Sivu 97 - I walked down to Westminster Hall, and turned into it for half an hour, because my eyes were so dimmed with joy and pride, that they could not bear the street, and were not fit to be seen there.
Sivu 40 - I desire no better for my fame, when my personal dustiness shall be past the control of my love of order, than such a biographer and such a critic.
Sivu 29 - My father had left a small collection of books in a little room upstairs, to which I had access (for it adjoined my own) and which nobody else in our house ever troubled. From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphry Clinker, Tom Jones, the Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil Bias, and Robinson Crusoe, came out, a glorious host, to keep me company.
Sivu 59 - A bed and bedding were sent over for me, and made up on the floor. The little window had a pleasant prospect of a timberyard; and when I took possession of my new abode I thought it was a Paradise.
