geraint as he had been used to do when he was at arthur's court frequented tournaments

before geraint discouraged to the enemy i saw steeds white with foam and after the shout of battle a fearful torrent

not i by my confession unto heaven said she there is nothing more hateful unto me than this

and evil betide me said he if thou returnest here until thou knowest whether i have lost my strength so completely as thou didst say

sir said he i am going upon a quest and i am not certain when i may come back

and he desired ena to mount her horse and to ride forward and to keep a long way before him

and though thou shouldst desire to see my defeat in my death by the hands of those men yet do i feel no dread

i cannot by any means refrain from sleep through weariness said he do thou therefore watch the horses and sleep not

and when she saw the dawn of day appear she looked around her to see if he were waking and thereupon he woke

and they left the wood and they came to an open country with meadows on one hand and mo was mowing the meadows

my lord he added will it be displeasing to thee if i ask whence thou comest also

wilt thou foul my counsel said the youth and take thy meal from me

i go now lord said he to meet the knight and to conduct him to his lodging

and after they had eaten and drank durane went to sleep and so did eat also

the dates seem unemployed but throughout the period the offices and men of the ship have been unremittingly busy

bows attacked the ship stores surveyed relisted and restowed them saving very much space by unstowing numerous cases and stowing the contents in the lazarette

without steam the leak can now be kept under with the hand pump by two daily efforts of a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes

as the ship was and in a present heavily laid in condition it would certainly have taken three to four hours each day

the engine room staff and anderson's people on the engines scientists with stolen their laboratories the cook refitting his galley and so forth not a single spot but had its band of workers

the main space such as it is therefore extends from the four hatch to the stem on the main deck

under the forecastle are stalls of fifteen ponies the maximum the space would hold the narrow irregular space in front is packed tight with fodder

immediately behind the forecastle bulkhead is a small booby hatch the only henches to the men's mess deck and bad weather

we managed to get three tons of ice one hundred sixty two cockases of mutton and three cockases of beef beside some boxes of sweet breads and kidneys into the space

the sacks containing this last added to the goods already mentioned make a really heavy deck cargo and one is naturally anxious concerning it but everything that can be done by lashing and securing has been done

forage i originally ordered thirty tons of compressed oaten hay from melbourne

the scene is wholly enchanting in such a view from some sheltered sunny corner in a garden which blazes with masses of red and golden flowers tends to feelings of inexpressible satisfaction with all things

k and i lunch with the party in the new zealand company ship rupahu

a third sledge stands across the break of the poop and the space hitherto occupied by the after winch

the quantity is two and a half tons and the space occupied considerable

the ship was over two feet by the stern but this will soon be remedied

they must perforce be chained up and they are given what shelters afforded on deck but their position is not enviable

it is a pathetic attitude deeply significant of cold and misery occasionally some poor beast emits a long pathetic wine

there are generally one or two on watch which eases matters but it is a squash

later in the day the wind has veered to the westward hitting us slightly

oates and atkinson with intermittent assistance from others were busy keeping the ponies on their legs

there was nothing for it but to grapple with the evil and nearly all hands were labouring for hours in the weights of the ship heaving coal sacks overboard and relashing the petrol cases et cetera and the best man if possible under such difficult and dangerous circumstances

no sooner was some semblance of order restored than some exceptionally heavy wave would tear away the lashing and the work had to be done all over again

from this moment about four a m the engine room became the center of interest

the amount of water which was being made with the ship so roughly handled was most uncertain

williams had to confess he was beaten and must draw fires what was to be done

on one occasion i was waist deep when standing on the rail of the poop

the aftergod were organized in two parties by evans to work buckets the men were kept steadily going on the choked hand pumps this seemed all that could be done for the moment and what a measure to count is the sole safeguard of the ship from sinking practically an attempt to bail her out

occasionally a heavy sea would bear one of them away and he was only saved by his chain

and the last dog that was let loose was a favourite dog of arthur caval was his name

then they sounded the death horn for slaying and they all gathered round

one wished that it should be given to the lady best be loved by him and another to the lady whom he loved best

and after midday they beheld an unshapely little man upon a horse and after him a dame or a damsel also on horseback and after her a knight of large stature bowed down and hanging his head low and sorrowfully and clad in broken and worthless armour

i know not who they are said he but i know said guenever this is the knight whom geraint pursued and methinks that he comes not here by his own free will

but geraint has overtaken him and avenged the insult to the maiden to the uttermost

lady said he at the gate there was a knight and i saw never a man of so pitiful an aspect to look upon as he

and geraint greeted thee well and in greeting thee he compelled me to come hither to do thy pleasure for the insult which thy maiden received from the dwarf now where did he overtake thee

i am lord said he and i have met with much trouble and received wounds unsupportable

well that author from what i hear it behoves gwynver to be merciful towards thee

the mercy which thou desirest lord said she will i grant to him since it is as insulting to thee that an insult should be offered to me as to thyself

thus will it be best to do said author let this man have medical care until it be known whether he may live

and being young he changed himself and grew to hate the sin that seemed so like his own of madrid otha's nephew and fell at last in the great battle fighting for the king

and when geraint came to the place wig whenever was he saluted her

heaven protect thee said arthur and the welcome of heaven be unto thee

and inasmuch as thou hast vanquished edneron the son of nud thou hast had a prosperous career

and the maiden took up her abode in the palace and she had many companions both men and women and there was no maiden more esteemed than she in the island of britain

and a year and a second and a third he proceeded thus until his fame had flown over the face of the kingdom

and he greets thee well as an uncle should greet his nephew and as a vassal should greet his lord

and the neighbouring chiefs knowing this grow insolent toward him and cover his land in possessions

and arthur told geraint the cause of the mission and of the coming of the ambassadors to him out of cornwall truly said geraint be it to my advantage or disadvantage lord i will do according to thy will concerning this embassy

said geraint i think i shall have enough of knighthood with me and they set forth

and never was there seen a fairer host journeying towards the severn

and he said to geraint i am a feeble and an aged man and whilst i was able to maintain the dominions for thee and for myself i did so

and they were not long in giving so eager was every one to bestow gifts and of those who came to ask gifts none departed unsatisfied

then jerane sent ambassadors to the men of cornwall to ask them this

and they all said that it would be the fullness of joy and honour to them for geraint to come and receive their homage

a number of other dates were observed by the christian church at various times as the birthday of jesus the gospels give no date and appear to be quite uncertain really ignorant about it

why this discrepancy in the historical document to say nothing about inspiration

again matthew says that to escape the evil designs of herod marian joseph with the infant jesus fled into egypt luke says nothing about this hurried flight nor of herod's intention to kill the infant messiah

when we come to the more important chapters about jesus we meet with greater difficulties

while it is always on up friday that the crucifixion is commemorated the week in which the day occurs varies from year to year

good friday falls not before the spring equinox but as soon after the spring equinox as the full moon allows thus making the calculation to depend upon the position of the sun and the zodiac and the phases of the moon

but in the absence of evidence origin offers have following metaphysical arguments against the sceptical celsus one

if we are to have any mythology at all he seems to argue why object to adding to it the mys of jesus

the immediate companions of jesus appear to be on the other hand as mythical as he is himself

if peter ever went to rome with a new doctrine how is it that no historian has taken note of him

it is impossible to explain why the contemporaries of jesus the authors and the historians of his time do not take notice of him

how then are we to decide which of the enumerous candidates for divine honours should be given our votes

and such a faith is never free it is always maintained by the sword now and by hell fire hereafter

only a mythical jesus could virtually hand over the government of the quarters who have petitions to press upon his attention

moreover if judas could keep his promise there would be to day no misery in the world no orphans no childless mothers no shipwrecks no floods no famines no disease no crippled children no insanity no wars no crime no wrong

how many self deluded profits these extravagant claims have produced

and who can number the bitter disappointments caused by such impossible promises

the same which the preachers of to day give he parried his answer with many words and at length said that the promise was to be taken with the provision that what we asked for would be given if god thought it for our good

but he said if you ask anything in my name i will do it and if it were not so i would have told you

self effort and not prayer is a remedy against ignorance slavery poverty and moral degradation

but i am determined not only to know if it is possible the whole truth about jesus but also to communicate that truth to others

but there is more of a moral tonic in the open and candid discussion of a subject like the one in hand than in a multitude of platitudes

i never deliver a lecture in which i do not either directly or indirectly give full and free expression to my faith and everything that is worthy of faith

oh he tears down but he is not built up is another criticism about my work it is not true

clasping truth in a jail yaging the mouth of the student is that building up or tearing down

when brinnell lighted a new torch to increase the life of the world what was his reward the stake

count your rights political religious social intellectual and tell me which of them was conquered for you by the priest

but first let us be impersonal the epithets irreverent blasphemer atheist and infidel are flung at a man not from pity but from envy

not having the courage or the industry of our neighbor who works like a busy beat in the world of men and books searching with the sweat of his brow for the real bread of life wetting the open page afore him with his tears pushing into the wee hours of the night his quest animated by the fairest of all loves the love of truth we ease our own indolent conscience by calling him names

as i approached the city i heard bells ringing and a little later i found the streets astir with throngs of well dressed people in family groups winding their way hither and thither

looking about me i saw a gentleman in a neat black dress smiling and his hand extended to me with great cordiality

he must have realized i was a stranger and wished to tender his hospitality to me i accepted it gratefully i clasped his hand he pressed mine

but the greeks love their gods i protested my heart clamored in my breast

it made athens a sea of light it created the beautiful the true the good yes our religion was divine

i inquired without knowing what his answer would be it was not true

then taking heart i told my guide how more than once i had felt apollo's radiant presence in my heart and told him of the immortal lines of home were concerned the divine apollo

the air was heavy with incense a number of men in gorgeous vestments were passing to and fro bowing and kneeling before the various lights and images

observing my anxiety to understand the mid of all this my guide took me aside and in a whisper told me that the people were celebrating the anniversary of the birth the other beautiful saviour jesus the son of god

forget apollo he said with his suggestion of severity in his voice

if you were to search for apollo in all the universe you would never find anyone answering to his name or description

will he not permit them to touch him to caress his hand to clasp his divine feet to inhale the ambrosial fragrance of his breath to bask in the golden light of his eyes to hear the music of his immaculate accents

i asked my eyes filled with wonder and my voice quivering with excitement

would not that then i vented to ask impatiently make jesus as much of an idol as apollo

and if faith that jesus is a god proves him a god why will not faith and apollo make him a god

the mind prays for knowledge the child asks questions because of an inborning desire to know

with this mythos the prone to man was satisfied until his developing intelligence realized its inanix was born of that realization

the myth of a one eyed people living in india has been replaced by acur information concerning the hindus

it is reflection which introduces a bit into the mouth of imagination curbing its pace and subduing its relentless spirit

we filled a space about and over us with spirits fairies gods and other invisible and airy beings

our feet not really begin to touch the firm ground until we have reached the years of discretion

in the discussion of this subject i appeal to the mature not to the child mind

as intelligent beings we desire to know whether this jesus whose worship is not only costing the world millions of the people's money but which is also drawn to his service the time the energies the affections the devotions and the labor of humanity is a myth or reality

and again when the artist following malicorne's advice was a little late in arriving and when saint agne had been obliged to be absent for some time it was interesting to observe that though no one witnessed them those moments of silence full of deep expression which united in one side two souls most disposed to understand each other and who by no means objected to the quiet meditation they enjoyed together

in a word malacorn philosopher that he was though he knew it not had learned how to inspire the king with an appetite in the midst of play and with desire in the assurance of possession

in this manner therefore without leaving her room and having no confidant she was able to return to her apartment thus removing by her appearance a little tardy perhaps the suspicions of the most determined sceptic

but the door remained closed and neither saint agne nor the painter appeared nor did the hangings even move

the vallary with a gesture partly of extreme terror and partly as if invoking a blessing attempted to speak but could not articulate one word

at the moment however when the king threw himself on his knees a cry of utter despair rang through the corridor accompanied by the sound of retreating footsteps

the captain sitting parried in his leather armchair his spurs fixed in the floor his sword between his legs was reading a number of letters as he twisted his moustache

d'artagnan uttered a welcome full of pleasure when he perceived his friend's son

my own my boy he said by what lucky incident does it happen that the king has recalled you

these words do not sound agreeably in the young man's ears who as he seated himself replied upon my word i cannot tell you all that i know is i have come back

groell was already pale enough and he now began to turn his hat round and round in his hand

what deuce is the matter that you look as you do and what makes you so dumb

said the captain do people nowadays assume that sort of heirs in england

i have been in england and came here again as lively as a chaffange

d'artagnan increased his sharpness of his penetrating gaze which no secret was capable of resisting

i am indeed and you know the reason very well monsieur d'artagnan

i have neither head nor arm do not despise but help me in two words i am the most wretched of living beings oh

she is deceiving you said d'artagnan not a muscle of whose face had moved those are big words who makes use of them

no sensible man ever succeeded in making much of a brain when the head was turned

i have completely lost my senses in the same way a hundred times in my life

you would hear but you would not understand me you would understand but you would not obey me

i'd go far even if i were unfortunate enough to know something and foolish enough to communicate it to you you are my friend you say indeed yes

i never complain as you know but as heaven and my father would never forgive me for blowing out my brain i will go and get the first person i meet to give me the information which you withhold i will tell him he lies and and you will kill him

and a fine affair that would be so much the better what should i care

you now assume a different tone instead of killing you will get killed yourself i suppose you mean very fine indeed

i hardly knew who can have taught you logic but dose take me if your father has not been regularly robbed of his money

raoul buried his face in his hands murmuring no no i have not a single friend in the world

i don't fancies monsieur i do not laugh at you though i am a gascon

upon my word i do not know some one told me there was a carpenter who made an opening through a certain floor

i have told you for the last hour that i know nothing of the whole affair

yes you're all right and he made a step or two as if he were going to leave where are you going

you wish to be consoled by someone and you will be so at once she will tell you nothing ill of herself of course so be off

you are mistaken monsieur replied raoul the woman i mean will tell me all the evils she possibly can

and in point of fact why should i play with you as a cat does with the poor mouth

ah said raoul snatching eagerly at the pin which the captain held out to him

she said in the same tone of voice it is not i who am going to speak to him who then

i accompany my granddaughter to this entertainment her ladyship responded

no need the dress herself like that if it isn't ejaculated mister bunny

when i find a fellow who's neither knave nor full i stick to him believe elsin to find out

the only time he had made any comment upon her was the first time he saw her in the dress she had copied from octavius nicet didn't get it here all wager

in fact she had perfectly confounded her ladyship by her demeanour

i beg you'll not speak to me of that again she said i will not listen

before breakfast miss belinda was startled by the arrival of another telegram which rained as follows

well remarked octavia i suppose that would have been an advantage

octavia was a marked figure upon the ground of that garden party another dress my dear remarked mister burdham

and what a charming colour she has in a clear she's usually paler

she was enjoying herself mister francis burrow observed it rather gloomily as he said apart

and then had come lord lanzod who and crossing the lawn to shake hands with this host had been observed to keep his eye fixed upon one particular point burmaston he said after having spoken his first words who is that tall girl in white

and in ten minutes lady theobald mister burnham mister barrels and the verse others too numerous to mention some suddenly octavia side evidently with no intention of leaving it

not long after this frances burrow found his way to miss belinda he was very busy and rather nervous your niece is evidently enjoying herself he remarked

very few people understand octavia said miss belinda i'm not sure that i follow all her moots myself

she is not as frivolous as she appears to those who don't know her well

barrel said knong his moustache and made no reply he was not very comfortable

he felt himself ill used by fate and rather bush to have returned to london from bottox instead of loitering and slowbridge

he had amused himself at first but in time he had been surprised to find his amusement lose something of its zest

it's deucily bad form on his part he said mentally what does he mean by it

but she glared at barrel thus he passed and beckoned to him what is lucia she demanded

i saw her with burmaston half an hour ago he answered coldly have you any message from my mother i shall return to lend into mor leaving here early turn quite pale

what has happened she asked rigidly he looked slightly surprised nothing whatever he replied

evidently something had happened octavia she said mister dougle binny is at old clow who is he

he is my grand uncle exclaimed lucia tremulously he has a great deal of money

last night she came to my room to talk to me and this morning she came again and oh

she broke out indignantly how could she speak to me in such a manner

i am to run after a man who does not care for me and make myself attractive in the hope that he will condescend to marry me because mister benny may leave me his money

do you wonder that it took even lady theob a long time to say that

well remarked out tavia you won't do it i suppose i wouldn't worry

lucia thought deeply forbe she recognized all at once several things she had been mystified by and before

her delicate nostrils were dilated and she held her head up her breath came fast there was a hint of exultation in her tone

she wondered if he had heard her last words but she fancied he hat

he took hold of her shaking little hand and looked down on her excited face

and then almost before she knew what she was doing she was pouring forth the whole of her story even more of it than she had told octavia

lucia he said i wish you would let me go and talk with lady theobald you she said with little start

if you will say yes to that i think i'd promise that you may never be afraid of her any more

the fierce color died out of her cheeks and the tears rushed to her eyes

i am desperately in love with you he answered in this quietest way

why that thing we must charge you three and a quarter this time the

supper was over and i retired to my upper berth situated alongside and overlooking the brack table where the captain was deeply engaged having now the other pilot as his principal opponent

hedder in short that in taking six quarts of its good see do it thompson i can't very well leave the game now it's getting right warm

this pilot's beating is all the smash the widdy completed we paddled on again

still with all these disadvantages they continue playing they wanted to learn the game

oh pretty glibly sir replied the mate we can scarcely tell what heavy we are making for we are obliged to keep the middle of the river and there is a shadow of a fog rising

this wit seems rather than that we took in the yellow faces but we're nearly out again and must be looking out for more

yes yes replied the captain's mind the bell and ask when it's the price of wood up here

the other pilot's voice was again heard on deck how much have you

they've happened here told thompson to take six chords which would last to daylight and again turned his attention to the game

with taken in the caravan again took her place in the middle of the stream paddling on as usual day at length dawned

i had risen and went out with the captain to enjoy a view of the bluffs

she sat by herself at the fire with unlighted candles on the table behind her looking over the day the happy walk happy sketching cheerful pleasant dinner and the uncomfortable miserable walk in the garden

here was she disturbed and happy because her instinct had made anything but a refusal impossible while he not many minutes after he had met with the rejection of what ought to have been the deepest holiest proposal of his life could speak as if its brief success in all his superficial consequences of a good house clever and agreeable society were the sole avowed objects of his desires oh dear

