To make love to a young lady with a ghost sitting on the railing nearby, and that ghost the apparition of a much-dreaded uncle, the very idea of whom in such a position and at such a time made me tremble, was a difficult, if not an impossible, thing to do; but I forbore to speak, although I may have looked my mind.
16th. A warm morning and hazy, but the much-dreaded wind got up at noon. The departure of all the ghafalahs is now fixed for the 25th, and ours for 23rd. The Rais of Ghadames has sent word for all his subjects to return together; this I'm sure they will not do. It is extremely difficult to make up a large caravan. The Soudan caravan is now departing in small detachments of half a dozen people.

Irene was the first person to whom Agnes had given all her strong powers of affection. For Irene she would have done anything. She did not care nearly so much for Rosamund, although she admired her, and Rosamund herself was drawn to the child and attracted by her. Agnes had been perfectly happy while at The Follies; never a fear had she of the much-dreaded Irene.
Soon a dark mass loomed up under the trees; the advance guard, composed of ten men. "Don't go in front of the vent-hole!" repeated Long-legs at intervals. And the first arrivals pointed out the much-dreaded vent-hole to those who came after. At last the main body of the troop arrived, in all two hundred men, each carrying two hundred cartridges.
You listen to him, and try and do as he does, and you'll grow up just such another, and be a pride and blessing to all about you." But we both rejoiced that at any rate our fears were unfounded in reference to the much-dreaded Mr. Gray.
It would be a labor of love on their part, as well as of duty. Its success would be an obstacle in the way of the much-dreaded "negro equality." Reasons for Trying an Experiment. Activity among Lessees. Opinions of the Residents. Rebel Hopes in 1863. Removal of Negroes to West Louisiana. Visiting Natchez. The City and its Business. "The Rejected Addresses."
Of the enormous and much-dreaded globe there remained nothing but these fragments carried in all directions, now become asteroids in their turn, some flaming like a sword, some surrounded by a whitish cloud, and others leaving behind them trains of brilliant cosmical dust.
His breathing was heavy, and the silence around him was intense. At last the much-dreaded moment came, and found him dull and apathetic. The door opened and a ray of light from a candle entered the room, which was now almost dark. A foot-man and a housemaid thrust in their heads cautiously and peered into the broad gloom, holding the candle high before them.
I obeyed with a palpitating heart, and when I had gained the landing-place up stairs, Mr Masterton took my hand and led me into the presence of my long-sought-for and much-dreaded parent. I may as well describe him and the whole tableau.
