It is a touching picture; but its pathos becomes somewhat embarrassing when you enter the cell, and see the impossibility of taking more than three generous paces without turning. The thoughts of Tasso are now all in my mind and heart." "A short time after his departure from Ferrara," adds the Frenchman, maliciously, "he composed his 'Lament of Tasso, a mediocre result from such inspiration."
"Arthur Burton seems to be quite fascinated. I never supposed that he fancied Maud Elliott before, did you?" said one of the young ladies, a little maliciously, to Ella Perry. Ella tossed her head and replied that really she had never troubled herself about Mr. Burton's fancies, which was not true. The fact is, she was completely puzzled as well as vexed by Arthur's attentions to Maud. There was not a girl in her set of whom she would not sooner have thought as a rival. Arthur had never, to her knowledge, talked for five minutes together with Maud before, and here he was spending half the evening in an engrossing tête-

Servien, who told it maliciously to the Cardinal, who made a jest of it, as he had reason to do, but he took notice of it, for which I cannot blame him. In 1645 I was invited, as a diocesan, to the assembly of the clergy, which, I may truly say, was the rock whereon the little share of favour I had at Court was cast away.
Lali hesitated, and then said, a little maliciously: "Marion, will you come to my wigwam?" Marion ran to her, caught her about the waist, and replied gaily: "Yes, we will have a pow-wow is that right is pow-wow right?" The Indian girl shook her head with a pretty vagueness, and vanished with them.
"The story! the story!" exclaimed several, who were amused by the incoherent chattering of the artist. "Here it is," said the latter, sitting upright in his char, and paying no heed to his friend's warnings. "The scene takes place in a little court in Germany Eh!" said he, looking at Gerfaut and maliciously winking his eye "do you not think that is glossed over?"
The small creature's eyes twinkled maliciously as he glanced up at me. "Ho," he said contemptuously, "'twasn't no trick to fool him. But I didn't know he was your friend. If I had, I'd 'a' let him alone." I deserved the taunt, of course, but I winced a little at Godfrey's chuckle. "You'd fool the devil himself, Jemmy," said his captor.
