At the desk I was handed a note from Whipper, saying: If you cannot make the Quickenbush rifles $4.60 please omit them. There was but $3 profit in the item, and I would have omitted them but for a desire that Blissam should not get ahead of me; so I started for the store to learn something about it. On the way I met Blissam, and I put it right at him. "Are you quoting Quickenbush rifles at $4.60?"

Peter, where he speaks of Christ, the living stone, quoting from the prophet Isaiah, "Whosoever believeth on him shall not be confounded; thereon do I build, and know that the word will not deceive me." But if you will speak like other fools, "Yes, we will hear how the council decides, and with that we will abide," then are you lost.

What do you think, when he shifted to the German side, of his telling the lord of the manor, while that great authority on cattle was quoting his experience in the breeding of bulls, that experience, properly understood counted for nothing, and that the proper way to breed bulls was to look deep into your own mind, evolve out of it the idea of a perfect bull, and produce him?

He gave Pope a wonderfully high character, and remarked that one of his chief beauties was the skill exhibited in varying the cæsural pause, quoting from various parts of his author to illustrate his remarks. He said little on the politics of the country, but spoke at considerable length of Sheridan and Burke, both of whom he had heard, and described with graphic effect.

Southward, across the park, the dread house rose. He began quoting Colney Durance with relish while sarcastically confuting the cynic, who found much pasture in these Gardens. Over Southward, too, he would be addressing a popular assembly to-morrow evening. Between now and then there was a ditch to jump. He put on the sympathetic face of grief.

'Sad' frequently occurs in this treatise; it is from the Saxon, saetan set, fixed, gloomy, grievous, mournful. Ed. The first and second editions have 'the saints, instead of 'such are saints. Ed. In quoting these passages, Mr. Bunyan has mixed the Puritan version with that now authorized; very probably, quoting from memory.

A letter from Mr Somerville to my father explained my conduct; and my father, in reply, said I certainly must have been mad. To this I assented, quoting Shakespeare "The lunatic, the lover, and the poet," etcetera! So long as I was out of the scrape, I cared little about the impeachment of my rationality. The days at the Hall flew, just like all the days of happy lovers, confoundedly fast.

It is just to prevent us from being able to ask inconvenient questions of the German nurse and Mrs. Bury and all! 'Now, Ida, I wish you would put away that fancy. Your uncle and aunt were always such good people! And there was Mrs. Bury 'Mother, you will never understand the revenge of sordid souls, said Ida tragically, quoting from The Unconscious Impostor. 'Revenge! What can you mean?

"`You called me a careless fellow, said I, hardening myself, and looking fierce. "`Well; but I did not know at the time that you were the owner of the books. "`No matter, you came here to fight, and so did I. Don't let us waste more words. "`Truly he suffereth long, cried one of the boys, with a sneer and a laugh, quoting from the Bible, which, it was well known, Tom Turner read daily.

"A man ought not to be tame," he used to tell her, quoting the Spanish proverb in defence of the splendid Capataz. She was growing jealous of his success. He was escaping from her, she feared.
