As soon as we were seated, he examined my countenance with great attention, and then began to sob ; tears rolled down his cheeks ; he was evidently labouring under some intense emotion.
Page 317 - I'll sit and work ; then think when you're away ; Less tedious I shall find the time, dear William, of your stay. A meet companion soon I'll be for e'en your studious hours, And teacher of those little ones you call your cottage flowers ; And if we be not rich and great, we may be wise and kind, And as my heart can warm your heart, so may my mind your mind.
