He was busily engaged, endeavouring to count the stars, when that most worthy spinster backed against him and sent him sprawling. She did not even feel the rencontre; it was like an iron-clad coming in collision with a fishing-smack. The little parish school-boy was none the less irritated.
Johnson received him with much courteousness, and talked a great deal to him, as to a school-boy, of the course of his education, and other particulars. When he afterwards came to know and understand the high character of this great man, he recollected his condescension with wonder. He added, that when he was going away, Mr. Johnson presented him with half-a-guinea; and this, said Mr.
It is the whole life the child life, the school-boy life, the college life and the adult, responsible life in the world and as a family head of a real flesh-and-blood, actualized Tom Brown; and it stands out depicted with an intense naturalness of coloring that charms one more than the laborious effects of imaginative biography.
Mrs Potts took the opportunity of escaping by the door, beckoning to her husband as soon as she was outside. "And I will go and decant the wine. Quite in the family way, Mr Rainscourt no ceremony. You'll excuse me," continued the curate, as he obeyed the summons of his wife, like a school-boy ordered up to be birched. "Well, my dear," interrogated Mr Potts, humbly, as soon as the door was closed.

C'est lui qui agace toujours monsieur le president "
"Why do I feel then as if something had happened, something disagreeable? We don't have such good times as we used to have when you sat here and told stories, and let me run on like a school-boy." "You have better company, that's all. I'm not such a fool that I can't see it. You have better times, lad, if I don't." "Then all you did for me before she came was for pity's sake!
If this be so, how comes it that while every practical physician of experience has seen many cases of anæmia and chlorosis in girls, accompanied by amenorrhæa or menorrhagia, headaches, palpitations, emaciation, and all the familiar accompaniments of breakdown, an analogous condition in a school-boy is so rare that it may well be doubted if it is ever seen at all?"
