Charles Dickens,
The Holly-Tree Inn — The Bar-maid
(1900)
“ Some moments at the inn-door, The eager watchers say; They come—the cloud of dust draws near— Mid all the state and pride. He only sees the golden hair And blue eyes of the bride.The same, yet, ah! still fairer. ”
Charles Dickens,
The Holly-Tree Inn — The Bar-maid
(1900)
“ She was a pretty, gentle girl—a farmer's orphan daughter, and the landlord's niece—whom I strongly suspected of being engaged to be married very shortly, to the writer of the letter that I saw her reading at least twenty times, when I passed the bar, and which I more than believe I saw her kiss one night. ”
