To an old campaigner, their appearance in print must seem like a faded photograph, in the sight of one who has seen the living original.

Murray laid her head on her son's bosom and sobbed aloud. Dr. Howell and Mr. Manning went with Edna aboard the steamer, and both laughed heartily at her efforts to disengage herself from a pertinacious young book-vender, who, with his arms full of copies of her own book, stopped her on deck, and volubly extolled its merits, insisting that she should buy one to while away the tedium of the voyage.
