Side 778 - They entered, the door was closed and bolted, and the mason was conducted through an echoing corridor, and a spacious hall, to an interior part of the building. Here the bandage was removed from his eyes, and he found himself in a patio,' or court, dimly lighted by a single lamp.
Side 778 - ... Emperor's commands were precise and peremptory ; and if ever there was an absolute monarch who allowed his mandate to be trifled with, certainly it was not the Emperor Paul. All that the unfortunate man could obtain from the officer, who was his friend, was just sufficient delay to enable him to throw a small quantity of clothes and linen into a trunk ; and having done this, he was led forth. A carriage, guarded by a sufficiently strong body of cavalry, •was in waiting, and, more dead than...
Side 632 - Nothing, sir :" was the answer. " Nothing, young man!" said the Keeper, emphatically; "then I tell you that you ought to see something — you ought t'o see distinctly the true image of what you are trying to draw. I see the vision of all I paint — and I wish to heaven I could paint up to what I see.

Side 778 - Emperor that he might throw himself at his feet ? His supplications were in vain : the Emperor's commands were precise and peremptory ; and if ever there was an absolute monarch who allowed his mandate to be trifled with, certainly it was not the Emperor Paul. All that the unfortunate man could obtain from the officer, who was his friend, was just sufficient delay to enable him to throw a small quantity of clothes and linen into a trunk ; and having done this, he was led forth.

Side 834 - Any officer or soldier who shall upbraid another for refusing a challenge, shall himself be punished as a challenger; and all officers and soldiers are hereby discharged from any disgrace or opinion of disadvantage which might arise from their having refused to accept of challenges, as they will only have acted in obedience to the laws, and done their duty as good soldiers who subject themselves to discipline.
