WENTWORTH'S Australia, vol. i. p. 311. Third edition. See also COLLINS' New South Wales, p. 383. Indeed, to those who have been from infancy accustomed to the quiet consecrated burying places of our own land, spots which, in rural districts, are usually retired, yet not quite removed from the reach of "the busy hum of men;" to those who have always looked upon a Christian temple,
He felt that he was now quite a man of the world. As flattering as was his growth in New Leeds, he had a much more infallible evidence of his success in the favor with which he was being received in New York. The favor that Mrs. Lancaster had shown Keith, and, much more, old Mrs. Wentworth's friendship, had a marked effect throughout their whole circle of acquaintance.
"I beg you will speak for yourself, Mr Leeson," said Mrs Morgan, with dignity. "I have always had the highest respect for Mr Wentworth." "Oh, I beg your pardon," said the disagreeable Curate. "I forgot; almost all the ladies are on Mr Wentworth's side. It appears that little girl of Elsworthy's has disappeared again; that was all I was going to say."
Lady Russell had not been arrived five minutes the day before, when a full account of the whole had burst on her; but still it must be talked of, she must make enquiries, she must regret the imprudence, lament the result, and Captain Wentworth's name must be mentioned by both.

The shutters were all put up that afternoon in the prettiest house in Grange Lane.
Jean had ceased her protest, and to her own intense surprise she found herself leaning forward, watching every move. She cried out with pain when Wentworth's fist brought the blood from Oskar's nose, and she applauded when Hedin's last three blows landed with vicious thuds against the engineer's upturned chin. Hedin rose to his feet and held the handkerchief to his bleeding nose.
She took hardly any notice of Charles Hayter yesterday. I wish you had been there to see her behaviour. And as to Captain Wentworth's liking Louisa as well as Henrietta, it is nonsense to say so; for he certainly does like Henrietta a great deal the best. But Charles is so positive!
Two worlds and half a dozen industries had conspired to shower gold on Calder Wentworth's head. The street and the watering-place remained; the mine and the railway had been sold at the top of the market. About the same time the family name became Wentworth it had been Stripes, which was felt to be absurd and the family itself began to take an exalted place in society.
Without suspecting that Roger Wentworth's death bore any relation to Frances's trouble, Nelly soon began asking questions about the tragedy, and learned that Frances had recognized one of the highwaymen.
