Justina knew what these words meant, and stood still arranging her leaves, to let them pass on and the others come up. Soon after which they all merged into one group. John gave his arm to Mrs. Henfrey, and Emily, falling behind, began to consider how much Justina had heard, and what she would do.
You almost dismissed Mr. Mortimer! Surely, surely you cannot wish to prevent his coming here to see me." Justina spoke with a displeasure that she hardly cared to moderate.
Gratian loved and revered him as a father; and the elaborate treatise on the faith of the Trinity was designed for the instruction of the young prince. After his tragic death, at a time when the empress Justina trembled for her own safety, and for that of her son Valentinian, the archbishop of Milan was despatched, on two different embassies, to the court of Treves.
Emily was seven-and-twenty, and had always been accustomed to defer to Miss Fairbairn as much older as well as wiser than herself; and this deference did not seem out of place, for the large, fair spinster made the young matron look slender and girlish. John Mortimer remembered how Emily had said a year ago that he could not do better than marry Justina.

Another of Murillo's renowned pictures is that of the patron saints of Seville, 'Santa Rufina and Santa Justina, who were stoned to death for refusing to bow down to the image of Venus.
