Caterina soon conquered all prejudices against her foreign blood; for what prejudices will hold out against helplessness and broken prattle?

And Philip went to bed, quite feeling as though he had done a virtuous action. George came punctually enough on the following evening, which was that of the day of Lady Bellamy's conversation with Angela, a conversation which had so upset the latter that she had already gone to her room, not knowing anything of her cousin's proposed visit.
Every particle of "copy" which Bok had prepared was used, the book began to sell, and within three months it was the most discussed book of the day. The book was Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward". XI. The Chances for Success
George's recovery, when the doctors had given up all hope, was sufficiently marvellous to suggest the idea that a certain power had determined on the hangman's principle, perhaps to give him the longest of ropes; but it could in reality be traced to a more terrestrial influence namely, Lady Bellamy's nursing.
I intensely sympathise with the aspirations that lie behind all these Socialist dreams.

So Mrs. Sharp, who had been heard to say that she had no thoughts at all of marrying Mr. Bates, though he was 'a sensable fresh-coloured man as many a woman 'ud snap at for a husband, enforced Mr. Bellamy's appeal.
