Сторінка 315 - Laureate in one of his comedies. Some inattentive and undiscerning people have, I know, taken it to be a term synonymous with coquetry ; but I lay hold of this opportunity to undeceive them, and eventually to inform Mr. Johnson, that flirtation is short of coquetry, and intimates only the first hints of approximation, which subsequent coquetry may reduce to those preliminary articles, that commonly end in a definitive treaty.
Сторінка 314 - Nebo had had the preaching that thou hast they would have converted. And you rulers and officers, be wise and circumspect, look to your charge, and see you do your duties; and rather be glad to amend your ill living than to be angry when you are warned or told of your fault.

Sir Walter had many opportunities of procuring him a benefice, but never dared avail himself of them, satisfied that his absence of mind would only bring him into scrapes, if placed in a responsible situation.

Сторінка 421 - And indeed happy is it for society that men have commonly such repositories for their ill-humours; for I can truly assert, that the easiest, the best-natured, and the most entertaining man I know out of his own house, is the most tyrannical master, brother, husband, and father, in the whole world...
Сторінка 29 - HILL 1 857] voice was just as friendly — ay, and if possible, more winning still. He was now in the prime of manhood, in his forty-fifth year; full of youth and life and eloquence, and rich in a rare humour that glowed with kindliness. I know not how to describe him better than...
Сторінка 34 - Dickens, so like him, so youthful and handsome ; and over a bedroom door and a dining-room door were inserted the bas-reliefs of Night and Day, after Thorwaldsen.

Сторінка 106 - War, took a pair of oars, and drawing near the Bridge, leapt into the Thames, and drowned himself, leaving a note behind him in the boat to this effect : 'My folly in undertaking what I could not perform, whereby some misfortunes have befallen the King's service, is the cause of my putting myself to this sudden end ; I wish him success in all his undertakings, and a better servant.
