"A provost and corporation," returned Clem.
'And is he the eldest son? 'He's the eldest son, and will be Sir Henry I think that's his name by and by. But he's not rich; quite the contrary, he's very poor for a baronet; and I incline to think that is one of the reasons that influenced your father. Being so fond of the Elliotts, he wished to repair, in some degree, the dilapidation of their fortunes by yours.
So I suppose I shall have to be satisfied with that." "Would you marry him if he were a Methodist, Miss Cornelia?" "No, I would not. Politics is for this world, but religion is for both." "And you may be a 'relict' after all, Miss Cornelia." "Not I. Marshall will live me out. The Elliotts are long-lived, and the Bryants are not." "When are you to be married?" asked Anne. "In about a month's time.
Pryor can and will her comments are sulphurous. "I really feel sorry for the Elliotts and Crawfords and MacAllisters over-harbour.

Dudley had received a wound in the leg, and could only get along with great difficulty.

The cold, which had brought the roses to the cheeks of the little Elliotts, had given Emily a blue, pinched look, which it made her father's heart ache to see. "The bairn's cold. Let her come in and warm herself," said Janet, promptly.
I s'pose you wondered what his object was in turning himself into a sort of dime museum freak." "Is he a modern Nazarite or a Hebrew prophet left over from olden times?" asked Anne. "Neither of them. It's politics that's at the bottom of his freak. All those Elliotts and Crawfords and MacAllisters are dyed-in-the-wool politicians.
We are here for so short a time; and all the old people before us Rutherfords of Hermiston, Elliotts of the Cauldstaneslap that were here but a while since riding about and keeping up a great noise in this quiet corner making love too, and marrying why, where are they now? It's deadly commonplace, but, after all, the commonplaces are the great poetic truths."
"He's a bachelor. But if he had a wife I reckon she couldn't make him break that vow. That family of Elliotts has always been more stubborn than natteral.