her mother came into the room before this whirl of thoughts was adjusted into anything like order

mister hale sipped his tea in abstracted silence margaret had the responses on to herself

margaret was preparing her mother's worsted work and rather shrinking from the thought of the long evening and wishing bedtime would come that she might go over the events of the day again

mister lennox had never had the opportunity of having any private conversation with her father after her refusal or else that would indeed be a very serious affair

but she soon felt it was not about anything which having only lately and suddenly occurred could have given rise to any complicated thoughts that her father wished to speak to her

margaret could not bear the sight of the suspense which was even more distressing to her father than to herself

but nothing to the shock she received from mister hale's last speech what could he mean

surely if the bishop were told all we know about frederick and the hard and just

i will answer any question this once but after to night let us never speak of it again

i can meet the consequences of my painful miserable doubts but it is an effort beyond me to speak of what has caused me so much suffering

no not doubts as to religion nor the slightest injury to that he paused

margaret how i love the holy church from which i am to be shut out

margaret could not tell what to say it seemed to her as terribly mysterious as if her father were about to turn mahometan

the one state foundation of her home of her idea of her beloved father seemed reeling and rocking

he swallowed down the dry choking sobs which had been heaving up from his heart hitherto and going to his bookcase he had took down a volume which he had often been reading lately and from which he thought he had derived strength to enter upon the course in which he was now embarked

if when thou art charged with corrupting god's worship falsifying thy wals thou pretendest a necessity for it own order to a continuance in the ministry

as he read this and glanced at much more which he did not read he gained resolution for himself and felt as if he too could be brave and firm in doing what he believed to be right but as he ceased he heard margaret's low convulsive sob and his courage sang down under the keen sense of suffering

i have gone along with south richardge that would have roused any mind less torpid and cowardly than mine

margaret i try to do it i try to content myself with simply refusing the additional preferment and stopping quietly here strangling my conscience now as i had strained it before

he rose and walked up and down the room speaking low words of self reproach and humiliation of which margaret was thankful to hear but a few

i have written to the bishop i daresay i have told you so but i forget things just now said mr hale collapsing into his depressed manner as soon as he came to talk of hard matter of fact details informing him of my intention to resign this vicarage

that will be a trial but worse far worse will be departing from my dear people

margaret i am a poor calvert after all i cannot bear to give pain

she will she must be shocked as the force of the blow returned upon herself in trying to realize how another would take it

to milton northern he answered with a dull indifference for he had perceived that although his daughter's love had made her cling to him and for a moment strived to soothe him with her love yet the keenness of the pain was as fresh as ever in her mind

but he with this quick intuitive sympathy read in her face as in a mirror the reflections of his own moody depression and turned it off with an effort

i am going out for the day to bid father dobson and the poor people on bracy common good by

margaret did dislike it did shrimp from it more than from anything she had ever had to do in her life before

mister hale shook his head despondingly he pressed her hand in token of gratitude

to turn her thoughts she said now tell me papa what our plans are

you and mamma have some money independent of the income from the living have not you an shore has i know

seventy of that has always gone to frederick since he has been abroad

frederick must not suffer said margaret decidedly in a foreign country so unjustly treated by his own a hundred is left

i can always decide better by myself and not influence by those whom i love said he as a half apology for having arranged so much before he had told any one of his family of his intentions

mister hale continued a few months ago when my misery of debt became more than i could bay without speaking i wrote to mr bell you remember mister bell margaret

at any rate he has property there which has very much increased in values since milton has become such a large manufacturing town

said margaret looking scornful what in the world in manufactures what with the classics of literature are the accomplishments of a gentleman

oh said her father some of them really seem to be fine fellows conscience of their own deficiencies which is more than many a man at oxford is

some want the children to be better instructive than they themselves have been

and in milton margaret i shall find a busy life if not a happy one and people and seeing so different that i shall never be reminded of helstone

discordant as it was with almost a detestation for all she had ever heard of the north of england the manufactures the people the wild and bleak country there was this one recommendation it would be different from helston and could never remind them of that beloved place

you see your mother knows nothing about it yet but i think in a fortnight after my deed of resignation is sent in i shall have no right to remain

oh if i were not married if i were but myself in the world how easy it would be

you must not deceive yourself into doubting the reality of my words my fixed intention and resolve

he looked at her in the same steady stony manner for some moments after he had done speaking

the next moment she feared lest this answer to his blessing might be irreverent wrong might hurt him as coming from his daughter as she threw her arms around his neck

she heard him murmur to himself the martyrs and confessors had even more pain to bear i will not drink

they were startled by hearing missus hale inquiring for her daughter

in seventeen fifty he came forth in the character for which he was eminently qualified a majestic teacher of moral and religious wisdom

the vehicle which he chose was that of a periodical paper which he knew had been upon former occasions employed with great success

when i was to begin publishing that paper i was at a loss how to name it

i sat down at night upon my bedside and resolved that i would not go to sleep till i had fixed its title

addison's note was a fiction in which unconnected fragments of his lucubrations were purposely jumbled together in as awed a manner as he could in order to produce a laughable effect

whereas johnson's abbreviations are all distinct and applicable to each subject of which the head is mentioned

public calamities no sense of the prevalence of bad habits negligent of time ready to undertake careless to pursue all changed by time

confidence of others unsuspecting as unexperienced imagining himself secure against neglect never imagines they will venture to treat him ill ready to trust expecting to be trusted

with equals no authority every man his own opinion his own interest

in this as in many other cases i go wrong in opposition to conviction for i think scarce any temporal good equally to be desired with the regard and familiarity of worthy men

i hope we shall be some time nearer to each other and have a more ready way of pouring out our hearts

the greatest benefit which one friend can confer upon another is to guard and excite and elevate his virtues

this your mother will still perform if you diligently preserve the memory of her life and of her death a life so far as i could learn useful wise and innocent and death resigned peaceful and holy

i cannot forbear to mention that neither reason nor revelation denies you to hope that you may increase her happiness by obeying her precepts and that she may in her present state look with pleasure upon every act of virtue to which her instructions or example have contributed

if you write down minutely what you remember of her from your earliest years you will read it with great pleasure and receive from it many hints of soothing recollection when times shall remove her yet farther from you and your grief shall be matured to veneration

number thirty two on patience even under extreme misery is wonderfully lofty and as much above the rant of stoicism as the sun of revelation is brighter than the twilight of pagan philosophy

it must indeed be allowed that the structure of his sentences is expanded and often has somewhat of the inversion of latin and that he delighted to express familiar thoughts in philosophical language being in this the reverse of socrates who it was said reduced philosophy to the simplicity of common life

this idle charge has been echoed from one babbler to another who have confounded johnson's essays with johnson's dictionary and because he thought it right in a lexicon of our language to collect many words which had fallen into disuse but were supported by great authorities it has been imagined that all of these have been interwoven into his own compositions

our extremist pleasure has some sort of groaning and complaining in it would you not say that it is dying of pain

the highest and fullest contentment offers more of the grave than of the merry ipsephalic say nisi temperat premit even felicity unless it moderate itself oppresses

socrates says that some god tried to mix in one mass and a confound pain and pleasure but not being able to do it he bethought him at least to couple them by the tale metrodor said that in sorrow there is some mixture of pleasure

nature discovers this confusion to us painters hold the same motions and grimaces of the face that serve for weeping serve for laughter too and indeed before the one or the other be finished do but observe the painter's manner of handling and you will be in doubt to which of the two the design tends and the extreme of laughter does at last bring tears

and therefore common and less speculative souls are found to be more proper for and more successful in the management of affairs and the elevated and exquisite opinions of philosophy unfit for business the sharp vivacity of soul and the supple and restless volubility attending it disturb our negotiations

he who dies into and in his inquisition comprehends all circumstances and consequences hinders his election a little engine well handled is sufficient for executions whether of less or greater weight

when the lofty thucydides is about to enter upon his description of the plague that desolated athens one of his modern commentators assures the reader that the history is now going to be exceedingly solemn serious and pathetic and hints with that air of chuckling gratulation with which a good dame draws forth a choice morsel from a cupboard to regale a favorite that this plague will give his history a most agreeable variety

the fall of empires the desolation of happy countries splendid cities smoking in their ruins the proudest works of art tumbled in the dust the shrieks and groans of whole nations ascending unto heaven

thus those swarms of flies which are so often execrated as useless vermin are created for the sustenance of spiders and spiders on the other hand are evidently made to devour flies

ancient traditions speak much of his learning and of the gallant inroads he had made into the dead languages in which he had made captive a host of greek nouns in latin verbs and brought off rich booty in ancient saws and apothegons which he was wont to parade in his public harangues as a triumphant general of yore his spolia opima

it was observed however that he seldom got into an argument without getting into a perplexity and then into a passion with his adversary for not being convinced gratis

his abode which he had fixed at a bowery or country seat at a short distance from the city just at what is now called dutch street soon abounded with proofs of his ingenuity patent smoke jacks that required a horse to work them dutch ovens that roasted meat without fire carts that went before the horses weathercocks that turned against the wind and other wrong headed contrivances that astonished and confounded all beholders

it is in knowledge as in swimming he who flounders and splashes on the surface makes more noise and attracts more attention than the pearl diver who quietly dives in quest of treasures to the bottom

the romans by this means erected their colonies for perceiving their city to grow immeasurably populous they eased it of the most unnecessary people and sent them to inhabit and cultivate the lands conquered by them sometimes also they purposely maintain wars with some of their enemies not only to keep their own men in action for fear lest idleness the mother of corruption should bring upon them some worse inconvenience

and we suffer the ills of a long peace luxury is more pernicious than war

and this also was one reason why our king philip consented to send his son john upon a foreign expedition that he might take along with him a great number of hot young men who were then in his pay

what other end does the impious art of the gladiators propose to itself what the slaughter of young men what pleasure fed with blood

prince take the honours delayed for thy reign and be successor to thy fathers henceforth let none at rome be slain for sport

let beasts blood stain the infamous arena and no more homicides be there acted

it was not enough for them to fight and to die bravely but cheerfully too insomuch that they were hissed and cursed if they made any hesitation about receiving their death

at this unexpected command the surprise was great on board the forward

i say answered pen with an oath i say we've had enough of it and we won't go any further

you shan't kill us with hunger and work in the winter and they shan't light the fires

if you repeat what the man says answered hatteras i'll have you shut up in your cabin and guarded

the steam was soon got up the anchors were weighed and the forward veered away east cutting the young ice with her steel prow

between bering island and beecher point there are a considerable quantity of islands in the midst of ice fields the streams crowd together in the little channels which cut up this part of the sea they had a tendency to agglomerate under the relatively low temperature hummocks were formed here and there and these masses already more compact denser and closer together would soon form an impenetrable mass

hatteras still hoped to find an open sea beyond the seventy seventh parallel as sir edward belcher had done

the next day the sun set for the first time ending thus the long series of days with twenty four hours in them

the men had ended by getting accustomed to the continual daylight but it had never made any difference to the animals the greenland dogs went to their rest at their accustomed hour and dick slept as regularly every evening as though darkness had covered the sky

the doctor by following johnson's advice accustomed himself to support the low temperature he almost always stayed on deck braving the cold the wind and the snow

there's more than one amongst us who would like to in imitate them i think

they are cowards mister clawbony those animals have no provisions as we have and are obliged to seek their food where it is to be found

i'm of the same opinion as you johnson and if he only wanted one faithful companion he'll have two

prince albert land which the forward was then coasting bears also the name of grenel land and though hatteras from his hatred to the yankees would never call it by its american name it is the one it generally goes by

on the eighteenth of august they sighted britania mountain scarcely visible through the mist and the forward weighed anchor the next day in northumberland bay

afterward people wondered at admetes's ever smiling face and ever rating being

that was before ed medus sailed on the argo with jason and the companions of the quest

thereafter edmedus having the love of alchestis was even more happy than he had been before

a radiant figure it was and it met us knew that this was apollo come to him again

what years of happiness have been mine o apollo through your friendship for me said ned medic

but still apollo stood before him with a face that was without joy

he spoke and his voice was not that clear and vibrant voice that he had once in speaking to admittance

admit us admittus he said it is for me to tell you that you may no more look on the blue sky nor walk upon the green earth

it is for me to tell you that the god of the underworld will have you come to him at medic and medic know that even now the god of the underworld is sending death for you

if one will go willingly in thy place with death thou canst still live on go ed medic

and then he came upon an ancient woman who sat upon stones in the courtyard grinding corn between two stones

there she was sitting as he had first known her with her eyes bleared and her knees shaking and with the dust of the courtyard and the husks of the corn in her madded hair

he went to her and spoke to her and he asked her to take the place of the keen and goeth death

but when she heard the name of death horror came into the face of the ancient woman and she cried out that she would not let death come near her

admedis took the man's shrivelled hand and he asked him if he would not take the keen's place and goeth death that was coming for him

then admedus went into the palace and into the chamber where his bed was and he lay down upon the bed and he lamented that he would have to go with death that was coming for him from the god of the underworld and he lamented that none of the wretched ones round the palace would take his place

one should go in your place for you are the keen and have many great affairs to attend to

and the words he had spoken he would have taken back the words that had brought her consent to go with death in his place

he lifted alchestis from the bed and he carried her from the palace

and as for admirs he went within the chamber and knelt beside the bed on which alchestus had lain and thought of his terrible loss

i've dragged up from the underworld he thought the hound that guards those whom death brings down into the realm of the god of the underworld

and what a noble thing it would be to bring back this faithful woman to her house and to her husband

he left the palace of edmedus and he went to the temple of the gods

you are held by me death and you will not be let go unless you promise to go forth from this temple without bringing one with you

and death knowing that heracles could hold him there and that the business of the god of the underworld would be left undone if he were held promised that he would leave the temple without bringing one with him

here is a woman whom i am bring back to her husband i won her from an enemy

then at medus raised the veil of the woman he had taken across the threshold of his house

thus when dogmas lead it what the man really and in general wills remain still the same

for these are careful only for themselves for their own egoism just like the bandit from whom they are only distinguished by the absurdity of their means

the deeds and conduct of an individual and of a nation may be very much modified through dogmas example and custom

with an equal degree of wickedness one man may die on the wheel and another in the bosom of his family

it is conceivable that a perfect state or perhaps indeed a complete and firmly believed doctrine of rewards and punishments after death might prevent every crime politically much would be gained thereby morally nothing only the expression of the will in life would be restricted

we who here seek the theory of virtue and have therefore also to express abstractly the nature of the knowledge which lies at its foundation will yet be unable to convey that knowledge itself in this expression

he sees that the distinction between himself and others which to the bad man is so great a gulf only blonds to a fleeting and elusive phenomenon

he recognizes himself his will in every being and consequently also in the suffer

but the latter is the necessary and inevitable symptom of that knowledge

the opposite of the steam of conscience the origin and significance of which is explained above is the good conscience the satisfaction which we experience after every disinterested deed

the good man lives in a world of friendly individuals the well being of any of whom he regards as his own

therefore although the knowledge of the lot of mankind generally does not make its disposition a joyful one yet the permanent knowledge of his own nature in all living beings gives him a certain evenness and even surrender of disposition

for the interest which is extended to innumerable manifestations cannot cause such anxiety as that which is concentrated upon one

the accidents which concern individuals collectively equalize themselves while those which happen to the particular individual constitute good or bad fortune

thus though others have set up moral principles which they gave out as prescriptions for virtue and laws which it was necessary to follow i as has already been said cannot do this because i have no aught or law to prescribe to the eternally free will

further than this it cannot go for there exists no reason for preferred in the individuality of another to its own

yet the number of other individuals whose whole happiness or life is in danger may outweigh their guard for one's own particular wellbeing

so died socrates and geordano bruno and so many a hero of the truth suffered death at the stake at the hand of the priests

weeping is accordingly sympathy with our own selves or sympathy directed back on its source

it is therefore conditional upon the capacity for love and sympathy and also upon imagination

when we are moved to tears not through our own suffering but through that of another this happens as follows

either we vividly put ourselves in the place of the sufferer by imagination or see in his fate the lot of humanity as a whole and consequently first of all our own lot and thus in a very round about way it is yet always about ourselves that we weep sympathy with ourselves which we feel this seems to be the principal reason of the universal and thus natural weeping in the case of death

first of all he certainly weeps for the fate of the dead but he also weeps when after long heavy and incurable suffering death was to this man a wished for deliverance

they were in the land this people said before the moon had come into the sky

and many of the magicians of egypt who had come with keen sesostris stayed in that city of aa and they taught people spells that could stay the moon in her going and coming in horizon and setting

media too his wise daughter knew the secrets taught by those who could sway the moon

for jason was the grandson of crethius and crethius was the brother of athamus their grandfather

as they came to the city a mist fell and jason and his comrades with the sons of fritzus went through the city without being seen

the mists lifted and before the heroes was the wonder of the palace in the bright light of the morning

on each side of the courtyard were the palace buildings in one keen aedus lived with absurdus his son and in the other chalciope and media lived with their handmaidens

and then a dove flew toward her it was being chased by a hawk and media saw the hawk's eyes and beak

we pulled away from that place and thereafter we were driven by the winds back to the mouth of the phasis

ada's heart was filled with wrath as he looked upon them and his eyes shone as a leopard's eyes

his heart was divided as to whether he should summon his armed men and have them slain upon the spot or whether he should put them into danger by the trial he would make of them

and it may be that i shall give you the golden police to bear way after i have made trial of you

she entered softly and she stood away from her father and the four who were speaking with him

she had a dark face that was made very strange by her crown of golden hair

know that on the plain of eras yonder i have two fire breathing balls with feeder brass

then i sewed the furrows not with the seed that demeter gives but with teeth of a dragon

if you can accomplish this that i accomplished in days gone by i shall submit you and give you the golden fleece

but if you cannot accomplish what i once accomplished you shall go from my city empty handed for it is not right that a brave man should yield aught to one who cannot show himself as brave

tumble will like to have me go with him and sing while he place his harp in the streets

yes i will try and then if i do well the little one shall have a merry christmas

but see then it is cold in the streets the wind bites and the snow freezes one's fingers

she thanked tomma and ran away to get ready for she felt sure her father would not refuse her anything

then she washed out little ronz's frock and put it to dry because she would not be able to do it the next day

she longed to make the beds and dress the children over night she was in such a hurry to have all in order but as that could not be she sat down again and tried over all the songs she knew

