Side 56 - Grace turned more and more uncomfortable. " Oh, pray wait a few months, and see what I can do, before you " Will it be believed that Mr. Garden, who seldom came into this room at all, must walk in, just at this moment, and interrupt them ?

" I heard you were here, Little, and I want to speak to you on a matter of some importance."...
Side 202 - Raby took into his head to repair the old church, and be married in it. This crotchet postponed his happiness for some months. But the days and weeks rolled on. Raby became Sheriff of the county. Coventry got a little better, and moved to the next villa.

But Little, the man of action, began to faint. He decided to return to the United States...
Side 197 - ... and, throwing himself backward with a jerk, tore her out of the water by an effort almost superhuman. Such was the force exerted by the torrent on one side, and the desperate lover on the other, that not her shoes only, but her stockings, though gartered, were torn off her in that fierce struggle.
