Suositut otteet
Sivu 32 - Melancholy streets in a penitential garb of soot, steeped the souls of the people who were condemned to look at them out of windows, in dire despondency. In every thoroughfare, up almost every alley, and down almost every turning, some doleful bell was throbbing, jerking, tolling, as if the plague were in the city and the dead-carts were going round.
Sivu 79 - What her pitiful look saw, at that early time, in her father, in her sister, in her brother, in the gaol ; how much or how little of the wretched truth it pleased God to make visible to her ; lies hidden with many mysteries. It is enough that she was inspired to be something which was not what the rest were, and to be that something, different and laborious, for the sake of the rest.
Sivu 191 - Garden, as having all those arches in it, where the miserable children in rags among whom she had just now passed, like young rats, slunk and hid, fed on offal, huddled together for warmth, and were hunted about (look to the rats, young and old, all ye Barnacles, for before God they are eating away our foundations, and will bring the roofs on our heads...
Sivu 80 - ... its anxieties and shames. At thirteen she could read and keep accounts — that is, could put down in words and figures how much the bare necessaries that they wanted would cost, and how much less they had to buy them with. She had been, by snatches of a few weeks at a time, to an evening school outside, and got her sister and brother sent to day-schools by desultory starts, during three or four years. There was no instruction for any of them at home; but she knew well — no one better — that...
Sivu 62 - Itself a close and confined prison for debtors, it contained within it a much closer and more confined jail for smugglers. Offenders against the revenue laws, and defaulters to excise or customs, who ! had incurred fines which they were unable to pay, were supposed to be incarcerated behind an iron-plated door, closing up a second prison, consisting of a strong cell or two, and a blind alley some yard and a half wide, which forjned the mysterious termination of the very limited skittle-ground in...
Sivu 207 - Strange, if the little sick-room fire were in effect a beacon fire, summoning some one, and that the most unlikely some one in the world, to the spot that must be come to. Strange, if the little sick-room light were in effect a watch-light, burning in that place every night until an appointed event should be watched out! Which of the vast multitude of travellers, under the sun and the stars, climbing the dusty hills and toiling along the weary plains, journeying by land and journeying by sea, coming...
Sivu 291 - Harley-Street establishment while Little Dorrit was stitching at her father's new shirts by his side that night ; and there were magnates from the Court and magnates from the City, magnates from the Commons and magnates from the Lords, magnates from the Bench and magnates from the Bar, Bishop magnates, Treasury magnates, Horse Guards magnates, Admiralty magnates, — all the magnates that keep us going, and sometimes trip us up. " I am told," said Bishop magnate to Horse Guards,
Sivu 26 - In our course through life we shall meet the people who are coming to meet us, from many strange places and by many strange roads,' was the composed reply, 'and what it is set to us to do to them, as what it is set to them to do to us, will all be done.
Sivu 384 - Wildernesses of corner houses, with barbarous old porticoes and appurtenances; horrors that came into existence under some wrong-headed person in some wrong-headed time, still demanding the blind admiration of all ensuing generations, and determined to do so until they tumbled down; frowned upon the twilight.
