139 ページ - Edward did not even consult his friend the schoolmaster about what he had done, but took the packet the next morning to the nearest coach town, and called on his friend William on his return, intending to keep from him, also, the knowledge of what he had done.

Mary's heart beat violently as her companion, drawing her arm from his, presented her to his sovereign, who graciously bade her speak her wishes without fear.

132 ページ - Tied up to the table, you gray little thing ! You shall twirl round and round, like a brisk wind-mill sail, You poor little simpleton, after your tail ; And jump in affright from a shade on the wall ; And spring like a tiger on nothing at all — While my father will lay his old book on his knee And my mother look up from her knitting to see.
