الصفحة 92 - They are as venomous as the poison of a serpent, even like the deaf adder, that stoppeth her ears; 5 Which refuseth to hear the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely.
الصفحة 409 - Craigenputtock, an outlook from the back windows into more leafy regions, with here and there a red highpeaked old roof looking through, and see nothing of London except by day the summits of St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, and by night the gleam of the great Babylon, affronting the peaceful skies.
الصفحة 12 - ... day, on the lot which it has pleased Providence to assign me: my Husband is so kind! so, in all respects, after my own heart! I was sick one day, and he nursed me as well as my own Mother could have done, and he never says a hard word to me — unless I richly deserve it.

الصفحة 168 - We are in the place of hope. Our life is a hope. But far better than all reasonings for cheerfulness is the diligence I use in following my daily business. For the last three weeks I have been writing by task-work again, and get along wonderfully well. What it is to be I cannot yet tell — whether a book or a string of magazine articles.

الصفحة 498 - ... tight, as it were, all round the region of the heart, and strange dreams haunting me. However, I was not without good thoughts too, that came like healing life into me ; and I got it somewhat reasonably crushed down. I have got back my spirits, and hope I shall go on tolerably. I was for writing to you next day after it happened, but Jane suggested it would only grieve you till I could say it was in the way towards adjustment.
الصفحة 44 - The little Jewel of Advocates was at his post. I accosted him, and, with a little explanation, was cheerfully recognised. ' The Article — where is the Article ? ' seemed to be the gist of his talk to me : for he was to all appearance anxious that I would undertake...
الصفحة 38 - Blacklock had retired to the Bank for fifteen minutes; the whirlwind was sleeping for that brief season, and I smoking my pipe in grim repose, when Alick came back with your messenger. No I do not love you in the least; only a little sympathy and admiration, and a certain esteem; nothing more! — O my dear best wee woman! — But I will not say a word of all this, till I whisper it in your ear with my arms round you.
الصفحة 128 - Mary; smoke my last pipe with them; and so end the day, having done little good perhaps, [but] almost no ill that I could help to any creature of God's. So pass our days; except that sometimes I stroll (with my axe or bill) in the plantations; and when I am not writing, am reading.
