A lady sitting by me at a party said, "No wonder so many English prefer France to so odious a country as England, where the people are oppressed, and even cabbages are raised in hotbeds." I laughed, and said, "I like England very well, for all that."
"I'll stay and attend to the getaway," says I. "Nobody'll miss me." "Thank you," says Gilkey; "but I'm not sure I wish to go away. I came to see Edna, you know." "So I hear," says I. "Unique idea of yours too, rollin' in the hotbeds first." "I I was only trying to avoid meeting Mr. Pulsifer," says he; "exploring a bit, you see. I could hear voices in the dining-room; but I couldn't quite look in.
The Susus are an industrious tribe, and they trade with our colony in gum, ground-nuts, and benni, or sesamum-seed. It is uncommonly pleasant to leave these hotbeds and once more to breathe the cool, keen breath of the Trades, laden with the health of the broad Atlantic.
There, if anywhere, one would have expected to find Arcadia among fertility, loveliness, industry, and wealth. But, alas for the sad reality! the cool breath of those glittering water-meadows too often floats laden with poisonous miasma. Those picturesque villages are generally the perennial hotbeds of fever and ague, of squalid penury, sottish profligacy, dull discontent too stale for words.
That comes of your speculatin to Lowell; and, I vow, them factorin towns will corrupt our youth of both sexes, and become hotbeds of iniquity. Evil communications endamnify good manners, as sure as rates; one scabby sheep will infect a whole flock vice is as catchin as that nasty disease the Scotch have, it's got by shakin hands, and both eend in the same way in brimstone.
They could hear him mowing the lawn during lesson hours, but when recreation arrived, and they ran out hopefully to reconnoitre, he would be weeding the strawberries, or gathering peas within a few feet of his cherished hotbeds. "There's only one way for it," said Lindsay. "We shall have to make a plot.
"But she returned, for later she sent that telegram from the station," Falconer argued. Billy was silent. Then he burst out, "But all the same there is a mystery to this thing.... She she's too confoundedly young and pretty to run around alone in this painted jade of a city." "This city has law and order much more of them than there are in your national hotbeds of robbery and murder."
The great error under which Mr Godwin labours throughout his whole work is the attributing almost all the vices and misery that are seen in civil society to human institutions. Political regulations and the established administration of property are with him the fruitful sources of all evil, the hotbeds of all the crimes that degrade mankind.
And there are hotbeds of vice to be found in our own land, where strong appeal is made to the lusts of the flesh, and where intoxicating drink incites men to yield to passions which need restraint. Indeed, even in our streets moral perils assail the young and innocent, which no Christian nation ought to tolerate.
Fines, imprisonments, and other sentences, out of all proportion to the offence committed, were heaped on every redcoat in much the same way as was then being practised in Boston and other hotbeds of disaffection. The redcoats had done their work in ridding America of the old French menace. They were doing it now in ridding the colonies of the last serious menace from the Indians.