when she had told her plan peter benary shook his head and thought it would never do but tessa begged so hard he consented at last that she should try it for one week and sent her to bed the happiest little girl in new york

as soon as her father was gone tessa flew about and put everything in nice order telling the children she was going out for the day and they were to mind tom was mother who would see about the fire and the dinner for the good woman left tessa and entered into her little plans with all her heart

poor tessa's heart beat fast as she trudged away with tamo who slung his harp over his shoulder and gave her his hand

it was rather a dirty hand but so kind that tessa clung to it and kept looking up at the friendly brown face for encouragement

see now have no fear give them bellamonica that is marion will make the laugh whispered tama tuning his harp

one fattled frenchman nodded to her and it seemed to help her very much for she began to sing before she thought and that was the hardest part of it

but tama shook his curly hat and answered soberly yes i took you there first where they love music and are of our country but up among the great houses we shall not always do well

but she had made half a dollar for tama divided the money fairly and she felt rich with her share

her hands were covered with chill blanes for she had no mittens but she had put them under her shawl and shuffled merrily away in her big boots feeling so glad that the week was over and nearly three dollars safe in her pocket

how brisk everyone was and how bright the faces looked as people trotted about with big baskets hollywreeths and young evergreens going to blossom into splendid christmas trees

but i can't so i'll fill the socks all full and be happy said tessa as she looked wistfully into the gay stores and saw the heavy baskets go by

who knows what may happen if we do well returned tomo nodding wisely for he had planned as well as tessa and kept chuckling over it as he trudged through the mud

we'll try one more street and then go home they're so tired little one

at the fourth some people let them sing all their songs and gave nothing

testa felt so grateful that without waiting for tamo she sang her sweetest little song all alone

alas mamma said rose and away she went into the dining room close by

as the door opened tessa saw what looked to her like a fairy feast all silver mugs and flowery plates and oranges and nuts and rosy wine and tall glass pitchers and smoking dishes that smelt so deliciously she could not restrain a little sniff of satisfaction

ah yes i shall come with much gladness and play as never in my life before cried tamo with a flourish of the old cap that made the children laugh

give these to your brother said the fairy prince stuffing nuts and oranges into tessa's hands

ah so kind so very kind i have no way to say thank you but runza shall be for you a heavenly angel and i will sing my heart out for your tree cried tressa folding the mittens as if she would say a prayer of thankfulness if she knew how

she got up early to see if the socks were all right and there she found the most astonishing sight

four socks instead of three and by the fourth pinned out quite elegantly was a little dress evidently meant for her a warm woolen dress all made and actually with bright buttons on it

tessa screamed and danced in her delight and up tumbled all the children to scream and dance with her making a regular carnival on a small scale

in her long stocking she found all sorts of treasures for tomo had stuffed it full of queer things and his mother had made gingerbread into every imaginable shape from fat pigs to full omnibuses

little runsaw was accepted with delight by the kind lady and her children and tessa learned the song quite easily

before they went home the kind mamma told tessa she should be her friend and gave her motherly kiss which warmed the child's heart and seemed to set a seal upon that promise

the senator took his seat in the pulpit with the minister on one side of him and the superintendent of the sunday school on the other

so odd were they by the presence of a living united states senator that during three minutes not a spit ball was thrown

after that they began to come to themselves by degrees and presently the spell was wholly gone and they were reciting verses and pulling hair

the usual sunday school exercises were hurried through and then the minister got up and bored the house with a speech built on the customary sunday school plan then the superintendent put in his ore then the town dignitaries had their say

am i in some populous centre of my own country where the choicest children of the land have been selected and brought together as at a fair for a prize no

ah think of that now i could hardly keep the tears back i was so grateful

they could not give him a costly education but they were good and wise and they sent him to the sunday school he loved the sunday school

i hope you love your sunday school ah see by your faces that you do that is right

always love your teachers my children for they love you more than you can know now

and by and by the people made him governor and he said it was all owing to the sunday school

why the people gave him a towering illustrious position a grand imposing position

that poor little boy that left his sunday school became that man that man stands before you

when senator dilworthy departed from cattleville he left three dozen boys behind him arranging a campaign of life whose objective point was the united states senate

never mind polly said jasper there's all next summer and after our winter in dresden and all our hard work over music want to be fine though to jaunt round again and his eyes glistened

and you'll go on drawing and painting till you get to be a great artist ran on polly enthusiastically and then we'll see something you've done in the louve maybe the louve cried adela oh dear me polly pepper

tom selwyn had been very sober during all this merry chatter and now in his seat across the narrow aisle he drummed his heels impatiently on the floor

what's up little mother asked tom in surprise at her unusual manner it's just this tom

when the news was circulated as it was pretty soon that the party was not to be broken into at all till paris was a completed story the jubilation was such as to satisfy even tom

oh isn't it oat's peas beans and barley growed polly as they watched them intently

and his long arm went out and picked a jack and end of an urchin who incautiously regarding such quiet travelers as not worth minding had hovered too near while trying to tease the girls

and presently a woman came and took little blue pinafore off and then the rest of the girls unclasped their hands and the ring melted away and the game was over

i'm glad the girls over here have fun said polly as grandpapa and his party moved off isn't it nice to think they do

two or three days of rest at martiney put every one in good shape and gave them all a bit of time to pick up on many little things that were behind hand

that's my third letter polly announced jasper on the other side of the table now i'm going to begin on joels

one two said polly counting why i thought i'd written three well this one is most finished jasper

dare said tom delighted to think that no terrible result had really ensued from his words that after they were out had scared him mightily

then his face brightened and he said and she's right polly while polly fished a frank out of joel's little money bag that hung in her belt

do get the stamps please jasper and put them on and he took up her two letters and she gave the bag a little pat for joel's sake wishing it was his stubby black hair that her fingers could touch

i don't know where we are going to get an ice white paper for around robin said polly leaning her elbows on the table and her chin in her hands i know ejaculated tom whirling on his heel and dashing out

i want polly too said phronsie wriggling away from the pen that polly held out alluringly

phronsie who hadn't heard what polly said her small head being full of the responsibility of beginning the important letter and considering since it was to be done it was best to have it over with as soon as possible felt as scribbling the letters as fast as she could all of them running down hill

i tell you you don't know my grand daddy he's got lots of fun in him he added

i won't cry any more declared phronsie wiping off the last tear trailing down her nose

then i shall be all as well as ever said polly kissing the wet little face

we must put in little pictures said polly trying to make herself cheery as the work went busily on

polly you always do think of the best things exclaimed jasper beaming at her which made her try harder than ever to smile

i wouldn't feel so badly polly he managed to whisper when phronsie was absorbed with her work he'll like it probably just as father did the chinch bread boy

he seems to accomplish something every time he goes observed jasper drily hullo just look at him now

oh dear me exclaimed adela as her scissors slipped now you've joggled the table again then she caught polly's eye

picture after picture cut from railroad guide books illustrated papers and it seemed to jasper gathered as if by magic with cunning little photographs broke up the letter and wound in and out with funny and charming detail of some of their journey

the rest of it is nice whispered jasper and i ventured to say that he'll like that the best of all

mister king thought so too and he beamed at phronsie so you did he cried now that's fine i wish you'd write me a letter some time

i don't know how to say good bye to you nelly told dorothy and anne next morning

and dorothy went up and down the room like the pictures of cinderella's proud sisters

my uncle is a fireman and he can take us through his engine house

well we have had a good vacation and i'm willing to go to work again

mister bobbsey was down from the city of course to take the family home and now all hands even freddie and flossie were busy packing up

there were the shells to be looked after the fish nets besides downy the duck and snoop the cat

captain bull the commander of the small garrison at sebrook permitted him to land but when the governor began to read his commission bull ordered him to be silent

what has happened mister prince wadsworth asked for he could see that the man was greatly excited governor androse has come again gasped mister prince why should that alarm us the fellow though given to boasting is not dangerous or liable to put his threats into execution but he has grown dangerous declared mister prince the liberties of the colony are involved

captain watsworth became a little uneasy though he was still inclined to treat the matter lightly

we have stubbornly refused to yield our charter voluntarily for it is the guardian of our political rights

that is true captain wadsworth continued mister prince and to subdue our stubbornness this visor has come to hartford with sixty armed men to demand the surrender of the charter in person

captain wazworth bounded to his feet in a rage and placing his hand on the hilt of the sword declared he shall not have it

the day was well nice spent when he arrived and the members were engaged in a heated debate on a subject of the utmost importance

he consented however to await the discussion but as soon as it was ended he declared that he would have the charter

after that captain had taken two or three turns across the room he paused and asked

mister prince fixed his amazed eyes on the captain's face and read there a desperate determination captain he began

mister prince bowed and hastily returned to the house where the assembly was in session

remember the work must be done right at the time not too soon nor too late

by no means but i want you to be fully impressed with the seriousness of your mission

take your place charles and be prepared to do your part whispered captain watsworth

charles god is close to the long table used by the secretaries as possible without attracting special attention

the discussion went on darkness came and four lighted candles were placed on the table in two set on a shelf on the wall

those two candles on the wall were a great annoyance to charles until he saw a man station near them

though the lights were extinguished through the window the faint starlet dimly illuminated the scene

the youth was close behind him and when they were outside seized his arm

the soldiers began the crowd about the house when at a signal from captain wadsworth the train vance came on the scene and prepared to grapple with the soldiers

you have your soldiers at the door and we have the trained bands of connecticut ready to defend us against violence

we do not know him he does not live in connecticut where does he live

little did the captain or his youthful system dream that their simple act would make the old tree historic

the tree in which the document was hidden was ever afterwards known as the charter oak

it remained the grass bearing fruit every year until a little after midnight august eighteen fifty six when it was prostrated by a heavy storm of wind

when the order from the seizure of the charters was first made known the assembly of rhode island sent a most loyal address to the king saying

he formally dissolved the assembly broke the seal of the colony which bore the figure of an anchor and the word hope admitted five of the inhabitants into his legislative council and assumed the function of governor but he did not take away the parchment on which the charter was written

from that time until the forced union of the colonies for mutual defence at the birthing out of the french and indian war the inhabitants of rhode island bore their share in the defensive efforts especially when the hostile savages hung along their frontiers of new york like an illined cloud

the history of that commonwealth is identified with that of all new england from the beginning of king william's war soon after the expulsion of andros

the neptune the vessel that had struck on the sand bar was now safely anchored near shore and the sailors came in and out in row boats back and forth to land just as they wished

then we had to go back to work at the logs went on the captain and then one of our crew took a fever

finally we had every log loaded on the schooner and we started off

we counted on getting home last week when this last storm struck us and drove us out of our course

the value repeated the captain aside so that the strangers may not hear

while i am a rich man now and so is my mate mclaughlin for that wood was contracted for by the largest and richest piano firm in this country and now it has all but delivered to them and the money in our hands

yes indeed it would have taken us a lifetime to accumulate as much money as we have earned in this year

maybe aunt emily will take you down to the city on her shopping tour suggested nan

he made the clerks remove all the trucks from the aisles and i guessed everybody was glad the army fell down

the wonderful fresh air that these men lived in night and day had brightened their eyes too so that even the plainest faced and the most awkward man among them was as nimble as an athlete from his perfect exercise

called bert who had heard his uncle getting ready to run down to the water's edge

it's a schooner said mister bingham to mister mintur and she has a very heavy cargo

what's that board for asked bert as he saw a board following the cable

they are printed in a number of languages and they tell the crew to carry the end of the cable high up to the mast and fasten it strongly there

oh i see said bert the line will stretch then and the breeches booey will go out on a pulley

missus bobbsey missus minton nellie and her mother besides dorothy and nan were all there flossie and freddie being obliged to stay home with dinah and susan

of course the girls asked all sorts of questions and burton hal tried to answer them as best they could

it seemed a long time before any movement of the cable showed that the buoy was returning

the girls and women were too frightened to talk and nelly clung close to her mother

a big roller dashing in finished the work for the lifeguards and a man in the corspot banded upon shore

everybody gathered around ed nelly with a strange face and a stranger hope broke through the crowd to see the rescued man

oh it is my father she screamed falling right into the arms of the drenched man

but the half drowned man rubbed his eyes as if he could not believe them then the next minute he pressed his little daughter to his heart unable to speak a word

here comes another man exclaimed the people as this time a big man dashed on sands

just as mister bingham said the life saving work turned out to be a social affair for there was a great time greeting nelly's father and hal's uncle

i'm so glad we prayed said little flossie to freddie when she heard the good news

pray captain quos i as i was going down into the cabin is a man never overtaken by death in this passage

why there's not time for a man to be sick in it replied he what a cursed liar for i am sick as a horse quos i already what a brain upside down hey day

was not democrats who laughed ten times more than i town clerk of abdira

nay if you don't believe me you may read the chapter for your pains

i see shores of them depart not perhaps without an innate longing too to quit the island along with those happy snobs

farewell do you friends i say knew little that the individual who regards you from the beach is your friend and historiographer and praser

i went to day to see our excellent vents on board the queen of the french many scores of snops were there on the deck of that fine ship marching forth in their pride and brafrae

they will be at ostend in four hours they will inundate the continent next week they will carry into far lands the famous image of the british snob

i have seen snobs in pink coats and hunting boots scouring over the company of rome and have heard the roads and their well known slang in the galleries of the vatican and under the shadowy arches of the coliseum

my lady marchinus comes on board looks round with that happy air of mingled terror and impertinence which distinguishes her ladyship and rushes to her carriage for it is impossible that she should mingle with the other snobs on deck

the strawberry leaves on her chariot panels are engraved on her ladyship's heart

look at honest nason hanstitch and his lady and their little son

what a noble air of blazing contentment illuminates the features of those snobs of eastern rays

i have sat before i like to look at the peoples on their galler days they are so picturesquely and outrageously splendid and happy

yonder comes captain bull spick and span tide and trim who travels for four or six months every year of his life who does not commit himself by luxury of raiment or incense of demeanour but i think as great a stop as any man on board

baul passes the season in london sponging for dinners and sleeping in a garret near his club

that broad shouldered book with the great whiskers and the cleaned white kid gloves is mister fellam clancy of paul doody's town he calls himself mister duncy he endeavours to disguise his native broke with the richest superposition of english and if you play at billiards or a cart with him did chances are that you will win the first game and he the seven or eight games ensuing

when a growth instance of snobbishness happens why should not the indignant journalist cause the public attention to the delinquency too

how for instance could that wonderful kate of the earl of mangelbertel and his brother be examined in the snobbish point of view

all we require is that a man should be recommended to us by the earl of mangalteshire

it was her snobbish sentiment that mislead her and made her vanities a prey to the swindling fortune tanner

how would you account for the prodigious benevolence exercise towards the interesting young french lady

finally there was a case of deride honourable mister vernon at york

the right honourable was the son of a nobleman and practised on an old lady

then he cast his nets over a family of father mother and daughters one of whom he proposed to marry

one day the trade of fled with a teapot and a basket full of cold pictures

it was a wide honourable which baited the hook which gorge all these greedy simple snobs

alas and alas what mortal man that speaks the truth can hope for such a landlady

and yet all these instances of fond and credulous snobbishness have occurred in the same week's paper with who knows how many school more

we are just the same to persons who is a handle to his n a must desert without it

if you do i cannot help it but i am of a sanguine disposition and entertain a lingering hope

we never write a perfumed paper in short i can't help thinking that if you knew us you would not think a snops

i shall have a black crape who had my white hat and my usual bamboo came with a richly gilt knob

i am sorry there will be no time to get up mustaches between now and next week

seventeen sous me as near as my own time of life but mind i don't say two and twenties too old

that very confident savours of arrogance and to be arrogant is to be a snob

but are there no kindly natures no tender hearts no souls humble simple and truth loving

interest however still runs on in both cases the periodical or accidental payment of it just serving to keep the memory of the affair alive till at length in some evil hour pop comes a creditor upon each and by demanding principle upon the spot together with full interest to the very day makes them both feel the full extent of their obligations

as a reader for i hate your rives has a sorrow knowledge of human nature i need not say more to satisfy him that my hero could not go on at this rate without some slight experience of these incidentals

to speak the truth he had wantonly involved himself in a multitude of small book debts of this damp which notwithstanding eugeneous frequent advice he too much disregarded thinking that as not one of them was contracted through any malignity but on the contrary from an honesty of mind and a mere jacundity of humour they would all of them be crossed out in cause

eugenias would never admit this and would often tell him that one day or rather he would certainly be reckoned with and he would often add in an accent of sorrowful apprehension to his uttermost might

yorick followed eugenius with his eyes to the door he then closed them and never opened them more

nevertheless in general appearance the harrier and the foxhound are very much alike the one obvious distinction being that of size

if you want to hunt your harriers on foot sixteen inches is quite big enough almost too big to run with but if you are riding to them twenty inches as a useful height or even nineteen inches

it is useless to lay down any hard and fast rule as to colour it is so much a matter of individual taste

but puppies are usually sent out to walk and may easily be procured to be kept and reared until they are old enough to be entered to their work

he is of course finer but with the length of neck so perfect in the bigger hound the little shoulders of the same pattern and the typical quarters and second thighs

and when he is fairly on a line of course he sticks to it as the saying is like a beagle

it is quite possible therefore that the beagle was crossed with the welsh southern or otterhound to get more size and power as there certainly was a welsh rough coated beagle of good eighteen inches and an almost identical contemporary that was called the essex beagle

that a great many of the true order were bred became very manifest as soon as the harrier and beagle association was formed and more particularly when a section of the peterborough hound show was reserved for them

one hears now of the choston the household place very noted indeed the holton the lee park the stoke place the edinburgh the surbatan the trinity foot the wooddale missus g w hilliards missus prices and missus turners

eyes brown dark hazel or hazel not deep set nor bulgy and with a mild expression

ears long set on low fine in texture and hanging in a graceful fold close to the cheek

neck moderately long slightly arched the throat showing some dulap

forelegs quite straight well under the dog of good substance and round in the bone

all things which follow from the absolute nature of any attribute of god must always exist and be infinite or in other words are eternal and infinite through the said attribute

proof conceive if it be possible supposing the proposition to be denied that something in some attribute of god can follow from the absolute nature of the said attribute and that at the same time it is finite and has a conditioned existence or duration for instance the idea of god expressed in the attribute thought

