The lady picked up the garment, looked at it, and sat down in the chair. "Your boss is to bed, I s'pose likely?" she asked. "You mean Mr. Atkins? I suppose likely he is." "Um. I judged he was by" with a glance at the garment which she still held "the looks of things. What in the world ARE you doin' cleanin' house?" The young man sighed wearily.
It was to this church that the early voyageurs belonged. And I do not use that word "belonged" as it is employed in modern times among protestants: I mean more than that convenient, loosely-fitting profession, which, like a garment, is thrown on and off, as the exigencies of hypocrisy or cupidity may require. These men actually did belong to the church.
"The likeness is astonishing" he admired the carriage of his own head in Charley's swift lines "the garment in perfect taste. Form there is nothing like form and proportion in life.

Her look was curious, and anxious, and loving, all at the same time. He pretended to be asleep. He did not like to see her watching him. His handsome masculine face, tanned that pale brown which tropical climates give to fair complexions, looked odd as it rose above a light-blue cape, a very feminine garment which, as it had no sleeves, had been tied round his neck to keep him from being cold.

Religion has in our days fallen into decay among men of intellect and achievement. The world has thrown it, like a worn garment or an old skin, from off its body, the thing itself being no longer real and alive, and in harmony with the life of an age that struggles towards a different kind of truth.
