"The last time," said Clarence to himself, "that I travelled this road, on exactly the same errand that I travel now, I do remember that I was honoured by the company of one in all respects the opposite to mine honest host; for, whereas in the latter there is a luxuriant and wild eccentricity, an open and blunt simplicity, and a shrewd sense, which looks not after pence, but peace; so, in the mind of the friend of the late Lady Waddilove there was a flat and hedged-in primness and narrowness of thought; an enclosure of bargains and profits of all species, mustard-pots, rings, monkeys, chains, jars, and plum-coloured velvet inexpressibles; his ideas, with the true alchemy of trade, turned them all into gold: yet was he also as shrewd and acute as he with whose character he contrasts, equally with him seeking comfort and gladness, and an asylum for his old age.
"Shirley and Sarah," whispered Jane in Judith's ear. But the two figures on the path had turned, and were now lost in the darkness along the lonely hedged-in walk. "Imagine!" said Judith indignantly. "Those two little freshmen away over here instead of being at their books!" "And did you notice Shirley was blaming little Sarah for whimpering?

"Because men are brutes! I hate men!" she exclaimed. "I thought you said you liked him?" said Helen.
"A big knife and some spoons too," Judy cried after his disappearing figure, "and don't let Aunt Emily see you, mind." The Tramp looked up sharply. "I had an Aunt Emily once," he said behind his hedged-in face. Expecting more to follow, the others waited; but nothing came. There was a little pause. "Once?" asked Maria, wondering perhaps if there were two such beings in the world at the same time.
