Sample Sentences

-

By stealth, there had been there, in the darkness of the night, poor desolated creatures, who stole from their scanty hours ’ rest, that they might repay to him some of those ministrations of love in which he had always been so abundant. Truly, those poor disciples had little to give,—only the cup of cold water; but it was given with full hearts.
