If haply he is able to read, his library will be a few lean sheepskin-clad volumes, such as Boston's Crook in the Lot, Fisher's Marrow of Modern Divinity, Brooks's Apples of Gold, Bolton's Saint's Enriching Examination, and Halyburton's Great Concern.
Anne struck out Halyburton's name, and put Lord David Dirry-Moir's in its place, that he might, when no longer a peer, have the satisfaction of being a vice-admiral. Anne was well pleased. A hideous husband for her sister, and a fine step for Lord David. Mischief and kindness combined. Her Majesty was going to enjoy a comedy.
Duncan said in his class one day when telling us to read Augustine's Autobiography and Halyburton's: "But," he said, "be prepared for this, that the tinker beats them all!"

There was nothing for it but to take another into their secret.
