familiar

Lynde was there that day, and I never knew how much I really liked her until I saw her familiar face among all those strangers.

In the joy of seeing a familiar face Anne forgot that there had never been much love lost between her and Josie.

Two days afterwards they carried Matthew Cuthbert over his homestead threshold and away from the fields he had tilled and the orchards he had loved and the trees he had planted; and then Avonlea settled back to its usual placidity and even at Green Gables affairs slipped into their old groove and work was done and duties fulfilled with regularity as before, although always with the aching sense of “loss in all familiar things.” Anne, new to grief, thought it almost sad that it could be so--that they _could_ go on in the old way without Matthew.

Darcy, “There is a very fine old saying, which everybody here is of course familiar with--‘Keep your breath to cool your porridge,’--and I shall keep mine to swell my song.”
