Here's that thing now on the bed behind me. It's trying to get around in front where I'll have to see it get another candle. No don't leave me, this one will go out while you're gone." All his strength went into the grip on Follett's arm. The candle was sputtering in its pool of grease. "There, it's gone now don't, don't leave me. It's trying to crawl over me I smell the blood "
No one ever ventured to calculate upon Sir William Follett's overlooking a slip or failing to seize an advantage. Totus teres atque rotundus must indeed have been the case which was to withstand his onslaughts.
Was not Sir William Follett's life one uninterrupted scene of splendid slavery, the pressure of which at length broke him down in the meridian of his days?
Was such an illegitimate source of anxiety to one so circumstanced, and capable of Sir William Follett's superior aspirations? Was it not abundantly justified by his splendid qualifications and expectations? Why, then, should he not toil severely exert himself even desperately to provide against the direful contingency to which his life was subject?
To the young, eager, and ambitious lawyer, the contemplation of Sir William Follett's career is fraught with instruction. It will teach him the necessity of moderation, in the pursuit of the distinctions and emoluments of his profession. By grasping at too much often every thing is lost.

Of course I never had no revelations from the Lord and never did I claim to have, but you don't need the Holy Ghost coming upon you to tell you the plain doings of common sense." Whatever the nature of Mr. Follett's business, his confidence in the soundness of his attitude toward it was perfect.
Far back, Prudence trembled, feeling that she must be away at once, until she felt the firm grasp of Follett's hand. The speaker went on, having turned again to the front. "Instead of a church you shall become justly hated and despised as a people who foul their homes and dishonour beyond forgiveness the names of wife and mother.
Don't pile it all on me at the last. The end has come anyway. Don't do that don't, don't!" "There, there, be still now." There was a rough sort of soothing in Follett's voice, and they were both silent a moment. Then the young man went on: "But what do you expect? Suppose everything was left to you, Mister. Come now, you're trying to talk fair.
This topic naturally leads to some observations upon the consummate skill, the wonderful rapidity of perception, precision of movement, and unfaltering vigilance, which characterized Sir William Follett's conduct of business.
