They were silent for a little while, and then Mr. Crisparkle began anew. 'When we first spoke together, Neville, you told me that your sister had risen out of the disadvantages of your past lives as superior to you as the tower of Cloisterham Cathedral is higher than the chimneys of Minor Canon Corner. Do you remember that? 'Right well!
In a word, a city of another and a bygone time is Cloisterham, with its hoarse Cathedral-bell, its hoarse rooks hovering about the Cathedral tower, its hoarser and less distinct rooks in the stalls far beneath.
In all the length and breadth of Cloisterham there was no more noted man than the stone-mason, Durdles, not, I regret to say, on account of his virtues, but rather because of his talent for remaining out late at night, and not being able to guide his steps homeward.
All this set of conjectures is crude to the last degree. We do not know how Dickens meant to get Edwin into and out of the vault. Granting that Edwin was drugged, Jasper might lead Edwin in, considering the licence extended to the effects of drugs in novels, and might strangle him there. Above all, how did Grewgious, if in Cloisterham, come to be at hand at midnight?
This and my happening to be alone with you and everything around us seeming so quiet and peaceful after Mr. Honeythunder's departure and Cloisterham being so old and grave and beautiful, with the moon shining on it these things inclined me to open my heart. 'I quite understand, Mr. Neville. And it is salutary to listen to such influences.
He is not going back into the country, therefore, just yet. She follows him a little way, hesitates, instantaneously turns confidently, and goes straight into the house he has quitted.

These are early days of Neville's in Cloisterham, and I have no fear of his outliving such a prejudice, and proving himself to have been misunderstood. But how much wiser to take action at once, than to trust to uncertain time!
Grewgious had to turn his eye up considerably before he could see the chambers, the phrase was to be taken figuratively and not literally. 'And how did you leave Mr. Jasper, reverend sir? said Mr. Grewgious. Mr. Crisparkle had left him pretty well. 'And where did you leave Mr. Jasper, reverend sir? Mr. Crisparkle had left him at Cloisterham. 'And when did you leave Mr.
When the story opens, Edwin is nearly twenty-one, and is about to proceed to Egypt, as an engineer. Rosa, at school in Cloisterham, is about seventeen; John Jasper is twenty-six. He is conductor of the Choir of the Cathedral, a "lay precentor;" he is very dark, with thick black whiskers, and, for a number of years, has been a victim to the habit of opium smoking. He began very early.
Collins died in 1873. It appears that Forster never asked him the meaning of his designs a singular oversight. The cover lies before the reader. In the left-hand top corner appears an allegorical female figure of joy, with flowers. The central top space contains the front of Cloisterham Cathedral, or rather, the nave.
