Pàgina 307 - THE flower that smiles to-day To-morrow dies; All that we wish to stay Tempts and then flies. What is this world's delight? Lightning that mocks the night, Brief even as bright.
Pàgina 233 - Now the wasted brands do glow, Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud, Puts the wretch that lies in woe In remembrance of a shroud. Now it is the time of night That the graves, all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide...
Pàgina 424 - ... her opponent, Sir Edmund : a very handsome woman, dressed as coquettishly as her widow's weeds allowed. Her face was beautiful, but her vanity spoiled her. Every glance of her eye, every movement of her head and hands, every word that fell from her lips, was a display of her charms, and a demand of admiration. Sir Edmund need not have cautioned me to keep heartwhole : one, so vain and foolish, would repel rather than attract me, even though gifted with beauty rarely accorded to woman. " I have...
Pàgina 3 - Him who smooths thy way Through the dark vale. Seest thou the eastern dawn, Hearst thou in the red morn The angel's song? Oh, lift thy drooping head, Thou who in gloom and dread Hast lain so long. Death comes to set thee free; Oh, meet him cheerily As thy true friend, And all thy fears shall cease, And in eternal peace Thy penance end.
Pàgina 434 - Did you happen to see a parchment lying in that front-room — on the table or on the desk ? We have missed one : and if you should chance to have noticed it, it will be a great assistance to us, as a proof that we need not carry our researches further back than that day." "I don't remember that I saw any parchment," she carelessly rejoined ; " I saw some papers, tied round with pink tape, on the desk ; I did not notice them particularly. I pray you not to make me think about that afternoon, or you...
Pàgina 426 - I cannot spare the time to-day, Lady Clavering. I will search the beginning of next week. But, should there be any letters of yours here — of which I assure you I am ignorant — you will pardon my intimating that it may not be expedient to give them up." "What do you mean ? Why not ?" " Should they bear at all upon the cause at issue, between you and Sir Edmund Clavering " " But they don't,
Pàgina 435 - One more question ere I do go, Lady Clavering. Have you positively no recollection of seeing this lost parchment ?" She looked surprised at my pertinacity. " No : otherwise I should say so. But if I had seen it, the subsequent fright would have taken it clean out of my memory." "It is not Lady Clavering," I exclaimed to Lennard, when I reached home. " How have you found it out, sir ?" he rejoined. " I judge from her manner : it has convinced me that she is innocent. Whoever may have got at the safe,...
Pàgina 423 - I don't answer for how it wowld have gone with me. By the way, Mr. Strange, did Mr. Brightman impart to you Sir Ralph's reason for devising his property to me ? Mr. Brightman would not tell me what it was." " No, he did not. Sir Ralph intended, I believe, to bequeath most of it to his wife, and he changed his intention quite suddenly. So much Mr. Brightman told me," Sir Edmund remained silent, apparently thinking, and then rose to leave.
Pàgina 3 - When death is coming near, When thy heart shrinks in fear, And thy limbs fail, Then raise thy hands and pray To Him who smooths thy way Through the dark vale.
Pàgina 427 - I was sorry to hear it ; sorry that any woman should have been exposed to so unpleasant a fright. " But it was her own fault," I said to Lennard. " Why could she not have sat still ? Why need she have gone into other rooms than the one she was shown to ?" " What right had she to go into them ? I should say,
