It was a very small much-thumbed book a religious story for infants, given her by her mother when she had first learn'd to read. While they were all keeping this solemn stillness-broken only by the suppress'd sobs of those who stood and watch'd for the passing away of the girl's soul a confusion of some one entering rudely, and speaking in a turbulent voice, was heard in an adjoining apartment.
The bitter-sweet cup of unpopularity he drained to its dregs, and drained it cheerfully, as one knowing beforehand that it is preparing for him and cannot be avoided. "Have you learn'd lessons only of those who admired you and were tender with you? and stood aside for you?
"Envy, to which th' ignoble mind's a slave, Is emulation in the learn'd and brave." So much for the plan. In your last letter, you desire that I will afford you some means of appreciating the essential difference between the old system of education pursued in France, and the basis on which public instruction is now on the point of being reorganised and established.
Convinced by this that the fellow must be an idiot, I told him so, and left him staring after us; nor heard the sound of his horses moving on again for many minutes.

But we, war's wehr-wolves, we than wolves more fain. God, were it not Best for Thy world we should not come again? But he was to come again, for all his reluctance and shrinking from a return.
I learn'd the meaning when, about two hundred yards before we came on the road again, the mare's forelegs went deep, and next minute we were plunging in a black peat-quag. Heaven can tell how we won through. It must have been still partly frozen, and perhaps we were only on the edge of it.

I knew Lycas was jealous, which kept me tongue-ty'd so long, and the love he bore his wife made him discover to her, his inclination to me: But the first opportunity we had of talking together, she related to me what she had learn'd from him; and I frankly confess'd it, but withal told her how absolutely averse I had ever been to't: "Well then," quoth the discreet woman, "we must try our wits, according to his own opinion, the permission was one's, and the possession another's."
