To this meal he seems to bring more animation than to any other, and indeed I think more appetite ; for the number of cups of tea, the masses of bread and butter, eggs and cold meat, which he devours, awaken silent envy in the breast, or rather in the stomach, of the less capable foreigner. He is now not only permitted, but enjoined (by custom,...
第 205 頁 - ... state, were given with a coquetry, and an air of affectionate intimacy, which would have been exquisitely becoming and attractive in a pretty woman. " My reverence for truth compels me to add, that not the slightest trace of English brutality was to be perceived ; they were more like French people, though their gaiety was mingled with more humour, and more genuine good nature ; both of which are national traits of the Irish, and are always doubled by poteen (the best sort of whisky, illicitly...
第 204 頁 - The lowest sort of rope-dancers and posture-masters exercised their toilsome vocation on stages of planks, and dressed in shabby finery, dancing and grimacing in the dreadful heat till they were completely exhausted. A third part of the public lay, or rather rolled about, drunk ; others ate, screamed, shouted and fought. The women rode about, sitting two and three upon an ass, pushed their way through the crowd, smoked with great delight, and coquetted with their sweethearts. The most ridiculous...
第 274 頁 - The hat was immediately recognized as Edward's ; and as he was nowhere to be found, fears were soon entertained that he had been murdered with his friend. The terrified father mounted his horse, and accompanied by a crowd of people calling for vengeance, swore solemnly that nothing should save the murderer, were he even compelled to execute him with his own hands. We may imagine the shouts of joy, and the feelings of the father, when at break of day Edward Lynch was found sunk under a tree, living,...
第 175 頁 - English weakness — that of talking incessantly of fashionable acquaintances, and trying to pass for very recherche, to a degree quite unworthy of a woman of such distinguished talents ; she is not at all aware how she thus underrates herself.
第 167 頁 - W park is indeed the most delightful in its kind that can be imagined. Scenery, by nature most beautiful, is improved by art to the highest degree of its capability ; and without destroying its free and wild character, a variety and richness of vegetation is produced which enchant the eye.
第 77 頁 - Welsh, in consequence of the oppressions of English governors in the earlier times of partial and momentary conquest, had declared to the king that they would obey none but a prince of their own nation. Edward therefore sent for his wife Eleanor in the depth of winter, that she might lie-in in Caernarvon Castle. She bore a prince ; upon which the king summoned the nobles and chiefs of the land, and asked them solemnly whether they would submit to the rule of a prince who was born in Wales, and could...
第 x 頁 - ... (What does the Patriarch mean ?) " We represent him to ourselves as of dignified and prepossessing exterior. He knows how instantly to place himself on an equality with high and low, and to be welcome to all ; — that he excites the attention of women is natural enough — he attracts and is attracted ; but his experience of the world enables him to terminate any little affaires du cceur without violence or indecorum.
