At one point the pattern seemed displaced, and there was a vibrating movement of the colours at this point. Hapley suddenly moved his head back and looked with both eyes. His mouth fell open with astonishment. It was a large moth or butterfly; its wings spread in butterfly fashion!
She had found out that the wall-paper in Old Grannis's room was the same as that in hers. "It has led me to thinking, Doctor McTeague," she exclaimed, shaking her little false curls at him. "You know my room is so small, anyhow, and the wall-paper being the same the pattern from my room continues right into his I declare, I believe at one time that was all one room.
Something took my appetite when I saw her eat so little, and there was a quantity of food left for somebody to consume, and she hungry. I was afraid we'd have to send for a doctor for Mamie Sue after she had cleared my large napkin we spread to put it all on. The Jamison biscuits are cut on the same plump pattern that Mamie Sue is and all my sandwiches were good and thick.
When one is worn out, I ask for another made just on the same pattern, and just because they all hate it so." "But you will change it for me. Come at once, Irene." Rosamund took her friend's hand and led her upstairs to her room. Now, Irene's bedroom was not at all an attractive place to go into. In itself it was an exceedingly large and airy apartment, and the furniture was excellent.
But for years my hope, nay, my confidence, has been, not that the imperfect image of my thought, which is an ill-shaped work of the youthful carver who has seen a heavenly pattern, and trembles in imitating the vision not that this should live, but that my vision and passion should enter into yours yea, into yours; for he whom I longed for afar, was he not you whom I discerned as mine when you came near?

'The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. LUKE xvi. 8. The parable of which these words are the close is remarkable in that it proposes a piece of deliberate roguery as, in some sort, a pattern for Christian people. The steward's conduct was neither more nor less than rascality, and yet, says Christ, 'Do like that!
And as he sat down near her his elbow touched her neck. Then a thrill went through his body, such as he had never felt in all his life. Leo Heller shook hands with him across the table, and said, laughing, "To our good friendship, you pattern boy, you!" "I am, unfortunately, not worthy to be taken for a pattern boy," he answered, innocently. "Then be glad; I am not one, either.
It is true you will not get ornament so, but you may learn something for your trouble; whereas, using an obviously true principle as a stalking-horse for laziness of purpose and lack of invention, will but injure art all round, and blind people to the truth of that very principle. Limitations also, both as to imitation and exuberance, are imposed on us by the office our pattern has to fulfil.
"Married 'er cousin," said Mr. Skelmersdale, and reflected on the pattern of the tablecloth for a space. When he spoke again it was clear that his former sweetheart had clean vanished from his mind, and that the talk had brought back the Fairy Lady triumphant in his heart.
