Side 100 - Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Side 266 - ... the position, with regard to each other, of reader and listener. A little to the right of the glass-door, at some five or six paces from it, stood sidewise the sofa on which Lucy was lying, her face towards the light. She had on a white muslin gown with a blue sash; her broad-brimmed straw-hat was hanging by its blue ribbons on a corner of the back of the sofa, just over her head. Miss Hutchins, her arms crossed before her, sat at the large table in the centre of the room, busily engaged in trying...
Side 221 - From the rising ground opposite frowns mediaeval Taggia, like a discontented guest at a splendid banquet. A little further off westward, the eye takes in the campanile of the Dominican church, emerging from a group of cypresses, and further still, on the extreme verge of the western cliff, the sanctuary of our lady of the Guardia shows its white silhouette against the dark blue sky.

The variety of prospect resulting...
Side 309 - He always appeared, even in his idleness, as if he bore the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Side 3 - Numerous towns and villages, some gracefully seated on the shore, bathing their feet in the silvery wave, some stretching up the mountain sides like a flock of sheep, or thrown picturesquely astride a lofty ridge, with here and there a solitary sanctuary perched high on a sea-washed cliff, or half...
Side 144 - ... own observation. Facts are stubborn things, Miss Davenne, and observation of facts will show you that amongst us there is scarcely an example of wives and daughters bearing the marks of the brutality of their husbands and fathers; that drunkenness is a very rare thing, and so is crime; that there are whole provinces — that of San Remo is one — in which no murder has been committed within the memory of man.
