It's funny why the very plain things cost such a lot. I like the black hat with your white hair. Yes, I consent to take you out; I don't mind owning you for my missus. Children, come and admire Auntie Jan." Jan dutifully delivered a card at the vicarage, and the nursery party left her to walk up the Manor drive alone.
At present thou art like a worm that is employed in weaving its cocoon round itself and thereby depriving itself of all means of escape. Do thou with the raft of Yoga, cross the ocean of the world whose waters are constituted by thy five senses, having Desire and Wrath and Death for its fierce monsters, and owning birth for its vortex.

And I think he cares for pictures because the first thing he did when he came into the hall was to stare at the old prints on the wall.

My husband came to me at night, and seeing my head bound up, asked me the reason. I told him I had the headache, which I hoped would have satisfied him; but he took a candle, and saw my cheek was hurt. "How comes this wound?" he said.

The last hour before we hit the place, I took a drink of water every three minutes, I was so nervous. And when we come into the town I was already standing out onto the platform.

So far as it would help me be a man, help me to build my own character, help me build manhood and character in my country yes, I'd like it for that. But if money were the price of Helena herself, I'd not ask for it.