we have now granted therefore thought not constituting the idea of god and accordingly the idea of god does not naturally follow from its nature in so far as it is absolute thought for it is conceived as constituting and also as not constituting the idea of god which is against our hypothesis

and beyond the limits of the direction of the idea of god supposing the latter at some time not to have existed or not to be going to exist thought would perforce have existed without the idea of god which is contrary to our hypothesis for we suppose that thought being given the idea of god necessarily flowed therefrom

bear in mind that the same proposition may be affirmed of anything which in any attribute necessarily follows from god's absolute nature

corollary hence it follows that god is not only the cause of things coming into existence but also of their continuing in existence that is in scholastic phraseology god is cause of the being of things ascendi rem

corollary individual things are nothing but modifications of the attributes of god or modes by which the attributes of god are expressed in a fixed and definite manner

i was wishin somebody would give the conversation a start when indian made a break

this ain't no great stock country says he to the old gentleman with the cane

there's very little grazing here and the range is pretty much wore out

the young lady smiled through her veil and the old lady snapped her eyes and looked sideways at the speaker

i'm windown to orleans to see if i can't get a contract out of uncle sam to feed the boys once been lickin them in front of mexicans so bad

i've read some accounts of the battle says the old gentleman that didn't give a very flattering account of the conduct of some of our troops

the old preacher listened to him with evident signs of displeasure twisting and groanin till he couldn't stand it no longer

he should his mouth right in the middle of what he was sayin and looked at the preacher while his face got as red as fire

swearing says the old preacher is a terrible bad practice and there ain't no use in it no how

the old gentleman with the cane took a part in the conversation and the hoosier listened without ever openin his head

he was at soda mengamoro and seen the place where lot's wife fell ah

yes says the preacher he went to the very spot and what's the remarkableest thing of all he seen the pillar of salt what she was turned into

yes sir a pillar of salt jest as it was when that wicked woman was punished for her disobedience

we had then but little of that minute and accurate knowledge of the interior of the continent which was requisite for determination of the problem

several different parties were therefore organized to examine the various routes supposed to be practicable within the northern and southern limits of the united states

the only discrimination made was in the more prompt and thorough equipment of the parties for the extreme northern line and this was only because that was supposed to be the most difficult of execution of all the surveys

inquiries were made with regard to gunpowder which subsequently led to the use of a coarser grain for artillery

the officers of these regiments were chosen partly by selection from those already in service in the regular army and partly by appointment from civil life

under instructions from the president the list was therefore revised and modified in accordance with this new element of geographical distribution

after some further discussion of the question the visitors withdrew dissatisfied with the result of the interview

the quartermaster general on hearing of this conversation hastened to inform me that it was all a mistake that the appointee to the office had been confounded with his father who was a well known whig but that he the son was a democrat

i assured the general that this was altogether immaterial adding that it was a very pretty quarrel as it stood and that i had no a desire to effect a settlement of it on any inferior issue

the social attitude towards smoking in early victorian days and for some time later was curious

now missus quilp he says i feel in a smoking humour and shall probably blaze away all night

there were still plenty of active opponents and denouncers of tobacco

one of the most distinguished was the great duke of wellington who abomin was annoyed by the increase of cigar smoking among officers of the army

the ladies had a kensin for the abominable adour of tobacco and the distrusted the man who smoked

here is fist puddles where thackeray is coming on it what is this smoking that it should be considered a crime

i believe in my heart that the women are jealous of it as of a rival

i will delay a guinea that many lady who has just been kind enough to read the above lines lays down the book after this confession of mine that i am a smoker and says oh the vulgar wretch and passes on to something else

germany has been puffing for three score years france smokes to a man

thus the outdoor of tobacco was not brought into the drawing room

the journalists and the bohemians who met at their coders were about were below the thick taste of fashion and smoking was always a feature of their gatherings

both queen victorian and the prince consort detested it so tobacco was taboo wherever the court was

at that very time at ten in the morning of the second of september napoleon was standing among his troops on the paclonic heel looking at the panorama spread out before him

yet here she is lying at my feet with her golden domes and crosses sinclaating in a twinkling in the sunshine

from the height of the cramme yes there is the crameline yes i will give them just allows i will teach them the meaning of true civilization i will make generations of poviars remember their conqueror with love

i will tell the deputation that i denounce and do not desire war that i forg the war only against the false policy of the court that i love and respect alexander and that in massacle i will accept terms of peace worthy of myself and of my people

i do not wish to utilize the fortunes of war to humiliate and honour the monarch

you will have to be told all the same said some gentlemen of the sweet but gentlemen

a single report of the signalling gun followed and the troops who were already spread out on different sides of moscow moved into the city through word coluga and targamlov gates

his major domo came in a second time to say that the frenchman who had brought a letter from the countess was very anxious to see him if only for a minute and that some one from basitive's widow had a cow to ask pierre to take charge of her husband's book asked she herself was leaving for the country

from the landing where pierre stood there was a second staircase leading to the back enches

he went down the staircase and out into the yard no one had seen him

when he felt that he was being looked at he behaved like asteroids which hide his head in a bush and underneath to be seen he hung his head and quickening his face when down the street

he hired the first account he met and told the driver to go to the patrix pounds where the widow bastiff's house was

he sat down at the dusty writing table and having laid the manuscript before him opened them out closed them finally pushed them away and resting his head on his hand sank into medication

mecca alexevitch came twice that evening shuffling along in his glasses as far as the door and stopped and looked ingratiatedly at the pierre

the officers were bound to take leave but the prince andrew apparently reluctant to be left alone with his friend asked them to stay and have tea

the officers gazed with his surprise and appeared huge stout figure and listened to his talk of a mausico and the position of our army round which he had breden

now being a military man you can say have understood it fully but they understand the general position

well then you know more than any one else be it who it may said prince andrew

pure looked at malcolm with a condescending interrogative smile with which everybody voluntarily rejoiced that officer

we see light again since his serenity has been appointed your excellency sat mocking timidly and continually turning to glance at his colonel

at smolensk too he judged correctly that the french might outflank us as they had large forces

he ordered us to retreat and all our efforts and allows this wind for nothing

well russian was well a foreigner could serve her and be a splendid a minister but as soon as she is in danger she needs one of her own king

i don't understand what is meant by a skillful commander replied the prince andrew ironically

and yet they say that the war is like a game of chess he remarked

the relative strength of bodies of troop can never be known to anyone

success never depends and never will depend on position where equipment were even on members and at least of all on position but on what then

i'm a feeling that is me and in him he pointed to timalkin and he is soldier

the fact is that those men with whom you have ridden around the position not only to now help matters but a hinder

the french has destroyed my home and are only will destroy moscow they have outreached and are outreaching me every moment they are my enemies

since they are my folks they cannot be my friends whatever may have been said at tilset

yes yes muttered peer looking with shining eyes at the prince angel

the talk to us of rules of war of chivalry of flags of truth of mercy to the unfortunate and so long is our rubbish

the plender of the people's houses issue false favor money and worst of out they kill my children and my father and then talk of rules of war and magnimity to fools

prince andrew who had found it was all the same to him whether or not massacre was taken as moulins had been was suddenly checked in his speech by an inspected cramming his throat

he paced up and down a few times in silence but his eyes glittered feverishly and his lips quivered as he began speaking

and in spite of all this it is the highest class respected by every one

and it doesn't do for men to taste of the tree of knowledge of good and evil ah well it is now for long he added

go go before battle one master for one's sleep out repeated prince anjou

his characters get drunk or go mad with jealousy or fall in epileptic fits or rave hysterically

certainly the lust of cruelty the lust of destruction for destruction's sake is the most conspicuous of the deadly sins in dosteeski's men and women

but they are never imbalance they are always in demoniacal conflict

even the last is never or hardly ever the last of a more or less sane man

dosty could not have described the sin of nekhludoff in resurrection

but one had noticed during those last two days that the other was wearing a silver watch on a yellow bed chain which he seems not to have seen on him before

he took a knife and when his friend had turned away he approached him cautiously from behind took aim tanned his eyes heavenwards crossed himself and praying fervently god forgive me for christ's sake

he never paints every man he always projects dost or a nightmare of dostoyevsky

that is why a crime in punishment belongs to a lower range of fiction than anna corena or fathers and sons

we sympathise indeed with the fears the brivado the despair that succeed the crime

he is a grotesque made alive by sheer imaginative intensity and passion

he invents vicious grotesques as dickens invents comic grotesques

was very fond of hanging cats and burying them with great ceremony

as for the caramezovs themselves he betrays the old father and the eldest of his sons hating each other and fighting like brutal maniacs

no melodramatist ever poured out incidents upon the stage from such a horn of plenty

on two opposite pages of the idiot one finds the following characters brought in by name general apartment prince s adelaida ivanovna lizabeta prokofievna yovani pavlovitch redonski princess billokonsky agleya prince miskin colia ivolgan ipolid vaya ferdishenko nastasia philipovna nina alexandrovna ganya titzen and general ivolgen

but the secret of dostievsky's appeal is something more than the multitude and thrill of his incidents and characters

mister murray boldly faces the difficulty and attempts to definition

to him dost's work is the record of a great mind seeking for a way of life it is more than a record of a struggle it is the struggle itself

and those voices take shape in certain unforgettable fragments of dialogue that have been spoken by one spirit to another in some ugly mean tavern certain darkness

ultimately they are the creations not of a man who desired to be but of a spirit which sought to know

to say this is not to deny the spirit of content of dostevsky's work the anguish of the imprisoned soul is at battles with doubt and denial and despair

there is in dostasky a suggestion of caliban trying to discover some better god than sir tabos

the ultimate attitude of dostoevsky is as christian as the apostle peters lord i believe help thou might unbelief

and beyond the dark night of suffering and dissipating the night gustavsky still seized the light of christian compassion

or even by the compassion of others like prince miskin in the idiot

as to the man himself the vicomte de vulgar described him as he saw him in the last years of his life

when he became excited on a certain point one could have sworn that one had seen him before seated on a bench in a police court awaiting trial or among vagabonds he passed their time begging before the prison doors

at all other times he carried that look of sad and gentle meekness seen on the images of old slavonic saints

that is a portrait of the man one sees behind doservsky's novels a portrait one might almost have inferred from the novels

his music is a still small voice unevenly matched against his consciousness of midnight and storm

truth to tell mister hardy is neither sufficiently articulate nor sufficiently fastidious to be a great poet

there could not be an uglier and more prosaic exaggeration than is contained in the image in the last line

take for example the use of the word domiciled in the passage in the same poem about

when we as strangers sought their catering care veiled smiles bespoke their thought of what we were

you did not come and marching time drew on and wore me numb yet lost for loss of your dear presence there then that i thus found lucking in your make that higher compassion which can overbear reluctance for pure loving kindness sake grieved i when as the hope hour stroked its sum you did not come

there are hints of the grand style of lyric poetry in these lines but phrases luck in your make and as the hope hour stroked its sum a discourse that bring it tumbling to the levels of victorian commonplace

he has a temperament sensitive beyond that of all but a few recent writers to the pain and passion of human beings

one can remember paul after poem of his with a theme that might easily have served for mister hardy too late christina the lost mistress the last ride together the statue and the bust to name a few

to have loved even for an hour is with browning to live for ever after in the inheritance of a mighty achievement

to have loved for an hour is in mister hardy's imagination to have deepened the sadness even more than the beauty of one's memories

for then i undistressed by hearts growing cold to me could lonely wait my endless rest with equanimity

but time to make me grieve part steals let's part abide and shakes this fragile frame at eve with throbbings of noontide

and despair is by no means triumphant in what is perhaps the most attractive of all mister hardy's poems the oxen

we pictured the meek mild creatures where they dwelt in their story pen nor did it occur to one of us there to doubt they were kneeling then

the mood of faith however or rather of delight in the memory of faith is not mister hyde's prevailing mood

he can enter upon a wall without ironical doubts as we see in this song men who march away

when shall the sana's softer polities whereof we dream have sway in each proud land and patriotism grown godlike scorn to stand born slave to realms but circle earth and seas

but perhaps his characteristic attitude to war is to be found not in lines like these but in that melancholy poem the souls of the slain in which the souls of the dead soldiers return to their country and question a senior sole flame as to how their friends and relatives have kept their doughty deeds in remembrance

mister hardy has too bitter a sense of reality to believe much in the glory of war

the real world to mister hardy is the world of ancient human things in which war has come to be a hideous irrelevance

it may be thought on the other hand that mister hardy's poems about war are no more expressive of tragic futility than his poems about love

his lovers like his soldiers wrought in the grave defeated of their glory

in beyond the last lamp we have the same mournful cry over severance

no shade of pinnacle or tree or tower while earth endures will fall in my mound and within the hour still unto yours one robin never haunt our two green covertures

they bring us face to face with an experienced intenser than our own

nothing of tiniest worth have i wrought pondered planned no one thing asking blame or praise since the pale corps like birth of this diurnal unit bearing blanks in all its rays dullest of dull hued days

in one corner of the little room kenneth forbes squatted upon a pench with an empty pine box held carelessly in his lap

while duncan worked the boy was busy with his pencil but neither had spoken for at least a half hour

then riding slowly up the hedge bordered road his troubles once more assailed him and he wondered if there was not some spot upon the broad earth to which he could fly for retirement until the girls had left elmhest for good

nora sighed and he looked up to discover that he had nearly run down a pedestrian a stout little man with a bundle under his arm who held out one hand as if to arrest him

that is the same jane as ever he responded with a shake of his grizzled head

do you know i saw a hope she'd performed and i'd be glad to see her again they tell me she's got money

kenneth stopped short and the mare stopped and the little man with a whimsical smile at the boy's astonishment also stopped

they kept track of her because she suddenly became rich and a great lady and that was a surprising thing to happen to

thank you lad returned the man gratefully i thought a little exercise would do me good but this three miles has seemed like thirty to me

there's little danger in this quarter i'm sure so i may as well be friends with the poor child

the letter asking me to visit her was the first i have ever received from her

but since she asked me to visit her we judged she had softened and might wish to become friendly and so i accepted the invitation

surely two girls will have a better time in this lonely old place than one could have alone

that we may conclude she's left out of the arrangement said beth calmly

my mother and i are amply provided for and i am only here to find rest from my social duties and to get acquainted with my dead father's sister that is all

my father teaches music and mother scores him continually for not being able to earn enough money to keep out of debt

we've never seen a cent of her money although father has tried at times to borrow enough to help him out of his difficulties

i even kissed her when she asked me to and it sent a shiver all down my back

for my part i am fond of every one and it delights me to fuss around in village and assist them

you're trying to make me think you don't want elmhus when you're as anxious to get it as i am

i couldn't live in this out of the way corner of the world you know

it's a magnificent estate said beth looking at her cousin doubtfully

such a girlfriend it had never been her privilege to have before and when her suspicions were forgotten she became fairly responsive and brightened wonderfully

they are very charming girls he answered although they are at an age when few girls show to good advantage

very well said the lawyer quietly which of my nieces do you prefer

asked the old lady after a pause i cannot say on so short an acquaintance he answered with gravity which do you prefer jane

i must see that other niece the one who defies me and refuses to answer my second letter

there would be a dozen heirs to fight for my money and dear old elmhurst would be sold to strangers she resumed with bitterness

they are but lukewarm lovers who can content themselves with a dialogue carried on at bowshot distance

his own daughter his only daughter of the best blood of southern aristocracy beautiful accomplished everything to secure him a splendid alliance holding nightly assignation with a horse hunter

he could well concede so much to her caprice since her staying at home could be no disadvantage to the cause that had prompted him to the stern council

it is already known that this road passed the hacienda of casa del korvo at some distance from the house and on the opposite side of the river

on reaching the corpse he dismounted led his horse in among the underwood hitched him by looping his bridal rein around the topmost twigs of an elastic bow then detaching a long rope of twisted horsehair from the horn of his saddle and inserting his arm into its coil he glided out to the edge of the island on that side that lay towards the hacienda

before forsaking the shadow of the corpse he cast a glance toward the sky and at the moon sailing supremely over it

the droll conceit which has so often amused the nocturnal inabriate of great cities appeared to produce a like effect upon the night patroller of the prairie and for a moment the shadow late darkening his brow disappeared

it's not likely if his are unless it be the owner of a bad conscience who can't sleep

if he be abroad there's a good chance of his seeing me on the open ground not that i should care a straw if it were only myself to be compromised

it is true he had designs upon the hacienda but these did not contemplate either its cash plate or jewellery if we accept the most precious jewel it contained the mistress of the mansion herself

he tarried at genisha a few days and came up the garda where i then resided he was apparently without any business that would support him but he soon became acquainted with my son thomas with whom he hunted for a long time and made his home with him at my house winter came on and he continued his day

the enraged husband well knowing that he should feel a blow if he waited to hear the order repeated instantly retreated and went down the river to his cattle

we protected the poor anticok woman and gave her victuals and allen sympathised with her in her misfortunes till spring when her husband came to her acknowledged his former errors and that he had abused her without a cause promised a reformation and she received him with every mark of a renewal of her affection

the indians were soon answered by the american officer that the wampum was cordially accepted and that a continuance of peace was ardency wished for

my son thomas went with them with allen's horse and carried the good

allen on finding that his enemies had gone came back to my house where he lived as before but of his return they were soon notified at niagara and nettles who married priscilla ramsey with a small party of indians came on to take him

nettles at length abandoned the chase went home and allen all in tatters came in

by running in the woods his clothing had become torn into rags so that he was in a suffering condition almost naked

allen made his trousers himself and then built a raft on which he went down the river to his own place at mont morris

there an indian gave him some refreshment and a good gun with which he hastened on to little beards town where he found his core

not daring to risk himself at that place for fear of being given up he made her but a short visit and came immediately to gardo

the love of liberty however added to his natural swiftness gave him sufficient strength to make his escape to his former castle of safety

his pursuers came immediately to my house where they expected to have found him secreted and under my protection

still unsatisfied and doubting my veracity they advised my indian brother to use his influence to draw from me the secret of his concealment which they had an idea that i considered of great importance not only to him but to myself i persisted in my ignorance of his situation and finally they left me

he came to my house in the night and awoke me with the greatest caution fearing that some of his enemies might be watching to take him at a time when and in a place where it would be impossible for him to make his escape

at that time allan lay in a secret place in the gulfs a short distance above my flats in a hole that he accidentally found in the rock near the river

the pavlov grads held feast after feast celebrating awards they had received for the campaign and made expeditions to all moats to visit a certain caroline the hungarian who had recently opened a restaurant there with girls' waitresses

