I had cherished a profound conviction that her bringing me up by hand, gave her no right to bring me up by jerks.
الصفحة 226 - ... they had twisted themselves to peep down at me through it. There were not so many papers about as I should have expected to see ; and there were some odd objects about, that I should not have expected to see — such as an old rusty pistol, a sword in a scabbard, several strange-looking boxes arid packages, and two dreadful casts, on a shelf, of faces peculiarly swollen, and twitchy about the nose.
