Side 27 - Alas ! Sir, ever since I lost my husband, my poor nerves have been shook to pieces: there hangs his beloved picture; that precious relic, and a plentiful jointure, is all that remains to console me for the best of men. O'Fla. Let me see...
Side 42 - I flatter myself you will not find him totally undeserving your good opinion ; an education not of the strictest kind, and strong animal spirits, are apt sometimes to betray him into youthful irregularities ; but a high principle of honour, and an uncommon benevolence, in the eye of candour, will, I hope¡ atone for any faults, by which these good qualities are not impaired.
Side 74 - I am the offspring of distress, and every child of sorrow is my brother.
Side 5 - ... say, that, as that event has richly supplied you with the materials of bounty, the distresses of my family can furnish you with objects of it.
Side 31 - BEL. Then, depend upon it, these are not the only trinkets she means to dedicate to Captain Dudley. As for me, Stockwell indeed wants me to marry, but till I can get this bewitching girl, this incognita, out of my head, I can never think of any other woman.
Side 56 - Well, sir. CHARLES. How is it, Mr. Belcour, you have done this mean, unmanly wrong, beneath the mask of generosity to give this fatal stab to our domestic peace? You might have had my thanks, my blessing; take my defiance now. 'Tis Dudley speaks to you, the brother, the protector of that injured lady. BEL. The brother? Give yourself a truer title. CHARLES. What is't you mean?
Side 34 - Farewell advice! Away goes he upon the wing for pleasure. What various passions he awakens in me! He pains, yet pleases me; affrights, offends, yet grows upon my heart. His very failings set him off — forever trespassing, forever atoning. I almost think he would not be so perfect, were he free from fault.
Side 69 - What a recreation it is to be in love ! It sets the heart aching, so delicately, there's no taking a wink of sleep for the pleasure of the pain.
Side 59 - Alack-a-day, poor man! Well, Mr. Varland, you find me here overwhelmed with trouble and fatigue; torn to pieces with a multiplicity of affairs; a great fortune poured upon me unsought for and unexpected: 'twas my good father's will and pleasure it should be so, and I must submit. Var. Your ladyship inherits under a will made in the year forty-five, immediately after Captain Dudley's marriage with your sister.
Side 51 - ... about them, and you must clear it up. Three minutes conversation with him will put every thing in a right train. Go, go, Charles, 'tis a brother's business; about it instantly. Ten to one you'll find him over the way at Mr. Stockwell's.