the guards had made their whole march as if on a pleasure trip parading their cleanliness and discipline

the regiments had entered and left the town with their bands playing and by the grand juke's orders the men had marched all the way in step a practice on which the guards prided themselves the officers on foot and at their proper posts

boris had been quartered and had marched all the way with berg who was already in command of a company

boris during the campaign had made the acquaintance of many persons who might prove useful to him and by a letter of recommendation he had brought from pierre had become acquainted with prince andrew bolkonski though whom he hoped to obtain a post on the commander ⁇ in ⁇ chief staff

berg and boris having rested after yesterday's march were sitting clean and needly dressed at a round table in the clean quarters allotted to them plain chess

he wanted to pinch him push him do anything but kiss him a thing everybody did

but notwithstanding this boris embraced him in a quiet friendly way and kissed him three times

they had not met for nearly half a year and being at the age when young men take their first steps on life's road each saw immense changes in the other quite a new reflection of the society in which they had taken those first steps

you know of course that his imperial highness rode with our regiment all the time so that we had every comfort in every advantage

he went to his bed drew a parson under the clean pillow and sent for wine

oh don't mention it count i quite understand said berg getting up and speaking in a muffled and guttural voice

burke put on the cleanest of coats without a spot or speck of dust stood before a looking glass and brushed the hair on his temples upwards in the way affected by the emperor alexander and having insured himself from the way rostov looked at it that his coat had been noticed left the room with a pleasant smile

oh dear what a beast i am muttered rustoff as he read the letter why

well have you sent gabriel for some wine all right let's have some

in the letter from his parents was enclosed a letter of recommendation to migration which the old countess and anna mikholovna's advice had obtained through an acquaintance and sent to her son asking him to take it to its destination and make use of it

it is some letter of recommendation what the devil do i want it for

he looked intently and inquiringly into his friend's eyes evidently trying in vain to find the answer to some question

would you believe it count i was not at all alarmed as i knew i was right

i came forward burke stood up and showed how he presented himself with his hand to his cap and really it would have been difficult for a face to express greater respect and self complacency than his did

well he stormed at me as the saying is stormed and stormed and stormed

it was not a matter of life but rather of death as the saying is

albanians and devils and two siberia said berg with a sagacious smile

that's the way count said burg lighting his pipe and emitting rings of smoke

roster was a truthful young man and would or no account have told a deliberate lie

he began his story meaning to tell everything just as it happened but imperceptibly involuntarily and inevitably he lapsed into falsehood

prince andrew who liked to help young men was flattered by being asked for his assistance and being well disposed towards boris who had managed to please him the day before he wished to do what the young man wanted

in spite of prince andrew's disagreeable ironical tone in spite of the contempt with which rostov from his fighting army point of view regarded all these little adjutants on the staff of whom the newcomer was evidently won rostov felt confused blushed and became silent

boris inquired what news there might be on the staff and what without indiscretion one might ask about our plans

we shall probably advance replied bolkovsky evidently reluctant to say more in the presence of a stranger

burke took the opportunity to ask with great politeness whether as was rumored the allowance of forage money to captains of companies would be doubled

i was there said rostov angrily as if intending to insult the aide de camp

with a slightly contemptuous smile he said yes there are many stories now told him at that affair

but our stories are the stories of men who have been under the enemy's fire

our stories have some weights not like the stories of those fellows on the staff who get rewards without doing anything

however he added rising you know my name and where to find me i don't forget that i do not regard either myself or you as having been at all insulted and as a man older than you my advice is to let the matter drop

he ordered his horse at once and coldly taking leave of boris rode home

should he go to headquarters next day and challenge that affected adjutant or really let the matter drop was the question that worried him all the way

not till midwinter was the count at last handed a letter addressed in his son's handwriting

on receiving it he ran on tiptoe to his study in alarm and haste trying to escape notice close the door and began to read the letter

each time at these hints began to make the countess anxious and she glanced uneasily at the count and at anna mikholovna the latter very adroitly turned the conversation to insignificant matters

but for god's sake be careful you know how it may affect your mamma

no on my true word of honour said natasha crossing herself i won't tell any one

it's true that all you women are cry babies remarked petya pacing the room with large resolute strides

she felt that sonya was speaking the truth that there was such love as sonya was speaking of

now that he was already an officer and a wounded hero would it be right to remind him of herself and as it might seem of the obligations to her he had taken on himself

it's because she was in love with that fat one in spectacles that was how pitcher described his namesake the new count bezukov and now she's in love with that singer he met natasha's italian singing master that's why she's ashamed

the countess had been prepared by anime colonel's hints at dinner

on retiring to her own room she sat in an arm chair her eyes fixed on a miniature portrait of her son on the lid of a snuff box while the tears kept coming into her eyes

at first he heard a sound of indifferent voices then anemicalness alone in a long speech then a cry then silence then both voices together with glad intonations and then footsteps

when she heard this sonya blushed so that tears came into her eyes and unable to bear the looks turned upon her ran away into the dancing hall whirled round it at full speed with her dress puffed out like a balloon and flushed and smiling plumped down on the floor

how charmingly he describes said she reading the descriptive part of the letter and what a soul

i have been told that mister van brandt is in prison for debt i said

he left me the little money he had with him when he was arrested she rejoined sadly

his cruel creditors are more to blame than he is for the poverty that has fallen on us

even this negative defense of van brandt stung me to the quick i ought to have spoken more guardedly of him i said bitterly

i ought to have remembered that a woman can forgive almost any wrong than a man can inflict on her when he is the man whom she loves

she put her hand on my mouth and stopped me before i could say any more

you know to my shame i confessed it to you the last time we met you know that my heart and secret is all yours

is it the wrong i suffered when van brant married me with a wife living at the time and living still

do you think i can never forget the great misfortune of my life the misfortune that has made me unworthy of you

it is no fault of mine god knows but it is not the less true that i am not married and that the little jarling who is playing out there with her doll is my child

and you talk of my being your wife knowing that the child accepts me as her second father i said

it would be better and happier for us both if you had as little pride as a child pride she repeated

am i to marry you because there is no lawful tie that binds me to the father of my child

my only friend is it possible that you think me ungrateful enough to consent to be your wife

the woman in my situation must be heartless indeed who could destroy your place in the estimation of the world in the regard of your friends

the wretchedest creature that walks the streets would shrink from treating you in that way

every word she uttered only increased my admiration of the noble creature whom i had loved and lost

bitterly as i hated the man who had parted us i loved her dearly enough to be even capable of helping him for her sake hopeless infatuation

i don't deny it i don't excuse it hopeless infatuation you have forgiven me i said

you must have plans for the future tell me unreservedly how i can help you

complete the good work that you have begun she answered gratefully help me back to health

make me strong enough to submit to a doctor's estimate of my chances of living for some years yet

a doctor's estimate of your chances of living i repeated what do you mean

i hardly know how to tell you she said without speaking again of mister van brandt

you know that there is nothing i will not do to relieve your anxiety

yes this is his position in two words a little while since he obtained an excellent offer of employment abroad from a rich relative of his and he had made all his arrangements to accept it

unhappily he returned to tell me of his good fortune and the same day he was arrested for debt

the snare that had been set for her was plainly revealed in those forewords

in the eye of the law she was of course a single woman she was of age she was to all intents and purposes her own mistress

what was there to prevent her from insuring her life if she pleased and from so disposing of the insurance as to give vanbrat a direct interest in her death

thanks to the happy accident of my position the one certain way of protecting her lay easily within my reach

i could offer to lend this scoundrel the money that he wanted in an hour's notice and he was a man to accept my proposal quite as easily as i could make it

i am only doubting whether your plan for relieving mister van brandt of his embarrassments is quite so simple as you suppose

are you aware of the delays that are likely to take place before it will be possible to borrow money on your policy of insurance

they are trustworthy unexperienced men and i am sure they can be of use to you

cautiously as i had expressed myself her delicacy took the alarm

promise that you won't ask me to borrow money of you for mister van brandt she rejoined and i will accept your help gratefully

my one chance of saving her lay in keeping from her knowledge the course that i had now determined to pursue

it's a sad thing for a body to lack brains when she wants to be a teacher isn't it

penelope has studied so hard all winter and she hasn't gone anywhere thought the older sister wistfully

doris dreamed of pretty dresses all that night and thought about them all the next day

so it must be confessed did penelope though she would not have admitted it for the world

tell me dory does it argue a lack of proper respect for my ancestors that i can't feel very enthusiastic over this hair loom especially when grandmother hunter died years before i was born

why the wrong side is ever so much prettier than the right exclaimed penelope

penelope was surprised as much as the tenderly heart could wish when doris flashed out upon her triumphantly and the evening on the party with the black skirt nicely press and rehung and the prettiest waist imaginable a waist that was a positive creation of dainty rose bass prinkled silk with a girdle and knots of black velvet

so penelope went to blanche's party and her dress was the admiration of every girl there

she looks as if she had just stepped out of the frame of some lovely old picture she said to herself

i am named after her missus fairwater suddenly put her arm about penelope and drew the young girl to her her lovely old face aglow with delight and tenderness

when i saw your dress i felt sure you were related to her i should recognize that rosebud silk if i came across it in tibet

penelope was four years older than i was but we were devoted to each other

my dear i am a very lonely old woman with nobody belonging to me

now she pattened missus fairwether's soft old hand affectionately

doris and panelopi found their leaves and plants changed in the twin cling of an eye

when missus fairwater had gone doris and penelope looked at each other

as she slipped into her blue print afternoon dress her aunt called to her from below

aunt jane was standing at the foot of the stairs with a lamp in one hand and a year old baby clanging to the other

she was a big shapeless woman with a round good natured face cheerful and vulgar as a sunflower was aunt jane at all times and occasions

i want to run over and see how missus bigsby is this evening sidi and you must take care of the baby till i get back

all her days were alike as far as hard work and dullness went but she accepted them cheerfully and uncomplainingly

but she did resent having to look after the baby when she wanted to write her letter

the room was more a mare box above the kitchen which sidney shared with two small cousins

her bed and the cot where the little girl slapped filled up almost all the available space

just at that particular angle one eye appeared to be as large as an orange while the other was the size of a p and the mouth zigzagged from ear to ear

sydney hated that mirror as virulently as she could hate anything

her mother had died the day after and sydney their appen had come into the hands of good aunt jane with those books for her dory since nothing else was left after the expenses of the double funeral had been paid

presently she began to write with a flash of real excitement on her face

only one answer came to ellen douglas and that was forwarded to her by the long suffering editor of the maple leaf

he wrote that although his aged burred him from membership in the club he was twenty and the limit was eighteen he read the letters of the department with much interest and often had thought of answering some of the requests for correspondents

he never had done so but ellen douglas's letter was so interesting that he had decided to write to her

he was two years out from the east and had not yet forgotten to be homesick at times

she never expected to meet john lincoln nor did she wish to do so

john lingon wrote breezy accounts of french life and adventures on the far western plains so alien and remote from snug hum drum playing field life that syne always had the sensation of crossing a gulf when she opened a letter from the bar and as for sydney's own letter this is the way it read as she wrote it

i love life and its bloom and brilliancy i love meeting new people i love the ripple of music the ham of laughter and conversation

the man i had been talking with was paul moore the great novelist

as it was i had contradicted him twice and he had laughed and liked it but his books will always have a new meaning to me henceforth through the inside he himself has given me

old jane came home presently and carried away her sleeping baby sidney sat her prayers went to bed and slept soundly and serenely she mailed her letter the next day and a month later an answer came

sydney did not sleep that night but dozed restlessly about or cried in her pillow

sydney trod the way of the transgressor and found that its storms burst to bone and marrow

i just couldn't write you about my life here not because it was hard but it was so ugly and empty

those letters made that other life seem real to me i never expected to meet you

these last four days since your latter came have been dreadful to me

please don't distress yourself so sidney he said unconsciously using her christian name

after all those letters were true or rather there was truth in them

but in the state of innocence there would have been old merciful age

on the contrary everything generated is first imperfect but in the city of innocence children would have been begotten by generation

therefore from the first they would have been imperfect in bodily size and power

therefore in the state of innocence there was no need for women to be born on the contrary nature's process in generation would have been in harmony with manner in which it was established by god

therefore in the state of innocence man had no mastership of the animals

therefore in the state of innocence before man had its bait nothing disbaded him that was naturally subject to him

secondly this is proved by the order of divine providence which houses governance inferior things by the superior

now whatever is participated is subject to what is essential and universal

therefore the subjection of other animals to man is proved to be natural

they would not however on this account have been accepted from the mastership of men as neither at present nor they for that reason accepted from the mastership of god whose providence has ordained all this

this is signified by the fact that god led the animals to men that he might give the names expressive of their respective natures

so all animals would have a big men of their own court as in the present state some domestic animals obey him

objection one it would seem that in the safeness men would not have had mastership over all other creatures

much less therefore would he have a big man in the state of innocence

therefore since it is by this reason that man is competent to have mastership it seems that in the state of innocence man had not been in over plans

now even reason has the position of a master and not of a subject

i answer that we must need admit that in the primitive state there would have been some inequality at least as regards sex because generation depends upon diversity of sex and likewise as regards age for some would have been born of others nor would sexual union have been sterile

inequality might also rise on the parts of nature as above described without any defects of nature

objection one it was seemed that in the state of innocence men would not have been master were men

therefore in the state of innocence man would not have been subject to men

in other sense mastership is referred in a general sense to any kind of subject and in this sense even he who has the office of governing and directing free men can be caught a master

such a kind of mastership would have existed in the state of innocence between men and men for two reasons

more than this he hath been heard to ray along you my lord who are now his judge

judge thy just doom would be to die on the spot stoop let us hear what thou hast to say

then the judge to some of the kings spoke this you'll see this man who has made such a stirring out town

thus why when he lost his life for the truth a new man rose from his death to travel the same way with christian

hopeful i had my fears from the first and so gave you a hint christian good friend i grieve that i hath brought you out of the right path

then sat trying despair you have no right to force your wake in here the ground on which you lie is mine

he now went on till he came to the house and the door of which he was to not visited two or three times

christian sir i am come from the city of destruction and am on my way to mount zion

i was stood by the man that stands at the gate that if i came here you would show me good things that would help me

he stood as if he would plea for men and a crown of gold har near his head

then he took him to a large room that was full of dust for it had not been swept and interpreter told his men to sweep it

the unaccord maid coming to lay the dust so his seam may clean and laid low by faith in the book

just as christian came up to the crowd his load slipped from his back close to the mouth of the tomb where it fell in and i saw it no more

as he stood thus and wept lo three broad ones came to him and one of them said peace be to thee thou hast graced from thy sins

christian gave three lips for joy and sent as he went ah what a place is this blest crow's blast tomb

he went on thus till he came to a vale where he saw three men who were in a sound sleep with chains on their feet

formalist and hypocrisy we were born in the land of vain glory and are on our way to mount diame for praise

know you not that he that comes not in at a door but climbs up to getting the same as a thief

they told christian that he had no need for care on that score for long youths had made a law and they could prove that it had been so for years

i saw then that they all went on till they came to the foot of the hill of difficulty where there was a spring

now when christian got as far as the spring of life he drank of it and then went uphill

now halfway up was a cave made by the lord of that hue that those who came by might rest there

timor said that zine was for healed they meant to climb but that when they had got halfway they found that they met with more and more risk so that great fear came on them and all they could do was to turn back

yes said miss trust for just in front of us bare lay two beasts of prey in our path we knew not if they slept or not but we thought that they would follow this and tear our links

yet he thought once more of what he had heard from the man and then he felt in his cloak for his grow that he might read it and find it some peace

so he fell down on his knees to pray that god would give him grace for this act and then went back to look for his grove

oh fool that i am said he to sleep in the day time so to gave way to the flesh as to use for yields that rest which lord of hugh had made but for the health of the soul

such was the lot of the jews for their scene they were sent back by the way of the rat sea and i am made to tread those steps with grief which i might have drunk with joy had it not been for the sleep

now by this time he had come to the vale once more where for a spell he sat down and wept but at last as he cast a set glance at the foot of the bench he saw his crow which he caught up with haste and put in his cloak

words are too weak to tell the joy of christian when he had got back his row

ha thought he these beasts ranging the night for their prey and if they should meet with me in the dark how should i fly from them

the name of the men who kept the lodge of that house was watchful and when he saw the christian made help as if he would go back he came out to him and said is by strength so small

fear not the two wild beasts for they are bound by chains and are put here to try the faith of those that have it and to find out those that hath none

then i saw in my dream that still he went on in gray dread of the wild beasts he heard them roar yet they did him no harm but when he had gone by them he went on with joy till he came and stood in front of the latch where watchful dwelled

when watchful told her why question had come there she said what is your name

then christian bent down his head and went with him to the house

come good christian since our love prompts us to take you into rest let us talk with you for that you have seen on your way

christian with a right good will and i am glad that you should ask it of me

prudence and first say what is it that makes you wish so much to go to monk dion

there they say is no death and there i shall dwell with such as love the lord

thus did christian talk with his friend still it groomed dark and then he took his rest in a large room the name of which was peace there he slapped till break of day and then he sent him

and they brought out a jawn bone of an ass with which simpson did such gray feasts and the sling and stone with which dabbet slew gallioth of gath

it was a night when sorrow may come to the brightest without causing any great sense of incongruity when with impressible persons love becomes solicitousness hope sinks to misgiving and faith to hope when the exercise of memory does not stir feelings of regret at opportunities for ambition that have been passed by andtication does not prompt to enterprise

still to a close observer they are just as perceptible the difference is that their medier of manifestation are less trite and familiar than such well known ones as the bursting of the buds or the fall of the leaf

if anything could be darker than the sky it was the wall and if anything could be gloomier than the wall it was the river beneath

an indescribable succession of dull blows perplexing in their regularity sent their sound with difficulty through the fluffy atmosphere

this was all that was positively discoverable though it seemed human

the shape went slowly along but without much exertion for the snow though sudden was not as yet more than two inches deep

between each utterance the little shape advanced about half a dozen yards

then a mortal of snow flew across the river towards the fifth window

the river would have been seen by day to be of that deep smooth sort which races midland sides with the same gliding precision any irregularities of speed being immediately corrected by a small whirlpool

then a noise was heard apparently produced by the opening of the window

he hoped nothing serious had happened to drag her out at such an untoward time

but as the rain gave not the least sign of cessation he observed i think we shall have to go back never

