‘I have been used to much hotter suns than that of England.’
‘I hardly knew you again at first—not till I heard you speak.’
‘Fifteen years are a long time.’
‘Yet already it seems to me as if I should have known you anywhere. You are different, and yet the same.’
‘When I arrived last evening, I did not know that you were here. I heard your voice before I saw you, and the fifteen years seemed to vanish like a dream.’
‘It seems to me like a dream when I go back in memory to those old days at the vicarage, and call to mind all that happened there.’
‘Do you ever think of that evening when you and I parted?’
‘I have not forgotten it,’ answered Lady Dimsdale in a low voice.
‘How little we thought that we should not meet again for so long a time!’
