"I mean, assuming the exchange is a fair one." "Fair?" said I. "It's exquisite. Why, just to look at you's as good as a feast, and " "Which reminds me I'm awfully hungry. Oh, no, no, I didn't mean that, Adam, dear, I didn't really." And my companion leaned against the chimney-piece, laughing helplessly. "That's torn it," said I, laughing too. "And now," said Eve, recovering, "take off your coat.
Let thy sweet voice whisper whither I must go!" But the voice was silent and all the night was still again. He turned from the window and threw himself into his arm-chair, letting his eyes rove about the room as though he would seek a sign from its walls. Suddenly he sat erect, his dilated pupils fixed upon a point above the chimney-piece upon a small picture.
The Chemist glanced about the room; at the student's books and papers, piled upon a table in a corner, where they, and his extinguished reading-lamp, now prohibited and put away, told of the attentive hours that had gone before this illness, and perhaps caused it; at such signs of his old health and freedom, as the out-of-door attire that hung idle on the wall; at those remembrances of other and less solitary scenes, the little miniatures upon the chimney-piece, and the drawing of home; at that token of his emulation, perhaps, in some sort, of his personal attachment too, the framed engraving of himself, the looker-on.
At its first appearance it was warmly praised, in the Champion, probably either by Fielding, or by Ralph, who succeeded to him in a share of that paper; and Sir Joshua Reynolds, when it came into his hand, found his attention so powerfully arrested, that he read it through without changing his posture, as he perceived by the torpidness of one of his arms that had rested on a chimney-piece by which he was standing.
When the members of the party retired to their rooms, on arriving at Missiri's, Macaulay had gone off with his father, and Paul had been left alone for a few minutes in the sitting-room. When all was quiet, Hermione opened her door softly and looked in. Paul was standing by the chimney-piece, contemplating the smouldering logs with the interest of a man who has nothing to do.
"Or suppose," said I, "I put aside the setting altogether: it is a little too large for the present fashion; and have the portrait of my uncle framed and placed over my chimney-piece, next to yours. It's a sweet miniature." "That miniature," said Mrs. "You know the dreadful story of that poor poor artist. When he had finished that wonderful likeness for the late Mrs.

Then he stood like a man of war and battle in all his intrepid fire. And now he stamped angrily with his foot, approached the chimney-piece, and pulled the bell so violently that the bell-rope remained in his hand. A servant hastened to attend to this precipitate summons. "Did you not tell Dagobert that I wished to speak to him?" cried the marshal.
Why, when I were nothing more than a five-year-old Phipps, I remember as well as possible taking my presents out of this werry stocking, and trembling all over when I couldn't untie the knot of the parcel which held that cock made of sugar, wot I kept on the chimney-piece for many and many a day afterward; for though mother give it to me, she wouldn't let me eat it."
She asked him question after question about Bourges, its dances, fashions, manufactures, even about the procedure of its courts. "I am sure you know that well, uncle," she said. "Uncle" smiled at each question, his face illumined with a glow like that upon a chimney-piece when someone is blowing the fire.
