He was the ruler of Roman Catholic England, and he would rule. The nature of Newman's influence it was impossible for him to understand, but he saw that it existed; for twenty years he had been unable to escape the unwelcome itterations of that singular, that alien, that rival renown; and now it stood in his path, alone and inexplicable, like a defiant ghost.
'Is there nothing I can do? asked Newman. 'Nothing, thank you, rejoined Miss Nickleby. 'Perhaps, my dear, Mr Noggs would like to drink our healths, said Mrs Nickleby, fumbling in her reticule for some small coin. 'I think, mama, said Kate hesitating, and remarking Newman's averted face, 'you would hurt his feelings if you offered it.
I left her sitting on the porch in the sun. She can walk only a few steps, you see, and sometimes has to be lifted from place to place." "Who lifts her?" Edna was much interested at this peep into Miss Newman's life. "I do when I am there, for I know just how to do it without hurting her." "Will she sit there all day where you left her?"
"Accept my best thanks for Professor Newman's writings on the Christian Commonwealth and the New Crusade. I really feel ashamed to deprive you of the latter, and Professor Newman of the former, but it would be most ungracious of me to refuse to accept them.
The quarter has an air of modern opulence and convenience which seems at variance with the ascetic institution, and the impression made upon Newman's gloomily-irritated gaze by the fresh-looking, windowless expanse behind which the woman he loved was perhaps even then pledging herself to pass the rest of her days was less exasperating than he had feared.

In this and many other cases, Newman seems to love to caricature himself, and to put his beliefs in that form in which they outrage common sense most completely. We can imagine nothing more calculated to drive a young and ingenuous mind into flippant scepticism than a course of Newman's sermons.
The sergeant rose, and took Newman's hand in his, "Goodbye, Martin. Some day I may stand with you beside her grave." And then, ere the captain of the whaleship could stay him, he went on deck, descended the gangway, and was rowed ashore to the glittering lights of the southern city.
As Meynell gave out the text, there were many who remembered the picture of Oxford hanging in Newman's study at Edgbaston, and those same words written below it. "Can these dry bones live?" So Newman had asked in despair, of his beloved University, and of English religion, in the early years after he had deserted Anglicanism for Rome.
There is a very pathetic incident in their home life, which occurred just before Frank Newman went to college, which reveals to the thoughtful reader a world of information as to what was the attitude of thought in that household. I quote from J. H. Newman's diary: "Sept. 30, 1821. Sunday.