i cannot understand how you should know me while i have no knowledge of you

but we have been tenants of sylvania castle on the island here this season

my father she burst out suddenly is always scolding me for my extravagance

jocelyn thought it strange that he should be thrown by fate into a position to play the son of the montagues to this daughter of the cabinets

no i shall go on and get a lodging in bubbleth town if ever i reach it

it is so late that there will be no house open except a little place near the station where you won't care to stay

he studied her bodily by encircling her waist with his arm and she made no objection

he pitied her and while he wondered at it admired her determination

their application for admission led to the withdrawal of a bolt and they stood within the gaslight of the passage

he could see now that though she was such a fine figure quite as tall as himself she was but in the bloom of young womanhood

i will tell the servant to do this and send you up something to eat

he felt ravenously hungry himself and set about drying his clothes as well as he could and eating at the same time

by the aid of some temporary wraps and some slippers from the cupboard he was contrived to make himself comfortable when the maid servant came downstairs with a damp armful of woman's raiment

he again became conscious of the change which had been initiated during the walk

the well beloved was moving house had gone over to the wearer of this attire

the following was the answer which she returned to the note written to her by aunt julia

i should not know how to drink wine with them and should do a hundred things which would make them think me a beast

if they were put out their hands to him why should he refuse to put out his own

our taylor received him courteously having learned to like the man understanding that he had behaved with honesty and wisdom in regard to his client and respecting him as one of the workers of the day but he declared that for the lovele family as a family he did not care for them particularly

but by your good fortune and merit if you will allow me to say so you have travelled from the one pole very far towards the other

at present i think that the sense of the country is in favour of an aristocracy of birth

when you were foremost among them did you not wish to be their master

it is one to which all legislative and all human efforts should and must tend

when you make much water boil mister thrait some of it will probably boil over

i quite agree with you that the silk gowns should be kept for their elders and so the conversation was ended

with her there was a real wish that the poles might be joined together by her future husband

must i have a pink silk gown to walk about in early in the morning

he could not forget missus pineaven's eyes though he remembered nothing of her other facial details

afterwards they kept apart a while in the drawing room for form's sake but eventually gravitated together again and finished the evening in each other's company

it was unfair to go further without telling her even though hitherto such explicitness had not been absolutely demanded

she lived not far from the long fashionable hamptonshire square and he went thither with expectations of having a highly emotional time at least

but somehow the very bellpool seemed cold although she had so earnestly asked him to come

raising her eyes in a slightly inquiring manner from the book she was reading she leant back in her chair as if soaking herself in luxurious sensations which had nothing to do with him and replied to his greeting with a few commonplace words

just as they turn madeira into port in the space of a single night so this old air has been taken and doctored and twisted about and brought out as a new popular ditty indeed

she thawed a little and then they went on to talk about her house which had been newly painted and decorated with greenish blue satin up to the height of a person's head an arrangement that somewhat improved her slightly faded though still pretty face and was helped by the awnings over the windows

yes i have had my house some years she observed complacently and i like it better every year

as a punishment she did not ring the bell but left him to find his way out as he could

but jocelin was receding from the pretty widow's house with long strides

lady arris had left the drawing room for a moment to see that all was right in the dining room and when he was shown in there stood alone in the lamplight nichola pine aven

as the other guests dropped in the pair retreated into a shady corner and she talked beside him till all moved off for the eating and drinking

he had not been appointed to take her across to the dining room but at the table found her exactly opposite

the spring in the present case was the artistic commendation she deserved and craved

the lady on joceline's left wife of a lord justice of appeal was in like manner talking to her companion on the outer side so that for the time he was left to himself

it came from the wife of one of his father's former workmen and was concerning her son whom she begged jocelyn to recommend as candidates for some post in town that she wished him to fill

what is necessary to the completeness of the story at this stage is not to recapitulate but to take up some of the loose ends of the threats wovening and follow them through until the clear and comprehensive picture of the events can be seen

he can sometimes raise capital to help him in working out his crude conceptions but even then it is frequently done at a distressful cause of personal surrender

when the result is achieved the invention makes its appeal on the score of economy of material of effort and then labor often awaits with crushing and tyrannical spirit dismash the apparatus of forbid its very use

possibly our national optism as reviewing the mention the seeking the higher good knits on check

possibly the leaders would travel too fast and too far on the road of perfection if conservatism did not also play in insisting that the procession moved forward as a

on the contrary the conditions for its perceptions have been rightly fast

yet the very vulgar of the electric art light made harder at the arrival of the incandescent

a number of parent arclining companies were in existence and a great many local companies had been caught into franchise for commercial business and to execute regular city contracts for the street lining

thus in a curious manner the modern art of latter lining was in a very true sense divided against itself with intense reveries and jealousies which were none the less real because they were but temporary and occurring felt where ultimate union of the force was inevitable

hence twenty years after the first addison station were established the methods they involved could be fairly credited with no less than sixty seven per cent

it will be readily understood that under these conditions the modern lining company supplies to its customers both incandescent and arclining frequently from the same dynamo electric machinery as the source of current and that the old food as between the rival systems has died out

in fact for some years past the residents of the national electric light association had been chosen almost exclusively from among the managers of the great adison lighting compass in the leading cities

the other strong opposition to the incandescent light came from the gas industry

the gas manager did not like arclight but it interfered only with his treat service which was not his large source of income by any means

here again was given the most convincing demonstration of the truth that such an addition to the resources of mankind always carries with it unsuspected benefits even for its enemies

this was not long nor universally the spirit shown and to ⁇ day in hundreds of cities the electric and gas produce are united under the one management which does not find it impossible to push in the friendly and progressive way the use of both illuminants

the most conspicuous example of this identity of interest is given in new york itself

but it may be questioned whether in user is not equally to be dragged with active ill will

of course a gray many counts were written and read but while janier interest was aroused it was necessarily apathetic

we got it at the great barkan and only paid us more sum damn in the ballaston watergate

were sailed them for forty cents but they were only by twenty or thirty thousands of them

the fourth year i got it unto thirty seven cents and i made all the money apt in one year that i had lost previously

one of the incidents which caused a very great chieftain was that when we started one of the important processes had to be done by experts

incidentally it may be noted as illustrative of the problem brought to elizon that while he had the factory at harrison and importing the chinese trader went to him and wanted a dynamo to be run by hind power

for making the dynamos addison secured as noted in the preceding chaper the roach iron was on gower street new york and this was also equipped

to sigmund burgman who had worked previously with edison until the paradism phonograph and was already making addison special edis in a small way in a loft on wooster street new york was designed as of constructing sockets fixtures meters sifty fuses and numerous other details

in the early part of eighteen eighty one the edison electric light company leased the old b show mansion at sixty five fifth avenue close to fording street for its headquarters and showrooms

this was one of the finest homes in the city of that period and its acquisition was a premonitory sign of the surrender of the famous residential avenue to commerce

one day it was not going very well and it went done to the man in charge and got exploring around

for the next four or five years sixty five was a variable b hive day and night

the routine was very much the same as that at the laboratory in its arteranakolite of the clerk

i was telling a gentleman one day that i could not keep a secret even if i locked them out in my desk they would break it open

he suggested to me that he had a friend over on eighth avenue who made a superior grade of cigars and who would show them a trick

he said that he would have some of them made up with hair and oh paper and i could put them in without a word and see the result

speaking of those days of nights andison says years ago one of the great violinist was ramani

who would talk with me but i never asked him to bring his violin

after that every time he came to new york he used to call at sixty five late a night with his

another visitor who used to give us a good deal amusement and pleasure was captain shah the head of london fibregate

speaking of telling stories i once got telling a man's stories at the harrison lan factory in a yard as he was leaving

he had merely enjoyed the delights of anxious anticipation and a perilous pleasure of fackning ellison's experiments

they say best men are moated out of thoughts and for the most become much more the better for being a little bad

standing on the broken column of the old steeper three hundred feet above plain rose hill willem struck an attitude of theatrical fashion and utter the falling arritorical flight

sad how sad to think that the day will come when not a vestage of this wonderful mass of human energy shall remain with the cry of the wharf bad and bitten should only be heard a nature again resume her rustic splendid desolation

the devast heaven was a resort for actors authors bohemians lors and ladies who did not retire to their downing couches

willem and myself soon found rest in deep slumbering and wafted away into a dreamless rim our tide bodies lay in the infoding arms and morphers until the potter knocked at our door next morning as the clock of the tower struck the hour of nine

our first sight of the sunrise in london gave us great expectations of fame and fortune for surely all we had was glowing expectations

oft expectation fowls and most of there were most a promises and oft a hits where hope is coldest and despair most fits

willem to the great amazement of the diller flung a guinea in the shunopot which was immediately tapped by jack while the others looked on in silent expectation

i have sent my life upon the cast i will stand the hazard of the die

i immediately followed in his footsteps and found him joking with the landlady about a couple of infant boot paps she was fondling her capacious lap

if he had jobs willem could not have been more pleased or surprised and the feeling was reciprocal

the preening shop affair was owing a short distance from the devil's taven and we were invited to visit the establishment

james werbage gazed for a moment on the manly form of william and blurted out in his bluff manner what do you know

the next day everybody in the house began to make preparations for the journey

everything was done very leisurely though there was a lot of talking and disputing and the giving of contrary orders

the old porter was there directing as scolding the servants as they piled the rugs and blankets and bags of food and pots and pans and dishes into the wagon

there was quite a procession when at last the big wagon rumbled out through the gateway

behind it came the grandmother in her dewy deck a sort of a litter or easy chair sung between two long poles

besides the family there were many servants and several others walked beside the slow moving wagon

good bye shouted little now from his garden whilst they went by good bye

they shouted greetings to their friend the potter as they passed him and also to the old facker smeared all over with ashes who sat in a little brick hut by the bridge and pretended to make wonderful cures

this is more fun than going to school cicola as the oxen plodded along through clouds of dust

these lovely birds are found nearly everywhere in india and in some parts run quite wild

his long matted hair hung on his shoulders and he was saying his prayers with the help of a rosary of beads which he continually passed through his hands

as the wagon came up a young man who accompanied the holy man ran up and held out a bagging ball saying give o charitable people to this holy one

many of them are called holy men because they do nothing but make pilgrimages from one sacred place to another living solely on the alms that are given to them

when they had eaten their lunch the young people went to explore the garden near them

perhaps they're dogs said mahala a little fearfully but they forgot about dogs when they saw a thicket of sugar came down by his stream

perhaps we can buy some from the man there he is now plowing by the stream said cola

it is looking for water said the farmer as he took a long stuck of cane and gently guided it down to the stream

the snake is another sacred animal of the hindoos and they will not kill or injure when for anything

as they were about to move on again they saw great cloud of dust down the road

i turned out that it was a great and powerful rajah going in state on a journey to visit another rajah or ruler of one of the small kingdoms or states of which modern india was formerly made up

first there came a big elephant all decorated with silk and gold and silver

on the elephant's back it was the hawda which was like a big chair of the canopy over it and in this sitting crosslight was the ruja a big fat fellow dressed in colored silks and jewels with a great diamond set plume in his turban

behind the hoodas did a servant holding a big umbrella of fine feathers over the rajah's head

the driver sat on the neck of the elephant and guided the big beast by prowding him on one side or the other with an iron shared stick or gold

in all the rest of the day the little folk talked of nothing but the great rajah's escort

our party came to a halt among many other bullock carts the owners of which were already sitting around on the ground cooking their suppers or bargaining for food at a little booth

these they used for plates heaping them up with their boiled rice and curry and fish and all sorts of puddings and sweets

a supper was being eaten another party stopped at the paral and camped not far away

when the litter was put down a young boy stepped out looking very proud and haughty

his servants at once spread a handsome rug on the ground for him to sit on and rushed about waiting on him taking good care to keep every one at a distance

around the little brahman's neck was a thin corridor thread which was the sign of his high cast

meanwhile the haughty little brahman ate his supper when this head turned away so no one could see him eat and then growing tired of respectful glances of the crowd around him he got into his litter again and the servants fastened the curtains tightly around him

everybody slept soundly in spite of the fact that one of the servants was beating a drum most of the night which they really believed was the way to keep off evil spirits

the lattices were rise to sasia and her mother and aunt could enjoy the fresh air

they're my dolls said the little girl sadly as she patted the bundle beside her

the days glided by with the stiffness in christie's limbs growing less painful and the pony recovering fast for the clear mountaineer seemed to act like a cure for wounds

every day that came showed the injured animal in better condition

its efforts to move no longer made chris wins and forget his own pains in those he felt at seeing the mustans suffer

everyone was busy for the keeping watch regularly took up a good deal of time

it's all nonsense ned cried chris for them to think that they're staying on account of us hullo griggs were you listening

just harted a little on the bare leg but is better than it was yesterday

we shall get strong more quickly journing over the plains or climbing in and out among the mountains

well they showed themselves to me i didn't want them said griggs dryly

we couldn't see em but if we made a start they had been close upon our heels directly

look here if you say that again we shall quarrel hear that griggs

if you can't show us a better way you had better hold your tongue

being shot at by fellows with bows and arrows sounds bad enough but there's not much risk here

i should be running fast and dodging in and out among the rocks and trees

i don't believe there's a bit of risk for me i shall be all right

i'm afraid father will say that the ponies ought to be close at hand

yes that's right if it can be done but it will go hard with us all if the indians gave up the bait of the trap and turned upon those who said it

there are always too many red skins about cried christ impatiently

i wish we could charge them boldly and send them flying over the plains

not quite my lads don't you see that we're playing a very chicklish game

just then the doctor came into the shelter where the boys had been talking bringing with them walton who had been shooting or rather trying to shoot for he had had no success and they two were talking earnestly about ways and means

the indians have shifted their quarters and they are in the bout as awkward a position as they could contrive for a purpose

they seem to me to be hatching up some dodg or another replied griggs

then he began to walk up and down slowly evidently deep in thought

it is very evident that we may wait here till our stores are exhausted and be as far off the opportunity we seek as ever

provisions can be packed in our wallets in fact everything heldy for a start

finally just at dusk the animals can be driven in for food and water and

but before any more are set gigs i want to offer you the opportunity to draw back

i mean to do a bit to carry out young chris's plan and shut up the rescue for a week or two perhaps a month while we get right away

ejaculated criggs so sharply that the boy started serve them right if they did sir

what business have they to want our sculpts but we should have shed them up to starve

they'd have weeks of work before they could get their horses out but without horses they'd be out and awake

but there i don't want to make speeches it's all settled gentlemen

now every one understands that he is to be ready without showing any washful indian scout that there is something on the way

yet so strong was the effect upon him of contemplating a large fortune that in despite of reason and desire he lived in eager expectation of the word which should make him rich

a part of that impression was due to the engagement which he must now fulfill

to shuffle out of this duty would make him too ignoble even in his own eyes

because in his salid days he dallied with a girl who had indeed many charms step by step he had come to the necessity of sacrificing his prospects to that raw attachment

unable to think of work he left the house and wandered gloomily about regent's park

he felt himself ill used by destiny and therefore by marion who was fate's instrument

but i will see welpal i hadn't come across biffin for a long time

oh if i had imagined him still in such distress surely i might have done something to help him

perchance his death was impart attributable to that hopeless love

he sent me a copy of his novel she said and i saw him once or twice after that

having this subject it converse upon put the two more quickly at ease than could otherwise have been the case

even if mister yule recovers his side it is not at all likely that he will be able to work as before

i have a good deal of will you remember and what i have set my mind upon no doubt i shall some day achieve

the last three years he continued have made no slight difference in my position

sometimes i believe i have detected you when there was no signature

and i could so easily put her at rest by renouncing all claim upon her

i surmise that that you yourself would also be put at rest by such a decision

i couldn't go about declaring that i was heartbroken in any event i must be content for people to judge me according to their disposition and judgments are pretty sure to be unfavourable what can i do

yet for such feelings he reproached himself and the reproach made him angry

marion could not mistake the air of restless trouble on her companion's smooth countenance

she had divined that there was some grave reason for this summons and the panting with which she approached was half caused by the anxious beats of her heart

dear i can't feel it would be my duty to renounce you because my father had become blind

will he consent to receive an allowance from a person whose name is missus milbaine

as i have said there is a very serious doubt whether your father would accept money from you when you are my wife

it isn't your fault marion and well then there's only one thing to do

except jasper that if father is helpless i must find means of assuring his support

that is just what i have decided is impossible marion you shall have the plain truth

what do i care for a drop of rain she exclaimed with passionate sadness when all my life is at stake how am i to understand you

there is no natural law that a child should surrender everything for her parents

you know so much more of the world than i do can't you advise me

he had made a pretence of holding his umbrella over her but marian turned away and walked to a little distance and stood beneath the shelter of a great tree her face averted from him

moving to follow he saw that her frame was shaken by soundless sobbing

but i couldn't say a word that would seem to invite such misery as this

but if you had said you loved me before that i should have it always to remember

remember me as a man who disregarded priceless loves such as yours to go and make himself a proud position among fools and knaves indeed that's what it's come to

soon enough you would thoroughly despise me and though i should know it was merited my perverse pride would revolt against it

it is a thing that happens every day either in a man or woman and all that honour demands is the courage to confess the truth

marian will you do this will you let our engagement last for another six months but without our meeting during that time

the rain fell unceasingly and with it began to mingle an autumnal mist

they looked at each other for an instant then marian left the shelter of the tree opened her umbrella and walked quickly away

jasper did not watch her he had the face of a man who was suffering a severe humiliation

his sister said very little for she recognized genuine suffering in his tones and aspect

a few weeks ago he actually proposed to a woman for whom he does not pretend to have the slightest affection but who is very rich and who seemed likely to be foolish enough to marry him

you will understand though surely you need no fresh proof how utterly unworthy he is of you

you are the only friend i have of my own sex and i could not bear to lose you

i must only ask that you will write to me without the least reference to these troubles tell me always about yourself and be sure that you cannot tell me too much

we have succeeded in amassing two hundred ounces of silver enough i trust to erect a handsome bronze figure

to be sure it seems a shame yet if i could steal the money this priest is boasting about i could live at ease for the rest of my days and so he began casting about how best he might compass his purpose

but the priest far from guessing the drift of his comrade's thoughts journeyed cheerfully on till they reached the town of kuana

here there is an arm of the sea which is crossed in ferry boats that start as soon as some twenty or thirty passengers are gathered together and in one of these boats the two travelers embarked

