This part of the lane was marked by some insignificant though very abrupt depressions and elevations of the surface. Occasionally he of the floating apparel was lost to sight; then he would appear all glorious on some small height, while the mind was compelled to revert irreverently to the picture of Moses on Mount Pisgah.
"Oh yes, she clings like a leech to the skirts of the Church," said Piers irreverently. "There are plenty of her sort about wherever there are parsons, in fact. Of course it's the parsons' fault. If they didn't encourage 'em they wouldn't be there." "I don't know that," said Avery, with a smile. "I think you're a little hard on parsons." "Do you? Well, I don't know many.
The Pope walked on till he reached this shadow and paused in it, while Benedetto, who had stopped several paces behind that he might not seem to press him irreverently in his anxiety for an answer, was gazing at the moon, sailing midst the great clouds above Rome.
She got out of the saloon somehow; she believed afterwards, on thinking about it, that she had never bidden good-by to Lady Cuxhaven, or Mrs. Kirkpatrick, or 'all the rest of them, as she irreverently styled them in her thoughts.

There is no one else," she added softly, "who can live there, amongst all those wonderful things, and call it really home!"
She was now sitting between the millionaire, James Tapster, and her own friend, Bill Donnington. When she had heard that she had been placed next Donnington, Bubbles had pouted. "I'd rather have had Sir Lyon," she exclaimed, "or even the old 'un!" for so she irreverently designated Helen Brabazon's uncle, Mr. Burnaby. But Blanche Farrow had been firm.
