Сторінка 185 - We also wrote our lovers' names upon bits of paper, and rolled them up in clay, and put them into water ; and the first that rose up was to be our valentine.

Сторінка 182 - When the bookseller offered Milton five pounds for his Paradise Lost, he did not reject it, and commit his poem to the flames ; nor did he accept the miserable pittance as the reward of his labor.

Сторінка 53 - It's no great matter whether I see them to-night, or not, for nine of them have such bad constitutions that all the physicians in the world can't save them ; and the other six have such good constitutions that all the physicians in the world can't kill them.
Сторінка 502 - How now, are you up yet?" was greeted with the angry retort : "Nay, what do you do here at this time of night? Will you never leave the company of that loose woman?
