"I was certain all along they were being woven," she returned. "The incident at the time made a great impression on me, and I knew that one day we should come together." It gave him a thrill of joy to learn that he had been occupying her thoughts for years past; that, having once come within her consciousness, he had remained in her vision as a never-fading image.
Barlow, Lovell's mother, presented a charmingly antique appearance antique not in the sense of advanced years, but the young antique the gay, the lively, the never-fading antique. She had even a girlish way of simpering and uttering absurdly rapturous exclamations.
As I have said, she was small and rosy, with that never-fading bloom that sometimes accompanies the rosy-cheeked, curly-headed girl far into her womanhood. Cora would go directly to her, and tell her. She would abide by her judgment. Mrs. Bennet simply said yes, of course. And then she added that Cora might start off without letting the girls know anything about it.
There you will find a striving after all that is good, a never-fading hope in better days to come, even under the worst afflictions; and when death requires the sacrifice of all that is dearest, or swoops down on life itself, a firm assurance of the forgiveness of sins through Christ.
She sighed, and fell into such deep thought that Bobby wondered if she would ever speak to him again. At last he ventured: 'I've got a father coming for me one day. 'Have you really?

In other climes he is only known by his amours, here, more severe recollections encircle his name with never-fading honour; for it is known that he was inspired by his country more than by Laura herself.
When the old Indian knew his loss, he gave a harsh cry and stooped, and, gathering a handful of dust from the ground, sprinkled it on his head. Then with arms outstretched he cursed the thief who had robbed him of what had been to him like a never-fading mirage, an illusion blinding his eyes to the bitter facts of his condition.
But at last the Lord came in upon my soul with that same scripture, by which my soul was visited before; and after that, I have been usually very well and comfortable in the partaking of that blessed ordinance; and have, I trust, therein discerned the Lord's body, as broken for my sins, and that his precious blood hath been shed for my transgressions.
