Should I try to dance with her I should quickly find that crabbed middle-age and youth cannot step in time. My place is with Mrs. Jones or, better, at home and in bed. Apart, however, from the dubious delight of dancing, all is not gold that glitters socially.
Freddy's face did not lose its flustered look nor did the company regain its ease, until a further diversion was created by the appearance of Miss Levering with an alert, humorous-looking man of middle-age in her train. 'Mr. Greatorex was passing just in time to help me out of my hansom, was her greeting to Mrs. Freddy.
Grandma is still there, always contented and always happy, for the old-fashioned leather-covered Bible, which lies in its accustomed place by her side, has been her guide through the period of youth and middle-age, and now, in extreme old age, its promises prove, "as an anchor to her soul, both sure and steadfast."
He was in his robust middle-age, which comes so much later to men than to women, she was well on in her thirties a comely, sensible, well-bred young lady, and a most excellent coadjutor to a squire new to the business. An eminently wise selection, said his brother squires, when the engagement was announced. The wedding was a great family function and county event.

Neither did his sister, in the pathetic innocence and purity of her middle-age maidenhood.
He rode back to his camp and within the hour there approached the walls under a flag of truce an imposing Jew of middle-age, with a superb beard and a veritable mantle of rich black hair escaping from his turban and falling heavy with life and strength upon a pair of great shoulders. He was simply dressed, but his stately carriage and splendid presence made a kingly garment out of his white gown.
My mistake has been to believe that life can begin over again. It can't. One uses it up merely by waiting. I've been an incurable girl till now; and now, I've crashed from girlhood to middle-age in a week!
Everything in him that egotistically craved for rest, stability, a comfortably organized middle-age, all the home-building instincts of the man who has sufficiently wooed and wandered, combined to throw a charm about the figure of the child who might who should have been his.
So don't you be silly, and don't think the worse of me for speaking." Sabina entertained the opinions concerning middle-age common to youth, but she was fond of Sally and set her heart at rest.
