She urged upon her companion the idea of labouring in the world of fashion, appeared to attribute to her familiar relations with that mysterious realm, and wanted to know why she shouldn't stir up some of her friends down there on the Mill-dam?

The most important example of attributes ascribed on this ground, is the employment of terms expressive of approbation or blame. In some cases, under the semblance of a single attribute, two are really predicated: one of them, a state of the mind itself; the other, a state with which other minds are affected by thinking of it. As when we say of any one that he is generous.
"My dear Freddy is nothing but a fanciful idea, with no attribute whatever except the name." "You are a most extraordinary young person," said Lawrence; "almost as extraordinary as your aunt.

Do the Protestant Dissenters of our time wish to see the Church put down by an invasion of foreign Calvinists? If not, to what cause are we to attribute the change? Surely to this, that the Protestant Dissenters are far better treated now than in the seventeenth century.
Such, then, is the "anxious existence" which you attribute to me. Find me a husband who can act in the same way. Still, as might have been foreseen, great changes have taken place in the internal arrangements of my household, where it became necessary that the Turkish elements should be partially replaced by others more adapted to the exigencies of western civilization.
