And though,' says Gillian, gaily, wrapping the while, with house-motherly precaution, a woolly shawl round the shoulders of Emilia, who has sneezed and though the event has never once fulfilled the prediction, our faith remains absolutely unshaken.'

Excerpt from Second Thoughts
There is no truer proverb than the one that tells us that 'A watched pot never boils;' and yet, though they have all been watching, with their eyes upon the dial-plate, for the clock to strike midnight, it has struck at last. Instantly there is a rising, a rustling, a cheerful moving. Through the door of communication they pass - men, women, and children - from the sleepy, warm arm-chairs of the drawing-room into the chill semi-obscurity of the unfurnished, echoing gallery, which for the last twenty years has served for the romp-place, dance-place, wet-day-place, litter-place, of the Marlowe family. Along the floor, upon the bare boards, each parted from the other by an interval of about a yard, stand twelve bedroom candles, which a stooping footman is in the act of lighting.
