Every method known to the Flat of beguiling the time until the advent of this long-looked-for phenomenon had been tried.

As soon as the Queen was in bed, she wished to see the long-looked-for infant. The Princesse de Guemenee brought him to her.

What golden days in the holidays, when long-looked-for letters arrived full of religious admonition, letters which were carried about and wept over till they fell to pieces under the stress of such a worship what terrors and agonies of a stimulated conscience what remorse for sins committed at school what zeal to confess them in letters of a passionate eloquence and what indifference meanwhile to anything of the same sort that might have happened at home!
'So here you are! she said, as we drew near. Her tone suggested that my coming were the arrival of a very welcome and long-looked-for guest. 'You see, Nick, I am so lazy that I never go to any one; and people are so kind that every one comes to me, sooner or later.
