"Hardly, to take my place. My father was Mr. Turnbull's partner." "Oh!" said Hesper, not much instructed. "I thought you had only to give warning." There the matter dropped, and Mary thought no more about it. "You will let me keep this pattern?" said Hesper. "It was made for you," answered Mary.
But our friends were consoled by meeting numbers of the peasants jolting home from market in the painted carts, which are doubtless of the pattern of the carts first built there two hundred years ago.
At the foot of the descent she paused again, and looked to the right and left. Captain Phippeny was watching her from his vantage ground above. His figure was one unmistakably of the seaboard. His trousers were of a singular cut, probably after a pattern evolved in all its originality by Mrs. Phippeny, her active imagination working towards practical effect.
At Chicahuastla we were on the very summit of the great water-shed, and from it, when the air is clear, one may look down, over a sea of lesser summits and mountain ranges, to the waters of the Pacific. Along the Pacific coast, in the state of Guerrero, are whole towns of Africans, descendants of slaves, who build their houses after the circular pattern, so common throughout the dark continent.

"Would you tell Pattern or somebody to send a man for Dr. Jones? Tell him to beat the record." The sporting one sprinted toward the shrubbery which lay between the grounds and the kitchen-gardens, beyond which were the stables. Most people, with the better sort of mind, withdrew and made efforts to recommence the interrupted games or to group themselves once more about the lawns and marquees.
In every faculty of body, mind, heart, and soul he was built after a large pattern. His virtues were large and his vices were not small. As Lincoln said of Seward, he could swear magnificently.
