DEAD SOULSPART ICHAPTER ITo the door of an inn in the provincial town of N. there drew up a smart britchkaa light spring-carriage of the sort affected by bachelors, retired lieutenant-colonels, staff-captains, land-owners possessed of about a hundred souls, and, in short, all persons who rank as gentlemen of the intermediate category. In the britchka was seated such a gentlemana man who, though not handsome, was not ill-favoured, not over-fat, and not over-thin. Also, though not over-elderly, h
Lavengro, The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priestby George BorrowPREFACEIN the following pages I have endeavoured to describe a dream,partly of study, partly of adventure, in which will be foundcopious notices of books, and many descriptions of life andmanners, some in a very unusual form.The scenes of action lie in the British Islands; - pray be notdispleased, gentle reader, if perchance thou hast imagined that Iwas about to conduct thee to distant lands, and didst promise...
The Queen of the Pirate Isleby Bret HarteI first knew her as the Queen of the Pirate Isle. To the best ofmy recollection she had no reasonable right to that title. She wasonly nine years old, inclined to plumpness and good humor,deprecated violence, and had never been to sea. Need it be addedthat she did NOT live in an island and that her name was Polly?Perhaps I ought to explain that she had already known otherexperiences of a purely imaginative character. Part of her...
“好的,一个半小时后,我们见面。”苏阳稍稍地收拾了一下,换了件衣服,对着镜子梳理了一下头发。镜中呈现的是一张还算英俊的脸,干净而又不失硬朗,只是少了些年轻的朝气,多了点灯红酒绿生活的颓靡。苏阳出门坐上公车。网友朱素留给他的地址离他家有相当的一段路程,中间转一趟车,估计最少得一个多小时。他看了一下手表,6点55分,也就是说,差不多8点30可以与她见面,然后彼此用身体在都市水泥的森林中取暖,相拥着度过一个激情之夜……想到这里,苏阳不觉愉快地吹了下口哨。网络情缘,或说网络一夜情,他经历的并不算少,不过从来没有像此次这般顺利。在网上相识仅仅半个小时,朱素不但给他留了手机号、住址,甚至还发了照片。照片中的女子清新可人又韵味十足,对于苏阳这样的猎艳者,她的确是很吸引人的猎物。苏阳甚至在考虑是否有机会将彼此的关系延长些,比如可以做一对周末情人。苏阳想她应该会乐于接受他的提议,因为从...

PREFACE TOTHE CHARLES DICKENS EDITIONI REMARKED in the original Preface to this Book, that I did notfind it easy to get sufficiently far away from it, in the firstsensations of having finished it, to refer to it with the composurewhich this formal heading would seem to require. My interest in itwas so recent and strong, and my mind was so divided betweenpleasure and regret - pleasure in the achievement of a long design,regret in the separation from many companions - that I was in...
时尚女子宣言 我用勇气追求梦想, 也用智慧投资我的“形象资产”, 美丽和魅力无法量化, 我回收的却是它们为我带来的非凡价值。 基本配色法则 时尚观点 :系统化配色法,让你轻松拥有与众不同的“美色” 你有自己穿衣服的配色原则吗?你偏爱“黑白配”,还是全身嘉年华般的五彩缤纷?要提醒你的是,保守的“中性色”不见得万无一失,若没有掌握好,会让整个人看起来灰突突的,消失在人群中。“鲜艳色” (此书的鲜艳色泛指非中性色的色彩)的搭配更要注意,一不小心就会像打翻调色盘一样让人眼花缭乱。唯有了解色彩之间的搭配关系,方能真正享受色彩搭配的乐趣,进一步拥有与众不同的“美色”!美丽秘笈 :各种色彩搭配技巧 · 全身穿着相同颜色 全身穿着相同颜色,在视觉上会呈现出很极致的感觉——极致的权威、极致的保守、极致的热情 ……一般而言,全身穿着相同的“中性色”服饰,如黑色、灰色、白色时,在视觉效果上都...
我看到她进来。想看不到也难。她一头金发近乎银色,要是长在小孩头上,就叫亚麻色。头发编成粗辫子盘在顶上,用发针别住。她前额高而平滑,颧骨突出,嘴巴略大。加上西部风格的靴子,她得有六尺高了。主要是双腿长。她穿着紫色名牌牛仔裤,香槟色皮毛短上衣。雨时断时续下了一整天,但她没带伞,头上也没有任何遮挡。水珠在她的发辫上闪烁着,像钻石。她在门口站了会儿,四下张望。这是周三下午,三点半左右。在阿姆斯特朗酒吧,这个时间生意向来清淡。午餐时间的人潮已退去,对下班的顾客来说又太早。再过十五分钟,一对教师将会来这儿喝一杯,之后,罗斯福医院一些四点下班的护士也会来。但此刻,吧台那儿只有三、四个人,还有两个人坐在前头的桌边,刚喝完一瓶葡萄酒。仅此而已。当然,还有我,坐在后面我常坐的桌子边。...
