273 페이지 - tis not to be credited! There may be a man capable of such baseness, to be sure; but, for my part, till you can give me positive proofs, I cannot but doubt it. However, if it should be proved on him, he is no longer a brother of mine — I disclaim kindred with him: for the man who can break the laws of hospitality, and tempt the wife of his friend, deserves to be branded as the pest of society.
113 페이지 - No— I'll die sooner than forgive him. Die, did I say? I'll live these fifty years to plague him. At our last meeting, his impudence had almost put me out of temper.

118 페이지 - For such is my temper, Julia, that I should regard every mirthful moment in your absence as a treason to constancy. The mutual tear that steals down the cheek of parting lovers is a compact, that no smile shall live there till they meet again.
167 페이지 - For instance, now— if that should be the case— would you choose to be pickled and sent home ? — Or would it be the same to you to lie here in the Abbey? — I'm told there is very snug lying in the Abbey.
131 페이지 - I'll challenge him directly. Sir Luc. Ah, my little friend, if I had Blunderbuss Hall here, I could show you a range of ancestry, in the O'Trigger line, that would furnish the new room; every one of whom had killed his man!— For though the mansionhouse and dirty acres have slipped through my fingers, I thank heaven our honour and the family-pictures are as fresh as ever.
