第 66 頁 - A troop-ship, by gad. Dear! Dear!" It is a sad sight to see a fine ship beyond control. It is like seeing one one loves gone mad. Sad under any circumstances; how terrible it is when she is bearing on with her in her mad Bacchante's dance a freight of living human creatures, to untimely destruction ! As each terrible feature and circumstance of the catastrophe became apparent to the lookers-on, the excitement became more intense. Forward and in the waist, there was a considerable body of seamen clustered...
第 201 頁 - And, rapt thro' many a rosy change, The twilight died into the dark. "A hundred summers! can it be? And whither goest thou, tell me where? " "O seek my father's court with me, For there are greater wonders there.

At least, I mean, as well as some of the second-rate • ones. I have set my brains to learn steering, being a small, weak man-; but I shall never steer as well as little Tims, who is ten years old.

At this point, being opposite the University barge, Charles was hailed by a West-countryman of Exeter, whom we shall call Lee, who never met with Charles without having a turn at talking Devonshire with him.

第 105 頁 - Charles blushed. Not many days before, Marston and he had a battle royal, in which the former had said, that the only hope for Charles was that he should go two or three times without his dinner, and be made to earn it, and that as long as he had a " mag " to bless himself with, he would always be a lazy, useless humbug ; and now here was a young lady uttering the same atrocious sentiments.
第 91 頁 - ... others were very courteous too, and Charles soon began to find that he himself was talking in a different tone of voice, and using different language from that which he would have been using in his cousin's rooms ; and he confessed this to Marston that night. Meanwhile the University Eight, with the little blue flag at her bows, went rushing down the river on her splendid course.
第 93 頁 - you're a greater fool than I am, and be hanged to you. You're going to spend the best years of your life, and ruin your health, to get a first. A first! A first! Why that miserable little beast, Lock, got a first. A fellow who is, take him all in all, the most despicable little wretch I know! If you are very diligent you may raise yourself to his level! And, when you have got your precious first, you will find yourself utterly unfit for any trade or profession whatever (except the Church, which you...

Then a sound, at first faint and indistinct, but growing gradually upon the ear until it could be plainly heard above the horse's footfall. Then suddenly the end of the wood, and broad, open sunlight. Below, the weirs of Casterton, spouting by a hundred channels, through the bucks and under the mills. Hard by, Casterton town, lying, a tumbled mass of red brick and gray flint, beneath a faint, soft haze of smoke, against the vast roll...
