The arrival home of the vessel, so long overdue, and the publication of the adventures of those who went out and came home again in her, created a profound sensation almost throughout the length and breadth of England, and proved quite a god-send to the daily papers for a few days; but it was soon obliterated by the occurrence of events of greater importance to the community at large, and the chief personages of the story were allowed to sink back into a welcome obscurity, although the public interest in the subject was fitfully revived from time to time by accounts of proceedings in connection with the restoration, as far as possible, to its rightful owners of the booty brought home in the Flying Cloud's hold; but even this complicated matter was settled after a time, and now the good ship's name never appears in the public prints except in the advertising columns as being "for Melbourne direct," or among the shipping news as "spoken" or "arrived."
I shall be alone there with my servants, you know, and your society will be a god-send to me. Had you not better go down at once when I do? I go by land, in a hired carriage.

Here, as you know, the matter rests between the two thousand foreigners and the forty million Japanese a God-send to all editors of Tokio and Yokohama, and the despair of the newly arrived in whose nose, remember, is the smell of the East, One and Indivisible, Immemorial, Eternal, and, above all, Instructive.
They happened to come out about sunset upon the Birralong road near Marmot's store at a moment when some of the residents were mutually encouraging one another to lose their tempers over Gleeson's swagger in the billiard-room. The appearance of Tony was hailed as a god-send.
She revered the nobility; and knew well how to preserve her own dignity by giving to persons of noble birth the respect and deference that were due to them. This little company was a god-send to Madame d'Hauteserre, who had not, like her husband, rural occupations, nor, like Laurence, the tonic of hatred, to enable her to bear the dulness of a retired life.
"But, of course, there's Smith." "Why, certainly there's Smith. What a God-send that chap is. He is always on the spot. But Cameron is home. I see his horse. Let us go in and face the music." They found an excited group standing in the kitchen, Mandy with a letter in her hand. "Oh, here you are at last!" she cried.
"'Ah, said he, 'here is something useful, and he undid his sash, and then feeling in his breast pocket, he hauled out a tin tobacco-case, and opening of it, says he: "'Tom, here's a real god-send for you. This and the sash I will give you as a keepsake. They are mine by the fortune of war, but I will bestow them on you." "Oigh! oigh!" said Peter, "she was no shentleman."
