Pàgina 382 - We're their slaves as long as we can work; we pile up their fortunes with the sweat of our brows, and yet we are to live as separate as if we were in two worlds ; ay, as separate as Dives and Lazarus, with a great gulf betwixt us : but I know who was best off then," and he wound up his speech with a low chuckle that had no mirth in it.

Pàgina 285 - Fezziwigs, beaming and lovable. In came the six young followers whose hearts they broke. In came all the young men and women employed in the business. In came the housemaid, with her cousin the baker. In came the cook, with her brother's particular friend the milkman. In...
Pàgina 218 - All my affections and passions got twined and knotted up in it, and I became as haggard as a murderer, long before I wrote "The End." When I had done that, like "The man of Thessaly...
Pàgina 530 - Two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding, are fed by a different food, are ordered by different manners, and are not governed by the same laws.
Pàgina 458 - There's blood on your pointer's feet; There's blood on the game you sell, squire, And there's blood on the game you eat. ' You have sold the labouring-man, squire, Body and soul to shame, To pay for your seat in the House, squire, And to pay for the feed of your game.
