Ha, ha, ha! how I have been dreaming! I wish I had not been awoke from my reverie, it was pleasant. The letter just read indicates, if it does not clearly tell, the changes that have taken place in my life; and it is only necessary to say that one morning, a few months ago, when my servant brought me some summer honey and a glass of milk to my bedside, she handed me an unpleasant letter.
How poorly the food was cooked, how unappetizing was the serving! When the maid had removed the dishes, Barbara continued her reverie, and even her father had never gazed into vacancy with such gloomy earnestness. What would she now have given for a mother, a reliable, faithful confidante!
Her heart was touched, her spirits gained strength, her soul seemed in a loftier and purer atmosphere. "Poor, but virtuous-virtue ennobles the poor. Once gone, the world never gives it back!" she muses, and is awakened from her reverie by a sweet, sympathizing voice, whispering in her ear. "Woman! you are in trouble, linger no longer here, or you will fall into the hands of your enemies."
"They don't go well with port, and Portia adores port," says Mr. Browne, hospitably, smiling blandly at her as he speaks. She returns his smile with one of deep reproach. "Eh? No, do you really?" asks Sir Christopher, waking as if by magic from his distasteful reverie. "Then, my dear, I can recommend this. Very old. Very fruity. Just what your poor father used to like."
It originated in a peculiarity of Monica's behaviour at luncheon. She ate scarcely anything; she seemed hurried, frequently glancing at the clock; and she lost herself in reverie.

Even if there are visitors coming to the Manor, I'm sure the captain doesn't care. He is not like us who never see anybody. Are you, Captain Bertram?" "I beg your pardon," said the captain, waking put of a reverie into which he had sunk. "Did you speak, Miss Bell?" he continued, turning with a little courteous movement, which vastly became him, towards the enamored Matty.
Her genius lives on in the Gothic race, deep, penetrating, and all-informing, and in the picked valour of that race, which for six hundred years spends itself in forging England, it is deepest, most penetrating, and all-informing. Roman definiteness of thought and act were in that nation touched by mysticism to reverie and compassion.
"And what says the doctor?" asked Captain Dall, turning to Will Osten with an inquiring look. "Eh? well, ah!" exclaimed Will, who had been in a reverie, "I I don't exactly see my way to that is if we only could find out if she is is to remain here always, or hopes some day to return to England " Poor Will stopped in sudden confusion and blushed, but as it was very dark that did not matter much.
Ruskin's alertness to the effect on ethical life of a scientific world-picture empty of all qualitative values led him to write: 'It is in raising us from the first state of inactive reverie to the second of useful thought, that scientific pursuits are to be chiefly praised.
Dave had never thought much on that point before, but now it struck him as so obvious that none could fail to see its logic. The charm of bachelorhood was a myth which only needed contact with the gentle atmosphere of feminine affection to be exposed. The Chinese boy coughed deferentially, and Dave was recalled from his reverie. He took his hat and coat and went into the street.
