The Athenian was holding her hand and trying to comfort her. Rhodopis listened patiently, and smiled the while; at times her smile was bitter, at others it gave assent to his words. At last however she interrupted her well-intentioned friend, by saying: "Phanes, I thank you. Sooner or later this last disgrace must be forgotten too. Time is clever in the healing art.
Barnet's society, who has of course been accustomed to London people of good position, which made Emily fearful of intruding. Barnet expressed his warmest thanks for the well-intentioned proposition. There was reason in Mrs. Downe's fear that he owned. 'But do let her call, he said. 'There is no woman in England I would so soon trust on such an errand.
Since, therefore, speaking broadly, the dramatist can publish his work only through production, it is only through attending plays and studying what lies beneath the acting and behind the presentation that even the most well-intentioned critic of contemporary drama can discover what our dramatists are driving at.

She delivered herself in a soft, unmeaning monotone, which, like "the brook," flowed "on for ever" at least until some desperate listener interrupted her discourteously. In the present instance it was her own indescribable feelings which interrupted her. "Try a bit o' plum-duff, Mrs Mitford," suggested Massey, with well-intentioned sincerity, holding up a lump of the viand on his fork.
