"Yes, undoubtedly," Faraday squeezed in, as Mrs. Ryan drew a breath. "Indeed, Mr. Faraday, everybody has remarked her talents. It isn't you alone.
The talk about Christmas presents and parties and new frocks and next term's doings buzzed on, but Florence felt less lonely and frightened.

The preacher, who was a divine that held many of David's opinions, privately apologised for his brevity by saying, "That he observed the Captain was gaunting grievously, and that if he had detained him longer, there was no knowing how long he might be in paying the next term's victual stipend."

Her aunt was quite troubled about her, though she tried to make light of it, and Mr. Woburn said cheerily, "You must make haste and get well for to-morrow, Ruth. I suppose you will have a grand prize to bring home after all this term's work."
"The letter contained a request for service of a peculiar sort, connected with some legal matters, contained money and promise of more. Over three times the sum I asked God for was finally given. More than enough for a term's expenses. "I never mentioned the matter of my need at that time to a human being, nor spoke of the prayer.
"Oh, deah, now de term's dun begun we'll all be dead wid dat boy's tricks!" he moaned, as Tom ran off, throwing away several tiny tacks as he did so. "So you've come back, have you?" observed Mrs. Green, as Tom stopped at the kitchen door. "Well, just you mind your P's and Q's, or there will be trouble, I can tell you that, Tom Rover." "Why, we never had any trouble, Mrs. Green," he said soberly.
"I supposed that was what you'd come for, Mr. Mitchell," the sheriff answered; "but you know, sir, that as much as I'd like to oblige you, I'm bound to protect the man. He swears that he's never touched Mrs. Morris." "Great God, sheriff! how can you mention the thing quietly? You know " "Yes, I know; and I know that I'll never do the dirty work of a sheriff a day after my term's up.
Moreover, Prothero had an earthy liking for animals, he could stroke and tickle strange cats until they wanted to leave father and mother and all earthly possessions and follow after him, and he mortgaged a term's pocket money and bought and kept a small terrier in the school house against all law and tradition, under the baseless pretence that it was a stray animal of unknown origin.
