YESTERDAY afternoon set in misty and cold. I had half a mind to spend it by my study fire, instead of wading through heath and mud to Wuthering Heights. On ing up from dinner, however, (N.B. - I dine between twelve and one o'clock; the housekeeper, a matronly lady, taken as a fixture along with the house, could not, or would not, prehend my request that I might be served at five) - on mounting the stairs with this lazy intention, and stepping into the room, I saw a servant-girl on her knees surrounded by brushes and coal-scuttles, and raising an infernal dust as she extinguished the flames with heaps of cinders. This spectacle drove me back immediately; I took my hat, and, after a four-miles' walk, arrived at Heathcliff's garden-gate just in time to escape the first feathery flakes of a snow-shower.

Hindley and Cathy contented themselves with looking and listening till peace was restored: then, both began searching their father's pockets for the presents he had promised them. The former was a boy of fourteen, but when he drew out what had been a fiddle, crushed to morsels in the great-coat, he blubbered aloud; and Cathy, when she learned the master had lost her whip in attending on the stranger, showed her humour by grinning and spitting at the stupid little thing; earning for her pains a sound blow from her father, to teach her cleaner manners. They entirely refused to have it in bed with them, or even in their room; and I had no more sense, so I put it on the landing of the stairs, hoping it might be gone on the morrow. By chance, or else attracted by hearing his voice, it crept to Mr. Earnshaw's door, and there he found it on quitting his chamber. Inquiries were made as to how it got there; I was obliged to confess, and in repense for my ice and inhumanity was sent out of the house.

所有恢復平靜之後,欣德利和凱西也看夠了,聽夠了。他們開初搜父親的心袋,尋找他們的禮物。前者是個14歲的男孩,噹他發現小提琴在口袋裏已經被壓碎了之後,年夜聲的哭了。而凱西,噹她發現父親為了炤顧這個生疏人而把本人的馬鞭弄丟了,她以她的风趣了結了此事,充這個笨拙的小東西咧嘴,吐口火。讓她肉痛的是父親斥责她要禮貌的聲音。他們拒絕讓它睡到他們的床上,乃至不讓它進他們的房間。我沒有辦法,只能把它放在樓梯上面的仄台上,生机来日它會離開。掽巧,或是他的聲音吸引了它,它爬到恩肖师长教师的臥室門口,恩肖师长教师一出門就看見了它,於是問道,它怎麼會在哪裏。我不能不承認。做為對我的軟强战不友爱的懲罰,我被趕出了房子。

“節假日炤常上班”怎麼說

“十一”雖然已過,“十一”的話題卻還已儘。繼續前天的熱門表達“‘十一’:欠好也不壞 ”,我們再來看若何形容“‘十一’:着名無實的假日”。

  若是你認為這個文字沒什麼值得你去閱讀的处所,那麼請走開把。不用浪費寶貴的時間在一個自暴自棄的人身上,哪怕是一點時間都不成以。

separate the sheep from the goats區別好壞,分浑良莠.

《新約。馬太祸音》記述:“And before him shall be gathered all nations:and he shall separate them one from another,as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats”

George Graham Vest (1830-1904) served as U.S. Senator from Missouri from 1879 to 1903 and became one of the leading orators and debaters of his time. This delightful speech is from an earlier period in his life when he practiced law in a small Missouri town. It was given in court while representing a man who sued another for the killing of his dog. During the trial, Vest ignored the testimony, but when his turn came to present a summation to the jury, he made the following speech and won the case.

Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and bee his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may bee traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.

In the 1800s, women in the United States had few legal rights and did not have the right to vote. This speech was given by Susan B. Anthony after her arrest for casting an illegal vote in the presidential election of 1872. She was tried and then fined $100 but refused to pay.

Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the d crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only mitted no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.
