She even judged it probable that Gwenda had known very well what she was doing when she went away.
What may be proper to be admitted, and what are necessary to be rejected, is judged and determined, in the first instance, by the provincial judicature, then subject to the approbation or disapprobation of the Proprietors; and so far of the British parliament, that nothing may be attempted by them derogatory to the sovereignty and supreme jurisdiction of the mother country.

She followed her stepfather into the prim little study. There was no fire, and the room was colder than a vault on this bleak December day.
He spoke with a curious eagerness, like one who pleads that his good-will shall not be judged by mere failure or success. Maxwell raised his shoulders.
