Etext by James Rusk, jrusk@mac−email.com Charles Reade web site: http://www.blackmask.com/jrusk/ PREFACE SHOULD these characters, imbedded in carpet incidents, interest the public at all, they will probably reappear in more potent scenes. This design, which I may never live to execute, is, I fear, the only excuse I can at present Love Me Little, Love Me Long 1 Love Me Little, Love Me Long offer for some pages, forming the twelfth chapter of this volume. CHAPTER I. NEARLY a quarter of a century ago, Lucy Fountain, a young lady of beauty and distinction, was, by the death of her mother, her sole surviving parent, left in the hands of her two trustees, Edward Fountain, Esq., of Font Abbey, and Mr. Bazalgette, a merchant whose wife was Mrs. Fountain's half−sister. They agreed to lighten the burden by dividing it. She should spend half the year with each trustee in turn, until marriage should take her off their hands. Our mild tale begins in Mr. Bazalgette's own house, two years after the date of that arrangement. The chit−chat must be your main clue to the characters. In life it is the same. Men and women won't come to you ticketed, or explanation in hand. "Lucy, you are a great comfort in a house; it is so nice to have some one to pour out one's heart to; my husband is no use at all." "Aunt Bazalgette!" "In that way. You listen to my faded illusions, to the aspirations of a nature too finely organized, ah! to find its happiness in this rough, selfish world. When I open my bosom to him, what does he do? Guess nowwhistles." "Then I call that rude." "So do I; and then he whistles more and more." "Yes; but, aunt, if any serious trouble or grief fell upon you, you would find Mr. Bazalgette a much greater comfort and a better stay than poor spiritless me." "Oh, if the house took fire and fell about our ears, he would come out of his shell, no doubt; or if the children all died one after another, poor dear little souls; but those great troubles only come in stories. Give me a friend that can sympathize with the real hourly mortifications of a too susceptible nature; sit on this ottoman, and let me go on. Where was I when Jones came and interrupted us? They always do just at the interesting point." Miss Fountain's face promptly wreathed itself into an expectant smile. She abandoned her hand and her ear, and leaned her graceful person toward her aunt, while that lady murmured to her in low and thrilling toneshis eyes, his long hair, his imaginative expressions, his romantic projects of frugal love; how her harsh papa had warned Adonis off the premises; how Adonis went without a word (as pale as death, love), and soon after, in his despair, flung himselfto an ugly heiress; and how this disappointment had darkened her whole life, and so on. Perhaps, if Adonis had stood before her now, rolling his eyes, and his phrases hot from the annuals, the flourishing matron might have sent him to the servants' hall with a wave of her white and jeweled hand. But the melody disarms this sort of brutal criticisma woman's voice relating love's young dream; and then the picturea matron still handsome pouring into a lovely virgin's ear the last thing she ought; the young beauty's eyes mimicking sympathy; the ripe beauty's soft, delicious accentspurr! purr! purr! Crash overhead! a window smashed aie! aie! clatter! clatter! screams of infantine rage and feminine remonstrance, feet pattering, and a general hullabaloo, cut the soft recital in two. The ladies clasped hands, like CHAPTER I. 2 Love Me Little, Love Me Long guilty things surprised. Lucy sprang to her feet; the oppressed one sank slowly and gracefully back, inch by inch, on the ottoman, with a sigh of ostentatious

  • Christmas Carol Lyrics
    1 COMMUNITY CHORUS PROJECT, KIDZU CHILDREN’S MUSEUM & UNIVERSITY PLACE PRESENT A HOLIDAY SING ALONG! Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger JINGLE BELLS A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Refrain: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Is the hope of Janice and Jen; Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ev'rywhere you go; Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, Over fields we go, laughing all the way The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh song tonight! (Refrain) Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride sing right within your heart And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot, Santa Claus is Coming to Town We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot.

  • Mandy Mulligan (Nightingale)
    Cavaliers of the Northeast 03/18/12, Williamsburg, VA Judge: Mandy Mulligan (Nightingale) Thank you to the Cavaliers of the Northeast for asking me to judge the championship show in Williamsburg, Virginia this year. Williamsburg holds a special place in my heart as that is the location of my first ever CKCSC show back in 1991. I have also judged here in the past. Lots of fond memories. Special thank you to my ring steward, Ellen Seidman. She did a wonderful job keeping things moving smoothly in the ring. Thank you to all the others on the show committee for an excellent job. I was thrilled to see so many beautiful exhibits. This was a quality entry, and there were many dogs that left the ring without a ribbon that deserved one. Presentation was excellent. It was nice to see so many lovely bitches. Often times, the boys tend to dominate the show. Don’t get me wrong there were many fabulous boys. I love to see a strong bitch line up because I think that really bodes well for their breeder/owner’s future. Junior Puppy Dog (15) 1. Orchardhill Kid You Not (Venier) This beautiful young man caught my attention immediately. He has the sweetest head and expression. Beautiful large round dark eyes. Pigment is deep. Lovely neck and shoulders, correct topline, well angled. He moves with lots of drive. Very happy in the ring. Tons of coat for his age. He was presented beautifully. Best Puppy Dog, Best Puppy in Show 2. Linrica Bye Bye Birdie (Hsiung/Liu) Another lovely blenheim boy with good shape and outline.

  • John Keats - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Keats - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Keats(31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) John Keats was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of romantic poets along with <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/george-gordon-lord-byron/">Lord Byron</a> and <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/percy-bysshe- shelley/">Percy Bysshe Shelley</a>, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death. Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of later poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life. The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature. <b>Biography</b> <b>Early Life</b> John Keats was born on 31 October 1795 to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. Keats and his family seemed to have marked his birthday on 29 October, however baptism records give the birth date as the 31st. He was the eldest of four surviving children; George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818) and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889). Another son was lost in infancy.
