Side 204 - And were to deliver a speech full of sordid and base sentiments, you would be hissed. But let any other woman, with half your powers, arise and utter sentiments sweet and womanly, or honest and lofty, — and applause would flow from every lip, and tears rush to many a worldly eye. The true proof of the inherent nobleness of our common nature is in the sympathy it betrays with what is noble wherever crowds are collected. Never believe the world is base ; if it were so, no society could hold together...
Side 79 - But I hope that time may not come." " I hope so too, and most sincerely," said the minister, with deliberate, and genuine emphasis. " What could be so bad for the country ? " ejaculated Randal. " It does not seem to me possible, in the nature of things, that you and your party should ever go out ! " " And when we are once out, there will be plenty of wiseacres to say it is out of the nature of things that we should ever come in again. Here we are at the door.
Side 269 - I wish you'd mind the child, — it is crumpling up and playing almighty smash with that flim-flam book, which cost me one pound one." Mrs. Avenel submissively bowed her head, and removed the Annual from the hands of the young destructive; the destructive set up a squall, as destructives usually do when they don't have their own way.
Side 196 - Giacomo had lodged his convoy in a publichouse, where he quitted them, drinking his health over unlimited rations of grog, your inestimable servant quietly shipped on board the Italians pressed into the service, and Frank took charge of the English sailors. "The Prince, promising to be on board in due time, then left me to make arrangements for his journey to Vienna with the dawn.
Side 49 - Now that I am fairly in the heart of my story, these preliminary chapters must shrink into comparatively small dimensions, and not encroach upon the space required by the various personages whose acquaintance I have picked up here and there, and who are now all crowding upon me like poor relations to whom one has unadvisedly given a general invitation, and who descend upon one simultaneously about Christmas time. Where they are to be stowed, and what is to become of them all, Heaven knows ; in the...
Side 307 - It is not an uncommon crotchet amongst benevolent men to maintain that wickedness is necessarily a sort of insanity, and that nobody would make a violent start out of the straight path unless stung to such disorder by a bee in his bonnet. Certainly when some very clever, well-educated person like our friend, Randal Leslie, acts upon the fallacious principle that "roguery is the best policy...
Side 52 - CHAPTER II. IT had not been without much persuasion on the part of Jackeymo, that Riccabocca had consented to settle himself in the house which Randal had recommended to him. Not that the exile conceived any suspicion of the young man beyond that which he might have shared with Jackeymo, viz., that Randal's interest in the father was increased by a very natural and excusable admiration of the daughter. But the Italian had the pride common to misfortune, — he did not like to be indebted to others,...
Side 158 - Philus," saith a Latin writer, "was not so rich as Lselius; Lselius was not so rich as Scipio; Scipio was not so rich as Crassus; and Crassus was not so rich — as he wished to be!" If John Bull were once contented, Manchester might shut up its mills. It is the "little more" that makes a mere trifle of the National Debt!
Side 64 - It was no less desirable to Randal to know, and even win the confidence of, this man — his rival. The two met at Madame di Negra's house. There is something very strange, and almost mesmerical, in the rapport between two evil natures. Bring two honest men together, and it is ten to one if they recognise each other as honest; differences in temper, manner, even politics, may make each misjudge the other. But bring together two men, unprincipled and perverted — men who, if born in a cellar, would...
Side 351 - We lose them the moment we attempt to bind. Their love, 'Light as air, at sight of human ties. Spreads its light wings , and in a moment flies...
