I wish we had been here to do it, don’t you, Mr. Whitney?”,"I could not get Isabella further than the door of your house," exclaimed Mrs. Dallas, who was in deep mourning, whether for Maurice or David, or for the loss of Dido, it was impossible to say.,It is over; the curtain is down; the charming transformation-scene has reached its end, and the fairy-queen doffing her radiant robes, descends once more to the level of a paltry mortal.,"I shall!" said David, and rose also.,Various sensations were depicted in Mr Eagle's face as he listened.
