1 I wished, yet feared, to find him.
2 Instead of finding her outside, I heard her voice within.
3 A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.
4 She grudged each moment that did not find her bending over his pillow, or seated by his side.
5 She returned presently, bringing a smoking basin and a basket of work; and, having placed the former on the hob, drew in her seat, evidently pleased to find me so companionable.