when the boatmen and passengers heard the splash and saw the priest struggling in the water they were afraid and made every effort to save him but the wind was fair and the boat running swiftly under the bellying sails so they were soon a few hundred yards off from the drowning man who sank before the boat could be turned to rescue him

when he saw this the ruin feigned the utmost grief in dismay and said to his fellow passengers this priest whom we have just lost was my cousin he was going to kioto to visit the shrine of his patron and as i happened to have business there as well we settled to travel together

now alas by this misfortune my cousin is dead and i am left alone

he spoke so feelingly and wept so freely that the passengers believed a story and pitied and tried to comfort him

what think you gentlemen added he turning to the other travellers

they of course were only too glad to avoid any hindrance to their onward journey and all with one voice agreed to what the ronant had proposed and so the matter was settled

when at length they reached the shore they left the boat and every man went his way but the ronant overjoyed in his heart took the wandering priest's luggage and putting it with his own pursued his journey to kyoto

fortune favouring his speculations he began to amass great wealth and lived at his ease denying himself nothing and in the course of time he married a wife who bore him a child

since then all has gone well with me yet had i not been poor i had never turned assassin nor thief

he would have fled into the house but the ghost stretched forth his withered arm and clutching the back of his neck scowled at him with a vindictive glare and a hideous ghastliness of mien so unspeakably awful that any ordinary man would have swooned with fear

at length undone by such ceaseless vexation toke fell ill and kept muttering oh misery misery the wandering priest is coming to torture me

now it chanced that the story reached the ears of a certain wandering priest who lodged in the next street

and hiding his head under the coverlet he lay quivering all over

three years ago at the kuan affair you flung me into the water and well you remember it

happily continued the priest i had learned to swim and to dive as a boy so i reached the shore and after wandering through many provinces succeeded in setting up a bron figure to buddha thus fulfilling the wish of my heart

on my journey homewards i took a lodging in the next street and there heard of your marvellous ailment

thinking i could divine its cause i came to see you and am glad to find i was not mistaken

be of good cheer now and look me in the face and you will see that i am really a living man and no vengeful goblin come to torment ye

fortune befriended me ever after but the richer i grew the more keenly i felt how wicked i had been and the more i foresaw that my victim's vengeance would some day overtake me

haunted by this thought i lost my nerve till one night i beheld your spirit and from that time forth fell ill

but how you managed to escape and are still alive is more than i can understand

a guilty man said the priest with a smile shudders at the rustling of the wind or the chattering of a stork's beak a murderer's conscience prays upon his mind till he sees what is not

every well ordered japanese home of the old fashioned kind has its little shrine which is the centre of the religious life of the house

she it is who sets the rice and wine before the ancestral tablets who lights the little lamp each night and who sees that at each feast day an anniversary season the proper food is prepared and set out for the household gods

these must be kept carefully by the mother as a safe guard against the many evils that beset child life

visits to noted temples by relatives and friends often result in additions to the child's collection

all these were put together by the careful mother and preserved as jealously as queen althea kept the charred stick that governed the destiny of her son

as the children arrive at years of discretion these treasures pass out of the mother's faithful keeping into the hands of their actual owners and they are usually kept stored away in some little used drawer or cabinet until death removes the necessity for any further safeguards over life

each animal brings its own kind of good or bad luck into the hour day or year over which it presides and only a skillful balancer of pros and cons can read or write the combinations and understand what the luck of any particular hour in any particular day of any particular year will be

for the greater events of family life the home prophecies are felt to be too uncertain and the services of the fortunate teller must be called him

no well managed family would think of building a new house without finding in what direction to face the front door

after this manner has been settled and the house is fairly begun there are occasional crises in its construction upon which much depends

the house owner then decides whether the day set by the builder is a lucky one for himself and his family

a present of money to each workmen is also in order and will conduce to the rapid and faithful execution of the job at hand when at last the house is finished and carpenters and plasterers are ready to leave it the local firemen who have assisted all along in the building as unskilled laborers often ascend to the roof and from the bridge pull cast down cakes for which the children in the neighborhood scrambled joyfully

all come who can and those who cannot come send servants or provisions

on the day after the death often in the evening the body must be placed in a casque shaped coffin that until recently was a style commonly in using japan

now among the wealthier classes the long coffin has superseded the small square or round one but the smaller expense connected with a burial in the old way makes a survival of an old type a necessity for the majority of japanese

at an appointed time all the relatives assemble in the death chamber and preparations are made for the bathing of the corpse

there is no official ceremonial mourning of parents for their children nor does custom require them to perform any of the last rites or attend the funeral

upon the younger brothers and sisters falls the duty of attending to all of the last sad ministrations

when the body has been washed it is dressed in white and silk habotai whenever the family can afford it

the body to be placed in the coffin must be folded into a sitting posture and the chin resting upon the knees the position of the mummies found in many aboriginal american tombs

this difficult to us apparently impossible feat safely accomplished there are placed in the coffin a number of small things that the dead takes with him to the next world

the single exception to this rule about metal is that small copper coins may be put in to feed the old hag who guards the bank of the river of death

last of all the vacant spaces in the coffin are filled in with bags of tea

so long as the coffin is in the house it must be watched over continually

it is their duty to see that the incense burning before the coffin is never allowed to go out while the food for the dead is renewed at regular intervals by the mourners themselves

there are few enlightened japanese who will defend the present system of cruelty to the afflicted or who do not long for some change but so great is the force of conservatism in this regard so haunting the fear that any change may indicate a lack of respect for the dead that reform advances slowly

individual instances occur in which some of the worst features of these customs are modified

a case in point is that of the late mister fukus awa a man whose life was devoted to the advancement of his countrymen in modern ways and who in his death continued his teaching

in his will he provided that his body was to be buried without washing in the clothing in which he died

through this growing feeling and the unselfishness of maternal affection may come in time the release from these mournful ceremonies

just before the procession starts a religious ceremony is held at the house which is attended by the friends of the deceased and which is substantially the same as that performed at the cemetery

on the day of the burial great bunches of natural flowers are sent to the dead each bunch so large as to require the services of one man to carry it

sometimes with the gift a man is sent to take part in the procession but if the giver feels too poor to hire a man this burden too falls upon the bereaved household for etiquette requires that all flowers sent be borne to the grave by uniformed coolies who march in the funeral train

another favourite president at this time among buddhists is a cage of living birds to be borne to the grave and released thereon

during this period the spirit of the deceased is supposed to be still inhabiting the house and a tablet or shrine is set up in the death chamber before which food and flowers are renewed daily

of course it would be romantic conceded jane andrews but i know that i couldn't keep stone

your complexion is just as fair as rubies said diana earnestly and your hair is ever so much darker than it used to be before you cut it

it was splendid to fish for trot over the bridge and the two girls learned to row themselves about in the little flat bottom doory mister barry kept for duckshooting

they had often gone down like this and nothing could be more convenient for playing a lane

the black shell having been procured anne sped it over the flat and then lay down on the bottom with closed eyes and hands folded over her breast

it spoils the effect because this is hundreds of years before missus lynde was born

anne gave one gasping little scream which nobody ever heard she was white to the lips but she did not lose her self possession

under such circumstances you don't think much about making a floury prayer

the flat drifted under the bridge and then promptly sank in midstream

ruby james and diana already awaiting it on the lower headland saw it disappear before their very eyes and had no doubt but that anne had gone down with it

the minutes passed by is seeming like an hour to the unfortunate lily mane

her imagination began to suggest all men of grew some possibilities to her

it was certainly extremely difficult to be dignified under the circumstances

we were playing elaine explained anne frigidly without even looking at her rescue and i had to drift down to camlot in the barge i mean the flat

her resentment which to other and older people might be as laughable as its cause was a no wit allayed and softened by time seemingly

no she said coldly i shall never be friends with you gilbert blythe and i don't want to be

i'll never ask you to be friends again anne shirley and i don't care either

and presentiment prove more trustworthy than precentiments are apt to do

ever since i came to green gables i've been making mistakes and each mistake has helped to cure me of some great shortcoming

the spring was abroad in the land and marilla's sober middle aged step was lighter and swifter because of its deep primal gladness

i must say with all her faults i never found her disappediant or untrustworthy before and i'm real sorry to find her so now

of course i knew you'd take her part matthew but i'm bringing her up not you

anne cowered deeper into her pillows as if desirous of hiding herself for ever from mortal eyes no

you haven't gotten into any scrape for over two months and i was sure another one was due

and missus allen says we should never suspect any one of not telling us the truth unless we have proof that they're not

in a trice i saw myself with beautiful raven black hair and the temptation was irresistible

oh marilla what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive

your hair must be cut off there is no other way you can't go out with it looking like that

but there is nothing comforting in having your hair cut off because you've died a dreadful color is there

i'm going to weep all the time you're cutting it off if it won't interfere

anne wept then but later on when she went upstairs and looked in the glass she was calm with despair

i never thought i was vain about my hair of all things but now i know i was in spite of its being red because it was so long and thick and curly

anne's clip ted made a sensation in school on the following monday but to her relief nobody guessed the real reason for it not even josie pye who however did not fail to inform anne that she looked like a perfect scarecrow

it's hard to be told you look like a scarec scarecrow and i wanted to say something back that i did it

it makes you feel very virtuous when you forgive people doesn't it

i mean to devote all my energies to being good after this and i shall never try to be beautiful again

i do really want to be good marilla like you and missus allen and miss stacy and grow up to be a credit to you

diana says when my hair begins to grow to tie a black velvet ribbon around my head with a bow at one side

junior avonlea found it hard to settle down to hum drum existence again

perhaps after a while i'll get used to it but i'm afraid concerts spoil people for everyday life

eventually however avonlea's school slipped back into its old groove and took up its old interests

none of the sloanes would have any dealings with the bells because the bells had declared that the sloanes had too much to do in the program and the sloanes had retorted that the bells were not capable of doing the little they had to do properly

on anne's birthday they were tripping lightly down it keeping eyes and ears alert amid all the chatham for miss stacy had told them that they must soon write a composition on a winter's walk in the woods and it behoved them to be observant

it's a great comfort to think that i'll be able to use big words then without being laughed at

she's actually delighted when any one writes her name up in a take notice for all she pretends to be so mad

i'm trying to be as much like missus allan as i possibly can for i think she's perfect

if i had alice bell's crooked nose said anne decidedly i wouldn't but there

i'm afraid i think too much about my nose ever since i heard that compliment about it long ago

they're so white and still as if they were asleep in dreaming pretty dreams

cordelia was a regal brunette with a cornet of midnight hair and duskly flashing eyes

i asked reeby gillis if she knew anything about how men proposed because i thought she likely been authority on the subject having so many sisters married

let's you and me have a story club all our own and write stories for practice

you ought to cultivate your imagination you know miss stacy says so

no boys were allowed in it although ruby gillis opined that their admission would make it more exciting and each member had to produce one story a week

each girl has to read her story out loud and then we talk it over

i read one of my stories to him and missus allan and they both agree that the moral was excellent

jane and ruby almost always cry when i come to the pathetic parts

miss josephine barry wrote back that she had never read anything so amusing in her life

i'm sure missus allan was never such a silly forgetful little girl as you are

missus lynde has she always felt shocked when she hears of any one ever having been naughty no matter how small they were

snackers the general lucrative man of the hall had just brought the boys up from cedarville to which place they had journeyed from itaka on the regular afternoon board running up kayuga lake

with the rovers had come fred garrison larry colby and several others of their old school trumps

well thomas i hope you have left all your pranks behind observed george stonk

he moaned as tom ran off throwing away several tiny tacks as he did so

oh dear you always did put me down as the first boy in the school men i i do my very best and almost sobbing tom put his face up against the coat's sleeve

missus green was very tender hearted in spite of her somewhat freed hung and she was all sympathy immediately

there at home i don't mean to hurt your feelings he said soothingly

missus green when you die they ought to add an awfully big monument over your grave

i don't see any picture growled snuggers looking at the square blankly

one night when both were sleeping the prince had a remarkable dream

they rushed into the room added their cries to hers and forgetting all their former precautions left the doors open so that the guards outside hearing their clamour entered and saw the prince

she is a disgrace to her family and shall soon see her husband impaled on a stake

then with his forehead disfigured by a fearful frown he continued to abuse the prince and having tied his hands behind him tracked him from the room

treated thus like some wild beast roughly shaken and neglected rajabana would have suffered greatly had he not been protected by the magic twelve given to him in patala and which he had contrived to conceal in his hair

advancing therefore with a large army he prepared to besiege champa the capital city

a terrible battle ensued in which both kings were formed prodigies of valour

if the old king my father now in his shortage was foolish enough to favour the criminal for the sake of his worthless daughter you had no need of his permission and ought not to have been influenced by him

let that while seducer be immediately put to that by torture and his paramount be shell up in prison till i come

have ready also a fierce elephant suitably equipped which i shall mount immediately after the wedding to overtake my army in march against the enemy and as i set out i will make the elephant trample the life out of that criminal

while he stood there calmly awaiting death which now seemed inevitable he suddenly felt his feet free and a beautiful lady appeared before him

she humbly bound down said let my lord pardon his servant for the injury which she has unconsciously caused

one day as i was flying through the air wearing a white dress a swan mistaken me for a lotus flour to attack me

in his anger he cursed me saying o wicked one for this offence you are condemned to be changed into a piece of unconscious metal

the change took place immediately and i fell to the ground turned into a civil chain

on his way he saw the silver fetter descended to the ground picked it up and continued his fight

the slayer of gentro arma hearing this came out of the palace and quickly mounting the elephant who held down his trunk to receive him placed himself behind the prince

grateful said mutual astonishment and joy when they recognise each other the friends exclaiming is it possible

is it really you my dear friend apahara who have done this steed

through these they forced their way employing with good effects the weapons placed on the elephant for the use of gendroma

before however they had gone far they heard the noise of battle at a distance and saw the soldiers in front of them scattered in all directions

we have just now encountered and utterly defeated the enemy so that there is no fear of any further assistance

in cases of scorpion sting domara medicine men rub up patent pluses with human milk or juice of the milk heads plant you four pia through cali and apply them to the parts

his camp point told him of a case in which death was said to have resulted from eating one of these animals cooked with subject fruit

a few years ago a scare arose in connection with an insect which was said to have taken up its award in imported german glass pangles which complete with the indigenous industry of the gazua bangle makers the insect was deported to lie low on the pangel till it was purchased when it would come out and nip the wearer after warning her to get her affairs in order before succumbing

his body was long and slender hard and agile his sight keen his aim and erring

in the month of agrahyen canthia had gone out shooting near the swamp of nidihi with a few sporting companions

one morning as canthy was seated in his port cleaning a favourite gun he suddenly started at what he thought was the cry of a wild looking up he saw a village maiden coming to the water's edge with two white tucklings clasped to her breast

the girl put the birds into the water and watched them anxiously

looking round canty saw one of his men pointing an unloaded gun at the rocks

after canty had eaten and trunk the brahman begged him to introduce himself canty gave his own name his father's name and yet the service of his home and then said in the usual way if i can be of any service i shall keep myself fortunate

the brick built mansion of the musumars had been borrowed for the wedding ceremony which was fixed for the next mark as canty did not wish to lie

in due time the pride groom arrived on his elephant with drums and music and with a torchlight procession in the ceremony began

in that passion downcast face grown with the wedding corona and bedecked with sandal paste he could scarcely recognize the village maiden of his fancy and in the fullness of his emotion a mist seemed to be cloud his eyes

delight of the lamps seemed to grow dim into darkness to tarnish the face of the pride herself

at first he felt angry with his father in law the old scoundrel had shown him one girl and married him to another

oh the mad girl cried the woman as they made signs to her to leave the room

with a sigh of intense relief as of escape from calamity he looked once more into the face of his pride

the fun had taken this morning meal and now lay curled up on a bed of moss

whenever the fawn caught up he was quite content to frisk a belt

the hounds had struck a trail where she turned and the farm was safe

one was rowing the other had a gun in his hand what should she do

in a moment more the boat was on her and the man at the oars had leaned over and caught her

i was tormented by thirst but had abstained from drinking for many days according to the doctor's orders

that old man ceased to give so much annoyance yet sometimes he appeared to me in dreams

this maid had stolen from me certain little things of some importance and in her fear of being detected she would have been very glad if i had died

accordingly she allowed me twice to take as much as i could of the water so that in good earnest i swallowed more than a flask full i then covered myself and began to sweat and fell into a deep sleep

they say that my poor friend was on the point of falling to the ground so grave was he to hear this

afterwards he took an ugly state and began to beat the serving girl with all his might shouting out ah traitress you have killed him for me then

she may indeed have saved my life so led me a helping hand for i have sweat it and be quick about it

felicia recovered his spirits dried and made me comfortable and i being conscious of a great improvement in my state began to reckon on recovery

just then the other doctor bernardino put in his appearance who at the beginning of my illness had refused to bleed me

maestro francesco that most able man exclaimed oh power of nature

that simpleton myster bernardino made answer if he had drunk another bottle he would have been cured upon the spot

afterwards he turned to me and asked if i could have drunk more water

in like manner she was asking for what she wanted when the poor young man begged you to bleed him

if you knew that his recovery depended upon his drinking two flasks of water why did you not say so before

at these words the wretched quack sulkily departed and never showed his face again

the very evening i was taken with great precautions in a chair well wrapped up and protected from the cold

do not permit him any irregularities for though he has escaped this time another disorder now would be the death of him

then he turned to me and said my ben venoto be prudent commit no excesses and when you are quite recovered i beg you to make me a madonna with your own hand and i will always pay my devotions to it for your sake

that day many friends came to see me among others pierre landi who was the best and dearest friend i ever had

next day there came a certain nikolae aguto who was also a very great friend of mine

i had harboured him in rome and provided for his costs while he had turned my whole house upside down for the man was subject to a species of dry scab which he was always in the habit of scratching with his hands

meanwhile that able physician francesco da montevarki attended to my cure with great skill

many of my friends at court came up to greet me and expressed surprise that i had undergone the inconvenience of being carried in that way while so shattered by illness they said that i ought to have waited till i was well and then to have visited the duke

at these words maestro agostino the duke's tailor made his way through all those gentlemen and sad if that's all you want to know you shall know it at this very moment

georgia the painter whom i have mentioned happened just then to pass amy through augustino exclaimed there is the man who accused you now you know yourself if it be true or not

as fiercely as i could not being able to leave my seat i asked georgio if it was true that he had accused me

