'Just think of it! I heard her cry to her sister, 'when I've told my seminary chums that I've been up in a real airship! Then, seeing that she was safe, I think her folks were just as proud of her exploit as she was. Anyhow, she ran up to her father in a coaxing way, and came back to place a bank note in my hand.
"What you mean, I think, is that you think I'm too young for you. It's a compliment, really. Men have trouble saying what they think, sometimes." She seemed pleased, like a teen-ager. "What are you studying?" Joe asked. "Buddhism. I have a doctorate in comparative religion. I was a pastor for a while and then I worked at a seminary. I was canned." "Fired?" "Yup.
"You must watch out for him. If he attempts to bother you while you are here let us know at once." "We will." "I hope the case in court is decided soon, and in your favor." "Say, stop!" cried Tom, as they were turning into the gate at the seminary. "What's up?" asked Sam, while Dick halted the team he was driving. "Here comes a buggy along the side road. Just look who is in it!"
Miss L. A. Pousland was one of the best ladies I have seen in this city, for it was from her house that I went to the Wayland Seminary in 1875, and to her love I owe a love of gratitude, and to all that may come to me as worldly goods I shall always think of Miss L.

He had recently made the discovery that pretty girls may be quite interesting; and, moreover, one or two of them whom he had met at the school dances when the young ladies from the Misses Bradshaws' seminary had come over, duly guarded and chaperoned, to one-step and fox-trot with the young gentlemen of the school one or two of these young ladies had intimated a certain interest in him.
And now she died, leaving £3,000 to her nephew Phineas Finn. Another sum of about equal amount she bequeathed to a Roman Catholic seminary; and thus was her worldly wealth divided. "She couldn't have done better with it," said the old doctor; "and as far as we are concerned, the windfall is the more pleasant as being wholly unexpected."
What soon became a seminary for males was commenced on the 18th of January, 1836, with seven boys from the city, and the number was soon increased to fifty by accessions from the surrounding region, among whom were three deacons and one priest. Manuscript cards prepared by Mr. Perkins supplied the place of books.
Here they procured the clothing of which they were wofully in need, and then descended the river to Quebec, where they took lodging, some with the Recollet friars, and some with the priests of the Seminary, in order to escape the questions of the curious. At the end of August, they embarked for France, and early in October arrived safely at Rochelle.
Three children and a daughter-in-law joined her in believing, and it was delightful to see the family, not long after, each in his or her turn, calling on the name of the Lord in one of the rooms of the Seminary.
