Suddenly the nightingale up in the thicket becomes silent, stops in the middle of its highest trill, and begins to snarl. As she does so, she feels as if an eel were winding its pliant body round her chest. He is now lying outstretched in midday drowsiness, enjoying the great peace that rests on the lake. The otter, wi... | 7959 | 7959_109185_000007_000000 | female | |
These proved, however, to be the tracks, not of enemies, but of friends. Along the main shore, in spots where the sun lay warm, the spring fisheries had already begun, and the melting snow was uncovering the acorns in the woods.

Fagin appeared to receive this communication with great interest. 'That ain't no word for it. A diseased governor? What's your name?'

He also proceeded as far as Samaria, where is now the city Sebaste, which was built by Herod the king, and encompassed it all round with a wall, and set his sons, Aristobulus and Antigonus, over the siege; who pushed it on so hard, that a famine so far prevailed within the city, that they were forced to eat what never ... | 3289 | 3289_171107_000025_000003 | male | |
The Dutch saw also, but at too great a distance to shoot them, buffalos, stags, and ostriches, and from a single nest they obtained ten ostrich eggs.

The Huntsman pitied the poor Old Woman, put his hand in his pocket, and made her a present according to his means. "It's a lonely road, you know," he called after me. . . . Why not?

'The promise shall be kept. 'Better-much better!' replied Oliver, hastily. Her words and manner had touched Rose Maylie's heart; and, mingled with her love for her young charge, and scarcely less intense in its truth and fervour, was her fond wish to win the outcast back to repentance and hope. 'Tell them to fetch a ha... | 114 | 114_129324_000071_000001 | female | |
Her pallor struck him then, even as the red spot on her cheek deepened, and he held out his arms for the child. She was not thinking, only looking, seeing into the past and down the long vista of her future.

At last, after blundering about like this for many days, getting their clothes torn and their faces covered with mud, they walked right into the King's back garden by mistake.

This is recognized of late by writers that perhaps do not fully mark its significance to economic theory.

When I think of her first, it is always as making some complaint to my father against us. The consequence was that the older we grew, the more our minds were alienated from her, and the more we came to regard her as our enemy.
