We all willingly throw ourselves back for awhile into the feelings of our childhood. This ballad, therefore, we read under such recollections of our own childish feelings, as would equally endear to us poems, which Mr. Wordsworth himself would regard as faulty in the opposite extreme of gaudy and technical ornament. Mr.
"I daresay the play may be very bad," she said, "but it can hardly be so bad as real life." Lizzie, when Lord George had left her, crept up-stairs, and sat for awhile thinking of her condition, with the key of her desk in her hand. Should there come a knock at the door, the case of diamonds would be in her pocket in a moment.
I had read much of him and was looking for an older man. He received me kindly: he had a fine dignity and gentle manners. Somewhere he had read of that scrape of mine the last one there among the Avengers. He gave my hand a squeeze and my sword a compliment I have not yet forgotten, assuring me of his pleasure that I was to be with him awhile. The greeting over, we rowed away to the Lawrence.
The Mayor also presented him from the town a very rich Bible, which he took and said it was the thing that he loved above all things in the world, a canopy was provided for him to stand under, which he did, and talked awhile with General Monk and others, and so into a stately coach there set for him, and so away through the towne towards Canterbury, without making any stay at Dover.
There was something so novel, so sleepy, so harmless, so mediaeval, in the Flemish life, that it soothed him.

But he knew that they couldn't have done it. "We had to let you sweat it out. You made us promise not to tell you anything, and we thought you might be right," Ellen told him. "We thought that it might adjust after awhile. All we did was to try to pick you up, until we knew it was impossible." "Until Sis tipped off the Government men," Dan added.
"We can guess who is willing to buy that bill from you for a bonus. The man will be as eager to buy next week as this." The man looked shrewdly into the eyes of the two boys for a moment, then, with a shrug of his shoulders, turned away, saying: "I guess this can wait awhile." The boys, after a brief call in the office, went on to town. Mr.

We were chatting away, discussing the matter, when the shells commenced flying as thick as peas in a pod; so swift and smashing was the fusillade that for awhile I thought hell's gate had opened wide.
After this we walked in silence awhile, for when I would have told her whither we were going and why, I could not, try how I would. "Barbara was telling me how she first met you and Anthony; she is very beautiful, don't ye think, Peregrine?" "Very!" "So beautiful that I wonder you didn't fall in love wi' her."
