Trang 80 - I am writing opposite Lady Hamilton, therefore you will not be surprised at the glorious jumble of this letter. Were your Lordship in my place, I much doubt if you could write so well ; our hearts and our hands must be all in a flutter: Naples is a dangerous place, and we must keep clear of it.
Trang 78 - I hope some day to have the pleasure of introducing you to Lady Hamilton, she is one of the very best women in the world ; she is an honour to her sex.
Trang 72 - Secondly, the British fleet under my command could never have returned the second time to Egypt, had not Lady Hamilton's influence with the Queen of Naples caused letters to be wrote to the Governor of Syracuse that he was to encourage the fleet being supplied with everything should they put into any port in Sicily. We put into Syracuse and received every supply, went to Egypt, and destroyed the French fleet.
Trang 77 - I must endeavour to convey to you something of what passed ; but if it were so affecting to those who were only united to me by bonds of friendship, what must it be to my dearest wife, my friend, my everything which is most dear to me in this world?
Trang 72 - Thanks to your exertions," said he, writing to Sir William and Lady Hamilton, " we have victualled and watered ; and surely watering at the fountain of Arethusa, we must have victory. "We shall sail with the first breeze ; and be assured I will return either crowned witn laurel or covered with cypress.
Trang 103 - I am quite clear, and I believe I am joined in opinion by all your friends here, that you will be more likely to recover your health and strength in England than in an inactive situation at a foreign court, however pleasing the respect and gratitude shown to you for your services may be.
Trang 24 - My study of antiquities," he says, " has kept me in constant thought of the perpetual fluctuation of everything. The whole art is really to live all the days of our life ; and not with anxious care disturb the sweetest hour that life affords — which is the present. Admire the Creator, and all his works, to us incomprehensible ; and do all the good you can upon earth : and take the chance of eternity without dismay.
Trang 115 - Take care, Fanny, what you say. I love you sincerely ; but I cannot forget my obligations to Lady Hamilton, or speak of her otherwise than with affection and admiration.
Trang 53 - Her influence over him exceeds all belief . . . The language of both parties, who always spoke in the plural number - we, us, and ours - stagger'd me at first, but soon made me determined to speak openly to him on the subject, when he assur'd me, what I confess I was most happy to hear, that he was not married; but flung out some hints of doing justice to her good behaviour...
Trang 126 - This day, my dearest Emma, I consider as more fortunate than common days, as by my coming into this world it has brought me so intimately acquainted with you. I well know that you will keep it, and have my dear Horatia to drink my health.
