"Take care what you say of the mother, for here is the daughter coming, and she has, indeed, a great deal of real sensibility." Helena and her young companions now came into the room, bringing with them the sulphurs at which they had been looking. "Mamma," said little Charles Percival, "we have brought the sulphurs to you, because there are some of them that I don't know."
"Wonderful!" said Lady Anne; "and what is not quite so wonderful, there are some of them that I don't know." The children spread the sulphurs upon a little table, and all the company gathered round it. "Here are all the nine muses for you," said the least of the boys, who had taken his seat by Clarence Hervey at dinner; "here are all the muses for you, Mr. Hervey: which do you like best?
Here the conversation was interrupted by the entrance of one of Lady Anne's little boys, who came running eagerly up to his mother, to ask whether he might have "the sulphurs to show to Helena Delacour. I want to show her Vertumnus and Pomona, mamma," said he. "Were not the cherries that the old gardener sent very good?"
The philosopher's stone, or tincture, or powder, as it is variously called, is no necromantic talisman, but consists simply of those particles which gold contains within itself for its reproduction; for gold, like other things, has its seed within itself, though bound up with inconceivable firmness, from the vigour of innate fixed salts and sulphurs.
Jordan and Capper Springs, in the neighborhood of Winchester, lie thirty or forty miles to the south; and beneath those are imbedded the White, Black, Yellow, and we know not how many other colors in the general spectrum of Sulphurs.

But the 'finners, which are still fairly common, include the 'sulphurs, among which there have been specimens far exceeding any authentic sperms or 'rights. Even the humpbacks and common finbacks, both well known in Canadian waters, occasionally surpass the average size of sperms and 'rights. But the sulphur is probably the only kind of whale which sometimes grows to a hundred feet and more.
"Sure they have th' right," admitted Flannery pleasantly, but pushing the package slowly toward Mr. Warold; "sure they have! But not in th' ixpriss office av th' Interurban. 'T is agin th' rules t' spell any feenixes with an 'o' in th' ixpriss office, or any sulphurs with a 'ph, or any armours with a 'u. Thim spellin's and two hunderd an' ninety-sivin more are agin th' rules, and can't go.
