In Martha Wallingford's character there was an element partaking of the nature of whalebone, yielding, but practically unbreakable, and sometimes wholly unyielding.
Then I was presented to Sir Morell Strachey, Sir Herbert Tate, and Forbes Thompson, and then to the Canadian parson, the Rev. George Stairs. I had paid no attention to the name when Crondall had mentioned it in the other room. Now, as he named the parson again, I looked into the man's face, and "Mordan? Why, not Dick Mordan, of Tarn Regis?" said the parson. "By gad! George Stairs!
Mordan, whom Gregory thought both a nice and a pretty lady, leapt out of the milk-cart and ran up the steps of the Slowcoach, and mother and daughter hugged each other for quite two minutes, while Gregory looked at young Daniel Wilson, and Patricia began to cry afresh this time because she was happy. Mrs. Mordan was happy too.
They produced an impression of light and brilliancy, of vigour, intelligence, and charm.

I bring you an introduction from John Crondall."

They are neither of them really qualified for the post, but Sylvia is far less so than Marjory.
I had written for publication; I had enthusiasm; and there was my Cambridge friend's letter.

Emma was serving the first course and she was making her little speech concerning the unfortunate indisposition of her guest of honour when she was suddenly interrupted by that guest herself, an image of sulky wrath, clad in the blue and black costume pertaining to South Mordan, Illinois. "I am perfectly well. She is telling an awful whopper," proclaimed this amazing girl.
"Our gardener," said Hester, "but he drives the caravan for us;" and gradually she told the whole Slowcoach story. By this time they were at Ashton, and, after giving instructions about looking after the ponies, sending for a veterinary surgeon and so forth, Mrs. Mordan showed Kink the way to Aunt May's house, which they reached just before two.
