It was through the Bullers that we first knew Carlyle, and I suppose in due time he will relate his intimacy with the Austins and Sterlings in the same manner. It is right to say that there are many persons still alive who will not be pleased at having their portraits drawn by so strong a hand Mrs. Procter, for instance.
They were dining early that night on account of the Bullers' box party, but it was nearly eight o'clock before Flora reached the house.
In the evening of the day on which I went to the Bullers, she took me by the hand, and tossing her curls said, "I have taken you up, Margery Vandaleur. Mrs. Minchin told Mamma that she has taken the bride up. I heard her say that the bride was a sweet little puss, only so childish. That's just what Mrs. Minchin said. I heard her. And I shall say so of you, too, as I've taken you up.
She told Miss Burleigh when she returned to Brentwood that she was not going out of reach on Monday; she was going to stay a few days with her uncle Laurence in Minster Court. "Cecil will be so glad!" said his devoted sister. "There are no more Bullers to conquer, are there?" Bessie asked, turning her face aside. "I hope not. Oh no!

The little Bullers' things were "made in the house," after the pattern of mine. "And one sees the fashion-book, and gets a few hints," said Mrs. Buller. If Mr. They openly remarked on it, and did not scruple to do so in my hearing. Callers from the neighbourhood patronized me also. Pretty ladies in fashionably pitched bonnets smiled, and said, "One of your little ones, Mrs. Buller?
With mouths open and eyes stretched to the utmost, these Bounding Bullers if we may so call them lay concealed behind a neighbouring mound, and watched the watcher.
