Bleak House

CHAPTER XIII
25/29

Never separate the two, like the heathen waggoner.

Constancy in love is a good thing, but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.

"I will leave IT here, sir," replied Richard smiling, "if I brought it here just now (but I hope I did not), and will work my way on to my cousin Ada in the hopeful distance." "Right!" said Mr.Jarndyce.

"Well said!" cried Mr.Jarndyce.
