"What you say is very just, Edward; at the same time there is an honest look about this lad, although he is a gipsy, that makes me put a sort of confidence in him. Admitting that he has been taught to do wrong, do you not think that when told the contrary he may be persuaded to do right?"
Finding myself precisely in this situation at present, I take the liberty of writing this private letter to your majesty, being persuaded that my motives will also be my apology for it. "In common with the people of this country, I retain a strong and cordial sense of the services rendered to them by the Marquis de Lafayette; and my friendship for him has been constant and sincere.
Villars, it is sufficient we know him for your friend;-and as for Lord Orville, he is a party concerned." "A party concerned!-you amaze me!" "Why, yes; for, as I found our consultation likely to redound to his advantage, I persuaded Sir John to send for him." "Send for him!-Good God!" "Yes; and Sir John agreed.
The old goose need not be turned out of her office by force, but persuaded out of it that would be an easy matter, if she were so humble and excellent a creature." Haec.

"First I went through the High School; then I stayed out of school a year, and studied Greek and German with my uncle, and music with my aunt, who plays uncommonly well. Then I persuaded them to let me go to the Normal School for two years, and learn to be a teacher." "A teacher!" said Emilia, with surprise. "Is it necessary that you should be a teacher?" "Very necessary," replied Hope.
"I told you before that you may come and marry her. Indeed I can't help myself. Of course you may go on as you would with some other girl; only I wish it were some other girl. You can go and stay with Montagu Blake, if you please. It is nothing to me. Everybody knows it now." Then he did say good-bye, though he could not be persuaded to shake hands with John Gordon.
Anselm was with difficulty persuaded to accept the post, but from that hour posed as the firm champion of the rights of the Church, and the opponent and denouncer of the king's exactions and the general immorality of the times. He refused to receive his pall at the hands of the king, but eventually agreed to take it himself from the high altar of the cathedral at Canterbury.
