Сторінка 161 - ... world ? I should have kept the mighty anguish in, And forced a smile at Cleopatra's falsehood : Octavia had believed it, and had stayed.
Сторінка 309 - I shall be very glad to hear what you have to say." He looked toward the open door. I arose and closed it. When I had resumed my seat he drew his chair closer to me, leaned toward me, and said : "In the first place, you should know that I am a materialized spirit.
Сторінка 81 - Not much," replied Lady Almeria; " there's my writing-desk, dressing-case, two cages of amadavades, three telescopes, my travelling pistols, my drawing-boards and camera obscura, my cloaks and parasols, my bagatelle-board, my music books, two poodles, my own maid and Miss Leech." " Miss Leech," cried Grojan. " A lady, my Lady, at the door in your Ladyship's carriage?" " Not exactly a lady, Mr. Grojum," said her Ladyship.
