Σελίδα 9 - Ay, your times were fine times indeed; you have been telling us of them for many a long year. Here we live in an old rumbling mansion, that looks for all the world like an inn, but that we never see company. Our best visitors are old Mrs. Oddfish, the curate's wife, and little Cripplegate, the lame dancing-master; and all our entertainment your old stories of Prince Eugene and the Duke of Marlborough. I hate such oldfashioned trumpery. Hard. And I love it. I love every thing that's old : old friends,...
Σελίδα 49 - In the first place, I shall be seen, and that is no small advantage to a girl who brings her face to market. Then I shall perhaps make an acquaintance, and that's no small victory gained over one who never addresses any but the wildest of her sex.
Σελίδα 29 - I don't know how — our Bridget, the cook-maid, is not very communicative upon these occasions. Should we send for her, she might scold us all out of the house.
Σελίδα 39 - I'm to have any good, let it come of itself; not to keep dinging it, dinging It into one so. Mrs. Hard. That's false; I never see you when you're in spirits.

Σελίδα 26 - Which might consist of about five thousand men, well appointed with stores, ammunition, and other implements of war. ' Now,' says the Duke of Marlborough to George Brooks, that stood next to him — You must have heard of George Brooks — ' I'll pawn my dukedom,' says he, 'but I take that garrison without spilling a drop of blood.
Σελίδα 18 - I own, Hastings, I am unwilling to lay myself under an obligation to every one I meet, and often stand the chance of an unmannerly answer.
Σελίδα 12 - Pray, my dear, disappoint them for one night at least. TONY. As for disappointing them, I should not so much mind; but I can't abide to disappoint myself.
Σελίδα 20 - We are to turn to the right, did you say ? Tony. No, no : straight forward. I'll just step myself, and show you a piece of the way. (To the landlord.) Mum.
Σελίδα 50 - And who wants to be acquainted with you? I want no such acquaintance, not I. I'm sure you did not treat Miss Hardcastle that was here awhile ago in this obstropalous manner.
Σελίδα 26 - It's not my way, you see, to receive my friends with my back to the fire. I like to give them a hearty reception in the old style at my gate. I like to see their horses and trunks taken care of.
