Not a man attempted to turn his bridle, as they had done in the first regiment we attacked ; and I do believe, that the two troops with which we came in contact, were annihilated where they stood — a great part cut down, and many trodden under the horses
Página 260 - OF all kinds of solitude, there is none like the solitude of a great town — so utterly desert, as far as human sympathies go. A great town is like an immense Eastern bazaar, where men buy and sell, and are bought and sold ; and without one has some merchantable quality or commodity, or some of the many kinds of coin with which the trade in human relationships is carried on, he is like a beggar in the market-place, and it must be all steril as the plains of Arabia Petrsea.

They were placed a little higher on the ground than we were, and apparently left for the specific purpose of defending the cannon. The troopers were sitting idle on their horses, gazing over the field, with the long line of their backs and of their horses
Página 149 - He was mounted in a moment, behind one of the troopers; and, betaking ourselves to the hollow way, we followed the lime-road, till it again opened out upon the field. To my no small consternation, however, when we were again upon level ground, I found the London burghers, as I expected, it is true, between me and Lord Goring; but my path had been marked, and the body of horse and pikemen which had been sent to reinforce the left wing, was now wheeling on my flank, within a hundred and fifty yards...
Página 57 - Jones have had a full hour's talk every night since first ne joined us ; and they had a short one too before Master Dixon went this evening. I know of no evil, certainly ; but perchance your honour may look to the matter. I did not like to speak to the colonel, for he is so stern-like ; neither, indeed, was it my place : but your honour being captain of the troop — " All servants have — I have remarked — a wonderful pleasure in revealing useful information, when it is too late; though they...

Thus alternately confined between tall crags, and pouring out into wide basins, the beautiful river flowed on ; and, breasting its stream, we passed on in sunshine and shade, till, at last, rushing out from one of the deep gorges through which it poured, we beheld an immense extent of undulating country, covered here and there with wood, and broken in various spots with crags, while, brightly relieved by the deep shadow of a...
