She led the way through an open French window, modernized a few years before, into the library, and thence to the hall. In the hall they passed my lady's pale-faced maid, who looked furtively under her white eyelashes at the two young men. They were going up-stairs, when Alicia turned and spoke to the girl.
The Chinese officials, for instance who suddenly became as anxious for Western comforts as they had hitherto detested them drove over modernized roads in carriages; he clung to his old-fashioned sedan chair.

The Nonne Preste's Tale, likewise, which Dryden modernized with admirable humor, was of the class of fabliaux, and was suggested by a little poem in forty lines, Dou Coc et Werpil, by Marie de France, a Norman poetess of the 13th century.

Marco Polo's description of Japan and Java has been reprinted in Old South Leaflets, Vol. II, No. 32. The interesting stories of the Northern discoveries and explorations have been told many times.
Presently, gloomy and a trifle dogged about it, he brought the spaceboat around to the modernized boatport of the yacht. He got into it, leaving the yacht in orbit. He headed down toward Darth. Now that he'd rested, he had work to do which could not be neglected. To carry out that work, he needed a crew able and willing to pass for pirates for a pirate's pay.
How truly Satanic his every feature and every move! How earnest his brief address, every word in the interest of Satan's blasting work. "Give heed, oh, ye co-workers, bound under oath to give a true report! Our cause has made advances, and our work calls for the ripest service we can give. The theatre modernized is fast winning the church. All honor, ye spirits who played your parts so well!
Twenty-eight such corrections for the thirty-one pages of "Hamlet" give us about eight hundred and fifty for the nine hundred pages of the whole volume, eight hundred and fifty instances in which the alleged forger, who wished to obtain for his supposed fabrication the consideration due to antiquity, modernized the text, though he obtained thereby only a change of form, and not a single new reading, in any sense of the term!
