Si uxorem requiris, circumspice! This proposed expedition was a great event in our comparatively quiet circle. The Mistress, who was interested in the school, undertook to be the matron of the party.

Paul's is as its surroundings echoes and whispers, inaudible songs, invisible mosaics, wet footmarks crossing and recrossing the floor.

Government by the broad and easy path, following the lines of least resistance, like the natural order, saying might is right, means either tyranny or anarchy. Circumspice! One of the glories of western civilization is its hospitals.

He spoke, presently, of myself. "As for you, Mr. Mallock, I need not tell you how high you are in favour here. Si monumentum requiris, circumspice"; and he waved his hands at the rich rooms.
