Excerpt from Ten Thousand a-YearPurposes of shaving and breakfasting. He stepped at length lazily out of bed, and when he felt his feet again yawned and stretched himself, then he lit his fire, placed his hit of a kettle on the top of it, and returned to bed, where he lay with his eyes fixed on the fire, watching the crackling blaze insinuating itself through the wood and coal. Once, however, it began to fail, so he had to get up and assist it by blowing and bits of paper; and it seemed in so precarious a state that he determined not again to lie down, but sit on the bedside, as he did with his arms folded, ready to resume operations if necessary.

Excerpt from Passages From the Diary of a Late Physician, 1844, Vol. 2It was several minutes before he could disengage himself from the embraces of his mother, who laughed and wept by turns, and uttered the most passionate exclamations of joy and affection. Oh, that your poor old father could see you! She sobbed, and almost cried herself into hysterics. Young Beau champ was deeply moved with this display of parental tender ness. He saw and felt that his mother's whole soul was bound up with his own; and with the rapid resolutions of youth, he had, in five minutes, changed the whole course and scope of his life - renounced the pleasures of London, and resolved to come and settle on his estates in the country, live under the proud and fond eye of his mother, and, in a word, tread in the steps of his father. He felt suddenly imbued with the spirit of the good old English country gentleman, and resolved to live the life of one. There was, however, a cause in operation, and powerful operation, to bring about this change of feeling, to which I have not yet adverted. His cousin, Ellen Beauchamp, happened to be thought of by her aunt as a fit person to be staying with her when her son arrived. Yes - the little blue eyed girl with whom he had romped fifteen years ago, now sat beside him in the bloom of budding womanhood - her peachy cheeks alternately pale and flushed, as she saw her cousin's en~ quiring eye settled upon her, and scanning her beautiful pro portions. Mr Beauchamp took the very first opportunity he could seize of asking his mother, with some trepidation, whe ther Ellen was engaged.I think she is not, replied his delighted mother, bursting into tears, and folding him in her arms but I wish somebody would take the earliest Opportunity of doing so.Ah, hal - Then she's Mrs Beauchamp, junior! Replied her son with enthusiasm.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
