" The accents which I scarce could form Beneath your frown's controlling check, Must give the word, above the storm, To cut the mast, and clear the wreck. " The timid eye I dared not raise,— The hand that shook when...

The desirableness of entrusting the damsel with so delicate a task was questionable. She might not have had a perfect confidence in...
230. oldal - Bean't we all going to be drowned?" oh! oh! oh!" echoed Betty, suffering scarcely less than her mistress. " Never fear, Bess, old girl, all will come right when you gets some sea-prog aboard," observed Stumps, whose sturdy arm supported the little fat housemaid, as she too leaned over the side of the vessel, proving how completely the ocean brings all ranks to a level, or rather equally turns them topsy-turvy.
