Стр. 158 - ... London streets. Earnest as were the words of Basil, passionate as were his looks — was there a single passenger, of the hundreds that passed and passed, who could have divined that the young man was at such an hour, and in such a place, telling the story of his heart, pleading the passion of a life ? Yet it was even so. And the old man, in his best blunt way, opposed the ardour of the youth ; even whilst his father's heart glowed and throbbed at the expression. And then, as they walked onward,...
Стр. 318 - At length the night arrived when Lotus had promised to bring home the soul of Pugwash. He sent his wife to bed, and sat with his eyes upon the Dutch clock, anxiously awaiting the conjurer. Twelve o'clock struck, and at the same moment Father Lotus smote the door-post of Isaac Pugwash. " ' Have you brought it ? ' asked Pugwash. " ' Or wherefore should I come ? ' said Lotus. ' Quick : show a light to the till, that your soul may find itself at home.
Стр. 245 - should I do ? My neighbour wants a fire-shovel — I sell a fire-shovel. If I ought to fling so many thanks at him for buying the fireshovel, should he not first thank me for being here with fireshovels to sell ? Politeness, friend — as you call it — may be very well ; but I should somehow suspect the wholesale dealer in it. Where I should carry away so much politeness, I should fear I had short weight.
Стр. 299 - Now, sir, these seem easy questions to answer : but deeply considered, they require a strong, an earnest, aye and happy man, to reply to them with a bold, conscientious yes. And let us not speak only of men, but of women. Poor souls ! It is much to be doubted whether the queries are not even more difficult to them to respond to assuringly. Yet taken literally, certainly not. And for this good reason. Eve it is well-known was sixteen years old when she was awakened at the side of her husband. Sixteen...
Стр. 324 - The human heart has of course its pouting fits ; it determines to live alone ; to flee into desert places ; to have no employment, that is, to love nothing ; but to keep on sullenly beating, beating, beating, until death lays his little finger on the sulky thing, and all is still. It goes away from the world, and straightway, shut from human...
Стр. 319 - Hear the end," said the Hermit. " For some time it was a growing pleasure to Pugwash to look at his soul, busy as it always was with the world-buying metals. At length he grew old, very old ; and every day his soul grew uglier. Then he hated to look upon it ; and then his soul would come to him and grin its deformity at him. Pugwash died, almost rich as an Indian king; but he died, shrieking in his madness to be saved from the terrors of his own soul.
Стр. 306 - Evenings such as this," continued the Hermit, after a pause, "seem to me the very holiday time of death ; an hour in which the slayer, throned in glory, smiles benevolently down on man. Here, on earth, he gets hard names among us for the unseemliness of his looks, and the cruelty of his doings ; but in an hour like this, death seems to me loving and radiant, — a great bounty, spreading an immortal feast, and showing the glad dwellingplace he leads men to.
Стр. 277 - A giantess of nine-and-thirty feet three inches high — as I afterwards discovered — stood before me. Instantly I believed I was destined to be eaten alive. Though constitutionally gallant towards the sex, I was yet so wayward, that I would rather have fallen into the jaws of a tigress or any other female beast, than have formed the meal of the giantess before me. She saw my terror, and a smile broke upon her broadgood-humored face, like a sunbeam on a rose-garden.
Стр. 312 - Whereupon Mrs. Pugwash would declare, that a man with at least three children to provide for had no need to talk of nature. Nevertheless, the flower-man made his weekly call. Though at many a house, the penny could not every week be spared to buy a hint, a look of nature for the darkened dwellers about him, Isaac, despite of Mrs. Pugwash, always purchased. It is a common thing, an old familiar cry...
Стр. 11 - Sabilla is evidently in a sound, deep, sweet sleep. Untucking the bed, and making himself the thinnest slice of a man, Jericho slides between the sheets. And there he lies, feloniously still ; and he thinks to himself — being asleep, she cannot tell how late I came to bed. At all events, it is open to a dispute ; and that is something. " Mr. Jericho, when can you let me have some money ?" With open eyes, and clearly ringing every word upon the morning air, did Mrs. Jericho repeat this primal question....
