Sivu 154 - Wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
Sivu 154 - DEARLY beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony...
Sivu 40 - ... Before her stood a gentleman, considerably below the middle height, and in form delicate almost to fragility, but whose appearance was redeemed from aught of feebleness by a lionlike head, and features which, classically chiselled, told of a mental force and will rarely allotted. The hair, whose grey was almost whiteness, was long and luxuriant, and fell back from a noble forehead. The eye, set back under a bold, strong brow, yet in itself somewhat prominent, was in repose, but its depths were...
Sivu 40 - The eye, set back under a bold, strong brow, yet in itself somewhat prominent, was in repose, but its depths were those that, under excitement, light up to a glow. About the flexible mouth there lingered a smile, too gentle to be called mocking, but evidence of a humour ready at the slightest call — and yet the lips could frame themselves for stern or passionate utterances at need. The slight stoop was at first taken by Margaret for part of the bow with which the stranger had greeted her, but she...
Sivu 40 - Fine diamonds in a fine casket there, are there not?" His tone was evidently intended to put Margaret at her ease, and to make her forget that she had been surprised ; and his manner was so pleasant, and almost fatherly, that she felt herself in the presence of some one of a kindred nature to that of her Uncle Cheriton. By a curious confusion of idea, to be explained only by the suddenness of the introduction, Margaret seized the notion that her other uncle was before her. I am sorry, however, to...
Sivu 98 - Madam, shall I tell you what I am going to say ? I do not positively know, but, as near as I can guess, I cannot tell, though I firmly do believe, there is not one I Q.
Sivu 56 - Avenger roasting his father's murderer, and went sulkily to the window to gaze on the plebeians, and to wish that he had not risen from the ranks. Then nobler thoughts came over him ; he remembered his salary, and the occasional order for the Adelphi from his good-natured masters, and he went back to the half-cooked assassin. who was being so signally served out by filial retribution. But the principal chamber was a pleasant one, handsomely carpeted, pictured from various collections, and not without...
Sivu 152 - The other end of the rope is hooked to the chain on the beam, and all the men in black, save three, have retreated to the passage, leaving the platform to the three. One of these, the short man, produces a large white cap, draws it quickly over the whole head of the pinioned man, and disappears. He is gone below the platform, I know, though I cannot see him ; and has got hold of a large handle which can withdraw three bolts at once. But two men remain in presence of the mighty crowd, and one is the...
Sivu 41 - Just a few songsters, as the bird-catchers put some caged-birds near the nets, to persuade the others that the situation is eligible. But," he continued, turning on until he came to a drawing, " this is another kind of thing. This is capital." It was a sketch by Margaret, and represented her Cousin Latimer, in shooting costume, and gun in hand. At his feet lay a hare, victim of his skill. " Capital," he repeated. " Your own work ?" " Yes," said Margaret ; " the likeness happened to be thought fortunate,...
Sivu 41 - I am glad of any contribution." He took a pen, and, in a curious little hand wrote below the sketch : " And beauty draws us with a single hare." "I shall not find any poetry of yours, here," he said. "You read Mrs. Browning, and so you know better. What a treasure-house of thought that woman is ! Some of the boxes are locked, and you must turn the key with a will ; but when you have opened, you are rich for life.
