Seite 107 - He has likewise given a handsome pulpit cloth and railed in the communion table at his own expense.

Seite 80 - I am the more at ease in Sir ROGER'S family, because it consists of sober and staid persons; for as the knight is the best master in the world, he seldom changes his servants; and as he is beloved by all about him, his servants never care for leaving him. By this means his domestics are all in years, and grown old with their master. You would take his valet...
Seite 108 - As soon as the sermon is finished, nobody presumes to stir till Sir Roger is gone out of the church. The knight walks down from his seat in the chancel between a double row of his tenants, that stand bowing to him on each side ; and every now and then inquires how...
Seite 56 - But being ill-used by the above-mentioned widow, he was very serious for a year and a half ; and though, his temper being naturally jovial, he at last got over it, he grew careless of himself, and never dressed afterwards. He continues to wear a coat and doublet of the same cut that were in fashion at the time of his repulse...
Seite 82 - As Sir Roger was going on in his story, the gentleman we were talking of came up to us ; and, upon the knight's asking him who preached to-morrow, for it was Saturday night, told us the Bishop of St. Asaph in the morning, and Dr. South in the afternoon. He then...
