And although the oldest pupil was barely thirteen, every one of the six became in two minutes perfect in the shape, cut, colour, price, and quality, of every article Miss Pupford wore. Thus delightfully ushered in, the holidays began. Miss Kitty Kimmeens remained behind, for her relations and friends were all in India, far away.
Later, when Everett Brimbecomb was ushered into his office at the capital, the governor was primed with the sympathy that he had gathered from his wife's letter. "This is something of a surprise, my dear boy," he said. "I did not know you were coming to Albany so soon." "I came with a purpose," replied Everett; "for, as you know, my father is away, and I need your advice in something."
Nothing at all, it was only the ceremonious salute, to which I am as yet unaccustomed. What always strikes one on first entering a Japanese dwelling is the extreme cleanliness, the white and chilling bareness of the rooms.

If the illness come on at night, particularly if it be ushered in either with a severe shivering, or with any other urgent symptom, no time should be lost, be it night or day, in sending for him,
A few minutes later we were ushered into the awful presence of the "Veiled Prophet," a tall, ferret- eyed man in a robe that looked suspiciously like a brocaded dressing-gown much too large for him. Sure enough, he addressed us solemnly by name and proceeded directly to tell us why we had come.
The door was swung open, and the party, now reduced to Bradley and five Wieroos, was ushered across the threshold into a large, irregularly shaped room in which a single, giant Wieroo whose robe was solid blue sat upon a raised dais.
