| Arsenius was a noble Roman who, at the end of the fourth century, retired to Egypt to live the life of an anchoret in the desert. |
| His plump cheeks, no less than his well-filled waistcoat, showed that the Rev. Mr. Rimmon was no anchoret. |
| For it stood on the transcantine side, an anchoret in itself, severed by the river from the rest of the University. |
| Ammona lived with three thousand brethren in such silence as though he was an anchoret. |
| But at Monkbarns, no anchoret could have made a more simple and scanty meal. |
| No anchoret, indeed, could claim for himself much more apathy towards all such allurements than he did at that period. |
