"There is one statement I will venture to advance; I am quite as fond of you as you are of each other!" "Much he knows about that!" said Verena, with a side-long smile at Olive Chancellor.

Crickledon, that he did not," said Herbert. He remarked with the sententiousness of enforced philosophy, that no wine was better than bad wine. Mrs. Crickledon spoke of a bottle left by her summer lodgers, who had indeed left two, calling the wine invalid's wine; and she and her husband had opened one on the anniversary of their marriage day in October.
Now, if it should turn out to be Ned, would you let him right the girl by marrying her? You wouldn't!" "The principle of examining your hypothesis before you proceed to decide by it, is probably unknown to you," Sir William observed, after bestowing a considerate smile on his brother, who muffled himself up from the chilling sententiousness, and drank.
The dull sententiousness of the dragoman and his mother's shrill, rash judgments were alike irritating to Iskender. They claimed to understand the foreigners perfectly; and in truth they knew enough of the foibles of the lords of gold to secure to themselves a livelihood.

Terrible child! she had set down this great lady as a great sham. "To live in the world and to be absolutely truthful is very difficult, is all but impossible," remarked Miss Burleigh with a mild sententiousness that sounded irrelevant, but came probably in the natural sequence of her unspoken thoughts.
And that is why I find them at the journey's end. But why did I bring them? For now they seem to be exactly what I would avoid they look like toil.
