Strana 21 - The centurion did not keep his soldiers in better order than she keeps her guests. It is to one " Go," and he goeth ; and to another " Do this,
Strana 419 - A few minutes later Corona left the confessional and went and kneeled in the body of the church to collect her thoughts. She was in a very different frame of mind from that in which she had left home an hour ago. She hardly knew whether she felt herself a better woman, but she was sure that she was stronger. There was no desire...
Strana 389 - ... to their married life. George, in real life, would not behave in the very least like this. He would have known darn well whether Ivy was telling the truth — and whether she was or not, he wouldn't think it necessary to do anything so suicidal as marry her.

And then her happy lover learned how her affection for him, springing up in the pleasant days of childhood, had grown with her growth, and strengthened with her strength ; until it became a deep and all-absorbing passion — the great reality of her spirit-life ; for love such as hers, outstripping the bounds of time, links itself even with our hopes beyond the grave ; — how, when he lay...
Strana 8 - ... to exchange the deep-felt realities of her own individual existence, for a succession of domestic connections, all alike foreign to her blood and her heart, yet all alike demanding as lively and demonstrative an interest, as if indeed each successive set formed her only family, and her only care.
Strana 191 - Winds beneath them, were mixed with no transparent drapery, contrasting its snow-white delicacy with their massy crimson. The carpet showed no pale pigeon-wing tints, but sunk deep and soft beneath the feet, in all the dark-dyed splendour of an eastern loom; chairs formed for every possible variety of lounge, stood temptingly in all directions.
Strana 191 - There were, however, neither footstools nor mirrors—but over the chimney-piece, and the doors, and, in short, wherever books were not, hung some precious gem of art, guarded with a miser's care, by curtains that went and came again by the touch of a spring.
