Urgent business of a public nature had brought him to Paris, but this was a private matter which he desired to dispose of before he attended to anything else. The place he sought was easily found. It was a plain gateway of yellowish-white stone, over which hung a brand-new tricolour from a flag-staff fixed at an angle, and on either side a striped sentry-box containing a Garde de Paris.
The thought of his bank balance failed to bring him any satisfaction whatever. He seemed suddenly, as clearly as though he were looking into a mirror, to see himself with eyes. He recognized even the blatant stupidity of his return, and he admired Ellen more than he had ever admired her in his life. "Where to, sir?" his brand-new chauffeur asked. Burton pitched away his cigar.
This neighborhood is called New Woodstock, but has by no means the brand-new appearance of an American town, being a large village of stone houses, most of them pretty well time-worn and weather-stained.
Chook held the candle in his hand to show the little dresser with the cups and saucers and plates arranged in mathematical precision. The pots and pans were already hung on hooks. They had all seen service, and in Chook's eyes seemed more at home than the brand-new things that hung in the shops. As Chook looked round with pride, he became aware that Partridge was pushing something into his hand.
During this day, too, even this first day, not five hours after he had tried to coax the bride away, the elderly suitor came back from some unknown quarter, with a brand-new wife of his own; precipitation worthy of the vulgar house-sparrow of our city streets, which these birds also resemble in their constant broils.

"No, indeed! You must be in it of course!" they cried.
But you'll have to be a fearless explorer now to find of a fine spring day any such cluster of curious objects as doesn't seem made to match before anything else Mr. Baedeker's polyglot estimate of its chief recommendations. This great man was at Assisi in force, and a brand-new inn for his accommodation has just been opened cheek by jowl with the church of St. Francis.
But," Ferrall reined in to listen, "but if ever a man awakens her I don't care who he is you'll see a girl you never knew, a brand-new creature emerge with the last rags and laces of conventionality dropping from her; a woman, Kemp, heiress to every generous impulse, every emotion, every vice, every virtue of all that brilliant race of hers." "You seem to know," he said, amused and curious.
The worship at the Temple of Heaven was also re-established and so was the official worship of Confucius both Imperialistic measures whilst a brand-new ceremony, the worship of the two titulary Military Gods, was ordered so as to inculcate military virtue!
"I've missed it so all winter. The northwestern sky has seemed blank and lonely without it." The land was tender with brand-new, golden-green, baby leaves.
