Página 207 - They rode into the outer courtyard, through the muckle faulding yetts, and aneath the auld portcullis; and the whole front of the house was lighted, and there were pipes and fiddles, and as much dancing and deray within as used to be at Sir Robert's house at Pace and Yule, and such high seasons.
Página 247 - I am now on another lay for the moment, purely owing to Lloyd, this one; but I believe there's more coin in it than in any amount of crawlers: now, see here, "The Sea-Cook or Treasure Island: A Story for Boys.
Página 365 - But the comedy which keeps the beauty and touches the terrors of our life (laughter and tragedy-in-a-goodhumour having kissed), that is the last word of moved representation ; embracing the greatest number of elements of fate and character ; and telling its story, not with the one eye of pity, but with the two of pity and mirth.
Página 6 - RESPECTED PATERNAL RELATIVE, — I write to make a request of the most moderate nature. Every year I have cost you an enormous — nay, elephantine — sum of money for drugs and physician's fees, and the most expensive time of the twelve months was March.
