My social disposition, when not checked by some modifications of spirited pride, was like our catechism definition of infinitude, without bounds or limits. I formed several connections with other younkers, who possessed superior advantages; the youngling actors who were busy in the rehearsal of parts, in which they were shortly to appear on the stage of life, where, alas!

No strength was in her to struggle against him; only her wide bright eyes sought his, with the terror of a snared bird. Meeting the look and understanding a small part of its question, he said a reassuring word in his pleasant low-pitched voice: "Be of good cheer, youngling; there is no thought of eating you.

How sayest thou, is it well?" "It is well, Lord," said Christopher; "yet would I have with me the raiment wherewith I came hither, and my bow and my sax."
