There would be no exclusive story now, no scoop. The events of the next few hours were for every man to read. He shrugged his shoulders as, partially dressed, he carried his shaving materials into the better light of his bedroom. With his face partially lathered he heard a knock at the door, and sang out a not uncheerful "Come in."

Mr. Ruskin has amused himself with a fanciful contrast between the boyhood of Giorgione at Venice, and of Turner in Covent Garden. There is no reason to believe that any disadvantage accrued to Turner from his somewhat uncheerful birthplace.
Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, we left our ancient tower, and threw a parting glance and a rather sad one over the misty Val d' Arno. This summer will look like a happy one in our children's retrospect, and also, no doubt, in the years that remain to ourselves; and, in truth, I have found it a peaceful and not uncheerful one.
"Precisely there is poor, dear, innocent, rather foolish, little Connie. It occurred to me we might be coming to that." In his turn Mr. Quayle fell silent, and contemplated the reeling landscape.

In planning their future she looked into her own heart instead of into theirs.
A stout Briton delivered this sentence, and gave in addition a sermon on meddling, short, emphatic, and not uncheerful apparently, if estimated by the hearty laugh that closed it; though a lady remarked, "Oh, dear me! You are very sweeping." "By George! ma'am," cried the Briton, holding out his newspaper, "here's a leader on the identical subject, with all my views in it!
Within, the house though not uncheerful, thanks to a scrupulous cleanliness, warm colourings, and the peculiar mellowness which comes to rooms and furnishings that, through prolonged association, have grown in a great mutual friendliness of aspect was very still, with the strange, almost eerie, stillness which seems to listen and to wait.
