Сторінка 390 - TREAD softly! bow the head — In reverent silence bow ! No passing bell doth toll; Yet an immortal soul Is passing now. Stranger, however great, With lowly reverence bow! There's one in that poor shed — One by that paltry bed — Greater than thou.

Сторінка 264 - Go, go,' but they would not. Whereupon the Nana ordered his soldiers, and they went and pulled them forcibly away, seizing them by the arm, but they could not pull away the doctor's wife, who there remained. '"Then, just as the Sepoys were going to fire, the Padre (chaplain) called out to the Nana, and requested leave to read prayers before they died. The Nana granted it, and the Padre's...
Сторінка 464 - ... displayed : it was especially so on a sheet with a sort of trumpet-flower or bignonia, in which there were about two inches in the corner of bougainvillia. He thought that uncommon shade quite marvellous, as well as the orange tone of scarlet in the flower, and the poinsettia perfectly dazzling. He had expended his admiration, I suppose, for when Somers showed his own exhibition, he was captious and said, ' You copy nature too closely ! It is the place itself! they are views, not pictures.
Сторінка 289 - I don't care two straws for the abuse of the papers, British or Indian. I am for ever wondering at myself for not doing so, but it really is the fact. Partly from want of time to care, partly because an enormous task is before me, and all other tasks look small.
Сторінка 143 - There is an odd, mysterious thing going on, still unexplained. It is this. In one part of the country the native police have been making little cakes — 'chupatties (1 — and sending them on from place to place. Each man makes twelve, keeps two, and sends away ten to ten men, who make twelve more each, and they spread all over the country. They all think it is an order from Government, and no one can discover any meaning in it.
