I came across his track once or twice in the East. Travellers are always apt to be jealous of each other." "You are a strange compound of cynicism and credulity; but I should have fancied that you and Sir Philip would have been congenial spirits, when I found, among his favourite books, Van Helmont and Paracelsus. Perhaps you, too, study Swedenborg, or, worse still, Ptolemy and Lilly?"
He hated them both far too much. For some minutes there was dead silence, whilst Lilly silently and viciously fought for his breath.

He was at length placed on a recruiting station, and in a short period he enlisted a great number of men. Among his recruits was Frank Lilly, a boy about sixteen years old, who was so weak and small that he would not have passed muster if the array had not been greatly in want of men. The soldiers made this boy the butt of their ridicule, and many a joke was perpetrated at his expense.
"Oh, I don't know, there there's something sort of onward about it." "Exactly! Onward! Forward! March!" With a precocity that never ceased to amuse and delight Lilly, Zoe, while only half understanding the content of an occasion, could somehow imbibe its essence.
"May I come with you and Lilly?" entreated little Claudia, running down the walk at full speed, and putting her curly head through the palings to make the request. "Yes, come on.

Lilly Lalee was on the top of the sea-kit; Snowball and Ben Brace were flanking it, one at each end. The chest was supporting all three. Hurrah! they were saved! Little William, at that moment, felt certain they would be saved; though that joyful certainty had not yet been communicated to them.
But really and truly, Lilly, wouldn't your mother, and all the girls' mothers, be shocked if they knew about these performances here?" "Gracious! I should think so; ma would kill me. I wouldn't have her know of my goings on for all the world." Just then Rose pulled out a drawer, and called through to ask if Clover would please come in and help her a minute.

"Oh no, Snow, call her " "I think Gladys is just a beautiful name for a girl," ventured Flora Kemble on this occasion. "I like Elsie, too. I think Elsie Dinsmore is my favorite name."
