"Well; yes; but when I've had a petticoat flounced particularly to order I don't like to see it ill-treated. There are emotions of the heart which money can't touch." "Just so; emotions of the heart! That's the very phrase." She was determined if possible to prevent a repetition of the scene which had taken place up at Mrs. de Bever's temple. "All my emotions are about my dress." "All?"
What had the young man meant by this emphatic repetition of his former suggestion? That he would be quiet, also, and not speak of what he had seen? Why, then But to the hope thus given, this honest-hearted gentleman would yield no quarter, and seeing a duty before him, a duty he dare not shirk, he brought his emotions, violent as they were, into complete and absolute subjection, and, opening Mr.

The queen heard her without exhibiting the least sign of emotion, and all she would vouchsafe, was a repetition of these words "You desired no answer, and you shall have none;" alluding to an expression in a letter she had received from the duchess.
Sir John BARNARD rose up hereupon, and opposed this motion in terms to the following effect: Sir, the end of punishment is to prevent a repetition of the same crime, both in the offender, and in those who may have the same inclinations; and when that end is accomplished, all farther severities have an appearance rather of cruelty than justice.
