yet stronger than her grief, and she would not be seen by Dr. Browne.
But other matters had transpired in the course of our drive than those that loomed so large to me in the egotism of my love. We had spoken of Mr. Hornby and his affairs, and from our talk there had emerged certain facts of no little moment to the inquiry on which I was engaged. "Misfortunes are proverbially sociable," Juliet had remarked, in reference to her adopted uncle.
The life of the Crosbys had been bare of luxuries and sometimes even of comforts, until the considerate uncle died and left his money to the twins. As fortunes go, it was not much, but it seemed inexhaustible to them because they did not know how to spend it. "I'll go this very day," thought Juliet, "and see Aunt Francesca. I'll ask her.
Mercutio was almost as bad. He was played by the low-comedian, who had introduced gags of his own and was on most friendly terms with the pit. They were both as grotesque as the scenery, and that looked as if it had come out of a country-booth. But Juliet!
Now, to give the big bell in marriage to Quasimodo was to give Juliet to Romeo. Hence Quasimodo's gratitude was profound, passionate, boundless; and although the visage of his adopted father was often clouded or severe, although his speech was habitually curt, harsh, imperious, that gratitude never wavered for a single moment.
