He has introduced something like English penny readings at Morton Hollow, said Prudentia, putting on her bonnet and turning towards Wych Hazel's guardian. 'What are penny readings? said Mr. Falkirk. 'They had their origin in England, I believe; somebody set them on foot for the benefice of the poorer classes, or work people; and Dane has imported them.
MY DEAR FRIEND: I can now with great truth apply your own motto to you, 'Nullum numen abest, si sit Prudentia'. You are sure of being, as early as your age will permit, a member of that House; which is the only road to figure and fortune in this country.
'Nullum numen abest, si sit prudentia, is unquestionably true, with regard to everything except poetry; and I am very sure that any man of common understanding may, by proper culture, care, attention, and labor, make himself whatever he pleases, except a good poet.
Where does she preach? 'You will find her out. Wait till you know her a little better. She will preach to you, I have no doubt. Prudentia, Mrs. Coles, is very different. She is really a charming woman. But my dear Miss Kennedy, we have been here a length of time that it will not do to talk about. We have had no mercy upon Mr. Falkirk, for we were determined to see you.
Maryland never goes anywhere but to visit his people Prim goes everywhere, but it is not where I want to go, for pleasure; and Dane I asked, and he wouldn't. 'He did not say he wouldn't, Prudentia, remarked her sister. 'He didn't say he would, returned Mrs. Coles, with a peculiar laugh; 'and I knew what that meant. O, I should have got there some time.

Benno came home after office hours, only to betake himself to his room, where he shaved and made himself as elegant-looking as possible for the social engagements of the evening.
There is a great deal of work to be done down at the Prudentia. If I were to recommend you to Herr Zittel it certainly would not be in vain. Herr Zittel is head of the clerical department. I also stand in with Herr Diruf, and he is general agent. I come in contact nearly every day with Inspector Jordan, and Herr Jordan is a man of exceptional culture.
All the while, Wych Hazel was watching for something else; and Prudentia, was she keeping the best for the last?

P.W. Walker was appointed manager pro tem., and at the end of the year, Mr. James Leigh, who had been manager of the Birmingham branch of the Worcester Bank, took the helm. May the bank under his guidance have, fortitudine et prudentia, a long career of prosperity and usefulness before it! I shall now have to go back again to the year 1836.
'I could get nothing else, said he, 'without rousing the people up to give me keys. But I know the way to Prim's dairy and I know which are the right pans to go to. Miss Prudentia always objected to that in me. 'But I cannot see anybody nor speak to anybody nor do anything till I have seen Mr. Falkirk, said Hazel, looking up at him with her tired eyes. 'Indeed I am not hungry.
