The old clothes hung on the men like scarecrows. Their gray jackets were in rags, and did not keep out the chilly wind sweeping over the frozen fields. Their old blankets were in shreds, and gave them little warmth when they wrapped themselves up in them, shivering in the long cold nights.
Great general scholars, excellent physicians, Most admired statesmen, profest favourites, And Cabinet counsellors to the greatest princes; The only languaged men of all the world! Peregrine. And I have heard, they are most lewd impostors Made all of terms and shreds, no less beliers Of great men's favours, than their own vile med'cines...
I never saw anything to equal his ingenuity in ferreting out such articles, and his incorrigible mischief in destroying them.

It tickled his fancy somehow. As he looked at it he grinned. He looked at it again and vaguely recalled some shreds of the club gossip about Miss Schley's attractions.
A veil of cloud that had hidden the stars all through the night dissolved softly into shreds of gold, and across the sea with a diamond splendour there shot the first great ray of sunlight. It was then that Jeanie seemed to awake, to rise as it were from the depths of reverie. Her eyes widened, grew intense; then suddenly they smiled.
