Whatever it was, for it was not generally known for a few months later, it seemed to draw them closer together, imparted a protecting dignity to Joshua Rylands, which took the place of his former selfish austerity, gave them a future to talk of confidentially, hopefully, and sometimes foolishly, which took the place of their more foolish past, and when the roll of calico came from the cross roads, it contained also a quantity of fine linen, laces, small caps, and other trifles, somewhat in contrast to the more homely materials ordered.
It was not histrionic, and yet for its commercial importance it was one of the most moving spectacles which could offer itself to the eye in the whole world. I cannot pretend to have profited by my visit to that immensely valuable deposit of books, bought from the Spencer family at Althorp, and dedicated as the Rylands library to the memory of a citizen of Manchester.

He was too reckless of consequence to lie. Mr. Rylands was staggered and half convinced. Nevertheless, he hesitated. "Dare you tell me everything that happened between my wife and you?" "Dare you listen?" said Mr.
"My name is Rylands; you called at my house this afternoon and saw my wife," said Rylands slowly. "I did," said Hamlin. "It was mighty kind of you to return my call so soon, but I didn't expect it."
