Sida 103 - It were all one, That I should love a bright particular star, And think to wed it, he is so above me: In his bright radiance and collateral light Must I be comforted, not in his sphere.
Sida 15 - I remember it as if it was only yesterday," continued Mary, shuddering and deeply affected ; and her volatile companion was awed into silence. At length they arrived on the review ground ; and Lewellyn, afraid lest the horse should be frightened at the firing, made them leave the cart, and then leaning on his arm they proceeded to the front of the ranks. But the crowd was soon so great that Fanny began to find she was not likely either to see or be seen, and was almost tempted to join Mary in regrets...
Sida 300 - tis Kindness that warms. As on Suns in the Winter with Pleasure we gaze, But feel not their force, though their Splendour we praise ; So Beauty our just Admiration may claim, But Love, and Love only, our Hearts can inflame.
Sida 27 - Now, and ever, I shall reject your proposal," he replied.

On the third day he became composed ; and taking Mary's hand, he said ; " My dear, good cousin, lead me, pray lead me to her grave." This request was what Mary had dreaded. " I —...
Sida 300 - Can she ; ought she to do it ? — most certainly," replied Stainforth, " if the object be a deserving one. I too will quote an English poet, who says, " The chastest maid may own a well-placed flame, Not loving first, but loving wrong, is shame."

Sida 73 - Not— not far from it," said Mary, resolved now to tell him the whole truth. " Let me see her — I will see her," he exclaimed, staggering towards the door. " It is too late !" cried Mary, forcing him into a chair : " but remember, dearest Lewellyn, that before she died you had kindly forgiven all her offences towards you."

" Impossible !" replied Mary, gently unlocking the door, and closing it after her as she stood at the door. — " He is ill, perhaps dying — the sight of you — "
Sida 3 - His father was a carpenter, his' mother took in plain-work, and he himself was undecided whether to follow his father's business or seek a different employment, — when he fell in love with our handsome sempstress.
