第 47 頁 - Church, and came upon his young friend, playing at fives with the ball he had given him, as energetically as he had before played with the brass button. Shoeblacks are compelled to a great deal of unavoidable " loafing " ; but certainly this one loafed rather energetically, for he was hot and frantic in his play. He was very glad to see Charles. He parted his matted hair from his face, and looked at him admiringly with a pleasant smile ; then he suddenly said — " You was drunk last night, worn't...

第 337 頁 - Phrenologically speaking, he had a very high square head, very flat at the sides : and, when I saw him, when he was nearly eighty, he was the handsomest old man I had ever seen. He had a florid, pure complexion. His face was without a wrinkle. His eyebrows were black, and his hair seemed to refuse to be grey. There was as much black as grey in it to the last. His eye was most extraordinary — a deep blue-grey. I can look a man as straight in the face as any one ; but when Lord Saltire turned those...
第 159 頁 - Mangare stairs. A flood of historical recollections comes over Charles, and he recognises the place as one long known and very dear to him. On those very stairs, Mr. Midshipman Easy stood, and resolved that he would take a boat and sail to Gozo. What followed on his resolution is a matter of history. Other events have taken place at Malta, but Charles did not think of them ; not even of St. Paul and the viper, or the old windy dispute, in Greek Testament lecture, between this Melita and the other...
第 142 頁 - The wording of her advertisement gives rise to this train, of thought. Two persons must always be concerned in stealing a dog — the person who steals the dog, and the person who has the dog stolen ; because, if the dog did not belong to any one, it is evident that no one could steal it.
