Strana 307 - For honour travels in a strait so narrow, Where one but goes abreast : keep then the path ; For emulation hath a thousand sons That one by one pursue: if you give way, C'843 Or hedge aside from the direct forthright, Like to an enter'd...

Strana 267 - Ellen Terry is an enigma. Her eyes are pale, her nose rather long, her mouth, nothing particular. Complexion a delicate brick dust, her hair rather like tow. Yet somehow she is beautiful Her expression kills any pretty face you see beside her. Her figure is lean and bony, her hand masculine in size and form.
