Стр. 198 - There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest. There the prisoners are at ease together ; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
Стр. 160 - As for those poor staturs, they always set me shivering — they look so like human creaturs froze to death : I am sure, had I been at home, I would have got up a subscription for some cheap flannel for them. You may get very good flannel to give away for sixpence a yard at the Lunnun Emporium. But, Lord ! Lord ! one might as well be out of the world as out of Lunnun.

Стр. 9 - Tis folly to dream of a bower of green, When there is not a leaf on the tree ;" and, turning from the past to the present, a little judicious appreciation of his host's claret and conversation obtained, before they parted for the night, more than a hint that Mr. Arundel's influence in the borough was at the disposal of the man who so well understood his country's true interests. Still, Emily was not forgotten ; and the next morning she...
Стр. 32 - English, means that vanity and imagination were at variance ; and a thousand fine things that he might have said about the prospect with such effect, if he had been listened to, were now being wasted on himself." " To again quote the oracles of my highpriest, Wordsworth, there is nothing like ' The harvest of a quiet eye, That broods and sleeps on its own heart.
Стр. 102 - ... primrose by the river's brim, a yellow primrose was to him, but it was nothing more ; though we all actually know all there is to be known about the little primrose. Basil [letting...
Стр. 363 - ... was too long. The very few Times that Kitty had ever enjoyed the Amusement of Dancing was an excuse for her impatience, and an apology for the Idleness it occasioned to a Mind naturally very Active ; but her Freind without such a plea was infinitely worse than herself. She could do nothing but wander from the house to the Garden, and from the Garden to the avenue, wondering when Thursday would come, which she might easily have ascertained, and counting the hours as they passed which served only...
Стр. 21 - This propensity had brought on him an absurd nickname. A young lady, whose designs on another he had thwarted for a whole evening by a course of ill-timed compliments — and the prosperity of a compliment, even more than of a jest, " Must lie i' the ear of him who hears it," — called him Cupid Quotem ; and the ridiculous is memory's most adhesive plaster.
