Strona 33 - Why, Sir, if you were to read Richardson for the story, your impatience would be so much fretted that you would hang yourself. But you must read him for the sentiment, and consider the story as only giving occasion to the sentiment.
Strona 192 - ... solve senescentem mature sanus equum, ne peccet ad extremum ridendus et ilia ducat.
Strona 70 - A pang shot through the child, that seemed to go from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet " Are you awake, Daisy ?•" " Yes, mamma,
Strona 68 - Interea magno misceri murmure pontum, Emissamque hiemem sensit Neptunus et imis Stagna refusa vadis, graviter commotus : et alto Prospiciens, summa placidum caput extulit unda.
Strona 144 - ... lam iam non domus accipiet te laeta, neque uxor Optima nee dulces occurrent oscula nati Praeripere, et tacita pectus dulcedine tangent.

Strona 91 - I have listened with the greatest pleasure to all that your brilliant intelligence has inspired ; and with all your great principles, which I understand very well, one would make fine books, but very bad business. You forget in all your plans of reform the difference in our positions ; you only work on paper, which endures all things ; it opposes no obstacle either to your imagination or to your pen. But I, poor Empress as I am, work on the human skin, which is irritable and ticklish to a very different...
