Apropos, Kingsley, who is that mysterious woman, La Masque?" "Her sister! And have you discovered Leoline's history?" "I have." "And her name!" "And her name. She is Leoline De Montmorenci!
There is nothing in the least like it in ancient literature; and to get a single writer who would do it justice in modern times we should have to take the best notes of Charles Kingsley, and Mr. Blackmore, and Mr. Meredith, leaving out all their faults, and combine.
Kingsley to the Unitarians of New England, of whom he spoke very kindly, adding, in effect, that their error was but a natural rebound from Calvinism, that dreary perversion of God's boundless love.
So I watched that pint an' killed 'em all long towards the first quarter with quicksilver an' the white of an egg. Wal, Bud never sed a word all that month. "What you reckin' Bud done, Mister Kingsley? Bud Billins thar, what did he do? Got mad about his biscuits it's the funny way the fool spell allers hits him, he never gits mad about anything but his biscuits.
Some one had informed her, I have no doubt it was Miss Kingsley, that he was much in my society, and that we behaved like lovers.

One word of explanation to prevent mistake. I am not myself, like Kingsley or Wallace, an enthusiastic tropicist.
The amount was large, but the features of Kingsley remained unaltered, while his laugh was renewed as heartily as if he really found pleasure in the loss. "Ha! ha! ha! that is encouraging; but the end is not yet. The tug is yet to come!" I now perceived that Kingsley took up his wallet with one hand while he spread his handkerchief on his lap with the other.
Charlotte Brontë might possibly have found no other topic had she disdained the plain little woman with a shrewish tongue; and where had Charles Kingsley been if the vision of a curate rampant had not rejoiced his heart? Still, I am not sorry that this novel is burned.
