It labors under its guilty possession, and knows not what to do with it. The human heart was not made for the residence of such an inhabitant.
Стр. 195 - Against the prisoner at the bar, as an individual, I cannot have the slightest prejudice. I would not do him the smallest injury or injustice. But I do not affect to be indifferent to the discovery and the punishment of this deep guilt.
Стр. 81 - THE full African moon poured down its light from the blue sky into the wide, lonely plain.

Стр. 149 - On my return home, it occurred to me, in 1837, that something might perhaps be made out on this question by patiently accumulating and reflecting on all sorts of facts which could possibly have any bearing on it.
Стр. 27 - Tell him," said Dick, with a weak little laugh, — "tell him Sandy Claus has come." And even so. bedraggled, ragged, unshaven and unshorn, with one arm hanging helplessly at his side, Santa Claus came to Simpson's Bar and fell fainting on the first threshold. The Christmas dawn came slowly after, touching the remoter peaks with the rosy warmth of ineffable love. And it looked so tenderly on Simpson's Bar that the whole mountain, as if caught in a generous action, blushed to the skies.
