Sivu 51 - WHILE Dan Cupid was shooting his arrows with such effect from the windows of the prison, to those of the palace, and so back again, the Heer Piper and Madam Edith were taken up with other weighty affairs, that prevented any interference with the young people on their part.
Sivu 128 - ... mixed imperceptibly with ether. Scarce was the sun above the horizon, >when the village was alive with rosy boys and girls, dressed in their new suits, and going forth with such warm anticipations of happiness, as time and experience imperceptibly fritter away into languid hopes, or strengthening apprehensions.
Sivu 152 - ... the little lambs appeared frisking and gamboling about the sedate mother ; young, innocent calves began their first bleatings ; the cackling hen announced her daily feat in the barn-yard with clamorous...
Sivu 129 - Elsingburgh, gambolling and skating, sliding and tumbling, helter-skelter, and making the frost-bit ears of winter glad with the sounds of mirth and revelry.' In one place was a group playing at hurley, with crooked sticks, with which they sometimes hit the ball, and sometimes each other's shins. In another, a knot of sliders, following in a row, so that if the foremost fell, the rest were sure to tumble over him- A little farther might be seen a few, that had the good fortune to possess a pair of...
Sivu 23 - THERE was an old woman and what do you think ? She lived upon nothing but victuals and drink. Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet, And yet this old woman could never be quiet.
Sivu 151 - Now the laughing, jolly Spring began sometimes to show her buxom face in the bright morning ; but ever and anon, meeting the angry frown of Winter, loath to resign his rough sway over the wide realm of nature, she would retire again into her southern bower. Yet, though her visits were but short, her very look seemed to exercise a magic influence. The buds began slowly to expand their close winter folds ; the dark and melancholy woods to assume an almost imperceptible purple tint ; and here and there...
Sivu 129 - Dominie, who always wore his coat with four great pockets on new-year's day, came home and emptied them seven times of loads of new-year cookies. " When the gay groups had finished their rounds in the village, the ice in front was seen all alive with the small fry of Elsingburgh, gamboling and skating, sliding and tumbling, helter skelter, and making the frost-bit ears of winter glad with the sounds of mirth and revelry. In one place was a group playing at hurley, with crooked sticks, with which...
Sivu 127 - ... taking special care, however, not to outdo their host in the marvellous, a thing which always put the governor out of humour. Counsellor Langfanger talked wonderfully about public improvements ; Counsellor Varlett sung, or rather roared, a hundred verses of a song in praise of Rhenish wine ; and Othman Pfegel smoked and tippled, till he actually came to a determination of bringing matters to a crisis with the fair Christina the very next day. Such are the wonder-working powers of hot punch !...
Sivu 61 - I have .seen what I have seen. I know what I know ! " chuckled the mother. "Let some look to it. Let some be upon their guard. My gal may keep good company yet ! " Then, seeing that in the wondering earnestness with which her daughter regarded her, her hand involuntarily closed upon the money, the old woman made more speed to secure it, and hurriedly...
Sivu 125 - The holydays, those wintry blessings, which cheer the heart of young and old, and give to the gloomy depths of winter the life and spirit of laughing, jolly spring, were now near at hand. The chopping-knife gave token of goodly minced pies, and the bustle of the kitchen afforded shrewd indications of what was coming by and by. The celebration of the new year, it is well known, came originally from the northern nations of Europe, who still keep up many of the practices, amusements, and enjoyments,...
