Southey to Robert Emmett Most generally, when I travel, I go alone this to insure being in good company. To travel with another is a terrible risk: it puts a great strain on the affections. I once made the tour of Scotland with a man who was traveling for his health. He had kidney-trouble belief.
The huntsmen assembled in the courtyard, in red caftans trimmed with galloon, and blew their horns; his excellency would be pleased to come out, and his excellency's horse would be led up; his excellency would mount, and the chief huntsman puts his feet in the stirrups, takes his hat off, and puts the reins in his hat to offer them to his excellency.
Summoning the winds to its aid, it puts out the lights, and disappears. The Suit of Feathers is the title of a very pretty conceit which followed. A fisherman enters, and in a long recitative describes the scenery at the sea-shore of Miwo, in the province of Suruga, at the foot of Fuji-Yama, the Peerless Mountain.
'Well, says I. 'Then, if you're passin', I wish you'd give 'en this here letter, says he, an' that's all 'e said." "I wonder who 'twas," said Geake. But his face was white. "Don't know 'en by sight. Said 'e was in a great hurry for to catch the up train. Which puts me i' mind I must be movin' on. Good-night t'ye, neighbour!" As soon as he had turned the corner, Geake opened the letter.
"It's the superfluous things that put me off, not the want of anything." "It's feeling such an ass puts me off," added Hermon; "they're all so busy and alert about one thing or another down there, they make me feel a mere cumberer of the earth. A woman manages a husband, and a family, and some sort of a home, and does the breadwinning as well.
Miss Callis had begun to look embarrassed by my hand, but I still permitted it to nestle confidingly in hers. "He pronounces all his g's," I said, "and did you ever see him in a silk hat?" "I don't think you are really attached to him, dear." "I sometimes think," I murmured, "that one never knows one's own heart until some sudden circumstance puts it to the test.
It has been matter of astonishment to some, how men, who have the powers of reason, can waste their time in galloping after dogs, in a wild and tumultuous manner, to the detriment often of their neighbours, and to the hazard of their own lives; or how men, who are capable of high intellectual enjoyments, can derive pleasure, so as to join in shouts of triumph, on account of the death of an harmless animal; or how men, who have organic feelings, and who know that other living creatures have the same, can make an amusement of that, which puts brute-animals to pain.
If we are to have an opposed landing better kill two birds with one stone and land bang upon the Bosphorus. The nearer to the heart I can strike my first blow, the more telling it will be. Cable 140 puts the case very well.
Goldsmith, I remember, to retaliate for many a severe defeat which he has suffered from him, applied to him a lively saying in one of Cibber's comedies, which puts this part of his character in a strong light. Wednesday, 6th October After a sufficiency of sleep, we assembled at breakfast. We were just as if in barracks. Every body was master.
The second boy, however, duns him. He even acts the hypocrite, and puts into play many of the worst artifices of human nature, which we so often see in daily practice, and he gains his end. But he is not yet satisfied; he wishes another. The first boy, however, will on no account give him more. He again tries all his arts, but in vain.
