For a week after I got it I thought Northampton really unpardonably tame.

But I am drifting back again to my old deeps of resignation, and I rush to the window, when any one passes, with all my old gratitude for small favors.

So Roderick Hudson is already a great man, and you turn out to be a great prophet?
My compliments to both of you; I never heard of anything working so smoothly.

And he takes it all very quietly, and does n't lose his balance nor let it turn his head?
You judged him, then, in a day better than I had done in six months, for I really did not expect that he would settle down into such a jog-trot of prosperity.

I believed he would do fine things, but I was sure he would intersperse them with a good many follies, and that his beautiful statues would spring up out of the midst of a straggling plantation of wild oats.
