Denry explained to his mother that an Englishwoman's cottage was her castle, that a landlord's minions had no right to force an entrance, and that the one thing that Mr Wilbraham could do was to begin unbuilding the cottage from the top outside.... And he would like to see Mr Wilbraham try it on! The moon shone in the chill night.
"That is what was worrying him most," the child added; "and even after I had started he called me back, to bid me not forget the message. It was the third time he had given it to me." When Colomba heard of her brother's injunction she smiled faintly, and squeezed the fair Englishwoman's hand.
'A boy that can knock my door down, said Mrs MacStinger, contemptuously, 'can get over that, I should hope! But Walter, taking this as a permission to enter, and getting over it, Mrs MacStinger immediately demanded whether an Englishwoman's house was her castle or not; and whether she was to be broke in upon by 'raff. On these subjects her thirst for information was still very importunate, when Walter, having made his way up the little staircase through an artificial fog occasioned by the washing, which covered the banisters with a clammy perspiration, entered Captain Cuttle's room, and found that gentleman in ambush behind the door.
But he was conquered by the young Englishwoman's translation of his favourite, and, I think, his finest work. It is a thoroughly trustworthy and excellent translation; but the execution of it was child's play in comparison with the translations from Giusti. She translated a number of the curiously characteristic stornelli of Tuscany, and especially of the Pistoja mountains.

She shifted her glance to the old man. He, standing crookedly, cocked his head and nodded. "He knows all about it." "Yes, yes," said Paul. "How is my father?" Jane threw out her hands in the Englishwoman's insignificant gesture.
Micheline, lowering her eyes, and awed by the Englishwoman's grandeur, timidly said: "I accept it, Madame, as a token of friendship." "I think I recognize this bracelet, Madame," observed Serge. "Yes; you gave it to me," replied Lady Harton, quietly. "Semper I beg your pardon, Madame, we Poles all speak Latin Semper means 'Always! It is a great word.
I left her without giving her time to answer, and went to order dinner. I had ceased to believe the Frenchman to be the beautiful Englishwoman's husband, and began to think I should have to fight him.
King Cophetua, who sends "profoundly grateful remembrances," has most surely written the letters he would wish to receive. "Mrs Meynell!" cries one reviewer, triumphantly. Nay, the saints be good to us, what has Mrs Meynell in common with the "Englishwoman's" language, style, or most unconvincing passion?
Then he took his hat, and going out, wandered by the shore of the glacier in the night, repeating to himself the Englishwoman's words: "They said that they hoped he could be recovered." Zimmermann came to the tent where he kept his instruments, and stood there, looking at the sea of ice.
As Abdul came to his master's side, Michael saw his eyes linger on the Englishwoman's beauty. He knew that to the Eastern, mixture of mystic and fanatic as he was, her freshness and fairness were like the scent of white jasmine to his nostrils.
