Seite 207 - Hamilton, Eaton, or Derwent in the Handel and Haydn Collection. When Susan sang, her little pupil was in bliss. It wrought upon her so powerfully at first as sometimes to cause fits of weeping, almost hysterical ; and of all enjoyments the highest was soon that of sitting nestled to the kind breast of Widow Bedloe and listening to her and her daughter singing.
Seite 221 - Whether he lived or died he could not have the blood of his assistants required at his hands. He discharged my bonds, set me free, and ordered me to return home. All business had ceased; the destroyer's hand was upon everything. Work I must have, both for subsistence and...
