עמוד 273 - Westphalia ham in a morning, ride over hedges and ditches on borrowed hacks, come home in the heat of the day with a fever, and (what is worse a hundred times) with a red mark in the forehead from an uneasy hat; all this may qualify them to make excellent wives for foxhunters, and bear abundance of ruddy-complexioned children.
עמוד 204 - It is indeed the same system as mine, but illustrated with a ray of your own, as they say our natural body is the same still when it is glorified. I am sure I like it better than I did before, and so will every man else. I know I meant just what you explain ; but I did not explain my own meaning so well as you. You understand me as well as I do myself; .but you express me better than I could express myself.
עמוד 401 - Though the place I am in is such as I would not quit for the town, if I did not value you more than any, nay...
עמוד 375 - Eurotas. The great lady still leads the dance, and is followed by a troop of young girls, who imitate her steps, and, if she sings, make up the chorus. The tunes are extremely gay and lively, yet with somethingin them wonderfully soft. The steps are varied according to the pleasure of her that leads the dance, but always in exact time, and infinitely more agreeable than, any of our dances, at least in my opinion.
עמוד 276 - ... my favourite woods in the forest, with a thousand reveries of past pleasures, I rid over hanging hills, whose tops were edged with groves, and whose feet watered with winding rivers, listening to the falls of cataracts below, and the murmuring of the winds above ; the gloomy verdure of Stonor succeeded to these, and then the shades of the evening overtook me.
עמוד 342 - I must be of correspondence with a person who had taught me long ago, that it was as possible to esteem at first sight, as to love : and who has since ruined me for all the conversation of one sex, and almost all the friendship of the other. I am but too sensible, through your means, that the company of men wants...
עמוד 504 - I am sure, if there be no very prevalent obstacle, you will leave any common business to do this; and I hope to see you this evening, as late as you will, or to-morrow morning as early, before this winter flower is faded.
עמוד 392 - I have paid to your eclogues : they lie enclosed in a monument of red Turkey, written in my fairest hand ; the gilded leaves are opened with no less veneration than the pages of the sibyls ; like them, locked up and concealed from all profane eyes ; none but my own have beheld these sacred remains of yourself; and I should think it as great a wickedness to divulge them, as to scatter abroad the ashes of my ancestors.
עמוד 345 - May that person for whom you have left all the world, be so just as to prefer you to all the world. I believe his good understanding has engaged .him to do so hitherto, and I think his gratitude must for the future. May you continue to think him worthy of whatever you have done ; may you ever look upon him with the eyes of a first lover, nay, if possible, with all the unreasonable happy fondness of an unexperienced one, surrounded with all the enchantments and ideas of romance and poetry. In a word,...
עמוד 535 - Whether it has action enough to please the stage, I doubt; but the morality and satire ought to be relished by the reader. I will do more than you ask me ; I will recommend it to Mr. Rich. If he can join it to any play, with suitable representations, to make it an entertainment, I believe he will give you a benefit night; and I sincerely wish it may be turned any way to your advantage, or that I could show you my friendship in any instance. I am, &c.
