Pagina 116 - I can never be sure of his not being overtaken so. 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?
Pagina 121 - 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 I have so tried to cure him of.
Pagina 84 - Inn at Covehithe, still called after some former Sign of a Wild Man, or Black Boy, I suppose. NEW MOON. When first seen, be sure to turn your money over in your pocket by way of making it grow there; provided always that you see her face to face, not through a glass (window) — for, in that case, the Charm works the wrong way. " I see the little Dear this Evening, and give my money a twister; there was n't much, but I roused her about.
Pagina 57 - Kiss me, mother dear; yeou're a good mother to me.' They din't see me, so I crep' down-stairs, but it made me werry comforble. " Susan's bed laa close to the wall, so that she could alluz make us know at night if she wanted anything by jest knockin'.
