Seite 62 - I long for a little walk with you, leaning on me, — or to have a long talk with you, sitting out in some pretty spot, of a fine day, with your long cane in your hand, working at some little weed at your feet, Q2 and looking down, talking all the time.
Seite 62 - We came last night, got up to a delightful spring day, and are now enjoying the little book-room, with the windows open, hearing the birds sing, and the place looking beautiful.

Seite 62 - Pamela has dressed four beautiful flower-pots, and is now working at her frame, while I write to my dearest mother ; and upon the two little stands there are six pots of fine auriculas, and I am sitting in the bay window, with all those pleasant feelings which the fine weather, the pretty place, the singing birds, the pretty wife, and Frescati gives me, — with your last dear letter to my wife before me : — so you may judge how I love you at this moment.

Seite 164 - ... I can't see you.' I went round, and he soon after kissed my hand, and smiled at me, which I shall never forget, though I saw death in his dear face at the time. I then told him that Henry was come. He said nothing that marked surprise at his being in Ireland, but expressed joy at hearing it, and said. ' Where is he, dear fellow?' " Henry then took my place, and the two dear brothers frequently embraced each other, to the melting a heart of stone ; and yet God enabled both Henry and myself to...
Seite 71 - Towards the country the wall is not higher than your knee, and this covered with bushes : from these open parts you have a view of a pretty cultivated country, till your eye is stopped by the Curragh. From our place there is a back way to these fields, so as to go out and walk, without having to do with the town. " This, dearest mother, is the spot as well as I can give it you, but it don't describe well * ; one must see it and feel it ; it is all the little peeps and ideas that go with it that make...
Seite 71 - In front, you come into the parlour, a good room, with a bay window looking into the garden, which is a small green plot, surrounded by good trees, and in it three of the finest thorns I ever saw, and all the trees so placed that you may shade yourself from the sun all hours of the day ; the bay window, covered with honeysuckle, and up to the window some roses.
