There were eight children in the family, and the mother was an invalid. Dredge never had a penny from his father after he was fourteen; but his mother wanted him to be a scholar, and "kept at him," as he put it, in the hope of his going back to "teach school" at East Lethe.
How different is the accent in which the French describe English history from that of the English themselves! Remember that with every breath we draw, an ethereal stream of Lethe runs through our whole being, so that we have but a partial recollection of our joys, and scarcely any of our sorrows. I have always known how to value, and use, this gift of God. IV. The Birth of "Iphigenia"

She read again: "'I feel that it is time for me to become civilized in other words, to come in out of the wet. To me you have been, for twenty years, the embodiment of woman's truth, purity and goodness.
Habit is as inevitable as Memory; and as nothing can be forgotten, but, when once known, is known forever, so nothing is done but will be done again.

Frank turned upon his heel and spoke to Holton. "What do you think of this investment?" he inquired. "Wal," said Holton, "I think it's a blamed good thing. I'd only like the chance to go into it, myself."
If you really must look, there is the knot-hole." "No, Miss 'Lethe," he said gallantly, "I resign the knot-hole to you. I shall climb the tree." "Oh, be careful Colonel!" Miss Alathea cried, alarmed. "Don't break your neck!" But she added, as an afterthought: "But be sure to get where you can see."

"I have already begun it," replied Polykarp, "but I am still tired from last night." "You look pale, and have dark lines under your eyes," said Dorothea anxiously. "Go up stairs and he down to rest. I will follow you and bring you a beaker of old wine." "That will not hurt him," said Petrus, thinking as he spoke "A draught of Lethe would serve him even better."
