Mr Siftwell is a shrewd and clear-seeing man in points of theology, and I would trust a great deal to what he says, as I have not, at my advanced age, such a mind for the kittle crudities of polemical investigation that I had in my younger years, especially when I was a student in the Divinity Hall of Glasgow.

I wish the Grand Canyon were over in Jersey!" "Sept. 4. I am unfit to speak to you, but oh, I need you as I never did before. Don't turn those kind, clear-seeing eyes away from me, Lucy! Lucy! It happened this way.

As this is a criminal matter, I will also take care to have the attendance of an upright and clear-seeing magistrate, who will proceed with us not certainly later than ten o'clock to morrow." He then took his leave, with an air of much importance, and more alacrity than I could have expected from a man of his years.
He seemed bent on annoying him with little side issues and captious objections, not so much showing a disposition to meet him squarely, upon the simple and clearly defined elements of the case, as to draw him away from them and keep them as far out of sight as possible.
