In this way I have got over between twenty and thirty miles of road which were tramped in the dark, and the description of which would have plagued you worse than a swarm of hornets. A new day has come, and the sun has risen over the detestable parched hillocks of this downward way. No, no, Lector!
"I haven't the faintest conception," she laughed, mockingly. "I believe you said that to me some time ago," he said. "I wish I could love," she said lightly. "But I suppose the chance is forever lost if I am doomed to stay on this island all my life." His smile was understood by the night. A fever of queer emotions plagued Hugh's mind as he sought sleep that night.
Pécuchet caught one of them in the act, and exclaimed, while pushing him out by the shoulders: "Wretch! You are a disgrace to the village that gave you birth!" His presence inspired no respect. Moreover, he was plagued with the garden. All his time would not have sufficed to keep it in order. Bouvard was occupied with the farm. They took counsel and decided on this arrangement.
It has but one church, though very large and with a stately high spire, built near the north gate by Herbert, Bishop of Norwich.’ In only one respect the Yarmouth of to-day resembles that of Camden’s time. Then the north wind played the tyrant and plagued the coast, and it does so still.
One who saw him receive the nomination says, "I then thought him one of the most diffident and most plagued of men I ever saw." We may depend upon it, however, that his diffidence of manner was accompanied by no reluctance of heart. The splendid prize which he had won had been the object of his passionate desire.

Emma won't cry. Emma won't tell mamma!" "Oh! my poor little girl!" "On hearing these words the boy took to his heels he ran and ran till he fell down senseless in the wood. There some swine-herds found him as they were gathering beech-mast, and since then he has been plagued by a burning fever-fit." "It is like a frightful nightmare."

"Right about, march!" said the hero. "Ay, that's the word, Attie," said Gentleman George. "And now, Mr.
Whether she was in her chemise or in full dress did not matter. She would come back to the count red all over, happy at having cheated him. As for him, he was plagued to death; it was an abominable infliction! In his jealous anguish the unhappy man was comparatively at peace when he left Nana and Satin alone together. He would have willingly urged her on to this vice, to keep the men off her.
You have brought me neither comfort nor performance; and now you come seeing among Danaans, and saying that Apollo has plagued us because I would not take a ransom for this girl, the daughter of Chryses. I have set my heart on keeping her in my own house, for I love her better even than my own wife Clytemnestra, whose peer she is alike in form and feature, in understanding and accomplishments.
