"Pish, how the pillow frets one!" "Is it too high?" said my mother. "No," said my uncle, faintly, "no no the discomfort is not in the pillow, after all: 'tis a fine day; is it not?" "Very!" said my mother; "I wish you could go out." My uncle did not answer: there was a pause. "Ods fish, Madam, are those carriage wheels?" "No, Sir William but "
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." Cordial remembrances to your parents and the Reddentin folk. Schönhausen, February 23, '47. My Angel!
There, full in sight, and riding proudly at anchor, the beautiful curves of her swan-like prows made cannon proof with plates of shining steel, and below, in lieu of figurehead to promise victory, those letters of dread omen, C.D.X., with thirty oars-men from the arsenal of Venice, to ensure her speed, each ready at his oar-lock to wield his oar, with a band of marksmen trained to finest tempered arms to quell the resistance which no Venetian would dare offer with those letters on the prow; the gold and scarlet banner of San Marco, for good fortune, at her masthead; the wind swelling her impatient sail, as the curb but frets the steed the galley of the Ten was not waiting without a purpose!

Stanton, the true patriot, frets in despair at McClellan's keeping the army in the unhealthiest place of Virginia.
"This youngster oughtn't to do much tramping for a few days, Cyrus. That deer-road did up his feet pretty badly. I'll be travelling in your direction myself the day after to-morrow. I want to visit a farm-settlement within a dozen miles of the lake, where the farmer has a sickly child, the only treasure in his log shanty. The mite frets if Doc doesn't come to see her once in a while.
The man ought rather to be encouraged to go on exposing himself and his party. "Let him go on," he said, "to bully Moderation, explode Toleration, and damn the Union; the gain will be ours." "You should use him as we do a hot horse. When he first frets and pulls, keep a stiff rein and hold him in if you can; but if he grows mad and furious, slack your hand, clap your heels to him, and let him go.
This is no unqualified virtue, and Burke might have escaped some wearisome frets and embarrassments in his existence, if he had been capable of letting the detail of the day lie more heavily upon him. So far as it goes, however, it is a sign of mental health that a man should be able to cast behind him the barren memories of bygone squalor.
Now the whole site of the basilica is uncovered, and they have dug into the depths of several tombs, bringing to light precious marbles, pillars, a statue, and elaborately wrought sarcophagi; and if they were to dig into almost every other inequality that frets the surface of the campagna, I suppose the result might be the same.
Along the bamboo which serves the purpose of a finger-board, is the main chord and several thinner wires. All these pass over a number of frets, two and a half heptachords, representing the total compass of the instrument. The wires rest towards their ends on two pieces of ivory called Upadhanas in Sanskrit or Swaris in Urdu.
