Her face was turned upwards and was exquisitely calm and sweet; and as she lay motionless and smiled up at Katharina, she looked like an angel wearied in well-doing.

By her side was a lute, from which she brought the softest and most soothing tones, and thus added to the witchery of her appearance.
Besides, the troops which had been accustomed by their irresistible impetuosity to vanquish all opponents were necessarily wearied out by a war which was carried on not so much against men as against the elements; which exercised their patience more than it gratified their love of glory; and where there was less of danger than of difficulty and want to contend with.
Patsy the frank had some difficulty in repressing the ungrateful speech which came to her lips but did not pass them. "I would rather be with them than with you!"

This I regret the more, as your last makes me particularly anxious for that which I expected by this post. I am wearied out with the most tedious cause I was ever engaged in.
