Sivu 34 - ... out of it, by a hum, which, though rather monotonous, is as agreeable to my ear, as the whistling of my linnets. All the sounds that nature utters are delightful, at least in this country.

Several times, a considerable number — even since I followed her to the tomb, a momentary suggestion of thought has been, as one and another circumstance has occurred, " I will tell Maria of this." Even this very day, when I parted with Dr. Stenson, who out of pure kindness accompanied me a long stage on the road, there was actually for a transient instant a lapse of mind into the idea of telling her how very kind...
Sivu 58 - No need now to tremble for the hard frost and the keen wind. Emily does not feel them. She died in a time of promise. We saw her taken from life in its prime. But it is God's will, and the place where she is gone is better than that she has left. "God has sustained me, in a way that I marvel at, through such agony as I had not conceived.
