Sivu 12 - Compared indeed with a masquerade, where all the mysteries of intrigue are practised, or a fashionable ball, where nakedness stares us in the face, the country hop may be perfectly innocent and pure ; but still it must be low, vulgar, and indecent, as a matter of course, because the dancers are not fashionable people, nor the dances, decorations, and music, such as would be tolerated by a fashionable amateur. If we trace this vulgar error, for vulgar it seems to us, in the highest degree, we shall...
Sivu 12 - ... heard two smart young fellows pronounce the novel vulgar, the characters low, and the incidents commonplace. After reflection he reached this explanation of their difference in opinion : "With certain people, perhaps a large portion of those who read novels, every thing which is not fashionable is vulgar. A worthy farmer or mechanic, in a clean white frock, and thicksoled shoes is vulgar, and therefore ought not to be introduced into a novel. In short, with this class of readers and critics,...
Sivu 15 - ... country tavern. So also when, as in a late popular work of a justly celebrated author, the reader is introduced to a court, and presented with pictures the most immoral and corrupt; with titled pimps and prostitute duchesses ; With a parent seeking to compass the purposes of revenge, by placing an only daughter in the power of a systematic seducer and voluptuary — not the rank of the actors, the splendours of a VOL.
Sivu 83 - Shadrach the sin of having touched the • red lip of Christina. CHAPTER V. " Most heart-commanding faced gentlewoman, even as the stone in India called basilinus hurts all that look on it, and as the serpent in Arabia called smaragdus delighteth the sight, so does thy celestial, orb-assimilating eyes both please, and, pleasing, pain my love-darted heart.
Sivu 25 - There was a man and he had naught, And robbers came to rob him ; He crept up to the chimney top, And then they thought they had him. But he got down on t'other side, And then they could not find him : He ran fourteen miles in fifteen days, And never look'd behind him.
Sivu 38 - There was not a cloud to be seen in the sky, and this circumstance occasioned the thunderclap to have the appearance of something altogether supernatural. The fiends who carried the lighted brands to fire the funeral piles, involuntarily paused, and the Indian maid, taking advantage of the moment, cried out : " Hark ! the Great Spirit bears testimony against this deed. You heard his voice in the air. It came not from the clouds, for there is not a cloud in the skies. It is the great Master of life...
Sivu 69 - Langfanger's policy was that of pulling down an old market, and building a new one in another part of the village, in the management of which business he is supposed to have laid down the first principles of the great and thriving science of political economy, or picking people's pockets on a great scale. He caused the people living near the old market to pay roundly for its removal as a nuisance ; and then he caused the people that lived about where the new one was to be built, to pay roundly for...
Sivu 185 - Koningsmarke solemnly assured her that he was not hurt, and that his arm was arrested by her voice, just in time to save his life. " And such is thy love for me !" said Christina; "thou couldst not endure a little for one who would suffer all for thee." " Any thing but stripes and brands. Couldst thou, dear Christina, bear to link thy fate with that of a man who bore on his back the scars of disgrace, and on his brow the brand of indelible infamy ?"
Sivu 190 - Thou earnest a sign, which to others may be the emblem of salvation, but which to thee, sooner or later, shall be the signal of disgrace and condemnation. I will remember thee.
Sivu 45 - Moneypenny, followed by eight or ten others, dressed in broad-brimmed bats, with their arms folded upon their bosoms, were distinguished, walking, with slow and steady pace, towards the spot occupied by the old men of the tribes. They were accompanied by others, bearing a variety of articles of Indian trade. They came in peace, and they were received in peace by the sons of the shade. •
