The character of the proud but loving Rachel was particularly suited to Miss Clarke, and her impersonation was in her best manner.

Students and others residing in Divinity Hall, and perhaps graduates not resident, have sometimes a feeling in reference to this Library (a vague presumption of right or property in it) by which they may be led, when opportunity offers, to take away books contrary to rule and without permission...
