But, for the present, we gratefully accept M. Turgeneff, and reflect that his manner suits the most frequent mood of the greater number of readers. If he were a dogmatic optimist we suspect that, as things go, we should long ago have ceased to miss him from our library.
Hitherto this lovely spot had escaped all the ravages of war. The light division of our army had occupied it for months long; and every family was gratefully remembered by some one or other of our officers, and more than one of our wounded found in the kind and affectionate watching of these poor peasants the solace which sickness rarely meets with when far from home and country.
Some little time after, she actually found a novio, and hastened gratefully to take San Antonio out of his damp quarters, set him up on his altar again, and burn tapers for his edification.
"It would have been a pity not to let me see the brave gentleman, if indeed you have been so happy as to save his life. Come in, my lord, come in. You are welcome. What we have we give cordially." "And therefore what you give will be gratefully received," replied the emperor, entering and seating himself. "Now, sir," said Marianne, "I will go and prepare the dinner."
It was gratefully accepted, for indeed it had already been coveted as an ideal residence for a busy politician who wanted fresh air, and could not safely be far from the House of Commons.

He raised himself up on one arm and looked gratefully at Miss Salome. "Thank you," he said. "I'll work hard. I'm used to doing a lot." "There, there!" said Miss Salome, patting his shoulder gently. "Lie down and rest. Dinner will be ready soon, and I guess you'll be ready for it." To Clemantiny she added in a low, gentle tone, "There's a look on his face that reminded me of Johnny.

"It does all seem so big; but I am sure not to want anything. Thank you." "Here is your box, miss. Would you like me to help undress you?" "Oh, no!" Aggie laughed.
Christina accepted the change gratefully. It had always been a trial, this disapproval of Wallace's mother. She ought to be very happy, she told herself, when she scolded herself for still longing to be away.
