Every man in the room, even the wretchedest of the dripping stokers, had his eyes on the steam gauges, but for all that the water boiled, and the indicator needles crept slowly round the dials, and at last the engineer walked over and pulled the whistle cord.
Remember that; for I for one shall combat it and expose it. Good day. Beauchamp continued, in the street: 'Tyrannies like this fellow's have made the English the dullest and wretchedest people in Europe. Palmet animadverted on Carpendike: 'The dog looks like a deadly fungus that has poisoned the woman. 'I'd trust him with a post of danger, though, said Beauchamp.
Nay, Dickens himself sadly bewailed her fate, described himself as being the "wretchedest of the wretched" when it drew near, and shut himself from all society as if he had suffered a real bereavement. While as to the feeling which she has excited in the breasts of the illiterate, we may take Mr.
And as to the poorer part of the mass, so wretched are their national customs and the wretchedest of them all the wearing of other men's old raiment that they must wait for reform until the reformed dress, which the reformers have not yet put on, shall have turned second- hand. The quarrel of Art with Nature goes on apace.
So the guests were tolerably happy, or at least, with scarce an exception, open to the influences of champagne and music. Perhaps Juliana was the wretchedest creature present. She was about to smite on both cheeks him she loved, as well as the woman she despised and had been foiled by.
Galbraith was but overwhelmed with care for a self which, so far as he had to do with the making of it, was of small value indeed, although in the possibility, which is the birthright of every creature, it was, not less than that of the wretchedest of dog-licked Lazaruses, of a value by himself unsuspected and inappreciable.
It was a very handsome equipage, and was in keeping with all the outward belongings of Miss Kingsbury, who mingled a sense of duty and a love of luxury in her life in very exact proportions. When her coupe was not standing before some of the wretchedest doors in the city, it was waiting at the finest; and Clara's days were divided between the extremes of squalor and of fashion.
It is difficult to conceive a more awful position than theirs: fettered by laws which impede every movement towards right and justice, and utterly without the desire to repeal them dogged by the apprehension of nameless retributions bound beneath a burthen of responsibility for which, whether they acknowledge it or not, they are held accountable by God and men goaded by the keen consciousness of the growing reprobation of all civilised Christian communities, their existence presents the miserable moral counterpart of the physical condition of their slaves; and it is one compared with which that of the wretchedest slave is, in my judgement, worthy of envy.
"Would you think, to look at me," she went on, "that I am the wretchedest girl living? It's true, Godfrey. What greater wretchedness can there be than to live degraded in your own estimation? That is my life now." "My dear Rachel! it's impossible you can have any reason to speak of yourself in that way!" "How do you know I have no reason?" "Can you ask me the question!
"When I was beginning to despair, and it seemed there would be no end it's come! She loves me! She owns it!" "Then do this for me: never say such things to me, and let us be friends," she said in words; but her eyes spoke quite differently. "Friends we shall never be, you know that yourself. Whether we shall be the happiest or the wretchedest of people that's in your hands."
