Seite 103 - To one accustomed only to the well-bred griefs of modern society, the earnest and gushing sympathy with which an Irish girl enters into the joys, griefs, hopes, and fears of those she loves, presents quite a new and delightful reading of human nature — it is most beautiful and eloquent in its character ! She loses all consideration of self: she weeps — she laughs — because those she loves weep or laugh. She forgets that she is a separate creation, and feels as if created for her friends —...
Seite 124 - Can't I go myself, and you stay here ?" she continued. No ; Matthew would not do that. What, let her go alone, as if no one cared for her, to meet her young and handsome landlord ! — He didn't care about the lease — not he — but, to suffer her to go alone ! If she thought it would make her mind easy, his brother Brien, the stonemason, should go to work at the New Pier " forenent" the house, and he would be a safeguard. That was a pleasant proposal ; and in her eager desire to obtain a promise...
