I am dying to see them especially the eldest. That's your namesake, isn't it?" "Yes, that's Lucy. She's six years old now, and as good as an angel, but she hasn't fulfilled her promise of beauty. Virginia says she was the prettiest baby she ever saw." "Everybody says that Jenny, the youngest, is a perfect beauty." "That's why her father makes so much of her, I reckon.
It was Starr, standing just above him, and her eyes were shining like her namesake the evening star. "You were going without good-bye," she reproved, and her cheeks were rosy red, but she stood her ground courageously.
Of all this Billy wrote to William at occasional intervals but she did not come home. Even when the next autumn came, there was still Paris to detain her for another long winter of study. In the Henshaw house on Beacon Street, William mourned not a little as each recurring season brought no Billy. "The idea! It's just as if one didn't have a namesake!" he fumed. "Well, did you have one?"
Jim took a seat, and he had just time to notice that his namesake, Mr Thompson, was also present, and that, in spite of the fact that his tie had crept up to the top of his collar, he was looking quite unnecessarily satisfied with himself, when he became aware that the Head was speaking to him. 'I hope you are not feeling any bad effects from your race, Thomson?

Nobody, at least in England, fights with swords now.
Horace and I shall come, you may be sure, provided he has not too many engagements; and then," her words became more emphatic and distinct, "we shall have more opportunity to discuss what is to be done with little Elizabeth." She turned to where her namesake was standing, her kindly smile illuminating her face. "What do you want most in the world, little Elizabeth?" she asked alluringly.
So the wicked old namesake with the Hoofs and Horns laid a trap for little Satan, and, as he is apt to do, he began laying it early long, indeed, before Christmas. When Dinnie started to kindergarten that autumn, Satan found that there was one place where he could never go. Like the lamb, he could not go to school; so while Dinnie was away, Satan began to make friends.
Rook was naturally reminded of the murder, when she heard that my name was Brown; and she must certainly have been struck as I was by the coincidence of my father's death taking place at the same time when his unfortunate namesake was killed. Doesn't this sufficiently account for her agitation when she looked at the locket?

You trouble about your dress when you should have been thinking of the man who loves you." "Does Cuthbert love me?" asked Juliet, flushing. "As Romeo loved your namesake, sweetest child. And a very good match it is too," added Mrs.
He is the very most charming of walking gentlemen, and when stung by conscience he goes off to Ireland, disguised in a big cloak, to visit his father's tenantry and to judge for himself of the state of affairs, all our sympathies go with him.
