"Be at rest," replied the prince, seriously.
And you have a length of stained glass bearing the figure of the Tyrian sphinx, crucified, and surrounded by coiled asps." "Yes, it is true," said Olivia, "we have all these things." "Why, the trash must be quite expensive," observed Mrs. Hastings. "I don't care much for so many colours myself, perhaps because I always wear black; though I did wear light colours a good deal when I was a girl."

Well, my ships came back empty, burnt, and shattered. May the fire of heaven burn him!" concluded the raging banker. "But if Hiram has for thee a profitable business?" inquired the guest, stolidly.
We drove for many miles through woods of the American oak, little more than brushwood, but gorgeous in all shades of colouring, from the scarlet of the geranium to deep crimson and Tyrian purple.
