Pagina 199 - Myself when young did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument About it and about: but evermore Came out by the same door where in I went.
Pagina 124 - Posh drove in here the day before to tan his nets : could not help making one with some old friends in a Boat-race on the Monday, and getting very fuddled with them on the Suffolk Green (where I was) at night. After all the pains I have taken, and all the real anxiety I have had. And worst of all, after the repeated promises he had made ! I said, there must now be an end of Confidence between us, so far as that was concerned, and I would so far trouble myself about him no more. But when I came to...
Pagina 124 - ... help making one with some old friends in a Boat-race on the Monday, and getting very fuddled with them on the Suffolk Green (where I was) at night. After all the pains I have taken, and all the real anxiety I have had. And worst of all, after the repeated promises he had made ! I said, there must now be an end of Confidence between us, so far as that was concerned, and I would so far trouble myself about him no more. But when I came to reflect that this was but an outbreak among old friends on...
Pagina 167 - ... desiring back my Direction to my Heirs that he should keep on the lugger in case of my Death. But I will wait for what you say about all this. I am really sorry to trouble you over and over again with the matter. But I am so fearful of blundering, where a Blunder may do so much harm. I think that Posh ought to be made to feel this severely : and, as his Wife is better, I do not mind making him feel it, if I can. On the other hand, I do not wish to drive him, by Despair, into the very fault which...
Pagina 125 - I declare that it makes me feel ashamed very much to play the Judge on one who stands immeasurably above me in the scale, whose faults are better than so many virtues. Was not this very outbreak that of a great genial Boy among his old Fellows ? True, a Promise was broken. Yes : but if the Whole Man be of the Royal Blood of Humanity, and do Justice in the Main, what are the people to say ? He thought, if he thought at all, that he kept his promise in the main. But there is no use talking : unless...
Pagina 53 - I believe I have smoked my Pipe every evening but one with Posh at his house, which his quiet little Wife keeps tidy and pleasant. The Man is, I do think, of a Royal Nature. I have told him he is liable to one Danger (the Hare with many Friends) — so many wanting him to drink.
Pagina 91 - Berry very kindly introduced among them. I am at my Don Quixote again ; and really only sorry that I can read it so much more easily this year than last that I shall be all the sooner done with it. Mackerel still come in very slow, sometimes none at all : the dead-calm nights play the deuce with the Fishing, and I see no prospect of change in the weather till the Mackerel shall be changing their Quarters. I am vexed to see the Lugger come in Day after day so poorly stored after all the Labour and...
Pagina 28 - I believe you to be. Only, whether you do well or ill, show me all above-board, as I really think you have done; and do not let a poor old, solitary, and sad Man (as I really am, in spite of my Jokes), do not, I say, let me waste my Anxiety in vain. I thought I had done with new Likings : and I had a more easy Life perhaps on that account : now I shall often think of you with uneasiness, for the very reason that I have so much Liking and Interest for you.
Pagina 60 - Ship — cool and sequestered enough, to be sure — with no Company but my Crew of Two, and my other — Captain of the Lugger now a-building : a Fellow I never tire of studying — If he should turn out knave, I shall have done with all Faith in my own Judgment : and if he should go to the Bottom of the Sea in the Lugger — I sha'n't cry for the Lugger.
