Dick would say, when we were a-jog on the southward road again. "'Tis a braver lordling than I gave him credit for being if he will put his head in a trap that will close behind him and cut him off from his line and base." I laughed. "You may wager Jennifer House against an acre of the Cowpens that Lord Charles will do no such unsoldierly thing.
Her envious feelings were lulled to temporary rest by the enjoyment of her own triumphs; for the young lordling seemed to be completely subjugated by her charms, and devoted himself exclusively to attendance upon her. The scheming beauty's heart thrilled with a sense of triumph.
But it frets me yet more when some lordling sweeps along, lifting his dull eyes above the fools whose only crime and debasement are what? their subjection to him! Such a one I encountered a few nights since; and he will remember the meeting longer than I shall. I taught that 'god to tremble." The female rose, glanced towards her husband, and silently withdrew.
"The beautiful Viennese, Paulina Durski." The lordling made a wry face. "Paulina Durski! Yes, Paulina is a pretty woman," he murmured, languidly; "a very pretty woman; and you're right, Eversleigh she did make a profound impression upon me. But, you see, I found the impression cost me rather too much.
"Envious of him!" said I; "how should I be envious of him?

In ours we only had pitchforks and sticks, and a second-rate culverin which my Uncle John used to point and point very well, in fact and which was sufficient to keep at a respectful distance the military force of the district.
Just a few hours ago, the General of the Staff had told him of the flight of the French Government to Bordeaux, and the statement about the revolution in Paris and the firing of the French troops was indisputable. "The gentleman has seen it all without doubt, but does not wish to admit it." Desnoyers felt obliged to contradict this lordling, but his negative was not even listened to. Paris!
She knew the amount of income she had to bring to the Prussian Army, from the general to the lieutenant. She understood her own value and her rights. There was a young English lordling she met on the Rhine, whose boyish ways and simplicity seemed to please her.
Havisham was beginning to be greatly interested; but perhaps not quite so much in Dick and the apple-woman as in this kind little lordling, whose curly head was so busy, under its yellow thatch, with good-natured plans for his friends, and who seemed somehow to have forgotten himself altogether. "Is there anything " he began. "What would you get for yourself, if you were rich?"
He allows you seven errors; he marks them there with chalk; whoever makes more than seven errors has completely and conclusively failed!"
