He showed me one with notes on the margin in Johnson's hand-writing; and I was present when he read another to Johnson, that he might have his opinion of it, and Johnson said it was 'very well. These, we may be sure, were not Johnson's; for he was above little arts, or tricks of deception.
A wave of crimson flooded her recently pale cheeks. "Why what where did you get this?" she stammered. "It is my theme." "You mean it is the original from which you copied yours," put in Miss Duncan dryly. "Is that your hand-writing?" "No," replied Grace, in a puzzled tone.

He can write the Law on your hearts, and thereby take away the hand-writing that is against you, even the old curse which by nature you inherit. He has done this for many in time past.

Removing several piles of the large, heavy coins, Louis at last found an envelope, sealed in black and bearing these words in big letters: "TO MY WELL-BELOVED SON."

It was drawn up in the hand-writing of Alexander. Subsequently it was signed by the Kings of England and France, and by nearly all the sovereigns of Europe.
