And then on my way down the steps, I turned around suddenly. "Doctor," I asked at a venture, "have you ever heard of a child named Lucien Wallace?" Clever as he was, his face changed and stiffened. He was on his guard again in a moment. "Lucien Wallace?" he repeated. "No, I think not. There are plenty of Wallaces around, but I don't know any Lucien." I was as certain as possible that he did.
Near the close of the year the firm of Worthington & McDermott was dissolved, and Mr. McDermott purchased of the Wallaces the old quarry at Berea originally opened by John Baldwin over forty years ago. He took into partnership his brother William and established the firm of J. McDermott & Co.
"What made you think there was any need for you to disturb yourself? What put it in your head to answer an advertisement at all?" "Because I didn't want to be a burden to ye, my dear, after all the money you've spent on me education!" "A little midget like you to speak of being a burden! No one would guess you were there if you weren't so upsetting! It's no use fifty Mrs Wallaces coming to see me.

Susan, who had stopped, without Emily, at the Wallaces' for tea, understood perfectly that the youngest Miss Saunders was delicately intimating that she expected a little more attention from her companion.
Let us march on ballot boxes until the Wallaces of our nation tremble away in silence. "Let us march on ballot boxes, until we send to our city councils, state legislatures, and the United States Congress men who will not fear to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God.
The Kendal green, though its date is more ancient, ought surely to be as dear to our feelings, as the variegated tartans of the north. The name of Robin Hood, if duly conjured with, should raise a spirit as soon as that of Rob Roy; and the patriots of England deserve no less their renown in our modern circles, than the Bruces and Wallaces of Caledonia.
I have been thinking ever since I met with him, of the William Tells and William Wallaces of history men who, in those times of trouble which unfix the foundations of society, step out from their obscurity to rule the destiny of nations."
