Seite 30 - I despise nothing that is good of its sort ; but I am too proud now to eat of it. Sitting by Miss Burney makes me very proud to-day !' ' Miss Burney,' said Mrs. Thrale, laughing, ' you must take great care of your heart if Dr. Johnson attacks it ; for I assure you he is not often successless.
Seite 423 - ... if Mrs. Schwellenberg is alone, I never quit her for a minute, till I come to my little supper at near eleven. Between eleven and twelve my last summons usually takes place, earlier and later occasionally. Twenty minutes is the customary time then spent with the queen: half an hour, I believe, is seldom exceeded.

Seite 39 - is fond of his ' Vicar of Wakefield : ' and so am I ; — don't you like it, sir? " " No, madam, it is very faulty ; there is nothing of real life in it, and very little of nature. It is a mere fanciful performance.
Seite 153 - This was their brother, a most lovely boy of ten years of age, who seems to be not merely the wonder of their family, but of the times, for his astonishing skill in drawing.* They protest he has never had any instruction, yet showed us some of his productions that were really beautiful.
Seite 386 - I believe not, sir," answered Mrs. Delany ; " at least, she does not tell ?" " Oh !" cried he, laughing, " that's nothing ! she is not apt to tell ; she never does tell, you know ! — Her father told me that himself. He told me the whole history of her Evelina. And I shall never forget his face when he spoke of his feelings at first taking up the book ! — he looked quite frightened, just as if he was doing it that moment ! I never can forget his face while I live !" Then coming up close to me,...
Seite 55 - Levat, madam, is a brutal fellow, but I have a good regard for him ; for his brutality is in his manners, not his mind.
