Alluding to an entry in the Journal, that he had expended 30s. in the purchase of the Theatre of God's Judgment, 1612, a book which is still in the Abbotsford Library. See note to May 30, 1827, vol. i. p. 398. Burns's lines To a Mouse. Ante, p. 60. The book had only been published two months. "The Second Series," when published in the following year, contained St.
Peeping into the hall, he saw Iris opening the door, and stole back to his room. "The devil take her!" he said, alluding to Miss Henley, and thinking of the enviable proprietor of the diamond pin.

She was determined not to repeat the same mistake, and she flattered herself that her coming novel would not need an episcopal denunciation to insure its sale, however likely it was to receive this crowning evidence of success.
Perhaps it may thus be understood to imprecate death upon you or some member of your house alluding to the superstition of rooks hovering over the habitations of the sick, when the malady with which they are afflicted is known to be fatal. Indeed, the latter must certainly be the meaning of it, as is evident from the proverb of "Die, an' give the crow a puddin'."

"Who could dream she was so deceitful?" says Dulce, tearfully, alluding to the unhappy Portia. "I never once even suspected the real truth.
