Mrs Prudence Sindlesham, a widow of several years’ standing, so she told
Gerald, was a scarecrow of a female, long and lank of limb in a figure that had
once been willowy. “You know I’m old-fashioned, Miss Stanley. "
"Surely, you haven't stolen it?"

snow! How often had these two things entered his thoughts since his wanderings
began? Red apples and snow!—and never again to behold them!
"I am going out for a little while," she said. "
"Devilish hard! I'm not allowed a chance," grumbled Austin, as he was left
alone. I have it about me. Divers plans and figures were chalked
upon the walls; and the spaces between them were filled up with an almanack for
the year; a godly ballad, adorned with a rude wood-cut, purporting to be "The
History of Chaste Susannah;" an old print of the Seven Golden Candlesticks; an
abstract of the various Acts of Parliament against drinking, swearing, and all
manner of profaneness; and a view of the interior of Doctor Daniel Burgess's
Presbyterian meeting-house in Russell Court, with portraits of the reverend
gentleman and the principal members of his flock. Why, that boy could hide for thirty years—without the girl. ’

out for the handkerchief.
