Those old jottings were conscientiously done and registered sundry things of import to the naturalist; were they accessible, I should be tempted to extract therefrom a volume of solid zoological memories in preference to these travel-pages that register nothing but the crosscurrents of a mind which tries to see things as they are.
She longed to speak with Joe she longed, as they stood on the ferry, and glided softly through the wash and sway of the East River, to share her sweet emotions with him. But he had pulled out a note-book and was busily making jottings. He seemed, if anything, more worn than ever, more tired. He was living on his nerves.
The fate of its last abbot, Richard Whiting, is one of the tragic stories of the time. Though a "weak man and ailing," he refused to surrender the property of his abbey. But Thomas Cromwell had a "short way" with passive resisters. In his private "remonstrances," amongst other jottings was found, "Item The Abbot of Glaston to be tried at Glaston, and also executed there."
I can remember to have written, in the fly-leaf of more than one book, the date and the place where I then was if, for instance, I was ill in bed or sitting in a certain garden; these were jottings for my future self; if I should chance on such a note in after years, I thought it would cause me a particular thrill to recognise myself across the intervening distance.
Then he was gone and the initialled proof lay before her. She had nothing to do but neatly and delicately paste on the bit she had snipped off. This done, she gathered up her various small belongings, swept them into her bag, and went, leaving the passed proof of the "Social Jottings" column waiting for Young Evans with the rest. In the middle of the night she realised what she had done.
Afterwards he asked me what I thought of "Jottings," and I confessed that there seemed to me a good deal of truth in what had been said. I had cut out all that he had written about us, read it several times, and thought it all very clever, most amusing and generally right. Later on I found that Mr. Godwin and "Jottings" were one and the same! At the Godwins' I met Mr. Barclay, Mr.
The jottings of the diary stir the imagination quite pleasantly, beginning January 16, 1859: "Mr. Browning called to visit us. Delightful visit. I read Charlotte Bronte for the second time. Mrs. Browning. Mr. Horatio Bridge spent the evening. Read 'Frederick the Great. Mr. Motley called, and brought 'Paradise Lost' for Una. I went to the sunny Corso with my husband, who is far from well. Mrs.
Names and episodes crowd one another out the more one writes, the more one recalls. These random jottings, however, will call up many more to the reader's memory. Such is my hope that, having started you in a reminiscent frame of mind you will now carry on "spinning the yarn" yourself. "Here's tae oorsel's! Wha's like us! Damned few!" Capt. Capt. H.S. Sharp. Capt. Cpl. F. and F.Y. and 14th R.H.
Rough jottings were made as to divisions and heads, and a few stanzas were written of the immortal poem that was not to be completed for a score of years. The first volume of Milton's poems was issued in Sixteen Hundred Forty-five, when he was thirty-seven years of age. But before this he was known as the author of some pamphlets which had made political London reel.
