Strana 26 - She vanished, and presently returned with another book, in which she showed Juliet every one of the articles required standing at the tops of the pages, and all the particulars entered under them from the day-book ; so that there was nothing for her to do but cast up the sums, and copy out the heads with their amount in single lines.
Strana 23 - I heard you crying, and knowing you to be a good girl in the main, I am come to your assistance. My name is Order ; your mamma is well acquainted with me, though this is the first time you ever saw me. But I hope we shall know one another better for the future.

You must state separately the amount of every article under the heads of...
Strana 106 - ENVY AND EMULATION. AT one of the celebrated schools of painting in Italy, a young man named Guidotto produced a piece so excellent, that it was the admiration of the...
Strana 133 - Or stretch'd amid these orchards of the sun, Give me to drain the cocoa's milky bowl, And from the palm to draw its freshening wine ! More bounteous far than all the frantic juice Which Bacchus pours.
Strana 84 - Gratitude, I repeat, — gratitude ! Have I not endeavoured ever since I possessed you to alleviate your misfortunes by kind treatment, and does that confer no obligation?
Strana 27 - ... placing them line by line, on the floor of your room." Juliet thought at first that this task would be pretty sport enough ; but when she set about it, she found such trouble in hunting out the letters...
