"Children, ay, forsooth, / They bring their own love with them when they come, / But if they come not there is peace and rest; / The pretty lambs! and yet she cries for more: / Why, the world's full of them, and so is heaven -- / They are not rare. " -- _Jean Ingelow._
The girls had lingered so long at the vicarage that Cathy postponed / their intended walk until after luncheon; but as soon as it was over / they sallied forth again, this time with Emmie.
