Pagina 56 - Harley's notice : he had given it the tribute of some tears. The unfortunate young lady had till now seemed entranced in thought, with her eyes fixed on a little garnet ring she wore on her finger : she turned them now upon Harley. My Billy is no more ! said she. Do you weep for my Billy ? Blessings on your tears ! I would weep too, but my brain is dry ; and it burns, it burns, it burns !

Pagina 116 - Let me entreat you, sir', said he, 'to hope better things. The world is ever tyrannical ; it warps our sorrows to edge them with keener affliction.

There are blemishes, I confess, which deform, in some degree, the picture ; but I know the benignity of the Supreme Being, and rejoice at the thoughts of its exertion in my favour. My mind expands at the thought I shall enter into the society of the blessed, wise as angels, with the simplicity of children.
Pagina 145 - Harley, when we were turned out of South-hill, I am sure you would have wept at the sight. You remember old Trusty, my shag house-dog ; I shall never forget it while I live ; the poor creature was blind with age, and could scarce crawl after us to the door ; he went however as far as the gooseberry-bush ; which you may remember stood on the left side of the yard ; he was wont to bask in the sun there; when he had reached that spot, he stopped; we went on : I called to him ; he wagged his tail, but...
Pagina 139 - ... of two roads which diverged from the point where it was placed. A rock, with some dangling wild flowers, jutted out above where the soldier lay; on which grew the stump of a large tree, white with age, and a single twisted branch shaded his face as he slept. His face had the marks of manly comeliness impaired by time; his forehead was not altogether bald, but its hairs might have been numbered ; while a few white locks behind crossed the brown of his neck with a contrast the most venerable to...
