You have had too great a shock to be able to reason sanely just yet." "I think he will always make me creep a little," said Robin, "but I will say anything you think I ought to say."

Tell me, shall I come to you? I can offer you a home even better than I had hoped a year ago. I am offered a lectureship here with an ample salary, or an assistantship on equal terms, by Trent.
After each visit paid by the pearl-traders, all the men in the village had become excessively tipsy; and on the first two occasions they, fearing that they might be ill-treated, had run off and hidden themselves, though they did not escape punishment.

Every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
