"A car is going in later, to meet poor Tom's father," he said, "and if it's any convenience, it would take you both." The pair thankfully agreed.
I have found very fashionable girls capable of large sacrifices for love, or kindred, or obedience to some divine voice. This proves that they have only to be taught that there is something better than being very fashionable, to take it thankfully.

Jarley remarked that she could pledge herself to no specific salary until she had tested Nell's ability, but that she could promise both good board and lodging for the child and her grandfather.

As the days were long, we hoped the gale would blow itself out before the next morning.
