"I see you are not like girls who know their duty, and are restless, because it is not the duty they like." "Oh! I like everything. It is my liking it so much that makes me afraid." "Even going to Ryde?" "Don't I like the sailing? and seeing Harry too? I don't feel as if that were waste, because I can sometimes spare poor Flora a little. We could not let her go alone."
Of the objectionable Ryde landlady and her husband there are portraits not much inferior to those of the Tow-wouses in Joseph Andrews, while the military fop, who visits his uncle the captain off Spithead, is drawn with all the insight which depicted the vagaries of Ensign Northerton, whom indeed the real hero of the Journal not a little resembles.
Our family having considerably increased, we had outgrown the old craft, so I purchased a fine schooner in Greenock, aboard which we arrived only yesterday evening. Finding you were staying at Ryde, we went to your house and there heard that you had gone in this direction. Guessing your object, we drove on here in the hopes of meeting you."
The mainland looked beautiful too, and Bessie, gazing that way, thought how near she was to the Forest, until an irresistible longing to be there overcame her reserve. She asked her uncle if the Foam was going to lie long off Ryde. Why did she inquire? Because she should like to go to Hampton by the boat, and to Beechhurst to see her friends, if only for one single night.

The "stars" in old days earned large sums Edmund Kean received two hundred and fifty pounds for four performances but the ordinary members of a company were paid at a very moderate rate. I received fifteen shillings a week at the Princess's until I played Puck, when my salary was doubled. Our summer holidays, as I have said, were spent at Ryde.
Jerry, the truest of them, who had at the Peace gone on shore, I could nowhere hear of; my poor mother was dead, my brothers at sea, and my sisters either married or in service. One of the youngest, my sister Jane, I was told was living near Ryde with the family of a captain in the navy, and on inquiry I found he was no other than my old commander, Captain Leslie.
"I was looking for you, Frieda," said Miss Lyndesay. "But Hannah said you were in Ryde." "Yesterday, gracious lady," said Frieda, ducking in a courtesy, "but to-day, no. We have sought you, too, and vainly. Vater, Mütterchen, behold Hannah's beloved lady. We have found ourselves at last!" "O Dear! It seems as though I couldn't wait a minute longer. It takes such an eternity for them to get in.
The cruisers that had dropped behind spread themselves out in a long line behind the forts; the British ships slipped their moorings and steamed out from Stokes Bay and made a line across to Ryde.
