Whatever we wish to buy, we ought first to consider not only if the thing be fit for us, but if the manufacture of it be a wholesome and happy one; and if, on the whole, the sum we are going to spend will do as much good spent in this way as it would if spent in any other way. It may be said that we have not time to consider all this before we make a purchase.
Yes, she had been reared that way, and the world would call her narrow. Would Christ the Lord feel that way about it? Did He like to have His children dressing like abandoned women and making free with one another under the guise of polite social customs? Did He want His children to spend their Sabbaths in play, however innocent the play might be? She turned with a sigh away from the window.
Towards the latter end of their Prayer, they loudly invoke their Prophet, for about a quarter of an Hour, both old and young bawling out very strangely, as if they intended to fright him out of his sleepiness or neglect of them. After their Prayer is ended, they spend some time in Feasting before they take their repose.
What I mean to say is, if a fellow in those days wanted to give anyone a letter of introduction, he had to spend a month or so carving it on a large-sized boulder, and the chances were that the other chappie got so sick of lugging the thing round in the hot sun that he dropped it after the first mile.
"Madame, you forget yourself!" cried the princess, becoming pale with rage. "Madame, I do not forget I remember, like other people; that is all. I had no relation of whom I could ask an asylum.

She saved her own small wages, and grudged all she had to spend for necessary clothes, that she might contribute further to the comfort and beauty of the general home. After Warren Reyburn's visit the last barrier between Betty and Ma seemed to be broken down.
Thus without leaving the eastern empire one can spend weeks of most interesting travel, and pass through territories inhabited by peoples of separate racial types and of totally different tongues. Perhaps no other region of the world can furnish such a variety of climes and such marked contrasts of national habits and costumes.
"Have you thought upon that?" she said. "Yes," I said, "very much." "It is a great question!" she said, her face becoming grave again. "I know," I said, "of course one ought to do all one can. But what I want to know is, how much one can. How much ought one to spend, for such things?" "It's a great question," Miss Cardigan repeated, more gravely than before.
"I think so; and now lend me your strength, both of you, and let's see if we can move that loose piece of rock. I'll bet there is an opening there." "You are right yes, lad, you have indeed raked into the old Mexican's treasure den; I can recall now some words he once spoke." "Don't spend any more time recalling; let's shove that rock aside if we can."
"I want to see Romeo and Juliet together." "May I go with you?" asked Baird. Latimer had not come in when he returned to their lodgings. He also had been out to spend the evening. But it was not many minutes before Baird heard his latch-key and the opening of the front door. He came upstairs rather slowly. "You are either ill," Baird said, when he entered, "or you have met with some shock."
