| | The Vicar Of Wakefield —5 |
 | | At a small distance from the house my predecessor had made a seat, overshaded by an hedge of hawthorn and honeysuckle. |
 | | Some-times, to give a variety to our amusements, the girls sung to the guitar; and while they thus formed a little concert, my wife and I would stroll down the sloping field, that was embellished with blue-bells and centaury, talk of our children with rapture, and enjoy the breeze that wafted both health and harmony. |
 | | It was about the beginning of autumn, on a holiday, for I kept such as intervals of relaxation from labour, that I had drawn out my family to our usual place of amusement, and our young musicians began their usual concert. |
