  'Do you mean that old Mr. Timmis must give up his shop to my father? By a silent understanding Clive did not enter the house at Pireford; to have done so would have excited remark, for this house, unlike some, had never been the rendezvous of young men; much less, therefore, did he invade the shop.

  Mr Brindley, like most of the people in the station, had a slightly pinched and chilled air, as though that morning he had by inadvertence omitted to don those garments which are not seen. 'Ah!' breathed Mr Brindley, blowing out much air and falling like a sack of coal into a corner seat.

  The rumour of it spread; before dinner Denry had visits from other aspirants to membership, and he had posted a cheque to Bostocks', but more from ostentation than necessity; for no member could possibly go into Bostocks' with his coupons until at least two months had elapsed. They just cried Good old Denry! and elected him--with a majority of only forty-one votes.

  Anna, what ages you've been!' Anna Tellwright stood motionless for a second in the shadow of the doorway. The outer facts of his career were known to all, for his riches made him notorious; but of the secret and intimate man none knew anything except Anna, and what little Anna knew had come to her by divination rather than discernment.

  Curious thing--Ellis never notices women's clothes; very interested in his own, and in other men's, but not in women's! The devil! Other men of business, besides James Peake, made similar exclamations that morning; for the collapse of Eardley Brothers, the great earthenware manufacturers, who were chiefly responsible for the ruinous cutting of prices in the American and Colonial markets, was no ordinary trade fiasco.

  V On leaving Mr. Lennox Kate walked slowly along the streets, recalling every word he had said, feeling his breath upon her cheek and his blue eyes looking into hers more distinctly in recollection than when he had held her in his arms. At last Kate said: 'I don't know what I shall do; I promised the dress by to-morrow morning.'

summary:
  The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting, while the chairman surreptitiously poked the fire with a piece of wood from the lower works of a chair, and then the chairman, as he signed the minutes with a pen dipped in an excise ink-bottle that stood on the narrow mantelpiece, said in his dry voice-- I call upon our young friend, Mr Edwin Clayhanger, to open the debate, `Is Bishop Colenso, considered as a Biblical commentator, a force for good?' I'm a damned fool! said Edwin to himself savagely, as he stood on his feet. Us'll ask Mr Edwin to have a go.
