For this animal she showed a constancy of affection that made her changefulness to me the more heart-sickening. Thus, half in love, half in disgust, I sat moodily on my side of the stream one sunny afternoon, watching her on the other side. She had been running a race with the dog, and had just settled down on the green bank, with the hound sitting on his haunches beside her.
In a country so circumstanced, how disappointing, then, and heart-sickening must it not have been to good and thoughtful men, to find the Government passing a bill for the employment of our people on unproductive labour. Not only did the Labour-rate Act exclude productive labour from its own operations, but its direct tendency was to discourage and put a stop to improvement on the part of others.
Thus it came to pass, that after three months' toil and enormous collation of cases after extravagant indulgence of the most ardent hopes glory, good, and gold, consequent instantaneously on this happy publication after reasonably expecting that judges would quote it in their ermine, and sergeants consult it in their silk that London would be startled by the event from the humdrum of its ordinary routine and the wondering world applaud the name of Henry Clements O, heart-sickening reality! what was the result of his exertions?

Even when imagination bore her back to the "Sickle and Sheaf," she felt an intense, heart-sickening repulsion toward the place where she had first felt the poisoned arrows of life; and in the depths of her spirit she prayed that her eyes might never look upon it again. In her almost cloister-like seclusion, she sought to gather the mantle of oblivion about her heart.
He said that I had bit him by my performance of Othello, and I told him I hoped I should make the blood come. It would indeed be some recompense for the miseries, the humiliations, the heart-sickening disgusts which I have endured in my profession, if, by its exercise, I had awakened a spirit of poetry whose influence would elevate, ennoble, and adorn our degraded drama.
