He staid talking with me till almost 12 at night, and so good night, being sorry to part with him, and more sorry that he should have as far as Wapping to walk to-night. So I to my Journall and so home, to supper and to bed. 16th.
"You must go this instant!" she cried out, catching Livingstone's arm. "Constance, make him go; he has staid too long already. You know you promised." "I did promise," Constance answered, calmly, almost proudly "and he will keep it." Then she turned to Guy, who was kneeling by her, and hid her face in his neck, locking her arms round him. Her aunt caught the words "Not forget!"
Her money was so well invested that I have practically nothing to do. I expect my duties will commence when the young men come!" "Miss Mannering," Sir Leslie said, gravely, "is not at all attracted by young men. She prefers something more staid.

Bland's, the merchant, where we staid discoursing upon the reason of the delay of the going away of these things a great while. Then to eat a dish of anchovies, and drink wine and syder, and very merry, but above all things pleased to hear Mrs. Bland talk like a merchant in her husband's business very well, and it seems she do understand it and perform a great deal.

Her plan was that Nina should marry here at home some one of the staid young merchant princes rising into prominence in the Western metropolis, and from the very outset Nina had shown a singular infatuation for the buttons and straps and music and heaven-knows-what-all out at the fort. She gloried in seeing her daughter prominent in all scenes of social life.
Tufnell, the staid old butler, who had inherited his place from his father, bowed gravely, and answered decorously: "Everything is quite right, ma'am." Miss Heredith walked slowly round the spacious table, adjusting a knife here, a fork there, and giving an added touch to the table decorations.
