Σελίδα 10 - T is gladness to ride At the peep of dawn o'er the dewy moors! For the sportsmen have mounted the topmost crags, And the fleet dogs bound o'er the mossy hags, And the mist clears off, as the lagging sun With his first ray gleams on the glancing gun, And the startled grouse, and the black cock spring At the well-known report on whirring wing.
Σελίδα 189 - I take these wise men that crow so at these set kind of fools, no better than the fools' zanies. OLIVIA. O, you are sick of self-love, Malvolio, and taste with a distempered appetite. To be generous, guiltless, and of free disposition, is to take those things for bird-bolts that you deem cannon bullets. There is no slander in an allowed fool, though he do nothing but rail; nor no railing in known discreet man, though he do nothing but reprove.
Σελίδα 210 - ... one of the humblest of the actors concerned: nor will I spin out a circumstance interesting principally from its singularity and truth, but narrate, as concisely as I can, how I was surprised on visiting what seemed a ruined tower, crowning a bleak promontory overhanging the sea, that flows between Wales and Ireland, to find that though the exterior preserved all the savage rudeness that betokened many a war with the elements, the interior was fitted up somewhat in the guise of a summer-house,...
Σελίδα 303 - ... observed Mrs. Mary Smith. " I dare say," returned the post-mistress, " Williams is not his real name." " I don't know that," interrupted the landlady ; " Williams is a good hanging name: there was Williams who murdered the Marr's family, and Williams who burked all those poor dear children ; I dare say he is some relation of theirs ; but to think of his coming to the White Hart— it's no place for...
Σελίδα 10 - The moors ! the moors! the joyous moors! When Autumn displays her golden stores; When the morning's breath Blows across the heath, And the fern waves wide On the mountain's side, 'Tis gladness to ride At the peep of dawn o'er the dewy moors!
Σελίδα 231 - ... alone attesting it had once been of some importance. About the period of the commencement of our story, it again received inmates, but of a nature perfectly suited to its present gloomy appearance. Two old men were allowed to occupy an unfurnished apartment and its adjoining closet. Some compassionate neighbours bestowed a straw mattress and a little covering, pitying, perhaps, the ill-sorted union of old age and beggary; this, together with a small stove, a saucepan, a lamp, two chairs, soon...
Σελίδα 70 - Je vous aimerai lien"— those little, barefooted, despised, and dirty Savoyards, who come down, poor things! in droves from their mountains, to sweep chimneys and clean shoes; and for whose misfortune there is lack of soot and mud in the summer season. Let him give a...
Σελίδα 97 - Serjeant from Ehrenbreitstein having brought them on the same evening I left Coblentz, stating, that he had picked them up in the guardroom (where, no doubt, they had fallen out of my pocketbook when I exhibited my passport), and he had, in consequence of inquiries made through some of his superior officers, ascertained, that the owner was lodging at the Drey Schweitzen. This was a cheering welcome on my return ; but the landlord had still more pleasing intelligence in reserve for me ; he informed...
Σελίδα 87 - ... within its precincts, besides myself. I took advantage of a rustic seat, under the spreading branches of a full grown walnut-tree, to dissipate my ill-humour by a gentle slumber, which the refreshing shade and agreeable solitude quickly induced. How long I slept, I know not, but I was roused by the sound of a light footstep upon the gravel walk that led to the walnut-tree. I was surprised to behold, in the intruder upon my repose, a young and elegant lady, who, unattended, was walking slowly...
