2517 16,2|           trees and walls, in a soil slightly mixed with sand, rather
2518 14,1|             such as it was for eight slivers (sixpence English) a day;
2519  5,1|             of the windmills, on the slope of the hill, the red and
2520 29,1|           like the hills dotting the slopes of a mountain ridge. ~A

2551  8,1|           himself with the following sophism: - ~"Cornelius de Witt is

2561  8,1|              Cornelius van Baerle." ~Specious as this mode of reasoning

2565  4,3|             rival of the Great King, sped away upon his fiery steed, -

2567 17,1|          syllables, which she was to spell for Cornelius, who with

2570 33,2|          which the envious Isaac had spied into the garden; for the

2574 21,2|             quiet! For shame! Do not spoil my pleasure. But tell me,
2575 31,2|            would have been a spectre spoiling the joy of the festival

2584 15,2|              to run to the door, and squeeze the hand of Rosa, who whispered
2585  2,3|           fingers against the pencil squeezed from the raw flesh. ~A cold

2591  4,3|              with the butt-end. John staggered and fell down at his feet,

2597 22,2|         Heaven." ~~At this moment, a star blazed in the southern sky,
2598 19,2|           day lasted. Yet his sudden starts, his listening at the door,
2599 25,1|            all sorts of misery, even starvation and flogging. ~Cornelius,
2600 28,2|              Well, I shall turn your starving me to advantage, and regale

2605 28,1|            female walrus captured at Stavesen, and the only result of
2606 19,2|          coming, but had voluntarily stayed away. Thus Rosa, being at
2607 19,1|            more, and she is right in staying away; in her place I should
2608 23,2|         first entertained an idea of stealing the key, but it soon occurred
2609 32,2|              an instant his snorting steeds stood still, at a distance
2610 11,2|            there is an instrument of steel, which in sixty minutes

2616 28,1|          down from the window, or in sticking wings on my shoulders to
2617 11,2|         handkerchief to her mouth to stifle her sobs. ~Cornelius listened
2618 26,1|         midst of a composition which stimulated his vanity, both as a burgomaster
2619  6,1|            in tulips was no longer a stimulus to his exertions, but a
2620  7,2|            fireplace, knelt down and stirred with the tip of his finger

2623 18,2|              cried at last, with the stoicism of a Roman of old, "it would

2635 22,1|            with a sigh, "the eyes of strangers will see it flower to the
2636 28,1|             of that old villain, and strangle him." ~Cornelius at these
2637  1,3|        downwards, in a line with the straps of his stirrup. ~This troop,
2638  5,3|             patience, and by dint of strenuous exertions, laid out near

2644 17,2|         stone before his window. The strings by which this was effected

2646  1,1|              Witt, therefore, had to strive against a double difficulty, -
2647  1,2|      according to measure, the first strophe of the "Justum ac tenacem"
2648  1,1|              by his mother Henrietta Stuart, of Charles I. of England.

2657  6,1|           the period of Van Baerle's successes. Whilst Cornelius was weeding,
2658  9,2|          with resignation to all the sufferings which God might ordain for
2659  2,3|                No, John; it will not suffice to send a verbal message;
