The situation is lovely, with the sea washing in along the rounded rim of the coast, close up to the door of the inn; and on a sunny day, when the white wings of feluccas may be seen gleaming far off on the blue Mediterranean, and the fishermen are drawing their nets close into shore, it seems as if it might really be made "a voluptuous seaside retreat," but for the desolating malaria which renders it dangerous to rest there for a single night.
"She has interested herself very much in the matter of Belgian refugees and is entertaining a great many of them at a house of hers near the seaside. The man is really not fit to work, so we were very glad indeed to pass him on to her." "He recovered consciousness before he was removed, I suppose?" Thomson inquired. "I believe so, sir. He seemed very weak and ill, though.
May that be far from us, as we take up our Pickwick and talk over the autobiographic pathos of David Copperfield. This vivid sympathy with the man is made stronger in my own case in that, from my own boyhood till his death, I was continually seeing him, was frequently his neighbour both in London and the seaside, knew some of his friends, and heard much about him and about his work.
Of them all she impressed Martin the most, because there was nothing of the crank about her. She went to theatres, to the seaside in the summer, took in The Queen, and was a subscriber to Boots' Circulating Library. She dressed quietly and in excellent taste in grey or black and white. She had jolly brown eyes and a dimple in the middle of her chin.
Marjory felt rather curious to know what they were about. She was soon to know, and the knowledge caused her some dismay. "Would you like to go to London, Marjory?" asked her uncle one day. "To London?" echoed Marjory. "Not without you," decidedly. "To London, and then to the seaside with the Foresters. You would like to go with them, wouldn't you?" "And leave you alone here?
Really really really, to have lived to that age, and to have no better understanding! Letters from the seaside did not tend to soothe the exile's discontent.
Thyrza that's Miss Trent, I mean was so anxious; she's never been to the seaside. Will you just ask him? 'Oh yes, I will. 'I'm sorry I've had to draw back, Mr. Bunce, after offering 'It don't matter a bit, Miss Nancarrow. Miss Trent 'll do just as well, if she really don't mind the trouble. 'Trouble! Why, she'd give anything to go! Please get Mr. Grail to let her.
I shall find you there ready and courageous, shan't I? If you have made, through goodness and devotion, as I think, a great sacrifice for your niece, who, in truth, is your real daughter, you will forget all about it and will begin your life again as a young man. Is one old when one does not choose to be? Stay at the seaside as long as you can.
The land farther in, that is lower than what borders on the sea, was so much as we saw of it very plain and even; partly savannahs, and partly woodland. The savannahs bear a sort of thin coarse grass. The mould is also a coarser sand than that by the seaside, and in some places it is clay.
He knew it not, knew scarcely any English seaside, having always managed to spend his holidays abroad; but Frinton must, he was convinced, be strangely romantic. The train thither had an aspect which strengthened this conviction. Mr. Prohack, being still somewhat swollen, decided that he was a member of the North Essex Season-Ticket-Holders Association and acted accordingly.
