At one side of its triangle is the birthplace and dwelling of Jean Ingelow, and at the point nearest the church is the statue of Herbert Ingram, the less famous but more locally recognized Bostonian, who founded the Illustrated London News with the money he made by the invention and sale of Old Parr's Pills.
Should anything give way, and you tumble out and break your neck, the democracy would go into mourning, said Littlejohn, who had kept very quiet up to this time. "'Not a bit of it! I answered, 'our democracy is like Parr's Life Pills, enervating and elasticating.
How could he attempt to refute it, with honesty? He remembered Mr. Parr's criticism of Alison. There had been hardness in that, though it were the cry of a lacerated paternal affection. In that, too, a lack of comprehension, an impotent anger at a visitation not understood, a punishment apparently unmerited. Hodder had pitied him then he still pitied him.
Gifts will not help you, and charities are of no avail." At the reference to Kate Marcy Eldon Parr's hand dropped to his side. He seemed to have physical difficulty in speaking. "Ah, you have found that woman!" He leaned an elbow on the desk, he seemed suddenly to have become weary, spent, old.
It's somewhat to keep them out of the dance-halls and saloons maybe." "It's not enough," the rector asserted. "You've had a great deal of experience with them.

"You are quite right, my dear," he replied gracefully, "and as I see that dinner is served, I will take this opportunity to dismount from my hobby for a little refreshment." "You must let me take this book with me when I go," Cardington begged, rising from its perusal with evident reluctance. "It must lie on Mrs. Parr's table for a month first," she replied.
Parr's manner a subtle note of patronage. Nor could Hodder's years of provincialism permit him to forget that this man with whom he was about to enter into personal relations was a capitalist of national importance. The neighbourhood they traversed was characteristic of our rapidly expanding American cities.
Parr's gesture implied that he cared not by what name the thing was called, but he still appeared strangely, astonishingly calm; Hodder, with all his faculties acute, apprehended that he was dangerously calm.
And after a few minutes of desultory conversation, the rector left. It was one of those moist nights of spring when the air is pungent with the odour of the softened earth, and the gentle breaths that stirred the curtains in Mr. Parr's big dining-room wafted, from the garden, the perfumes of a revived creation, delicious, hothouse smells.
