The king hoped that the soldiers who were stationed as a guard within the inclosures of the palace would be able to protect them from violence.
She combed the three into one sleek sheet that covered her like a veil, drawn close over head and shoulders. Her face showed smooth and saint-like between the cloistral bands. Majendie thought he had never seen anything more beautiful than that face and hair, with their harmonies of dull gold and sombre white.

It seemed, therefore, not unlikely that such a person should succeed with a lady of so saint-like a disposition, and whose inclinations were no otherwise engaged than to the marriage state in general; but why the doctor, who certainly had no great friendship for his brother, should for his sake think of making so ill a return to the hospitality of Allworthy, is a matter not so easy to be accounted for.

All our cellar of fine old wines was sent round as presents to hospitals, except a little that we keep for sickness." "Well, really!" said Lillie, in a dry, cool tone, "I suppose it was very good of you, perfectly saint-like and all that; but it does seem a great pity. Why couldn't these people take care of themselves?
Besides, he had a genuine appetite for the things of earth, such as many another delicate thing a damask rose-bush, for example must be convicted of too; and often, when some one has asked him 'what he could have in common with so-and-so, I have heard him answer: 'Tobacco and beer.

For this he was and has since been severely blamed, and his behaviour was perhaps a little 'perfervid.
