Dolly's eyes, travelling round the assemblage with complacent indifference, rested at last on the side-table where the subject of Euphemia's remarks sat. He really was an eligible Philistine, it seemed, despite Griffith's unflattering description of him. He was a long-limbed, graceful man, with an aquiline face and superb eyes, which at this moment were resting complacently upon Dolly herself.
My statue was inlayed with gold, its girdle of pale gold; his majesty caused it to be made. Such is not done to a man of low degree. May I be in the favour of the king until the day shall come of my death. The Adventures of Sanehat appears to have been a popular tale, as portions of three copies remain. The present translation is mainly based on Mr. Griffith's readings in all cases of difficulty.
Griffith's, Sylvanus Urban's, another great friend of our country, who insisted on my occupying the seat which Dr. Franklin used to sit in, and after him Lord Byron. Mr. Cary has a good, sensible face, is about five feet seven in height, and forty-six years old, very moderate of speech, and talks with a low voice.
The young lady recovered her recollection in time to suppress the remainder of the sentence, though the grateful expression of Griffith's eye sufficiently indicated that he had, in his thoughts, filled the sentence with expressions abundantly flattering to his own feelings. "How's this, again!" cried the colonel; "my two wards embracing and fondling a vagrant, vagabond peddler, before my eyes!
It was not till the second Christmas after dear Ellen Fordyce's death that my eldest brother brought his wife and child to Chantry House, after an urgent letter to Lady Peacock from my mother, who yearned for a sight of Griffith's boy. I do not wish to dwell on that visit.

There is one outstanding photoplay that I always have in mind when I think of film magic. It illustrates some principles of this chapter and chapter four, as well as many others through the book. It is Griffith's production of The Avenging Conscience. It is also an example of that rare thing, a use of old material that is so inspired that it has the dignity of a new creation.
Moreover, the Lady Louisa Bullock was noted for fashionable extravagance of the semi-reputable style; and there would have been vexation enough at Griffith's being her guest, even had not the performance taken place on the very day of the funeral of Ellen's grandfather, so as to be an outrage on decorum.
"I say Stonehouse I was coming for you it's a circus they're going all the way down to the Green they've got their tent there if we could only climb up somewhere I can't see a thing not even the elephant's legs." "If we cut round by Griffith's Road we'll get there first," Robert shouted. "Only we've got to run like mad."
