The theatrical season was already on the wane; each day Broadway's pavements in the immediate vicinity of Forty-second Street became more congested with lean-looking thespians, just in from "the road." The Rialto the haven of every disheartened barnstormer, the cradle of every would-be Hamlet!
But see, there is a sign-post yonder, we will take advantage of it." "Augh! and your honour's right fit for the forty-second;" said the Corporal, falling back; and in a few moments he and his charger found themselves, to their mutual delight, entering the yard of a small, but comfortable-looking inn.
Given under my hand, at the city of Washington, this 28th day of April, A.D. 1818, and of the Independence of the United States the forty-second. By the President: John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State.
He had entered upon his forty-second year when he sent his first paper to the Philosophical Transactions; yet during the ensuing thirty-nine years his contributions many of them elaborate treatises numbered sixty-nine, forming a series of extraordinary importance to the history of astronomy.

Her face was pale, of an ivory pallor that gleamed in sharp contrast with the ebony of her lustrous hair.
For your rejuvenated wife has attained what must be called the Indian Summer of women; she nurses, she has a full breast of milk! Her complexion is fresh, her color is pure pink and white. In her forty-second year, she affects the young woman, buys little baby stockings, walks about followed by a nurse, embroiders caps and tries on the cunningest headdresses.
"My train leaves at six, from Forty-Second Street," he replied. "Oh, you are niggardly," she cried. "To think how little I see of you, Peter. And sometimes I long for you. It's strange, but I still miss you terribly after five years. It seems longer than that," she added, as she poured the boiling water into the tea-pot. But she did not look at him.
