EVAN HARRINGTON, V1 [GM#33][GM33V10.TXT]4427

A man who rejected medicine in extremity

A share of pity for the objects she despised

A sixpence kindly meant is worth any crown-piece that's grudged

A youth who is engaged in the occupation of eating his heart

Accustomed to be paid for by his country

British hunger for news; second only to that for beef

Brotherhood among the select who wear masks instead of faces

By forbearance, put it in the wrong

Cheerful martyr

Common voice of praise in the mouths of his creditors

Embarrassments of an uncongenial employment

Empty stomachs are foul counsellors

Equally acceptable salted when it cannot be had fresh

Far higher quality is the will that can subdue itself to wait

Few feelings are single on this globe

Gentlefolks like straight-forwardness in their inferiors

He squandered the guineas, she patiently picked up the pence

His wife alone, had, as they termed it, kept him together

I'll come as straight as I can

Informed him that he never played jokes with money, or on men

It was in a time before our joyful era of universal equality

It's no use trying to be a gentleman if you can't pay for it

Lay no petty traps for opportunity

Looked as proud as if he had just clapped down the full amount

Man without a penny in his pocket, and a gizzard full of pride

Men they regard as their natural prey

Most youths are like Pope's women; they have no character

Occasional instalments--just to freshen the account

Oh! I can't bear that class of people

Partake of a morning draught

Patronizing woman

Propitiate common sense on behalf of what seems tolerably absurd

Rare as epic song is the man who is thorough in what he does

Requiring natural services from her in the button department

Said she was what she would have given her hand not to be

She was at liberty to weep if she pleased

She, not disinclined to dilute her grief

Speech that has to be hauled from the depths usually betrays

Such a man was banned by the world, which was to be despised?

Tenderness which Mrs. Mel permitted rather than encouraged

To be both generally blamed, and generally liked

To let people speak was a maxim of Mrs. Mel's, and a wise one

Toyed with little flowers of palest memory

Tradesman, and he never was known to have sent in a bill

True enjoyment of the princely disposition

What he did, she took among other inevitable matters

Whose bounty was worse to him than his abuse

With a proud humility

You rides when you can, and you walks when you must

Youth is not alarmed by the sound of big sums
