The Hound of the Baskervilles on The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England: “Know then that in the time of the Great Rebellion (the history of which by the learned Lord Clarendon I most earnestly commend to your attention) this Manor of Baskerville was held by Hugo of that name, nor can it be gainsaid that he was a most wild, profane, and godless man.”
The White Company on Garin de Montglane: “…black even lines drew his hand down to them, as the loadstone draws the needle, until, almost before he knew it, he was standing with the romance of Garin de Montglane before his eyes, so absorbed in its contents as to be completely oblivious both of where he was and why he had come there.”
The White Company on Doon de Mayence: “I tell you, my fair lord," she was saying, "that it is no fit training for a demoiselle: hawks and hounds, rotes and citoles singing a French rondel, or reading the Gestes de Doon de Mayence, as I found her yesternight, pretending sleep, the artful, with the corner of the scroll thrusting forth from under her pillow.”
Micah Clarke on An Alarm to the Unconverted: “'There is Alleine's "Alarm to the Unconverted,"' said she. 'It is a stirring work, and one which hath wrought much good.”
Micah Clarke on Faithful Contendings: “Truly I had thought that every one had read the "Alarm." What dost thou think, then, of "Faithful Contendings"?' 'I have not read it.'”
Micah Clarke on Sermons: “'Or of Baxter's Sermons?' she asked. 'I have not read them.'”
