But she laughed at it, and buried her face in her pillow and went to sleep, hoping to dream again. In less than one week Valmond was as outstanding from Pontiac as Dalgrothe Mountain, just beyond it in the south. His liberality, his jocundity, his occasional abstraction, his meditative pose, were all his own; his humour that of the people.
I pleased myself with the idea how completely, when I came to the estate, I would renovate all things, and make the old building ring with merriment, till it was astonished at its own jocundity. The chamber which I occupied on these visits was the same that had been my mother's, when a girl. There was still the toilet-table of her own adorning; the landscapes of her own drawing.

He bore his responsibilities lightly and displayed them to his friends with the same profound pride with which a small boy exhibits a collection of beetles, but they meant nothing more.

To speak the truth, he had wantonly involved himself in a multitude of small book-debts of this stamp, which, notwithstanding Eugenius's frequent advice, he too much disregarded; thinking, that as not one of them was contracted thro' any malignancy; but, on the contrary, from an honesty of mind, and a mere jocundity of humour, they would all of them be cross'd out in course.
He hurried after Penelope, rather actively for him. Lord Bazelhurst visited his wife's room later in the night, called there by a more or less peremptory summons. Cecil had been taking time by the forelock in anticipation of Shaw's descent in the morning and was inclined to jocundity. "Cecil, what do you think of Penelope's attitude toward Mr.
'These are the draws, said the man in the rabbit-skin waistcoat, waving a dirty scrap of paper in a dirtier hand 'these are the draws for the first encounter. He began to read a list of names.
