There, how I am chattering on! and perhaps I ought not to have said all that; but I thought you would wonder at our want of neighbourliness, and of course we cannot expect you to understand Giles's odd temper: it is a great pity he has got this idea in his head. 'What idea, Miss Darrell? 'Dear, dear, how sharp you are! how you take me up!
I have often wondered what had become of the poor lady." "Have you?" cried Esther, delighted. "Cousin Charlotte, I wish you would get to know her. I am sure she is very lonely." "Perhaps she prefers loneliness, dear. I should be only too pleased to show friendly neighbourliness to the poor lady if she would like it, but sometimes it is greater kindness not to intrude.
Many days he thus takes them to Hyde Park, to Kensington Gardens out of the neighbourliness, you understand. Madame is much obliged to him she regards him as a kind young man eh? And then, all of a sudden, we do not see Federman any more no. Nor hear of him until monsieur asks for news of him in the papers. I see that news last night Madame sees it!
'Tis a strong bond of neighbourliness in a small place like this, and, as one grows old, changes come heavier 'the clouds return again after the rain. Thank you, my dear," as Ethel fetched his slippers, and placed a stool for his feet, feeling somewhat ashamed of thinking it an achievement to have, unbidden, performed a small act of attention which would have come naturally from any of the others.

At such a time everything is forgotten and forgiven, and such grudging, peaceful neighbourliness as even I have shown seems appreciated and valued. It was a heartrending business reviving our sorrow, and it plunged me for a time into my old dry bitterness of spirit.
There were still questions outstanding which in earlier days would have given opportunity for tail-twisting or eagle-plucking politicians to make trouble, but in the new era of neighbourliness which now dawned they were settled amicably or allowed to fall into blessed oblivion. A remarkable change in the spirit in which the two peoples regarded each other came about in this period.
We would, of whatever extraction, have lived in natural neighbourliness with England, but she chose to trap and harass us, and it will take long generations of goodwill to wipe out some memories. Again, and yet again, let there be no confusion of thought as to this final peace; it will never come while there is any formal link of dependence.
The community had again stepped aside and let Old Toombs have his way: they had let him alone, with all his great barns, his wide acres and his wonderful hedge. He probably never even knew what had threatened him that night, nor how the forces of religion, of social order, of neighbourliness in the community which he despised had, after all, held him safe.
