In a day or two more, if this cool warmth perseveres in serving me, and no Ariel refills me 'with aches, I shall fulfil your kind wishes perhaps and be out and so, no more about me!... Oh, I do believe you think me a Cockney a metropolitan barbarian!
Drawing-paper is given him, and a pencil is thrust into a hand that has grown so hard and horny with constant hewing of wood that it scarcely possesses sensitiveness sufficient to grasp and ply the slim little art-implement. The young fellow perseveres, however, and finally produces a tolerable copy of the picture.
The Government perseveres in maintaining the salutary measures which it has adopted. I hope it will be in vain for the remnant of the factions to renew their plots. The patriots will continue united. Fresh troops having been summoned to Paris, and my presence at their head being considered indispensable by the Government, I shall not have the satisfaction of seeing you so soon as I hoped.
The certainty, of his obtaining the money, rests on the faithfulness of his kind parent. This servant perseveres, uses convincing arguments and the son at length believes he is saved by faith from all his miseries, and he rejoices with joy unspeakable. But his believing does not make the record any more true than it was before he believed it.

Of these three firms one is extinct; the second has taken up, and made its own, the fascinating study of hybridization among orchids; the third still perseveres. Twenty years ago, nearly all the great nurserymen in London used to send out their travellers; but they have mostly dropped the practice. Correspondents forward a shipment from time to time.
I accordingly ordered my carriage and returned to Versailles, where, on the same evening, I received the following letter from the marechale: "MY DEAR COUNTESS, My efforts have been attended with no better success than yours. Well may the proverb say, 'There is none so deaf as he who will not hear, and M. de Rumas perseveres in treating all I advanced respecting his wife as calumnious falsehoods.
She perseveres with the cod-liver oil, but still finds it very nauseous. "She is truly obliged to you for the soles for her shoes, and finds them extremely comfortable. I am to commission you to get her just such a respirator as Mrs. had. She would not object to give a higher price, if you thought it better.
