And the forest is like a great palette set full of reds and blues and greens and yellows, out of God's own color-box. Oh, it's such a glorious old world, Susanna, and I'm so glad, so glad to be alive!" The widow put her arms akimbo and looked at Katharine over her spectacles, as she might have studied some new and rather formidable insect.
"Will you soon be leaving town?" she replied, looking steadily at her work, and declining to discuss Adam and Eve, who were depicted naked. Receiving no reply, she looked round, and saw Marmaduke leaving the room with the woman in the black silk dress. "Who is that girl?" said Susanna, as they went out. "That's Lady Constance, whom I was to have married."
Aunt Susanna had recently read a magazine article which stated that the higher education of women was ruining our country and that a woman who was a B.A. couldn't, in the very nature of things, ever be a housewifely, cookly creature. Consequently, Margaret's chances looked a little foggy; but we hadn't quite given up hope.

Hearing of the arrival, Mistress Tozer hurried to the shore, bidding Susanna notify the few neighbors and invite them all to her home for the day. Spinning, weaving, and other household cares were always pushed aside for such an occasion as a visit. "And may we keep her for days, Jacob?"

"You tell him to come right straight back here an' do it now, if he wants a bite to eat.
She smiled and played with the lace of her cushion. "So you remarked before," she said. "I love you," said he, with fervour. "By the bye," she said, "I forgot to mention that you are to take Mr. Willes with you." "Oh ?" puzzled Anthony. "Willes? Why?" "For several reasons," said Susanna. "But will one suffice?" "What's the one?" She looked up at him, and laughed. "Because I wish it."
We have come to consult you on some important business, and shall be glad to step into your cottage." With this remark they both dismounted from the phaeton, and passed into the house. Here they found the whole family, and Mr. Spink introduced them in order to the ladies his wife, Lucinda, his oldest daughter, Susanna, then Elmira, Robert and Jonathan.
Then, hearing the kitchen door unclose, she remarked: "Well, I hear Moses coming in, and we three old people must get to rest. I am surely obliged to you for the help and comfort you are to me, Susanna, and to Moses, too. We'll do the best we can, and day by day." "Certain, Eunice.
Clearly, Susanna Wesley is not to be considered as having merely accepted the ecclesiastical situation, turning "Churchwoman" by marriage. Dr. Annesley's daughters were remarkable for their personal beauty, and from all accounts it would seem that the subject of this narrative shared this "dower." She was of average stature and slight frame.
