Lady Knollys, starting up, raised her head, so as to see over Mr. Sleigh's shoulder, and biting her pale lip, she cleared her voice and demanded 'Doctor Bryerly, pray, sir, is the reading concluded? 'Concluded? Quite. Yes, nothing more, he answered with a nod, and continued his talk with Mr. Danvers and Abel Grimston.
At last he leaned forward, and, laying hold of the rail of the incurved dashboard, he climbed laboriously out on to the setting of the sleigh's tongue. The flying end of one of the reins was waving annoyingly beyond his reach. He ventured out further, still holding to the dashboard, which swayed and bent under the unaccustomed weight.
Yes, bring the shawl; you'll need it t' keep the snow off your face," he called, authoritatively. "'Tain't snowin', is it?" she asked as she shut the door and came to the sleigh's side. "Clear as a bell," he said as he helped her in. "Then where'll the snow come from?" "From Marc's heels." "Goodness sakes! you don't expect me t' ride after that wild-headed critter, do you?"
These bells are worn round the horse's neck and on the harness, to give warning of the sleigh's approach, which otherwise would not be heard over the smooth road.

Turner always stayed with us, and we promised to do the honors of the town to any gentleman he might send to supply his place." "Of course we did; and mother is probably freezing her blessed nose off watching for us; so don't disappoint her, Bopp. It's all settled, the sleigh's at the door, and here's your coat; so, come on!"
Leon continued: "I cannot rid myself of the impression that somewhere I have met you before." "Indeed," said Ada, "when and where?" But his reply was prevented by the sleigh's stopping at Mrs. Harcourt's door. As St. Leon bade Ada good night he whispered, "I shall see you again."
"Thought-runes shalt thou deal with If thou wilt be of all men Fairest-souled wight, and wisest, These areded These first cut These first took to heart high Hropt.
