Our poets call a good blade 'trusty' and 'true'; and of our best friend we say, 'He is true as steel' signifying in the ancient sense the steel of a perfect sword the steel to whose temper a warrior could trust his honour and his life.

But the brightness had not yet had any of the gilding rubbed off everyone liked him, no one could be dull where he was. Mrs Franklin, how sweet and lovable her gentle face!
