Evidently, Professor Cardington, his neighbour across the hall, had felt it and succumbed; else how could a man of his extraordinary talent have remained so long buried, as it were, from the world? Revolving this mystery in his mind, he passed into his sitting-room on the eastern side of the building.
We mean ye nae harm; but, as ye are in arms for King James, as ye ca' him, and the prelates, we thought it right to keep up the auld neighbour war, and stand up for the t'other ane and the Kirk; but we'll no hurt a hair o' your heads, if ye like to gang hame quietly.
From the clearness and rapidity of the stream, its appearance was far superior to that of its neighbour the Parana. On the opposite coast, several branches from the latter river entered the Uruguay. As the sun was shining, the two colours of the waters could be seen quite distinct. In the evening we proceeded on our road towards Mercedes on the Rio Negro.
But Halil compelled him to sit down beside them, and after kissing Gül-Bejáze again apparently he could not kiss the girl enough he cried: "Look! my dear neighbour! she is now my wife, and henceforth she will love me as her husband, and I shall no longer be the slave of my slave. And this worthy man here is my wife's father. Greet them, therefore, and then be content to eat and drink with us!"
How beautifully does the following observation made by Solomon contrast with the contempt expressed by Horace for the great body of his countrymen: "He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth; but he that bath mercy on the poor happy is he.

"Alas," cried Scapegrace, "for now I am utterly undone! I have not a crown in the world, and how can I pay the deposit?" "Nay, neighbour, have a good heart," cried Stagman, drawing him into a corner; "long before the fortnight comes, we shall have sold these papers to some other man, who will pay the twenty crowns for thee, and give thee a hundred beside for thy pains.
'Bias hurried to the window, but the young farmer had already passed out of sight. "Look here," suggested Cai, "it's just an well we turned up, one or both. That man's a perfect bully, so she tells me." "She've told me the same, more than once." "Always pickin' some excuse for a quarrel. It ain't right for a woman to live alongside such a neighbour unprotected." "So I've told her."
Dr Levitt had walked his horse beside her in the lane which formed the limit of the longer of his two common rides; and many a neighbour or patient of Mr Hope's had been surprised at her declining a cast in a taxed-cart or gig, when there was only a long stretch of plain road before her, and the lanes and fields were too miry to enable her to seek any variety in them, in her way home.
