She wore an evening dress of black crêpe, a jet necklace on her fair neck, jet bracelets on her arms: mourning far deeper than the dowager's. "Are you listening to me, Val?" "I am quite ready," answered Val.
But the Colonel said he must talk to his brother-in-law for a while, and Mr. Barnes, bowing very respectfully to him, slipped under a dowager's arm in the doorway, and retreated silently downstairs. Newcome was now thrown entirely upon the clergyman, and the latter described the personages present to the stranger, who was curious to know how the party was composed. Mrs.
'Never again will I doubt you, my Amanda, cried the Raven, packing herself into the dowager's corner with a grateful heart. 'I hope the top of this carriage opens, for I must see everything, cried Matilda, prancing about on the front seat in a chaos of wraps, books, bottles, and lunch-baskets. 'Of course it does, and when there is anything to see we will see it.
My wife says that: "Not infrequently when I have been called for the first time to the homes of the better classes I have seen the children run into the house from the outer court exclaiming, 'The devil doctor's coming. Indeed, I have heard the women use this term in speaking of me to my assistant until I objected, when they asked with surprise, 'Doesn't she like to be called foreign devil?"

It is work that you want, and it is much more honorable to work in a stable and be right with God, than to live in the luxuries as a High Priest and be an hypocrite.
She saw the Dowager's paint t'other day, and asked her why she wore that red stuff didn't you, Trix? and the Tower; and St. James's; and the play; and the Prince George, and the Princess Anne didn't you, Trix?"
