"But I cannot stand against Egerton." "Assuredly not, you may stand with him." "How?" "Dick Avenel will never suffer Egerton to come in; and though he cannot, perhaps, carry two of his own politics, he can split his votes upon you." Randal's eyes flashed.

That's how you look, sir as a man should look and feel on his wedding day. Well, she's worth it, Dick worth the best you can give." "Worth far better than I can give, grandfather," Richard responded, the glow in his smooth cheek deepening. "Well, I don't mean to overrate you," said the old man, smiling, "but you seem to me pretty well worth while any girl's taking.

Among these idiosyncrasies might be noted a very inadequate understanding of the part played by Rome in the work of civilization, a singular lack of appreciation of the political and philosophical achievements of Greece under Athenian leadership, a strong hostility to the Catholic Church, a curious disposition to overrate semi-barbarous, or abortive civilizations, such as those of the old Asiatic and native American communities, at the expense of Europe, and, above all, an undiscriminating admiration for everything, great or small, that has ever worn the garb of Islam or been associated with the career of the Saracens.
