"Excuse me just a moment, Susan Jack, the stuff for the library curtains came, and I don't think it's the same," said Isabel or, "Jack, dear, I accepted for the Gregorys'," or "The Wilsons didn't get their card after all, Jack. Helen told Mama so!" All these matters were discussed at length between husband and wife, Susan occasionally agreeing or sympathizing.
The parish of the two Wortons has for years been a family living in the possession of the Wilsons, so an old friend, a relation of Bishop Wilson, tells me. It was at Worton Church that John Newman preached his first sermon, 23rd June, 1825. Rev. Walter Mayers went as curate, in 1823, to Rev. William Wilson, and took charge of Worton parish.
Let famous men, whose reputation is firm-fixed our Wordsworths, Hallams, Campbells, Crolys, Wilsons, Bulwers, and the like decide in the case of at least all who desire such decision.
She had a feeling, amounting almost to a conviction, that Transley underrated his foreman's possibilities in such a contest. She had seen many a dark horse, less promising than Linder, gallop home with the stakes. Then Zen smiled her own quiet, self-confident smile, the smile which had come down to her from Y.D. and from the Wilsons the only family that had ever mastered him.
For a moment the villain, who was, of course, none other than the Stephen Smith that was in the habit of visiting the Wilsons, seemed taken aback; but instantly recovering himself, replied, that his boat was so often hired by fishing parties, it would be difficult to tell the name of the lady from whose dress it might have dropped that was, "provided it had dropped from a lady's dress, at all."

The Millwards and the Wilsons should see with their own eyes the bright sun bursting from the cloud—and they should be scorched and dazzled by its beams;—and my own friends too should see it—they whose suspicions had been such gall and wormwood to my soul.
He'd have gone on just the same with any sort of girl out of Flodmouth who happened to take his fancy for the minute. You don't know men of his sort like I do. And now you're silly enough to stop on at the Wilsons just because he asks you: even when I ask you not. It's time you learnt "
And Aunt Huldah came with him in the neatest cap, the nicest dress, and the brightest gold beads that any old lady wore.

Then came the Wilsons; then came the widow Flaxman, thinking how sad it would be to sing one of her old nasal songs alone. Then came Mrs.

There's the Wilsons, and the Wilcoxes, and the Harknesses, they take a mean pleasure in saying 'Your friend Burgess, because they know it pesters me.
