Any woman might be pleased with his companionship; and you, with your intellect, your culture, you, so born for high station, you of all women might be proud to partake the anxieties of his career and the rewards of his ambition." "I cannot, I cannot. He may be all you say, I know nothing against Mr. Chillingly Gordon, but my whole nature is antagonistic to his, and even were it not so "
But take my promise, if you can hold that of value from one whom you can suspect of deliberate deceit." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Chillingly. Bear with my rudeness. I have been so taken by surprise, I scarcely know what I am saying. But let us understand each other completely before we part. If your parents withhold their consent you will communicate it to me; me only, not to Lily.
Chillingly, how are you? Did not know you were in town. Been here all the evening? Yes; very good debate. How did you like Gordon's speech?" "I liked yours much better."

The small lattice was open, and the air came rather chillingly to the bride's bosom. "It is a gloomy morning, dearest Nell," said she, shivering; "the winter seems about to begin at last."

"Kiss it!" echoed Chillingly Gordon, pushing back his chair "kiss it! pooh, sir, stand off! I never kissed my own baby: I shall not kiss another man's. Take the thing away, sir: it is ugly; it has black eyes."
