My mama departed this life,' said Mrs. Micawber, 'before Mr. Micawber's difficulties commenced
Mrs. Micawber shook her head, and dropped a pious tear upon the twin who happened to be in hand. As I could hardly hope for a more favourable opportunity of putting a question in which I had a near interest, I said to Mrs. Micawber: 'May I ask, ma'am, what you and Mr. Micawber intend to do, now that Mr. Micawber is out of his difficulties, and at liberty? Have you settled yet?' 'My family,' said Mrs. Micawber, who always said those two words with an air, though I neve...

'But I must say this, for the good creetur,' he resumed, wiping his face, when we were quite exhausted
she has been all she said she'd be to us, and more. She's the willingest, the trewest, the honestest-helping woman, Mas'r Davy, as ever draw'd the breath of life. I have never know'd her to be lone and lorn, for a single minute, not even when the colony was all afore us, and we was new to it. And thinking of the old 'un is a thing she never done, I do assure you, since she left England!' 'Now, last, not least, Mr. Micawber,' said I. 'He has pa...

He and some others. He set the others on. It was a deep plot for a large sum.
Sentence, transportation for life. Twenty Seven was the knowingest bird of the lot, and had very nearly kept himself safe; but not quite. The Bank was just able to put salt upon his tail - and only just.' 'Do you know Twenty Eight's offence?' 'Twenty Eight,' returned my informant, speaking throughout in a low tone, and looking over his shoulder as we walked along the passage, to guard himself from being overheard, in such an unlawful reference to these Immaculate...

Be not foolish, O my soul, and do not let the tumult of your vanity deafen the ear of your heart
Be attentive. The Word itself calls you to return, and with him is a place of unperturbed rest, where love is not forsaken unless it first forsakes. Behold, these things pass away that others may come to be in their place. Thus even this lowest level of unity[102] may be made complete in all its parts. "But do I ever pass away?" asks the Word of God. Fix your habitation in him. O my soul, commit whatsoever you have to him. For at long last you are now becoming tired of deceit. Commit to truth...

Next morning, as the very earliest beams of sunrise saluted the grey towers which crown the summit of that singular and tremendous rock
, the soldiers of the new Highland regiment appeared on the parade, within the Castle of Dunbarton, and having fallen into order, began to move downward by steep staircases, and narrow passages towards the external barrier- gate, which is at the very bottom of the rock. The wild wailings of the pibroch were heard at times, interchanged with the drums and fifes, which beat the Dead March. The unhappy criminal's fate did not, at first, excite that general sympathy in the regiment which wou...
