Sida 318 - ... Jeffries !" The revocation of the edict of Nantes had cut off even the hope of a refuge in France ; and Milicent, while she contemplated the perils and dangers of her infirm parent, offered up fervent thanksgivings to heaven for having afforded the means of securing him a stronghold against his enemies, a shelter for his old age. With her father and her sister as her inmates, her dreaded residence at Keswycke Moat lost all or half its terrors. But though many...

"A dear one, — a prudent, and a virtuous," rejoined the knight, turning sharply away, and betaking himself to his box, as if he had made an effort to look upon an object connected with painful recollections. Nay, if I am not mistaken, there was moisture on the lace of his sleeve as he raised his arm to his eyes, affecting to ward off the sunbeams...
Sida 309 - Waller, she was oftentimes found seated in a favourite arbour of phyllyrea, looking out on the great canal, with a volume of the Pilgrim's Progress open upon her knee. Whither her thoughts were straying none could tell ; perhaps they were lost among the knots of a new stomacher ; perhaps at the siege of Vienna ; — perhaps in the Slough of...
Sida 237 - Corbeil, whose villas line the shore with their well-trimmed avcum's of limes, and here and there a shrub dipping down into the stream to shelter the baths, constructed by the diverse proprietors, in the bed of the river.
