Stran 1 - And slight withal may be the things which bring Back on the heart the weight which it would fling Aside for ever: it may be a sound — A tone of music— summer's eve — or spring — A flower — the wind — the ocean — which shall wound, Striking the electric chain wherewith we are darkly bound ; XXIV.
Stran 74 - On his bold visage middle age Had slightly pressed its signet sage, Yet had not quenched the open truth, And fiery vehemence of youth ; Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare, The sparkling glance, soon blown to fire, Of hasty love, or headlong ire.
Stran 36 - Endearing, gen'rous, bountiful and kind ; Vain, fanciful, and fond of worthless praise ; Courteous and gentle, proud and magnificent : And yet these adverse qualities in thee, No dissonance, nor striking contrast make ; For still thy good and amiable gifts The sober dignity of virtue wear not, And such a 'witching mien thy follies show, They make a very idiot of reproof, And smile it to disgrace.
Stran 70 - Why, to be sure, a tale of scandal is as fatal to the credit of a prudent lady of her stamp as a fever is generally to those of the strongest constitutions.
Stran 119 - LET no one say that there is need Of time for love to grow ; Ah no ! the love that kills indeed Dispatches at a blow. The spark which but by slow degrees Is nursed into a flame, Is habit, friendship, what you please ; But love is not its name. For love to be completely true, It death at sight should deal, Should be the first one ever knew, In short, be that I feel.
Stran 188 - Of course Trevelyan smiled applause at this bon-mot of Lord Ladbrook's first cousin, and, never having thought upon the subject of select society himself, he had nothing whatever to say in contradiction to what had been advanced ; but, before we proceed any further, it may be as well to explain who Mr. Hopkins and his honourable relict were. We begin with the latter. Mrs. Hopkins was the only child of a rich citizen, and, having when quite a girl eloped from her boarding-school with the younger son...
Stran 85 - It was carrying her kindness, as you call it, rather far," said Sir Henry, again eagerly interrupting him; " and, if I had been you, I never would have allowed Miss Trevelyan to have had any thing to do with the girl ostensibly : calling her Howard, too, marks the thing so much : why, on the whole, I am not sure whether it would not have been better to have given her the name of Trevelyan, and let the world suppose she was your daughter ; though, to be sure," added Sir Henry laughing, " you would...
Stran 176 - ... Philanders, hares nor heroes, — have we, Miss Howard? Sad dull place, Richmond; no such thing as a lover to be had for love or money ;" and he again turned to Theresa to confirm the truth of his statement, laughing in much enjoyment at the embarrassment which his fancied wit occasioned. " By the by though, I have good news for you ; there is going to be a general rising of belles and beaux, for we are forthwith to have a ball at the Star and Garter, so at least says Mrs. Hopkins; but you may...
Stran 164 - Ah! wherefore should my tongue alone be mute ? When every look and every motion tell, So plainly tell, and will not be forbid, That I adore thee, love thee, worship thee ! (Victoria looks haughty and displeased.) Ah ! pardon me, I know not what I say. Ah ! frown not thus ! I cannot see thee frown. I'll do whate'er thou wilt, I will be silent...
Stran 182 - ... and therefore the smallest circumstance will be news to me. You must keep account of all your partners, and of all the pretty things they say to you, and also of whom Frederick flirts with, in short tell me every thing." At that instant the welcome sound of the door-bell announcing Lady Williams's arrival was heard. Theresa sprang from her seat, and, giving her dear Treevy a hasty, but, if possible, even a more than usually tender embrace, she took her guardian's proffered arm, and they hurried...
