Lydia had been surprised to receive a visit from this elegant lady, and had readily accepted the story of her friendship with James Meredith. Mrs. Cole-Mortimer's invitation she had welcomed. She needed some distraction, something which would smooth out the ravelled threads of life which were now even more tangled than she had ever expected they could be. Mr.

If any brilliant, or beautiful, or even tolerable effect have been produced, this pattern of kindly readers will accept it at its worth, without tearing its web apart, with the idle purpose of discovering how the threads have been knit together; for the sagacity by which he is distinguished will long ago have taught him that any narrative of human action and adventure whether we call it history or romance is certain to be a fragile handiwork, more easily rent than mended.

We saw, too, a canopy of cloth, wrought with gold threads, which had been borne over the head of King James I., when he came to York, on his way to receive the English Crown.

Look at her soliloquy, 'Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, etc., and yet it is woven through and through with immortal threads of fidelity and contempt of death: 'O! bid me leap, rather than marry Paris, From off the battlements of yonder tower. . . . Or bid me go into a new-made grave. How great this girl is! If I were to meet her, how I should be awed!

By the time that this was done the first cat's-paws of the approaching breeze were playing around us, distending our lighter sails for a moment or two, and then dying away again.
