As she and her mother were out on a lengthened cruise among long-suffering acquaintances, going to the De Brownes after the Gores, and the Smijthes after the De Brownes, with as many holes to run to afterwards as a four-year-old fox, though with the same probability of finding them stopped, of course she had her wardrobe with her.
It was destiny that he should take his place on the vestry; destiny, indeed, that he should ultimately become the vestry as well as the first layman of the diocese; unobtrusively, as he had accomplished everything else in life, in spite of Prestons and Warings, Atterburys, Goodriches, and Gores.
"Dead to leeward, sir." "Up helm, then; pile on the sail again, ship keepers! down the rest of the spare boats and rig them Mr. Starbuck away, and muster the boat's crews." "Let me first help thee towards the bulwarks, sir." "Oh, oh, oh! how this splinter gores me now! Accursed fate! that the unconquerable captain in the soul should have such a craven mate!" "Sir?" "My body, man, not thee.
But when we came to put them together, they wouldn't fit without turning one of them the wrong side out. Eleanor had boasted too soon. We got headaches and backaches with stooping and puzzling. We cut up all our stuff, but the gores remained obstinate. I really think we cried over them with weariness and disappointment. "Algebra's a trifle to it," was poor Eleanor's conclusion.
I don't care whether it has gores down the side, and plaits up the middle, with frills around the ruffles, or whatever you call them it's good."

Why should man have a conscience, and monkeys none? Why is there no trace of conscience in the animal or vegetable kingdom? Because it is the gift of God. What sign of regret, repentance, or remorse, do we find in the cat or the dog, the rat or the hog? If a bull gores a sheep to death, does he express regret? Is a horse sorry if he crushes to death a child or a chicken under his hoof?
Well, I know, and you know, that all along a line that 's being surveyed, there 's little dabs of land that they call "gores," that fall to the surveyor free gratis for nothing.
'Now come along, Miss Barton, cried Mrs. Barton, catching sight of Alice; 'and will you, Lord Dungory, look after Olive? Lord Rosshill collected the five Honourable Miss Gores, the Miss Brennans drew around Mrs. Scully, who, without taking the least notice of them, steered her way. And so ended, at least so far as they were concerned, the ball given by the spinsters of the county of Galway.
"Ho no, misss! you cuts the body out of the gores you throws hout, misss " "Well, if you get the body out of them, there must be a waist!" Jack broke in, as he sat fondling Miss Lining's tom-cat. "Ho no, sir!" said Miss Lining, who couldn't have seen a joke to save her dignity. "They cuts to good add-vantage, sir." The mystery was now clear to me, and Jack saw this by my face.
Freedom of thought, however, in the sense in which it is understood by Protestants, was the very thing which Schlegel, Göres, Adam Müller, and so many others, did give up when they entered the Catholic Church. They felt as Wordsworth did when he wrote his beautiful ode to "Duty;" they had more liberty than they knew how to use
