A conspicuous, more or less ridiculous person of those times. They met, one day on the road, a Lord Hyndford, English Ambassador just returning from Petersburg, with his fourgons and vehicles, and arrangements for sleep and victual, in an enviably luxurious condition, whom we shall meet, to our cost.
Raymount, who liked their Sundays kept quiet. He was shown to Mr. Raymount's study. "I am sorry," he said, "to call on a Sunday, but I am not so enviably situated as you, Mr. Raymount; I have not my time at my command. When other people make their calls. I am a prisoner." He spoke as if his were an exceptional case, and the whole happy world beside reveled in morning calls. Mr.

A pretty Barbel, with spotted skin, and an enviably round back, declared that the "human fry" were still there. "I can see a well set-up human figure quite well," said the Barbel.
Well! he manages to get on, whilst Jack is hanged; not quite enviably, however; he has had his rubs, and pretty hard ones everybody knows he slunk from Waterloo, and occasionally checks him with so doing; whilst he has been rejected by a woman what a mortification to the low pride of which the scoundrel has plenty!
Their superiors, meanwhile, were sleeping less enviably in dismal mouldy and dusty vaults, instead of under the daisies. Thus Redclyffe really found less antiquity here, than in the graveyard which might almost be called his natal spot. When he said something to this effect, the Warden nodded. "Yes," said he, "and, in truth, we have not much need of inscriptions for these poor people.
If he knew anything of human nature he knew that to plenty of young fellows present in that great crowd he was a grand hero and enviably situated. He was hanged. It was a mistake. Within a month from his death the society which he had honored had twenty new members, some of them earnest, determined men.
