The desire and design of this briefer memoir is to present the salient points of the narrative, to review the whole life-story as from the great summits or outlooks found in this remarkable journal; so that, like the observer who from some high mountain-peak looks toward the different points of the compass, and thus gets a rapid, impressive, comparative, and comprehensive view of the whole landscape, the reader may, as at a glance, take in those marked features of this godly man's character and career which incite to new and advance steps in faith and holy living.
It was enlarged by the tenth Lord Clifford the 'Shepherd Lord' whose strange life-story is mentioned in the next chapter in connection with Skipton but having become ruinous, it was repaired in 1658 by that indefatigable restorer of the family castles, the Lady Anne Clifford.
In the religious life desire is sometimes strangely ineffective. It is static, if that be not a contradiction in terms. In many a life-story it stands written: One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I dream of, that will I hope for, that will I wait for. Many things help to explain this attitude, and, explaining it, they condemn it also.

Diana could never stand before a fire of hickory logs and fail to see her life-story reappear as she had seen it that night. The hours went by. "It's too bad to keep you up so, my darling!" Evan remarked. "I am selfish." "No indeed! But you must want something, Evan! I had forgotten all about it." He said he wanted nothing, but her; however, Diana's energies were roused.
Her sister perfectly realises this, for she has the prettiest names for her. 'That angel-woman, I have heard her say that; very often she calls her 'das Engelkind; and without exaggeration she has a rare and beautiful nature." Malcolm assented to this, then he said slowly, "Has it ever struck you that there are no lines on Miss Templeton's face? I should think her life-story must be a happy one.
In the box with Lady Shalem was the Grafin von Tolb, a well-dressed woman of some fifty-six years, comfortable and placid in appearance, yet alert withal, rather suggesting a thoroughly wide-awake dormouse.
