Elwood's name caused Elfreda to dart through the hall and downstairs to the living-room in search of the good-natured matron. Failing to find her, she walked through the kitchen to the shady back porch, where Mrs. Elwood sat rocking and reading the newspaper which the newsboy had just brought. "Oh, Mrs. Elwood," she cried, "have you seen Grace and Anne? We can't find them."
B. L., a prominent banker and a valued citizen, was questioned precisely as he would have been questioned in any court in America: "Have you heard of this homicide?" "Yes." "Have you held conversations upon the subject?" "Yes." "Have you formed or expressed opinions about it?" "Yes." "Have you read the newspaper accounts of it?" "Yes." "We do not want you."
When I remarked this to the Boy he replied with a faint chuckle that he felt like a newspaper himself "a newspaper," he repeated, shivering, "with the smallest circulation in the world. And if it weren't for your dressing-gown there wouldn't be any circulation left at all."
Went ashore in the captain's boat not ashore, either, for they would not let us land. Quarantine. Shipped my newspaper correspondence, which they took with tongs, dipped it in sea water, clipped it full of holes, and then fumigated it with villainous vapors till it smelt like a Spaniard. Inquired about chances to run to blockade and visit the Alhambra at Granada. Too risky they might hang a body.
The newspapers would be the pillory of our day, were it not that, on the whole, the newspaper press is conducted with such scrupulous fairness and with a love of truth and justice such that no man need shrink from the path of duty through fear of insult and injury. But it is time to come to the encounter between Shame and Faithful in the Valley of Humiliation.

George had scarcely explained to the Dean an incoherent story of L500 won through a newspaper competition, when the Mr. Lawrence, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., whose practice was at Runnygate, arrived. Informally the purchase was at once arranged; a further meeting settled.
"But I am glad I showed you that newspaper," said Lavretsky, walking after her; "already I have grown used to hiding nothing from you, and I hope you will repay me with the same confidence." "Do you expect it?" said Lisa, standing still. "In that case I ought but no! It is impossible." "What is it? Tell me, tell me."
Margaret went once more to the broom closet and got a shovel, a dust-pan, a whisk-broom, a damp cloth, and a newspaper. There were andirons in the fireplace and the ashes lay all over and around them, so her aunt first helped her lift these heavy things out on the newspaper at one side. Then she told her to sweep most of the ashes into a small pile right in the centre of the hearth, at the back.
As for me, I am to be cashier of a newspaper, with a salary of three thousand francs, and there you are, out of all your anxieties on my account." "Is it possible?" cried Agathe. "Yes; provided you can go security for me in twenty thousand francs; you need only deposit your shares in the Funds, you will draw the interest all the same."
