Pàgina 199 - To-day I go to the Blackfriars play-house, Sit in the view, salute all my acquaintance, Rise up between the acts, let fall my...
Pàgina 449 - I have a good clear income for my life ; a trifle to settle, which I am only ashamed to offer ; a good house (as houses go in our part of the world), moderately furnished, a good many books, a pleasant garden (better I believe than when you saw it), etc. Would to God I might have leave to lay them all at your feet.
