1 Janet, by-the-bye, it was you who made me the offer.
2 My faculties, roused by the change of scene, the new field offered to hope, seemed all astir.
3 I dared not offer her the half-worn gloves, the creased handkerchief: besides, I felt it would be absurd.
4 Take this advice: the first and last I shall offer you; then you will not want me or any one else, happen what may.
5 And if you are inclined to despise the day of small things, seek some more efficient succour than such as I can offer.
6 By her grateful attention to me and mine, she has long since well repaid any little kindness I ever had it in my power to offer her.
7 She was not good; she was not original: she used to repeat sounding phrases from books: she never offered, nor had, an opinion of her own.
8 With me, then, it seems, you cannot go: but if you are sincere in your offer, I will, while in town, speak to a married missionary, whose wife needs a coadjutor.

13 I had the means of an excellent education placed within my reach; a fondness for some of my studies, and a desire to excel in all, together with a great delight in pleasing my teachers, especially such as I loved, urged me on: I availed myself fully of the advantages offered me.
14 The impulse of gratitude swelled my heart, and I knelt down at the bedside, and offered up thanks where thanks were due; not forgetting, ere I rose, to implore aid on my further path, and the power of meriting the kindness which seemed so frankly offered me before it was earned.
15 The first time I found St. John alone after this communication, I felt tempted to inquire if the event distressed him: but he seemed so little to need sympathy, that, so far from venturing to offer him more, I experienced some shame at the recollection of what I had already hazarded.
16 I suppose he had considered that these were all the governess would require for her private perusal; and, indeed, they contented me amply for the present; compared with the scanty pickings I had now and then been able to glean at Lowood, they seemed to offer an abundant harvest of entertainment and information.
17 , who advertised in the ---shire Herald of last Thursday, possesses the acquirements mentioned, and if she is in a position to give satisfactory references as to character and competency, a situation can be offered her where there is but one pupil, a little girl, under ten years of age; and where the salary is thirty pounds per annum.
