Strona 142 - Of one that loved not wisely but too well ; Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought Perplex'd in the extreme ; of one whose hand, Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away Richer than all his tribe ; of one whose subdued eyes, Albeit unused to the melting mood, Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees Their medicinal gum.

I swear to you as I shall answer to that Being whose eye alone saw the deed, that she is absolutely pure of it, whatever the evidence may appear to prove to you ! Will you, for my sake, use your utmost efforts to lead the jury to a verdict of acquittal ?"
Strona 112 - Moreover, the graceful little boy at the window of the small backparlour, standing before a large book, open upon a table, muttering, and anon almost reading aloud, whilst the slight movements of his person, and the quick glance of his eye, seemed to keep time (if we may use the expression) with the ideas in the text — that was her son, Frank Merrick, the hope and pride of her heart — and the volume was the second of an edition of Shakspeare, containing, among others, the plays of Hamlet, Othello,...
Strona 115 - I crept into it, with the view of making my way to the outside ; but close to the outer aperture a large stone had slipped from the upper part — the roof, you know, of the hole — and impeded my escape. Instantly — for I heard them descending through the trap — instantly I put my shoulder against it, and lying upon my front, I thrust my heels against projecting stones on each side, and bore my whole force against it. One strong shove, and it shook ; the next — it gave way ; but that instant...
Strona 102 - I watched tor him, and at length observed him, after seeing the large gates of the distillery locked, walk away along the dark and lone street in which it stood. I met him, and going close to him wished him a good evening, and began immediately, and with perfect confidence, to remark upon the circumstances I have detailed.
