Strana 485 - He then took my hand betwixt his, and looking me full in the face, while a tear stood glistening in his eye, said, in a low but deeply affecting tone, 'My dear Richard, if you had not been with me, I should have died long ago; I can only thank you, with my latest breath, for your kindness and attachment to me, and if I could have lived to return with you, you should have been placed beyond the reach of want; but God will reward you.
Strana 307 - If the accused," argued they with becoming gravity, " had not had a daughter, the deceased would not have fallen in love ; consequently he would not have been disappointed, consequently he would not have swallowed poison, consequently he would not have died : — but he (the accused) had a daughter, and the deceased had fallen in love,

As soon as the leading mule came to the commencement of the Pass, he stopped, evidently unwilling to proceed, and of course all the rest stopped also. " He was the finest mule we had, and, on that account, had twice as much to carry as any of the others. With his nose to the ground, literally smelling his way, he walked gently on, often changing the position...
Strana 149 - When a negro is so fortunate as to find a diamond of the weight of an octavo (17'/2 carats), much ceremony takes place; he is crowned with a wreath of flowers and carried in procession to the administrator, who gives him his freedom, by paying his owner for it.
