עמוד 48 - I begin to complain, then you are angry, and there is something in your looks so awful that it strikes me dumb. Oh ! that you may have but so much regard for me left that this complaint may touch your soul with pity. I say as little as ever I can ; did you but know what I thought, I am sure it would move you to forgive me ; and believe I cannot help telling you this and live.
עמוד 17 - The heat of the day is spent in reading or working, and about six or seven o'clock I walk out into a common that lies hard by the house, where a great many young wenches keep sheep and cows, and sit in the shade singing of ballads.
עמוד 165 - Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven As make the angels weep.
עמוד 127 - On Wednesday night we came to the Adelphi, — to this house ! She bore it with great tranquillity ; but what was my surprise to see her go alone into the chamber and bed, in which he had died that day fortnight. She had a delight in it beyond expression. I asked her the next day how she went through it ? She told me, very well ; that she first prayed with great composure, then went and kissed the dear bed, and got into it with a sad pleasure.
עמוד 33 - I do not think all nature could have furnished such a scene of beauty. She made them a sign to play and dance. Four of them immediately began to play some soft airs on instruments, between a lute and a guitar, which they accompanied with their voices, while the others danced by turns.
עמוד 338 - His reading is very peculiar, but, to my ear, delightful ; slow, solemn, earnest in expression more than any I have ever heard : when he reads or recites in the open air, his deep rich tones seem to proceed from a spirit-voice, and belong to the religion of the place ; they harmonize so fitly with the thrilling tones of woods and waterfalls.
עמוד 373 - I had a kindly leaning towards him, because he is an amiable and welldisposed man, yet I had not, and could not have, that intense attachment which would make me willing to die for him; and, if ever I marry, it must be in that light of adoration that I will regard my husband.
עמוד 79 - Lady Coventry to feast me, and a feast she was. She is a fine figure, and vastly handsome, notwithstanding a silly look sometimes about her mouth ; she has a thousand airs, but with a sort of innocence that diverts one. Her dress was a black silk sack, made for a large hoop, which she wore without any, and it trailed a yard on the ground...
עמוד 266 - Night's Dream ; or, rather, like an old literary Darby and Joan : I taking snuff, and he groaning all the while, and saying he can make nothing of it, which he always says till he has finished, and then he finds out he has made something of it.
עמוד 372 - ... foolish. I know the first letter I wrote to you was all senseless trash from beginning to end ; but I am not altogether the idle dreaming being it would seem to denote. My father is a clergyman of limited, though competent income, and I am the eldest of his children. He expended quite as much in my education as he could afford in justice to the rest. I thought it therefore my duty, when I left school, to become a governess.
