The uncle promised to give him 50l. a year to enable him to finish his legal education. He took lodgings on the strength of this promise, and resolved to struggle on, though still giving an occasional thought to Washington's army. Isolation and want of money naturally turn the thoughts of an energetic young man to marriage. James Stephen resolved once more to appeal to Anne Stent.
We do not go dancing into it. We must fashion our lives on more godly things," said Rachel rebukingly. Primrose made no reply, but drew on her glove. "Then I shall not see Faith," she said rather disappointedly as she rose. "Where is Faith?" Aunt Lois looked up. "She idled so much yesterday that she did not finish her stent, and she has a larger share this afternoon."
"And now, before you go, what the devil did you shoot in the woods?" "Miss Cardross got a gobbler about the biggest bird I ever saw. Eudo Stent skinned it and Mr. Cardross is going to have it set up in New York. It's a wonderful " "Didn't you shoot anything?" "Oh, I assassinated a few harmless birds," said Hamil absently; and walked out into the corridor.
I had got my work all done up as slick as a pin: the floor glittered like yellow glass, the stove shone a agreable black, a good dinner was a cookin'. And I sot there, happy, as I say; for though, when I had done so much work that mornin', if that vest had belonged to anybody else, it would have looked like a stent to me, I didn't mind it, for it was for my Josiah: and love makes labor light, light as day.

Noo, ye're ane o' the Lord's bairns " "Eh! I dinna ken," cried Annie, half-terrified at such an assurance from Thomas, and the responsibility devolved on her thereby, and yet delighted beyond expression.
I found myself alone, and saw the people on the other side of the pit running off, Stent among them. I looked again at the cylinder, and ungovernable terror gripped me. I stood petrified and staring. A big greyish rounded bulk, the size, perhaps, of a bear, was rising slowly and painfully out of the cylinder. As it bulged up and caught the light, it glistened like wet leather.
But that’s history; and its makers are already officially damned. But now concerning two others of the fed-up dozen on board the mule transport Harry Stent and Jim Brown.

Rebecca Mary rose slowly to her reluctant little feet, and with the heavy sheet across her arm went to meet the sharp voice. At last the Time had come. "Well?" Aunt Olivia was waiting for her answer. Rebecca Mary groaned. Aunt Olivia would not think it was "well."
Stent, working more slowly and methodically on his squared map paper, the smoke drifting fragrantly from his brier pipe, nodded in silence, glancing down now and then at the barometer and compass between them. "Mentioning big game," he remarked presently, "I started to tell you about the ibex, Jim. I’ve hunted a little in the Eastern Alps." "I didn’t know it," said Brown, interested. "Yes.
"Maybe he'll say dat, an' den ergin maybe he won't. Maybe he'll punish de ole nigger ter de full stent uv his 'greshuns; an' den, ergin, maybe he'll let him off light; but dat ain't neder hyear nur dar.
