"He left as Heir a poor young Boy, at this time only two years old.
Appleton reprinted his first volume without compensation, asking him to furnish materials for a prefatory memoir, of which request he took no notice; afterwards, when the second volume was published, they sent him something, I believe fifty pounds.
And once, when she spent a night away at Ottery St. Mary with a friend, a visit which was specially prefatory to marriage, and made in reference to bridesmaids' dresses, Arabella had had, so at least Camilla was made to believe, a secret meeting with Mr. Gibson in some of the lanes which lead down from Heavitree to the Topsham road.

Cliff absolutely detested the taste of quassia. Mrs. Cliff was not annoyed. She hoped that her visitor would soon get through with these prefatory remarks and begin to take the stand, whatever it might be, which she had come there that morning to take. "There has been sickness here since you last left," said Miss Shott, "and it has been where it was least to be expected, too.
