Sivu 201 - Thrice, and then buz as often ; and then come. [Exit.] FACE. Can you remember this? DAP. I warrant you. FACE. Well then, away. It is but your bestowing Some twenty nobles 'mong her grace's servants, And put on a clean shirt. You do not know What grace her grace may do you in clean linen.
Sivu 148 - House rang again with his lusty old voice, as he denounced the bad measure and the worse cabinet, and moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. The...
Sivu 163 - I'll warrant you, she is no better than she should be :" and one very wise old lady said, she ought to have been taken up. Mr. Spectator, I think this matter lies wholly before you : for the offence does not come under any law, though it is apparent this creature came among us only to give herself airs, and enjoy her full swing in being admired. I desire you...
Sivu 317 - Livingtone's farewell supper. He had also gone back to Mr. Molesworth's offices, where he was received by his principal in a careless, forgiving sort of way, Molesworth evidently regarding him as a good-natured vaurien, whom he should probably have hastened to get rid of, but for Paul's valuable relations. On the whole, Mr. Chequerbent was not very cheerfully welcomed on his return from the Hotel Jerusalem. But he could have easily borne that. He had a graver sorrow, and one with which the pretty...
Sivu 328 - Chequerbent," said the priest, busying himself with some of the breakfast arrangements, in order to let Paul get over any embarrassment which recollections might occasion, " I suppose that you and Bernard Carlyon are intimate friends, and in one another's confidence?" " Why no," said Paul, " I can't say that. It seems odd that we are not more intimate, all things considered ; but Carlyon had always a sort of mystery about him, or I fancied so, and you might go on telling him your history, and your...
Sivu 328 - What I am going to tell you is in perfect confidence, Mr. Heywood. I have formed a great respect for you, and I shall be very glad of your advice. I — you would not perhaps believe it — but my affection for that young lady is very warm and very sincere, and I received a great shock in learning that she was Lord Rookbury's daughter, and a much greater one in finding that she is legitimate.
Sivu 334 - But in the words of Mrs. Macbeth," said Paul, " ' I have screwed my courage to the sticking place,' and shall not fail. And now — who is the party whose business I am to refer to?" " It seems to me," said the priest, " that it may be convenient and even advantageous hereafter, should you be unable to charge yourself with having, to your knowledge, given any information on the subject. There may be no reason for such forethought, but you are a shrewd, keen-sighted man, and need not to be told that...
Sivu 354 - Chequerbent's ill fortune led him to the door of the mansion. It is sad to think, too, that Mr. Galton's kindness was not well rewarded ; for, on that person's returning with the materials for supper, and finding the door, which he had left ajar, closed against him, he had no resource but knocking. In this he had to persevere for a long time in vain; but at last the noise aroused the wild-beast man, who, starting up, was brought to the ground, chair and all, by Paul's device. As soon as he could...
Sivu 348 - Or if he is irresponsible," said the earl, '• his responsibility must be transferred to somebody else. There are a priest and a niece, I understand, who have charge of him. Where were they, when he was devising that infamous jest ? The death of poor Amy is chargeable upon the heads of that priest and of the girl.
Sivu 351 - Let the visit answer two purposes. Take down with you a first-rate physician, but do not let him make his errand known until he has, unobserved, examined the poor child, and until you have prepared Mrs. Wilmslow. You are not in the highest favour with Wilmslow himself.
