Flaxman's few minutes, I imagined, might extend into a good many, if she got to talking. "I want to show the presents Mr. Bovver has sent us from New York one for each of us." She lifted the cover from a box on her stand, and handed me the most superbly-bound book I had ever seen. "Yours is the prettiest," she said, admiringly, as I turned over the leaves, looking at the engravings.
But I rather apprehend that they partake, more or less, of the qualities of a book just come out of the hands of the binder, which it is difficult to open.

Father Mazzolin, attired in a surplice ornamented with the insignia of his order, stood beside the bed, holding in one hand a superbly-bound volume in the other, a silver cup containing oil. After a moment's pause he opened the book, and hurriedly read in a low, muttering tone, a Latin service of several pages.
