But not among the broad beavers of the Glasgow citizens, or the yet broader brimmed Lowland bonnets of the peasants of Lanarkshire, could I see anything resembling the decent periwig, starched ruffles, or the uniform suit of light-brown garments appertaining to the head-clerk of the establishment of Osbaldistone and Tresham.
"We are physicians of the soul," said he, in a mild voice, "and we know what remedies suit their maladies." "Much must be forgiven to the wretched," said Esther. She fancied she had been wrong; she slipped off the bed, threw herself at the man's feet, kissed his gown with deep humility, and looked up at him with eyes full of tears. "I thought I had done so much!" she said. "Listen, my child.
It was easy for Mary to get away, as most of her housework and a good deal of the cooking was done for her by the portage men who happened to be in residence at Roaring Water Portage. When Mr. Selincourt hired men and boats at Temiskaming, he hired them for the whole summer, and planned their work to suit his own convenience.
"I should love it," she declared enthusiastically. "London is getting so hot, and every one is so excited." "I shall order the touring car at three o'clock," Dominey told her.

Could I ever have thought it! Aren't you perfectly miserable? Dear, dear me!" "Ma is miserable because red does not suit her," said Miss Marianne. "I can wear it quite well, so I don't need to be." "Marianne!" said her sister, laughing. "Well, you know, Theresa, you don't care two pins whether the Prince wins or loses. Who does?" "The Prince and my Lord Tullibardine," said Miss Newton.

Fortune had always played into his hands, he said, and I had no little difficulty in convincing him that matters had passed from his hands into mine. In this I believe I was never entirely successful.
The parliamentary agent was well accustomed to deal with all kinds and shades of scruples. He was most at home with men who had none; but still he could allow for human weakness; and he perfectly understood Mr Bradshaw. "I have a notion I know of a man who will just suit your purpose. Plenty of money does not know what to do with it, in fact tired of yachting, travelling; wants something new.
"If you have a very loose pair they will suit me best; I have not the foot of a young girl . . . . I am not concealing anything, I am not concealing anything . . . . What do you think I should hide from you?
"Room, room, there!" cried a seneschal. "The emperor!" "Dearest Leonide," whispered a voice in her ear, "I resolved to see you again to-night, in spite of your prohibition to renew my suit."
