She was handsome enough to take any man's fancy, and Faith knew how badly Forrester had suffered over the disappointment of his marriage. A hundred little incidents came crowding back to her mind, cruelly magnified. The way he invariably chose to talk to Peg in preference to herself.
Thrale suggests that he was offended by Molly Aston's preference of his Lordship to him . I can by no means join in the censure bestowed by Johnson on his Lordship, whom he calls 'poor Lyttelton, for returning thanks to the Critical Reviewers for having 'kindly commended' his Dialogues of the Dead.
At the conclusion Miss Jenkyns said to me, with mild dignity, "Fetch me 'Rasselas, my dear, out of the book-room." After delivering one of the conversations between Rasselas and Imlac in a majestic, high-pitched voice, Miss Jenkyns said, "I imagine I am now justified in my preference for Dr. Johnson over your Mr. Boz as a writer of fiction."
The wily authorities knew very well that if it had not been, the entries for the prize would have been somewhat small. Why the Upper Fifth were so favoured in preference to the Sixth or Remove is doubtful.

Northern Ohio is more New Englandish than Southern Ohio, and the parallel holds good in Northern and Southern Illinois. There will undoubtedly be a large emigration to Missouri in preference to the other Southern States, but our whole migratory element will not find accommodation in her limits. The entire South will be overrun by settlers from the North.
Butter all the rounds and sprinkle them with grated cheese for preference with Gruyere. On half the number of rounds place a bit of ham cut to the same size. Put a lump of butter the weight of egg into a pan, and fry with the rounds in it, till they become golden.
