Three things abide vividly in the memory: the Jewish cast of so many of the large inscrutable faces of the wearers of the white mitres; a little aged, isolated, ecclesiastic of high rank who muttered irascibly to himself; and a precentor who for a moment unfolded his hands and lowered his eyes to pull out his watch and peep at it.
"Oh, girls, I've got a wonderful plan something new for the soldier boys!" cried Betty, breaking in upon her two friends merrily. Then, seeing that she had interrupted something, paused and looked uncertainly from Amy to Mollie and back again. "Why, Mollie," she cried anxiously, "what is the matter?"

The door bell rang. Leroux, heedless of external matters, pursued his work. But the door bell rang again and continued to ring. "Soames! Soames!"

Soames did not reveal himself; and to the ringing of the bell was added the unmistakable rattling of a letter-box. "Soames!"
"Member of what?" cried she, not guessing at the actual meaning. "Of parliament, Miss Corny; to replace Mr. Attley. The gentlemen came to solicit him to be put in nomination."

Well may you say brazen, Mrs Pipchin! returned Miss Tox. 'To leave him! Such a noble figure of a man! And here Miss Tox is overcome. 'I don't know about noble, I'm sure, observes Mrs Pipchin; irascibly rubbing her nose. 'But I know this that when people meet with trials, they must bear 'em. Hoity, toity! I have had enough to bear myself, in my time! What a fuss there is!
"Hang your gudgeon pin!" cried the skipper irascibly, not perhaps for the moment attaching the importance it demanded to this small but essential part of the engines, uniting the connecting rod of the crank shaft with the piston which he thus irreverently anathematised; and then, struck by the comic aspect of the situation, with the waves breaking over us and the elements in mad turmoil around us, while the fat old chief was blubbering there like a boy about his gudgeon pin as if bewailing some toy that had been taken from him, that he burst out with a roar of laughter, which was so contagious that, in spite of the gloomy outlook and our perilous surroundings, Mr Fosset and all of us on the bridge joined in, even the quartermaster not being able to prevent a grin from stealing over his crusty weatherbeaten face, though the man at the wheel on board ship, when on duty, is technically supposed to be incapable of expressing any emotion beyond such as may be connected with the compass card and the coursing of the ship.
