It is a niche, with two Corinthian columns, surmounted by a half-circular pediment, which is richly ornamented. A statue of Moliere is placed in the niche in a sitting posture, and in a meditative mood. In front of the columns on each side, there are allegorical figures one representing his serious, the other his comic plays.
Nor did she herself, although to Ellinor she so affected, ascribe this cloudiness and caprice of mood merely to the result of a solitary and meditative life; she attributed them to the influence of an early grief, perhaps linked with the affections, and did not doubt but that one day or another she should learn its secret.
They, at least, were not preoccupied all day long, and, if they woke in the night, with the fear of death. It was part of their precocious worldliness to recognise, to feel a little afraid of their new companion's intellectual power. Those obviously meditative souls, which seem "not to sleep o' nights," seldom fail to put others on their guard.

"It's awfully kind of you, Lady Mickleham," he said. "I am a kind old thing," said Dolly, all over dimples. "I can easily get to know them." "Oh, you really are awfully kind, Lady Mickleham." Dolly smiled upon him, waved her hand to me, and drove off, crying "Do try to make Mr. Carter understand!" We were left along. George wore a meditative smile.
