His retiring habits had given place to a broad sociality, his diffidence to a generous self-reliance, and it seemed to him that he could do and dare almost anything. From early morning till late at night he worked to get his log home ready, while his wife and little ones remained in the solitary cabin by the riverside.
King George, in the fulness of his heart at this complete restoration of friendship, gave a great feast of kumaras and fish, to which we added some tobacco; and the whole of the party seated themselves by each other with the utmost sociality a convincing proof that animosity is not long an inmate of their breasts.
As a matter of fact, Emilius was led through pity up to humanity, or sociality in an imperfect signification, and there he was left without a further guide to define the marks of truly social conduct. This imperfection was a necessity, inseparable from Rousseau's tenacity in keeping society in the background of the picture of life which he opened to his pupil.
There was yet a twinkling light occasionally seen to glide along by the stream, which conducted home one or two of the small parties, who, after the abstinence and religious duties of the day, had partaken of a social supper the only meal at which the rigid Presbyterians made some advance to sociality on the Sabbath.
On his return to the cabin, the sadness of his countenance was observed by the company; they laughed heartily and assured him that his reluctance to join them in what they termed sociality, arose from the prejudices of education: that he must endeavour to banish all his fears of futurity, and mind present enjoyment.
"We can sit in the dark for once, said Hugh, "and try to make an uncommon display of what Dr. Quackenboss calls 'sociality!

We'll go right off into the woods and get some pine knots, Hugh come!
But there are men alas! few and far between who possess the rare art of giving good dinners good in the sense of sociality as well as in that of cookery. Mark Frettlby was one of these rare individuals he had an innate genius for getting pleasant people together people, who, so to speak, dovetailed into one another.
There is a certain kind-hearted sociality of temper that you see sometimes among country gentlemen, especially not of the highest rank, who knowing, and looked up to by, every one immediately around them, acquire the habit of accosting all they meet a habit as painful for them to break, as it was painful for poor Rousseau to be asked 'how he did' by an applewoman.
But it was for the sake of sociality; never either for the flask or the venison. That must end is ended. The evening sky of life does not reflect those brilliant flashes of light that shot across its morning and noon. Yet I thank God it is neither gloomy nor disconsolately lowering; a sober twilight that is all.
"So we pass a jolly evening, and bear in mind that Sociality is the secret of the success of Punch." On another occasion there is the paper's "Silver Wedding." A watch and chain with eleven links the mystic number of the Punch staff is handed over to Mark Lemon. In the morning he has received a letter with a hundred guineas.
