So Leslie sat there, pausing in her sewing, and gazing idly at the sky, with a girl's quick pensiveness and thick-coming fancies, as she mused. How blue it was yonder! What glorious clouds! yet the world below was rather stupid and tiresome, and it was hard to say what people toiled so arduously for. There were other lands and other people: should she ever see them?
With the adventurous minds of England all aflame with enthusiasm for those golden regions, with the thick-coming fancies for digging, washing, refining the precious sands of Virginia rivers, it was certain that a great rent was now to be made in the Borgian grant.

Robinson Crusoe himself, when he discovered the print of a savage foot on the beach of his lonely island, could not have been more suddenly assailed with thick-coming fancies. I endeavored to track the steps, but they only passed for a few paces along the fine sand, and then were lost among the herbage. I remained gazing in reverie upon this passing trace of loveliness.
"And that sweet look of innocent wonder is all Sylvie's too. But Sylvie hasn't got that calm resolute mouth nor that far-away look of dreamy sadness, like one that has had some deep sorrow, very long ago " And the thick-coming fancies almost prevented my hearing the lady's next words.
Dear little T.H. who of all children has been brought up with the most scrupulous exclusion of every taint of superstition who was never allowed to hear of goblin or apparition, or scarcely to be told of bad men, or to read or hear of any distressing story finds all this world of fear, from which he has been so rigidly excluded ab extra, in his own "thick-coming fancies;" and from his little midnight pillow, this nurse-child of optimism will start at shapes, unborrowed of tradition, in sweats to which the reveries of the cell-damned murderer are tranquillity.
"Not so sick, my lord, As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies, That keep her from her rest.... . . . . . . Therein the patient Must minister to himself." Yet as the king's star declines neither the doctor's foresight nor his skill prevents Lady Macbeth, the "diabolical queen" from laying hands upon herself.
He grasps and holds and sustains them amidst the multiplicity of upflying thoughts and thick-coming fancies; no matter how subtile or how aspiring they may be, he fastens them in the chamber of his imagination until his distant purpose is accomplished, and he has found a language for them which the world will understand.
Yes, it is a duke who is put in the stocks; it is a duke's son plays the bedlamite; it is a king who finds the hovel's shelter 'precious'; and it is a queen it is a king's wife, and a daughter of kings who is hanged; nay more, it is Cordelia it is Cordelia, and none other, whom this inexorable Poet, primed with mischief, bent on outrage, determined to turn out the heart of his time, and show, in the selectest form, the inmost lining of its lurking humanities it is Cordelia whom he will hang And we forgive him still, and bear with him in all these assaults on our taste in all these thick-coming blows on our outraged sensibilities; we forgive him when at last the poetic design flashes on us, when we come to understand the providence of this piece, at least, when we come to see at last that there is a meaning in it all, a meaning deep to justify even this procedure.
Oh! he is a rare head-piece, an admirable Merron. I do not believe there is in nature such a full-acorned Boar. Could not write to purpose for thick-coming fancies; the wheel would not turn easily, and cannot be forced. "My spinning-wheel is auld and stiff, The rock o't winna stand, sir; To keep the temper-pin in tiff Employs aft my hand, sir."
