To think of playing cricket for hard cash! Money and gentility would ruin any pastime under the sun.

Nothing so pretty to look at as my garden!

Enthusiasm is very catching, especially when it is very eloquent.

Prejudices of taste, likings and dislikings, are not always vanquishable by reason.

The power of admiring whatever is deserving of admiration, the nice and quick perception of the beautiful and the true, is one of the highest and noblest of our faculties, born of taste, and knowledge, and wisdom, or rather it is taste, and wisdom, and knowledge, in one rare and great combination.

To think of playing cricket for hard cash! Money and gentility would ruin any pastime under the sun.

Autumn glows upon us like a splendid evening; it is the very sunset of the year.
