Mammy Belle was of the type fast disappearing. She wore head handkerchiefs of bright colors, and her purple calicoes were stiff with starch and spotlessly neat.
The theological position of L. was a complicated one, combining High Churchism, mysticism, and Puritanism: his writings are characterised by vigorous thought, keen logic, and a lucid and brilliant style, relieved by flashes of bright, and often sarcastic, humour. His work attacking Mandeville's Fable of the Bees is perhaps that in which these qualities are best displayed in combination.

No. 107 of Maynard's English Classics contains selections from both Wycliffe's Bible and Mandeville's Travels. What is the subject matter of the Ancren Riwle? What is the keynote of the work?

"That's awkward," returned Allan. "I was just going to ask you what we ought to do next." "I don't like the look of the place, the look of the shop-woman, or the look of the doctor," pursued the other.
