The boy had been asleep about a quarter of an hour, when the recollection suddenly flashed upon Margery's mind that she had left the book open to all comers and goers, instead of putting it carefully away, as was her wont. The rustle of Margery's dress made Lord Marnell look up. "What meaneth this, I pray you, mistress?" asked he, angrily.
The centinel and bandy-legg'd drummer! nothing on this side of old Athens could equal them! they read their lectures under the city-gates to comers and goers, with all the pomp of a Chrysippus and a Crantor in their porticos.

You can do without a preacher for a little.” And if they were to ask, “How do you know?” I should reply, “Because it’s hard work to get you to one meal a week.

As I dressed I put a little English penknife into my waistcoat pocket, instead of a poniard.

The chapel opened upon an upper verandah; he crossed it to get a better light and stood to read with his back half turned upon the comers and goers. It was her first communication since they parted, and in spite of its colourlessness, it seemed to lay strong, eager hands upon him, turning his shoulder that way, upon the world, bending his head over the page.
