I am grateful to this day for the lesson I had from the sense of which I have spoken that of mingled awe and tenderness in the aspect of the old hall as I entered it for the first time after fifteen years, having left it a mere child. "I was cordially received by my old uncle and my new aunt. But the moment Kate Thornbury entered I lost my heart, and have never found it again to this day.
Elliot sat side by side under a palm tree, holding fans, handkerchiefs, and brooches deposited in their laps by flushed maidens. Occasionally they exchanged comments. "Miss Warrington does look happy," said Mrs. Elliot; they both smiled; they both sighed. "He has a great deal of character," said Mrs. Thornbury, alluding to Arthur. "And character is what one wants," said Mrs. Elliot.
Thornbury, Walters, Hackett, Baddlesmere, you are with Sir Oliver on the forecastle. Simon, you bide with your lord's banner; but ten men must go forward."

But when one scandal after another reached his ears, he changed his tone, and suggested dropping personal details, and giving a "Life of his Art," in the intended third and final volume of "Modern Painters."
