A particular toll of the bell called all hands to the quarter-deck, when the writer read a chapter of the Bible, and, the whole ship's company being uncovered, he also read the impressive prayer composed by the Reverend Dr. Brunton, one of the ministers of Edinburgh.
"'If you think it really necessary, he answered, with some hesitation. 'To continue my statement, however: I relocked the bureau, using the key which Brunton had left, and I had turned to go when I was surprised to find that the butler had returned, and was standing before me. ""Mr. Musgrave, sir," he cried, in a voice which was hoarse with emotion, "I can't bear disgrace, sir.
As she spoke, she got up and went towards the child, as if to take her up. 'Do away! do away! cried Bella, in shrill affright at this movement. 'Dunnot, said Sylvia; 'she's shy; she doesn't know strangers. But Mrs. Brunton had grasped the struggling, kicking child by this time, and her reward for this was a vehement little slap in the face.
Marcellus Donatus knew a young man who could not eat an egg without his lips swelling and purple spots appearing on his face. Smetius mentions a person in whom the ingestion of fried eggs was often followed by syncope. Brunton has seen a case of violent vomiting and purging after the slightest bit of egg.
But, like almost everybody mentioned here, Regina is a document of the demands of readers and the faculty of writers: and so she "standeth," if not exactly "crowned," yet ticketed. Work somewhat later of some interest, but not of first-class quality, is to be found in the Discipline and Self-Control of Mary Brunton.

What are you about?" said the doctor as he came toward them. "I was just sayin' to yer wife, sir, that if " "My wife!" said Dr. Brunton, laughing: "I have no wife, and don't want one."
"I have been placed in the uncomfortable position of a listener to your conversation in the next room," said Mr. Brunton, closing the door; "and I cannot allow those remarks made by the clerk with whom you were talking to pass unqualified." "They need little explanation, sir," said Ashton.
The deception which he first practised on that night when he yielded to Ashton's persuasion, was now a system. He reasoned the matter over with himself: there could be no good in telling her; their opinions were different; he would take his course, independently of hers. Uncle Brunton noticed the change; for to those who saw him seldom the change was sudden.
Brunton would arrange all his accounts, and pay them either from his mother's income, or by advancing the money as a loan. When the morning dawned, it found George still writing. As the clock struck seven, he packed up what few things he had with him, paid his hotel bill, and drove off to Falcon-court. He was there by eight o'clock, before any of the clerks had arrived.
