Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 2 of 2: A Romance Wiser Raymond, as in his closet pent, Laughs at such danger and adventurement, When half his lands are spent in golden smoke, And now his second hopeful glass is broke; But yet, if haply his third furnace hold, Devoteth all his pots and pans to gold. Old Play. About a week after the adventures commemorated in our last chapter, Mr. Oldbuck, descending to his breakfast-parlour, found that his womankind were not upon duty, his toast not made, and the silver jug, which wont to receive his libations of mum, not duly aired for its reception. "This confounded hot-brained boy," he said to himself, "now that he begins to get out of danger, I can tolerate this life no longer - All goes to sixes and sevens - an universal saturnalia seems to be proclaimed in my peaceful and orderly family. I ask for my sister - no answer - I call, I shout - I invoke my inmates by more names than the Romans gave to their deities - At length, Jenny, whose shrill voice I have heard this half hour lilting in the tartarian regions of the kitchen, condescends to hear me and reply, but without coming up stairs, so the conversation must be continued at the top of my lungs." Here he again began to hollow aloud, "Jenny, where's Miss Oldbuck?" "Miss Grizzy's in the captain's room."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquary and the Black Dwarf, Vol. 2 But the figure of the old grandmother was the most remarkable of the sorrowing group. Seated on her accus tomed chair, with her usual air of apathy and want of interest in what surrounded her, she seemed every now and then mechanically to resume the motion of twirling her spindle, then to look towards her bosom for the dis tafi', although both had been laid aside. She would then cast her eyes about as if surprised at missing the usual implements of her industry, and appear struck by the black colour of the gown in which they had dressed her, and embarrassed by the number of persons by whom she was surrounded; then, finally, she would raise her head with a ghastly look and fix her eyes upon the bed which contained the cofiin of her grandson, as if she had at once, and for the first time, acquired sense to comprehend her inexpressible calamity. These alternate feelings of em barrassment, wonder, and grief seemed to succeed each other more than once upon her torpid features. But she spoke not a word, neither had she shed a tear; nor did one of the family understand, either from look or expres sion, to what extent she comprehended the uncommon bustle around her. Thus she sat among the funeral assembly like a connecting link between the surviving mourners and the dead corpse which they bewailed a being in whom the light of existence was already obscured by the encroaching shadows of death.

Il eut soin de retenir pres de lui Lovel, qu'il regardait comme l'auditeur le plus docile, et il se retournait de temps en temps pour donner un mot d'instruction a sa niece et a miss Wardour, qui les suivaient. Il ne disait rien au baronnet ni au ministre, parce qu'il connaissait leurs pretentions a savoir plus que lui sur cette matiere; et il evitait Dousterswivel dont la presence l'offusquait le regardant comme un charlatan et comme la cause immediate dela perte qu'il craignait de faire des cent livres risquees par lui dans l'entreprise de la mine de cuivre. Le ministre et l'adepte etaient donc deux satel lites faisant leur revolution autour de sir Arthur, qui etait d'ailleurs le personnage le plus important de toute la societe.

Century after century, the narrative penned by the Prefect of Theo doric continued in the main to be a faithful view of the condition of the lagoon and its colonists.
