I see, I measure the world as it is, which the vision will create anew. You are not listening to one who raves aloof from the lives of his fellows." Mordecai paused, and Deronda, feeling that the pause was expectant, said, "Do me the justice to believe that I was not inclined to call your words raving. I listen that I may know, without prejudgment.
As the snow blattered in his face, he muttered, "How it raves and drifts! On-ding o' snaw, ay, that's the word, on-ding " He was now at his own door, "Castle Street, No. 39." He opened the door and went straight to his den; that wondrous workshop, where in one year, 1823, when he was fifty-two, he wrote 'Peveril of the Peak, 'Quentin Durward, and 'St. Ronan's Well, besides much else.
Erskine has wept in secret over her husband's unregenerate heart and unspiritual ministry. But now a terrible sickness lays her low. Her brain is fevered; she raves in her delirium; her words are wild and passionate. Yet they are words that smite her husband's conscience and pierce his very soul.
Then comes a Lawyer, an honest lawyer too, a real wonder under the sun, as straight as a shingle in all his dealins. He's so honest he cant bear to hear tell of other lawyers, he writes agin 'em, raves agin 'em, votes agin 'em, they are all rogues but him. He's jist the man to take a case in hand, cause HE will see justice done.

Her beauty, her grace and distinction of manner are so great that all Richmond raves about her. She is modest and would remain in retirement, but for the sake of her own peace and Miss Grayson's she has been compelled to enter our social life here." "And the Secretary?" said Prescott. He was now able to assume an air of indifference.
If you see a visionary of this class going along the street, you can tell as well what he is thinking of and will say next as the man that fancies himself a teapot or the Czar of Muscovy. The one is as inaccessible to reason as the other: if the one raves, the other dotes!
Finally in 1782, when Deane had become thoroughly demoralized by his hard fate, Franklin spoke of his fall not without a note of sympathy: "He resides at Ghent, is distressed both in mind and circumstances, raves and writes abundance, and I imagine it will end in his going over to join his friend Arnold in England.
I have had to appoint him times and seasons, or there would be no work done. He sits here and raves about young Mrs. Delaray you know he is painting her portrait, for the famous series? and draws her profile on the backs of my letters. He recites his speeches to me; he asks my advice as to his fights with his tenants or his miners. In short, I'm adopted I'm almost the real thing."
They hesitated, but for one moment in speechless surprise, then rushed forward. "Alfgar!" cried the Prince. "My son!" cried Father Cuthbert, "whence hast thou come? dost thou yet live?" "Father; Prince; I live to warn you the Danes, the Danes!" and he sank fainting into the arms of Herstan. "Surely he raves," said they all. The porter here ventured to speak.
