الصفحة 55 - Count Siegendorf, in the most pointed terms, and such as bespoke him well acquainted with all that was passing at Cassel, at once renounced a son to whom it was evident no promise was sacred; "who had flattered his hopes only the more grossly to betray them ; who had sported with the name of his family again to disgrace it ; who was alive to no feeling of duty, no principle of honor ; and whom time and misfortune, far from reforming, had only taught duplicity.
الصفحة 166 - No more to learn or hide : I know no fear, And have within these very walls men who (Although you know them not) dare venture all things. You stand high with the state ; what passes here Will not excite her too great curiosity : Keep your own secret, keep a steady eye, Stir not, and...
الصفحة 165 - Listen to me !" he added, silencing the count with a savage and alarming tone : — " If your present condemnation of me be just, I have listened to you at least once too often ! — Remember who told me, when at M , that there were crimes rendered venial by the occasion : who painted the excesses of passion as the trespasses of humanity : who held the balance suspended before my eyes between the goods of fortune and those of...
الصفحة 89 - I am now in his. Are you certain that you are not so too? Who assures you he does not know you ? Who tells you that he has not lured you into his society, either to rid himself of you for ever, or to plunge you with your family into a dungeon...
الصفحة 90 - These are only the systems of my father," said he. continuing earnestly to gaze on her. " My mother thinks not with him ?" Josephine spoke not: there was an oppression at her heart that robbed her of the power. Conrad covered his face with his hand, and reclined it for a moment on her shoulder. ** Explain to me," said he, after a second pause.
الصفحة 73 - The last effort of the haron, on perceiving his situation, was to open the carriage door, and attempt to throw himself out. He had so far succeeded, that his rescue was accomplished with less difficulty than it otherwise would have been ; and though he was to all appearance lifeless, the assistance given by the strangers was not vain.
