He was, indeed, in every sense of the word, a wise, a good, and...
Página 305 - With some difficulty he got down into the glen : he found the gully up which he and his companion had ascended the preceding evening ; but to his astonishment a mountain stream was now foaming down it, leaping from rock to rock, and filling the glen with babbling murmurs.

Página 306 - It was with some difficulty that he found the way to his own house, which he approached with silent awe, expecting every moment to hear the shrill voice of Dame Van Winkle.

Rip called him by name, but the cur snarled, showed his teeth, and passed on. This was an unkind cut indeed.
