Pàgina 65 - I am scribbling away at my Tristram. — These two volumes are, I think, the best — I shall write as long as I live ; 'tis in fact my hobby-horse ; and so much am I delighted with my uncle Toby's imaginary character, that I am become an enthusiast. My Lydia helps to copy for me — and my wife knits, and listens as I read her chapters.
Pàgina 195 - The first part of my life was rather unlucky, as I was placed in a family who judged ignorance the best and only security for obedience. A little reading and writing I got by unwearied application.
Pàgina 198 - ... done smarting with it, when your letter of recommendation, in behalf of so many of her brethren and sisters, came to me ; — but why her brethren?
Pàgina 51 - One half of the town abuse my book as bitterly as the other half cry it up to the skies : — the best is, they abuse and buy it, and at such a rate, that we are going on with a second edition as fast as possible.
Pàgina 5 - One solitary plate, one knife, one fork, one glass ! — I gave a thousand pensive, penetrating looks at the chair thou hadst so often graced, in those quiet, and sentimental repasts — then laid down my knife, and fork, and took out my handkerchief, and clapped it across my face, and wept like a child.
Pàgina 197 - You who are universally read, and as universally admired, you could not fail. Dear sir, think in me you behold the uplifted hands of thousands of my brother Moors. Grief (you pathetically observe) is eloquent : figure to yourself their attitudes ; hear their supplicating addresses ! Alas ! you cannot refuse ! Humanity must comply ; in which hope I beg permission to subscribe myself, reverend sir, I.
Pàgina 196 - My chief pleasure has been books. Philanthropy I adore. How very much, good sir, am I (amongst millions) indebted to you for the character of your amiable uncle Toby ! I declare I would walk ten miles in the dog-days to shake hands with the honest Corporal.
Pàgina 115 - s family greet you with mine ; — we are much together, and never forget you. — Forget me not to the Baron, and all the circle ; — nor to your domestic circle. I am got pretty well, and sport much with my uncle Toby in the volume I am now fabricating for the laughing part of the world ; for the melancholy part of it, I have nothing but my prayers ; so God help them.
Pàgina 2 - The gloomy family of care and distrust shall be banished from our dwelling, guarded by thy kind and tutelar deity. We will sing our choral songs of gratitude and rejoice to the end of our pilgrimage. Adieu, my L. Return to one who languishes for thy society! — As I take up my pen, my poor pulse quickens, my pale face glows, and tears are trickling down on my paper as I trace the word L.
Pàgina 54 - If my enemies knew, that by this rage of abuse and ill-will, they were effectually serving the interests both of myself and works, they would be more quiet — but it has been the fate of my betters, who have found, that the way to fame, is like the way to heaven — through much tribulation...
