"From all sides," he said, when the door was closed, "I hear that you have done great things. From every quarter one hears your praise." He held him at arm's length. "Yes," he said. "Your face is graver and more striking in resemblance than ever. So now you know now you have seen." "Yes," answered Barebone, gravely. "I have seen and I know."
In her tone there was a mingling both of surprise and disappointment. "Yes, madam," answered Jack, respectfully. "Pardon me," she said, "there is very little personal resemblance. I should not have suspected that you were her brother." "She is not my own sister," explained Jack, "but I love her just the same." "Do you live in Philadelphia? Could I see her?" asked the lady, eagerly.
The existence of any other edition being unknown to its editor, it differed in nothing from the preceding, except that the dates of some of the letters were suppressed, a part of the notes cut out, and some passages added from the Memoirs of Saint-Simon, together with a life, or rather panegyric, of the Princess, which bore no slight resemblance to a village homily.
Your education and environment have developed an outward resemblance to the thing you profess to be, but behind don't you fell the grip of the other things?" "I feel them, right enough," Granet replied. "I have felt them for the last seven or eight years.

On grand occasions Marie Louise bore no resemblance to the Marie Louise in private life; she assumed a coldness which was mistaken for disdain.
In the broad lake, however, the light still lingered, and around the immediate scene of the present incidents, which was less shaded than most of the sheet, being in its broadest part, it cast a glow that bore some faint resemblance to the warm tints of an Italian or Grecian sunset.
From such allurements, however, as from all else, the mourner turned only the more deeply to cherish the memory of the dead; and it was a touching and holy sight to mark the mingled excess of melancholy and fondness with which he watched over that treasure in whose young beauty and guileless heart his departed Isabel had yet left the resemblance of her features and her love.
Presently, while I stood admiring this most lovely work, the young man I have mentioned as having raised Yoletta from the ground at the grave came to my side and remarked, smiling: "You have noticed the resemblance." "Yes, indeed," I returned; "she is painted to the life."
