He also made me read, and give him a verbal account of, many books which would not have interested me sufficiently to induce me to read them of myself: among other's Millar's Historical View of the English Government, a book of great merit for its time, and which he highly valued; Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History, McCrie's Life of John Knox, and even Sewell and Rutty's Histories of the Quakers.
Sewell had not so much of what he called his flying-charity fund by him, but he instantly resolved to advance the difference out of his own pocket. "It's to get me an outfit for horse-car conductor," said Lemuel. "I can have the place if I can get the outfit." "Horse-car conductor!" reverberated Sewell. "What in the world for?" "It's work I can do," answered Lemuel briefly, but not resentfully.
It was respite for Lemuel to have some one else accusing himself, and he did not refuse to enjoy it. He left the minister to wring all the bitterness he could for himself out of his final responsibility. The drowning man strangles his rescuer. Sewell looked up, and loosened his collar as if really stifling. "Well, well. We must find some way out of it.
There were such a pair as wholesale merchants use for weighing bulky commodities; and quite a bulky commodity was now to be weighed in them. "Daughter Betsey," said the mint-master, "get into one side of these scales." Miss Betsey or Mrs. Sewell, as we must now call her did as she was bid, like a dutiful child, without any question of the why and wherefore.

But he ought at least to have had the grace to remain dead to the poor creatures he had dishonored till he could repay the people he had defrauded." "Ah! I don't know about that," said Sewell. "No?
"Sibyl has gone to New York for a fortnight; I shall be quite alone in the house, and I shall be very glad of his company," she explained to the eyebrows, while ignoring them.

"I suppose I shall see him soon," said Sewell, "and I will give him your message."
You've let it fall! Hold my fan, please, and give me the opera-glasses." The speaker was Miss Sewell. She and an elderly lady were sitting side by side in the stalls, about halfway down St. James's Hall. The occasion was a popular concert, and, as Joachim was to play, every seat in the hall was rapidly filling up.

I've sometimes supposed that the very highest purpose of Christianity was mutual forgiveness forbearance with one another's errors." "That's all very well," said Mrs. Sewell.

It was, possibly, some half-conscious dread lest this morbid speck in his nature should gain upon the rest that made him so hungry for travel and change of scene after he left college. It explained many surprises, many apparent ficklenesses in his life.
