Peerybingle said. I know better. Mrs. Peerybingle may leave it on record to the end of time
that she couldn't say which of them began it; but,
I say the kettle did. I ought to know, I hope! The
kettle began it, full five minutes by the little waxy-faced Dutch clock
in the corner, before the Cricket uttered a chirp. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 42 | Author: | Dickens, Charles, 1812-1870 | Add | | | Title: | David Copperfield | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | I do not find it easy to get sufficiently far away from this Book,
in the first sensations of having finished it, to refer to it with
the composure which this formal heading would seem to require. My
interest in it, is so recent and strong; and my mind is so divided
between pleasure and regret -pleasure in the achievement of a long
design, regret in the separation from many companions -that I am
in danger of wearying the reader whom I love, with personal
confidences, and private emotions. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 54 | Author: | Brock: Franklin, Benjamin | Add | | | Title: | A Modest Enquiry into the Nature and Necessity of a Paper-Currency / by Benjamin Franklin | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THERE is no Science, the Study of which is more useful and
commendable than the Knowledge of the true Interest of one's Country;
and perhaps there is no Kind of Learning more abstruse and intricate,
more difficult to acquire in any Degree of Perfection than This, and
therefore none more generally neglected. Hence it is, that we every Day
find Men in Conversation contending warmly on some Point in Politicks,
which, altho' it may nearly concern them both, neither of them
understand any more than they do each other. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
