In plain words, would you take her unto yourself as your wife, to love and cherish and honour, mind you, HONOUR, to the end of your days on earth?" He stood up, facing her, his face white. "She has done nothing dishonourable," he said levelly. "'The sins of the mother," she paraphrased, without taking her eyes from his. "Was her mother any worse than my father?
"It's known you landed in her boat." I didn't answer him; it was plain enough that the drogher's arrival had either not been reported to him, or it had been searched in vain. "In her boat," he repeated. "I tell you I know she is not dead; even you, an Englishman, must have a different face if she were." "I don't at least ask you for life," I said, "to enjoy with her." "She's alive," he said.
"On the Saturday, just before I started home on the omnibus, a plain, unsophisticated Christian came and said, 'O sir, let me have hold of your hand. When he had seized it between both his, with tears streaming down his face, he said, 'Glory be to God that ever you came here. My wife before her conversion was a cruel persecutor, and a sharp thorn in my side.
The whole plain, dewy and fresh, sprang up in the light of the morning. They saw the steep mound crowned by the Mexicans, and men still at work on the hasty trench.

Lawrence had given her his confidence, and she valued it, for with all her ignorance of society she had seen too much of plain human nature to suppose that he was often taken off his guard as he had been by her: and was she going to expose him to Yvonne's lacerating raillery? A thousand times no!
"You would have done the same for me." "Yes, I would," answered Jack, heartily, "But there's no one else who would have done it for me." "Are you going to leave me out, my boy?" asked the Yankee, with a smile on his plain but good-natured face. "No, sir," responded Jack. "You stood up to the captain like a man. He didn't frighten you."
The friction which will arise should any attempt of the sort be made, especially as the power is not stated in the Bill, is evident. In plain words, it will be impossible to levy the tax. But apart from these rights, which one may safely say will never be exercised, the financial arrangements will from their very complexity be a constant source of trouble.
No stranger seemed ever to find his way into that broad, minutely-cultivated fertile plain which High Thorpe looked down upon. No railway had pushed its cheapening course across it.
This army, bearing knapsacks and full campaign equipment, moved forward as if, by the force of its closely knit columns, it must sweep every barrier away. But, right in the way was a calm, intense love of liberty. It was represented by men of the same blood and of equal daring. A strong contrast marked the opposing Englishmen that summer afternoon. The plain men handled plain firelocks.
