Or dost thou sideling go, and would'st not be Suspected? Yet these prophets can thee tell, Which way thou art a going down to hell. For him that would eternal life attain, Yet will not part with all, that life to gain, But keepeth some thing close, he should forsake, Or slips the time, in which he should awake; Or saith he lets go all, yet keepeth some Of what will make him lose the world to come.

I am patient when with thee, dearest Gessina." "Hist! 'Tis my cousin's step. Thou canst go in." While she spoke, a small bell rang, and the Bravo withdrew into the inner room, like one accustomed to that place of retreat.
"'Tis only to hide my sorrow, my child," returned Hippy lugubriously. "Would'st have the whole town look upon my tears and jeer, 'cry baby'?" "That's a very good excuse," sniffed Nora. "Not an excuse," corrected Hippy, "but a cloak to hide my real feelings." "That will do, Hippopotamus," cut in David decisively. "We don't wish to hear the whys and wherefores of your feelings.

"But the marriage of a princess is a state event," replied the widow. "In this case it is true the uncle only courts his niece, who is dear to him, and who he hopes will make the second half of his life the brightest. Ani is kind and without severity.
