vf13-02 And their chief virtue lies in that they will never wear out
vf13-03 Beyond dispute, Corry Hutchinson had married Mabel Holmes
vf13-04 No-sir-ee
vf13-05 Each insult added to the value of the claim
vf13-06 For the rest, he was a mere automaton
vf13-07 The river bared its bosom, and snorting steamboats challenged the wilderness
vf13-08 Their love burned with increasing brightness

vf13-10 Both Johnny and his mother shuffled their feet as they walked
vf13-11 And as in denial of guilt, the one-legged boy replied
vf13-12 Burnt out like the crater of a volcano
vf13-13 The boy, O'Brien, was specially maltreated
vf13-14 O'Brien took off his coat and bared his right arm

vf13-31 There is more behind this than a mere university ideal
vf13-32 No, it is a palace, wherein there are many servants
vf13-33 We must give ourselves and not our money alone
vf13-34 We are consumed in our own flesh-pots
vf13-35 But here amongst ourselves let us speak out
vf13-36 Also, there was awe in their faces
