Mrs. Oliphant Quotes

It Never Was Anything Very Splendid At The Best," Said He. He Lifted The Lamp From The Table With A Sort Of Abstraction, Not Remarking Even My Offer To Take It From Him, And Led The Way. He Was On The Verge Of Seventy, And Looked His Age; But It Was A Vigorous Age, With No Symptom Of Giving Way. The Circle Of Light From The Lamp Lit Up His White Hair And Keen Blue Eyes And Clear Complexion; His Forehead Was Like Old Ivory, His Cheek Warmly Colored; An Old Man, Yet A Man In Full Strength. He Was Taller Than I Was, And Still Almost As Strong. As He Stood For A Moment With The Lamp In His Hand, He Looked Like A Tower In His Great Height And Bulk. I Reflected As I Looked At Him That I Knew Him Intimately, More Intimately Than Any Other Creature In The World, - I Was Familiar With Every Detail Of His Outward Life; Could It Be That In Reality I Did Not Know Him At All? *
