There was no explaining the manner of Jane's bringing-up if it were not necessary that she should be able to support herself; the idea on which Michael acted was not such as would suggest itself, even to Sidney's mind.

I can understand it in others, but for me it is different. I have tasted too deeply of the other life. I should get restless " "You are getting restless already," she interrupted gravely, "and you have not been here two days!" They were interrupted by Sidney's clear whistle, and a moment later Molly came tripping down the path. "Come along in," she said; "the old gentleman is going.

"La, mother!" cried the youngest of the cousins, a square-built, ruddy, coarse-featured urchin, about Sidney's age, "La, mother, he never see a coach in the street when we are at play but he runs arter it." "After, not arter," said Mr. Roger Morton, taking the pipe from his mouth. "Why do you go after the coaches, Sidney?" said Mrs. Morton; "it is very naughty; you will be run over some day."

He went on, generously expressing sincere hopes, that his friend might obtain Selina Sidney's affections, and might enjoy that domestic happiness, which Vivian was going to say, which he had himself forfeited; but checking this regret, he only said "that domestic happiness, which I consider as the summit of human felicity, and which no man can deserve better than you do, my dear Russell."

Selections from Nashe's The Unfortunate Traveller are given in Craik, I., 573-576, and selections from Sidney's Arcadia in the same volume, pp. 409-419. For the preliminary sketching of characters that might serve as types in fiction, read The Spectator, No. 2, by Steele.
