When we arrived at our station, the old lady tipped a porter to find out from my luggage who I was; and when she died several years later she left me in her will one of my most valuable jewels.

"It sounds contradictory," she said honestly. "Not at all, Addie," said Esther. "The Bible is a literature, not a book.

It may be said without exaggeration that the few meetings of his life with those who had a touch of the poet in them had been exquisitely uncomfortable. Silent, almost taciturn by nature, he was a great reader of poetry, and seldom went to sleep without having digested a page or two of Wordsworth, Milton, Tennyson, or Scott.
"Publishing magazines full of slander about George Washington, and this new kind of stubby-ended poetry!" "It is very different from Tennyson," said Winona. "The other one's a man," went on Sharon. "You remember when you was worried because he wouldn't settle down to anything? Well, you watch him from now on!
Tennyson! Tennyson! Who spoke of Tennyson? Oh! it was too bad; too mean! How on earth could anyone be expected to guess that Tom had meant Tennyson, when she had expressly said Alfred the Great? Rhoda protested loudly, and the other girls backed her up; but Tom was obdurate. "And isn't Tennyson known as `Alfred the Great' as well as the other crittur?
