"The only intimate friend he had in the world," answered Dr. Rowell; "none of us could ever understand it. And as for the girl, Jethro Bass worships her." "If nursing could cure him, I'd trust her to do it. She's a natural-born nurse."
"He says she is there as a governess in a family." "By the brow of St. Patrick!" thought Mrs. O'Keefe, "if that Curtis isn't a natural-born liar. I'm sure she'd come back if you'd send for her, sir," said she, aloud. "Do you think so?" asked Linden, eagerly. "I'm sure of it." "But I don't know where to send."

Frank Cowperwood, even at ten, was a natural-born leader.
William Johnson was commander, and associated with him was Phinehas Lyman, a natural-born soldier. They marched to the southern shore of what the French called the Lake of the Holy Sacrament, but which Johnson thought would better be named Lake George.
Another quiet applicant was a lady, whose natural-born gentility poverty might obscure but could not conceal.
His spirit was like some galvanic current, and he directed them with a master mind.
