"And now about glass," said Robinson, as soon as the three partners had retired from the outside flags into the interior of the house. "It must be plate, of course," said Jones. Plate! He might as well have said when wanting a house, that it must have walls. "I rather think so," said Robinson; "and a good deal of it." "I don't mind a good-sized common window," said Brown.
As to the early religious pictures of the Italian school, I cared nothing either for subject or treatment, and would have given a cartload of them for a drawing by Hunt of a bird's nest. Wanting an ear for music and an eye for pictorial merit, I believed, or affected to believe, that the raptures of people who possessed the ear and eye were a sham.
When he had become so used to do without his foot as to leave off wanting or wishing for it, he would perhaps make a joke of the feeling, instead of being disappointed. At least she knew that some persons did so who had lost a limb. This did not comfort Hugh much, for every prospect had suddenly become darkened.
A great jug of wine was not wanting, and the whole seemed to me a very characteristic scene. We were early awakened at Magadino, at the head of Lago Maggiore, and after swallowing a hasty breakfast, went on board the steamboat "San Carlo," for Sesto Calende.

What is a false apprehension of Christ wanting in, which a true apprehension has? The word apprehension is so vague; it conveys no definite idea to me, yet justification depends on it.
No decision was arrived at, and the ship drove onwards towards the coast of Finisterre. There were harbours and shelter there in abundance; but judgment and good pilotage was required to take advantage of them, and these qualities were wanting on board the "Atalante." The English officers stood grouped together, affording a strong contrast to their French captors.
Of stores and provisions there was no lack, these having been obtained in very large quantities from the convoys of supplies and the castles that had been captured. Money, too, was not wanting, considerable amounts having fallen into their hands, and the peasantry through all the country round were glad in every way to assist the band, whom they regarded as their champions.
Had he wished ever to see her again, he need not have waited till this time; he would have done what she could not but believe that in his place she should have done long ago, when events had been early giving him the independence which alone had been wanting. Her brother and sister came back delighted with their new acquaintance, and their visit in general.
