Papers are scattered over the floor. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

signs; and the three combined make one mystery to which humanity has not
yet found the key. I never laughed at presentiments in my life, because
I have had strange ones of my own. Sympathies, I believe, exist (for
instance, between far-distant, long-absent, wholly estranged relatives
asserting, notwithstanding their alienation, the unity of the source to
which each traces his origin) whose workings baffle mortal
comprehension. And signs, for aught we know, may be but the sympathies
of Nature with man. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

We had been
wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but
since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the
cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so
penetrating, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

do not expect you to believe this story. Nor could you
wonder had you witnessed a recent experience of mine
when, in the armor of blissful and stupendous
ignorance, I gaily narrated the gist of it to a Fellow of the
Royal Geological Society on the occasion of my last
trip to London. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
