I cannot even promise to forgive it but tell me, and you shall never see me again, or hear more of my reproaches." "Unfortunate man," said Lord Glenvarloch, "you have said more, far more than enough, to move me deeply.
At the very time that this dispute was maintaining by the centinel and the drummer was the same point debating betwixt a trumpeter and a trumpeter's wife, who were just then coming up, and had stopped to see the stranger pass by. Benedicity! What a nose! 'tis as long, said the trumpeter's wife, as a trumpet. And of the same metal said the trumpeter, as you hear by its sneezing.
Upon which so strange a spectacle, the people of the city gathered apace together upon the sands, to wonder; and so after put themselves into a number of small boats, to go nearer to this marvellous sight. I do here acknowledge and testify before this people, that the thing which we now see before our eyes is thy Finger and a true Miracle.
He had but to say "Ruin! what do I care for ruin in that sense?" and she would have cried with delight. But he kept it back. "Sit down and wait for me. I will go and see him." One more embrace, and he left her. Mrs. Wade was talking with Northway in the dining-room, talking hurriedly and earnestly. She heard Quarrier's step and came to the door. "In here?" Denzil asked.

For the escapade of Stephen Marshall and his friends, referred to by Baillie, see Neal, III. 375-6.
Maas Eyck was a little town on the banks of the river Maas, near the frontier of the present Holland and Belgium. He may have spent most of his life in Ghent, the town officials of which city paid him a visit in 1425 to see his work, and gave six groats to his apprentices in memory of their visit.
5th. Mr. Moore mightily commends my Lord Hinchingbroke's match and lady, though he buys her 10,000l. dear, by the jointure and settlement his father makes her; and says that the Duke of York and Duchesse of York did come to see them in bed together on their wedding-night, and how my Lord had fifty pieces of gold taken out of his pocket that night after he was in bed.
There, in that fearful hollow, lives were ebbing away like the sea on a shallow beach. They fought for air, for breath, for light, for life. I can see Peter Thigh to this day as he staggers to his feet and cries, wildly: "The mouth of blazes would be a Sunday parlour to this! Lead on, doctor, I am dying here!"
