Large wicker baskets were brought forth from the store-room, piled with hats of all imaginable shapes and species; for they were such as had been left by the boys from the commencement of the institution ; they wear none, except...
Pàgina 133 - As such, she attained a position which has become historic in the annals of the School. They who were privileged to listen to her reading have spoken of its grace and force, of its masterly rendering of her author's meaning, and of the delicacy of the reader's intonation and emphasis, as excellencies never approached in their experience and as affording an intellectual feast of the purest quality. The well-known influence, also, which she exercised by her gentle and graceful life over the girls,...
Pàgina 116 - Who does not remember his snuff-box opened with its three systematic raps ; and the peculiar jerk of his elbow when he felt himself bound to refuse some petition ? He was a most perfect master of penmanship ; and, in our opinion, not less so of the ars natandi, which he often told us he had been taught by a frog, having one end of a string tied to its leg, the other end in his mouth, and thus pursuing it, and imitating its movements.

They also reverently and thankfully recognise the Divine blessing as having rested on their joint labours, without which they that build the house labour in vain.

Pàgina 137 - The children took their Bibles to bed with them, read them by the early morning light, pored over them at leisure hours during the day, and especially on first days. The teachers rendered them their best assistance; knowledge of the subject rapidly increased, and with it good; and when I visited them, at the close of twelve months, the whole aspect of affairs was changed.
Pàgina 321 - In a second letter, dated July 19, he wrote to the same friend from Barrackpore : — '' The Indian Exchequer is a huge machine. The English Treasury is nothing to it for complexity, diversity, and remoteness of the points of action. Our great enemies are time and distance; and with all our frontier territories, there is scarcely a day passes that we have not an account of some row or inroad. It is a most unwieldy empire to be governed on the principle of forcing civilization at every point of it.
Pàgina 41 - ... and to be read to them once a month. " That they rise at six o'clock in the morning in the summer, and at seven o'clock in the winter, and dress themselves quietly and orderly, endeavouring to begin the day in the fear of the Lord, which is a fountain of life preserving from the snares of death.
