A bachelor's life is a splendid breakfast ; a tolerably flat dinner; and a most miserable supper.
Seite 96 - And she had then her little darling in her arms, and pressed her to her heart ; then was Susanna happy, and forgot all the cares and the fatigues of the day. At the remembrance of these hours Susanna's tears often flowed, and prevented her remarking the tearful glow which sometimes lit up Harald's eyes.
Seite 172 - IT is with our faults as with horseradish; it is terribly difficult to extirpate it from the earth in which it has once taken root; and nothing is more discouraging to the cultivator who will annihilate this weed from his ground, than to see it, so lately plucked up, shooting forth again freshly...
Seite 260 - ... head peeped out, and two small white arms stretched themselves towards Susanna. With a cry of almost wild joy Susanna sprang forward, and clasped the little sister in her arms. Susanna was pale, wept and laughed, and ' knew not for some time what went on around her.
