She is only seventeen, and the world lies before her, and never a soul in it to care how it goes with her. To you I give her.
Eva arranged the flowers brought by the gardener as gracefully as possible, and then asked Sister Perpetua to go to walk with her, telling her father and sister that she wished to be out of doors with the nun for a short time.

He is at present engaged in a History of the Commonwealth of England. Esto perpetua! In size Mr. Godwin is below the common stature, nor is his deportment graceful or animated.
