Knowles's.... She says that her play will be quite opposed, in its execution, to 'Ion, as unlike it 'as a ruined castle overhanging the Rhine, to a Grecian temple. And I do not doubt that it will be full of ability; although my own opinion is that she stands higher as the authoress of 'Our Village' than of 'Rienzi, and writes prose better than poetry, and transcends rather in Dutch minuteness and high finishing, than in Italian ideality and passion.

I had been under the impression that you and Miss Cahoon were strangers here." So had I, but I did not explain that, either. Mrs. Jameson joined us. "She will sleep now, I think," she said. "She is quite quiet and peaceful. A near relative of yours, Mr. Knowles?" "She is Mr. Knowles's niece," explained her husband. "Oh, yes. A sweet girl she seems. And very pretty, isn't she." I did not answer.

Too late, efforts were made to conciliate the Gascons; in 1370 a supreme court was set up at Saintes to save the necessity of appeals to London which had become as onerous as the ancient frequency of resort to the parliament of Paris; and the hearth-tax, the ostensible cause of the rising, was formally renounced. Sir Robert Knowles's expedition of 1370 was as futile as that of Lancaster.

If our salaries are half what they are now we need not starve; and, as long as God keeps us in health of body and mind, nothing need signify, provided we are not obliged to separate and go off to that dreadful America. Thursday, March 1st. ... After dinner I read over again Knowles's play, "The Hunchback," and like it better than ever. What would I not give to have written that play!

She crossed over to the Administration Building, and stopped at the door marked, "Mrs. Knowles." If you had been an employee of the Haynes-Cooper company, and had been asked to define Mrs. Knowles's position the chances are that you would have found yourself floundering, wordless. Haynes-Cooper was reluctant to acknowledge the need of Mrs. Knowles.

They might have worn them to court. But even the pathetic facetiousness of her elder sister did not bring a smile to Hannah Knowles's face, and the next day one was at the loom and the other at the wheel again. The neighbors talked about the curse with horror; in their minds a fabric of sad fate was spun from the bitter words. The Knowles sisters never had worn silk gowns and they never would.

Knowles's hospital, and Uncle Ben is his best friend. Of course that's big luck for Joe." "Not so much luck," Martie said generously, "as that Joe has worked awfully hard, and done well." "Oh, you don't know how hard, Mart! And loving us all as he does, too, and being away from us!" Sally agreed fervently. "But if he really gets that position, with my hundred, we'll be rich!

A plain business document: he took Dr. Knowles's share in the factory; the payments made with short intervals; John Herne was to be his endorser: it needed only the names to make it valid. Plain enough; no hint there of the tacit understanding that the purchase-money was a wedding dowry; even between Herne and himself it never was openly put into words.

T. Longman That I know has long been XIXth Century Knowles's opinion. He says he cares nothing for any copyright, and never asks for it. Like the 'Times, he does not, in fact, need it. His writers are highly paid, and he and they are satisfied. To Mr. T Longman

"Knowles's inclination to that sort of people is easily explained," spitefully lisped the doctor. "Blood, Sir. His mother was a half-breed Creek, with all the propensities of the redskins to fire-water and 'itching palms. Blood will out." "Here he is," maliciously whispered the wool-man.
