I never got nary wink of sleep a-thinkin' about her, and a-wishin' my house was finer and my clo'es purtier and my hair shorter, and I was a eddicated gentleman. Never wished that air afore."
But he was walking too, stick in hand, losing his footing now and then, just as they did, and once he nearly rolled down one of those cursed precipices: but always smiling, always cheerful, always full of hope. At Antibes young Casabianca got himself arrested with twenty grenadiers they had gone into the town to requisition a few provisions.
Sarah was a round-faced, vacant-looking damsel of sixteen summers, who had come straight from an industrial home to serve in the O'Shaughnessy family. She was scrupulously clean, admirably willing, and so blindly obedient that in the bosom of the family she was known by the title of "Casabianca."
Though many of the productions of the gifted poetess will soon be forgotten, there is no doubt that some will live. The subjects are those which gain an admittance to the hearts of all classes.

All grown-up people were clever, except servants and even these were cleverer than ever he should be. Oh, why, why, why, could not people be born into the world as grown-up persons? Then he thought of Casabianca. He had been examined in that poem by his father not long before.
"It doesn't matter so much about David," he added mournfully; "but you see I'm so much older. Do you think there's anything I could do? anything very dangerous and difficult?" "Like Casabianca," said Pennie, thinking of a poem she was fond of reciting: "The boy stood on the burning deck, Whence all but he had fled." "Oh, don't go on," cried Nancy, "about that stupid boy.