he denied that it was so and that he had ever said anything of the sword

georgio made off as quickly as he could repeating that he had not accused me

then after a short while the duke came by whereupon i had myself raised up before his excellency and he halted

the duke gazed at me and marvelled i was still alive afterwards he bade me take heed to be an honest man and regain my health

when i reached home nicolo da monte aguto came to visit me and told me that i had escaped one of the most dreadful perils in the world quite contrary to all his expectations for he had seen my ruin written with indelible ink now i must make haste to get well and afterwards take french leave because my jeopardy came from a quarter and a man who was able to destroy me

i answered that i had done nothing to displease him but that he had injured me and told him all the affair about the mint

he repeated get hands as quickly as you can and be of good courage for you will see your vengeance executed sooner than you expect

i the best attention to my health gave pietro paglo advice about stamping the coins and then went off upon my way to rome without saying a word to the duke or anybody else

you have never made anything so exquisite which proves you our inveterate foe and their devoted friend and yet the pope and he have had it twice in mind to hang you without any fault of yours

it was firmly believed that duke alessandro was the son of pope clement

messr francesco used also to say and swear by all his saints that if he could he would have robbed me of the dyes for that meadow

i responded that he had done well to tell me so and that i would take such care of them that he should never see them more

i now sent to florence to request laurence that he would send me the reverse of the medal

nicolo da monteaguto to whom i had written wrote back saying that he had spoken to that mad melancholy philosopher lorenzino for it he had replied that he was thinking night and day of nothing else and that he would finish it as soon as he was able

nevertheless i was not to set my hopes upon his reverse but i had better invent one out of my own hand and when i had finished it i might bring it without hesitation to the duke for this would be to my advantage

i composed the design of a reverse which seemed to me appropriate and pressed the work forward to my best ability

this being so as he was a fellow of much humour we used often to laugh together about the great credit he had gained

i therefore dismounted at once got my fowling piece ready and at a very long range brought two of them down with a single ball

i never used to shoot with more than one ball and was usually able to hit my mark at two hundred cubits which cannot be done by other ways of loading

i lifted my foot and let the water run out then when i had mounted we made haste for rome

there was no answer and after one or two ineffectual attempts frowsy turned fearfully away

two red spots burned on her cheeks and her pale blue eyes snapped

assuredly said old mister king with great satisfaction in polly's pleasure and at her success in drawing charlotte out

and after this there were no more quiet days for charlotte chatterton

yes grandpapa said phronsie coming in and shutting the door carefully i came on purpose to see you all alone

so you did dear said mister king highly gratified in pushing away his writing table he held out his hand

oh no grandpapa cried phronsie in a rapture i could never be too big for that so she perched up as of old on his knee then she folded her hands and looked gravely in his face

asked the old gentleman presently you've come to tell me something i suppose

yes grandpapa i have said phronsie decidedly and it is most important too grandpapa and oh i do wish it so much and she clasped her hands tighter inside

well then francey if you want it i suppose it must be said mister king quite as a matter of course

oh she left you everything she had phronsie a couple of millions or so it is why

why no not exactly her father isn't rich but charlotte i think may do very well especially as i intend to keep her here for a while and then i shall never let her suffer phronsie never indeed

grandpapa said phronsie wasn't missus chatterton aunt to charlotte

if missus chatterton was aunt to charlotte persisted phronsie slowly it seems as if charlotte ought to have some of the money it really does grandpapa

maybe said the old gentleman with a short laugh and i shouldn't wonder if cousin eunice was sorry over a few other things too phronsie

wouldn't it make her very glad if i gave charlotte some of the money

for answer mister king set her down hastily on the floor and took two or three turns up and down the room

oh i do so wish i might she said there's so much for a little girl like me

it would be so nice to have charlotte have some with me still no answer

i was writing a note to missus fargo said phronsie putting up her lips for a kiss

sure as i can be phronsie said old mister king smiling good bye dear

there there my sister's boy shall never say that but come in come in

i know you did uncle said pickering you've done everything that's good

for heaven's sake pickering cried his uncle darting in front of the chair in its restless occupant don't say that again

i've been a lazy dog all my life and a good for not but i hope i've not sunk to that

the church bells were ringing and people on the avenue going by to service turned curious inquiring looks out of the great house and then went on talking of the recent events which had so strangely entered into and made history in the city

and all through his impassioned appeal this morning there was a note of sadness and rebuke and stern condemnation that made many of the members pale with self accusation or with inward anger

for that had been the fact in raymond for years the saloon ruled

president marsh sat there his usual erect handsome firm bright self confident bearing all gone his head bowed upon his breast the great tears rolling down his cheeks unmindful of the fact that never before had he shown outward emotion in a public service

what had become of its regular precise conventional order of service undisturbed by any vulgar emotion and unmoved by any foolish excitement

they had been living so long on their surface feelings that they had almost forgotten the deeper wells of life

the meeting was tender it glowed with the spirit's presence it was alive with strong and lasting resolve to begin a war on the whisky power in raiment that would break its rain for ever

since the first sunday when the first company of volunteers had pledged themselves to do as jesus would do the different meetings had been characterized by distinct impulses or impressions

and all through it ran one general cry for deliverance from the saloon in its awful curse

gray and his wife were besieged by inquirers who wanted to know what lorne's friends and acquaintances were expected to do in paying their last respects to her

grey had gone up to virginia's and after talking it over with her and maxwell the arrangement had been made

i am and always have been opposed to large public funerals said gray whose complete wholesome simplicity of character was one of its greatest sources of strength but the cry of the poor creatures who knew loreen is so earnest that i do not know how to refuse this desire to see her and pay her poor body some last little honour what do you think mister maxwell

i am sure that whatever you and miss page think best will be right

under the circumstances i have a great distaste for what seems like display at such times but this seems different

it happened that that afternoon a somewhat noted newspaper correspondent was passing through raymond on his way to an editorial convention in a neighboring city

she was a common street drunkard and yet the services of the tent were as impressive as any i ever witnessed in a metropolitan church over the most distinguished citizen

it struck me of course being a stranger in the place with considerable astonishment to hear voices like those one naturally expects to hear only in great churches or concerts at such a meeting as this

mister maxwell spoke of the fact that the dead woman had been fully prepared to go but he spoke in a peculiarly sensitive manner of the effect of the liquor business on the lives of men and women like this one

raymond of course being a railroad town in the centre of the great packing interests for this region is full of saloons

then followed what was perhaps the queer part of this strange service

it was one of the simplest and at the same time one of the most impressive sights i ever witnessed

there must have been a hundred of these women and i was told many of them had been converted at the meetings just recently

the next moment he fell back in amazement before the impetuous rush of a starry eyed flushed cheeked young woman who demanded

aunt hannah's cheeks too were flushed and her eyes starry but with dismay and anger the last because she did not like the way pete had said miss billy's name

it was one matter for her to object to this thing billy was doing but quite another for pete to do it of course it's she

retorted aunt hannah testily as if you yourself didn't bring her here with your crazy messages at this time of night pete where is he

interposed billy tell mister bertram i am here or wait i'll go right in and surprise him

pete had recovered himself by now but he did not even glance toward aunt hannah

miss billy miss billy you're an angel straight from heaven you are you are oh i'm so glad you came

billy turned eagerly but before she could take so much as one step toward the door at the end of the hall aunt hannah's indignant voice arrested her billy stop

pete go tell your master that we are here and ask if he will receive us pete's lips twitched

a flying figure brushed by him and fell on its seas by the couch with a low cry bertram's eyes flew open

dongling found him there a minute later polishing a silver teaspoon with a fringed napkin that had been spread over bertram's tray

in the hall above aunt hannah was crying into william's grey linen duster that hung on the hall rack aunt hannah's handkerchief was on the floor back at hillside

then very gradually it dawned over them that there was after all something strange and unexplained in it all

as if to make sure that she was here like this he drew her even closer bertram was so thankful that he did have one arm that was usable

why of course stammered billy i couldn't help thinking that maybe you had found out you didn't want me

billy laughed gaily but she shifted her position and did not meet her lover's eyes

and you never did think for a minute billy that you cared for him

billy was so glad bertram had turned the question on her love instead of arcrites

i don't know as i can trust you out of my sight till then you'll read something or hear something or get a letter from kate after breakfast to morrow morning that will set you saving me again and i don't want to be saved that way

i'm going to marry you to morrow i'll get he stopped short with a sudden frown confound that law i forgot

i wonder if you think i can get ready to be married in five days

don't want you to get ready retorted bertram promptly i saw marie get ready and i had all i wanted of it

if you really must have all those miles of tablecloths and napkins and doyles and lace rufflings we'll do it afterwards not before but

the tender glow on billy's face told its own story and bertram's eager eyes were not slow to read it

sweetheart see here dear he cried softly tightening his good left arm

it was aunt hannah's plaintive voice at the doorway a little later

we wanted it to morrow but we had to wait on account of the new license law

in my recent travels in the west i felt that out there freedom as an idea has become feeble and ineffectual

they are flattered into believing that they are free and they have the sovereign power in their hands

thus it has become more and more evident to me that the ideal of freedom has grown tenuous in the atmosphere of the vast

the mentality is that of a slave owning community with a mutilated multitude of men tied to its commercial and political treadmill

he who cares to have slaves must chain himself to them he who builds walls to create exclusion for others builds walls across his own freedom he who distrusts freedom in others loses his moral right to it

the great epic of the cell of our people the mahapada gives us a wonderful vision of an overflowing life full of the freedom of inquiry and experiment

when the age of the buddha came humanity was torred in our country to its automo's depth

the organic unity of a variant and elastic society gave way to a conventional odour which proved its artificial character by its inexorable law of exclusion

life has its inequalities i admit but they are natural and are in harmony with our vital functions

by squeezing human beings in the grip of an an elastic system and forcibly hulting them fixed we have ignored the laws of life and growth

we have forced living cells into a permanent passivity making them incapable of moulding circumstance to their own intrinsic design and of mastering their own destiny

our stupefaction has become so absolute that we do not even realize that this persistent misfortune dogging our steps for ages cannot be a mere accident of history removable only by another accident from outside

we will be incapable of holding a just freedom in politics and a fighting and freedom scores

it represents the active aspect of inertia which has the appearance of freedom but not its truth and therefore gives rise to slavery both within its boundaries and outside

it is at the foot of woman that belay the laurels that without her smile would never have been gained it is her image that strings the lyre of the poet that animates our voice in the blaze of eloquent faction and guides our drain in the august toils of stately councils

it makes the heartache but to picture such vicissitudes to the imagination

the knowledge that such changes can occur flits over the mind like the thought of death obscuring ola gay fancies with its bathlike wing and chaining the healthy atmosphere of her happiness with its venomous aspirations

do not be angry with your henrietta but i'm nervous about concealing our engagement from papa

days must elapse before you can reach path and i know ferdinand i know your office is more difficult than you will confess

but come back my own as soon as you can and write to me at the pelsh office as you settled

on the pradson heights where he had fallen with the flagstaff in his hand lay prince andrew bulgonski bleeding profusely and unconsciously uttering a gentle piteous and childlike moon

suddenly he again felt that he was alive and suffering from a burning lacerating pain in his head

he feigly moved his leg and uttered a weak sickly groan which aroused his own pity

prince andrew remembered nothing more he lost consciousness from the terrible pain of being lifted on to the stretcher the jolting while being moved and the probing of his wound at the dressing station

during this transfer he felt a little stronger and was able to look about him and even speak

youth is no hindrance to courage muttered suctel in a failing voice

prince andrew who had also been brought forward before the emperor's eyes to complete the show of prisoners could not fail to attract his attention

the soldiers who had carried prince andrew had noticed and taken the little gold icon princess mary had hung round her brother's neck but seeing the favour the emperor showed the prisoners they now hastened to return the holy image

prince andrew did not see how and by whom it was replaced but the little icon with its thin gold chain suddenly appeared upon his chest outside his uniform

how good it ud be to know where to seek for help in this life and what to expect after it beyond the grave

how happy and calm i should be if i could now say lord have mercy on me

either to a power indefinable incomprehensible which i not only cannot address but which i cannot even express in words the great old or nothing said he to himself or to that god who has been sown into this amulet by mary

the quiet home life and peaceful happiness of bold hills presented itself to him

key is a nervous bilious subject said larry and will not recover

then something has happened he has some special information some great news

when block appeared it was evident that something had gone wrong with him

you shall be dismissed discharged from the tsar your disgrace to the force

we entered the first restaurant that of the reunited trance he knew it perhaps monsieur

i had no fear of him not till the very last when he played me this evil turn

i suspected nothing when he brought out his pocket book it was tough to monsieur i saw that and my conference increased called for the reckoning and paid with an italian bang note

it was only now at the leventhar that the italian had become inculpated and the question of his possible anxiety to escape had never been considered

hand it to me said the chief and when it came into his hands he began to turn over the leaves hurriedly

of course such a consummate ass as you have proved yourself would not think of searching the restaurant or the immediate neighborhood or of making inquiries as to whether he had been seen or as to which way he had gone

it was a note for a hundred lere a hundred francs and the restaurant bill lost no more than seventeen francs ha

directly he crossed the thresheld he called the first cab and was driving away but he was stopped the devil

he wished to pass on to leave her she would not consent then they both got into the cab and were driven away together

but this thy host so wide the spread wakes in my heart one doubt and read lest threatening rama good and great ill tots thy janney stimulate

no tart but this thy heart should frame this simple truth my lips proclaim

as guha does and war at each two other spoke in friendly speech the day god sank with glory dead and night over all the sky was spread

soon as king who has thoughtful care had quartered all the army dare well honoured but laid his head beside satruna on a bed

thus sighing and distressed and misery and beat a grief with fevered heart that mocked relief distracted in his mind the chao still mourned and found no rest

rest ditya's minded i will keep my watch while rama lies asleep for in the whole wide world is none dearer to me than rago's son

harbour no doubt or jealous fear i speak the truth with heart sincere for from the grace which he has shown will glory on my name be thrown great store of marriage shall i gain and dudeus form no wish in vain

let me enforced by many a row our followers armed with shaft and bow for well nebrama's whale provide who lies asleep by cita's side

with warts like these i spoke designed to move the high souled veret's mind but he upon his duty bent plied his pursuive argument oh how can slumber close mine eyes while lowly couch to its cetile lies the royal rama

he whom no mighty demon know nor heavenly god can overtrow see guha how he lies alas with cita couched on gathered cras

now as his son is forced to fly the king ere long will see only die rest of his guardian hand forlorn immediate grief this land will mourn

but ah forset cauchinia how fair she and mine own mother now how fails the king

it hopes upon satrugna said my mother miss alvib as yet but the sad quen will die who bore the hero for her grief isau

when fate has brought the mournful day who it sees my father pass away how happy in their lives are day allowed his funeral rights to pay

when guha sawed a long armed chief whose eye was like a lotus leaven'd shoulder strong and fair high metalled prostrate in despair pale bitaly afflicted e reeled as an earthquake reels a tree

carsilia by her war oppressed the senseless bird's limbs caressed as a fond cow in love and fear cares is oft her youngling deer then yielding to her war she said weeping and sore disquiet what tarments o my son are these of sudden pain or swift disease

the lives of us and all the line the pan their child are only dine

ra my luxman force to flee i lead by naught but seeing thee for as the king has passed away thou art my only help to day

then calm and steel abjoled in tot he drank the water luxman broad and then obedient to his vows he fasted with his gentle spouse

here stands the tree whose lend them shath here is the grass when it it laid where rama and his consort spent the night together ere they went

each morn and eve he brought me food and filial care my life reneer'd

sweeped to the south his cause he bent and cleft the yielding aliment

the holy spirits of the air came round me as i marvelled there and cried as their bright lygians mad jose is sital leaving yet

thus cried the saints and told the name of him who hold the struggling dame

then from the flood some party paid due offerings to his browder shade

seven nights in deadly swarm i passed but struggling life returned at last

around i bent my wandering view but every spart was strange and near

on comrades to the cave i cried and all would in the portal hide

he adow with hospitable care hast fed us with the noblest fair preserving us about to die with this thy plentiful supply

then speak again the banner chief we came to dee and found relief

our wanderings in this vasty cave exhaust at times sir grieva gave

once more then lady grant release and let thy suppliants go in peace again upon the erarant sped for king sagrivazir we dread

and the great task our sovereign said alice is unaccomplished yet

and howled his waters raw and rave terrific with each crested wave

demand is lost in toil and pain and now my friends what hopes remain

your hearts with strong affection fraught his will in every labour sought and the true valor of your band was blasned wide in every land

come let us all from food abstain and perish does since hope is vain

far better does to end our lives and leave our wealth our homes and wives leave our dear little ones and all than by his ventful hand to fall

our forfeit lives will surely pay for idle search and long delay and our fierce king will be us die the favour of his friend to buy

then tara softly spake to cheer the barner's heart suppressed by fear despair no more your doubts dispel come in this ample cavern dwell

thou fondly hopest in this gave the vengeance of the foe to brave

but luxman's arm a shower will send off deadly shafts those walls to rend

thy loving kinsmen true and wise looks on these tale with favouring eyes

he halted the prince's furious tread he saw his eyes glow fiercely red

swift sprang the monarch to his feet obstaring from his golden seat

ungrateful barner king art thou and fateless to die plighted vow

now if thy pride disown what he high toted prince has done for thee struck by his arrows shalt thou fall and bali meet in yama's hall

then to thy plighted ward be true nor let thy steps that pat pursue

he ceased and tara starry eyed does to the angry prince replied not to my lord shouldst thou address a speech so fraud or to be tones not does reproach to my lord should be and list of all o prince by thee

from parts of true he never strays nor wanders in forbidden ways

restored to fame by rama's grace to empire o'er the barna rays from ceaseless dread and toil set free restored to rumour and to me by grief and care and exile tried kneel to the bliss so long did night like vishamitra once allows he marks not how the seasons pass

the mattrance of the wana rays see marks of fury in dives they see dying eyes like blood are red and will not yet become faltered

so tara was pleading just and mild his softening heart had reconciled

the hero's side i will not leave but he the conquest shall achieve

so strong are thou so brave and bold so pure in taught so humble souled that thou deservest well to reign and all a monarch's bliss to gain

landow my brother aid and all his foes beneath his arm will fall

whatever hand it was the shot down bourbon rome after his death was plundered devastated and ravaged by a brutal greedy licentious and fanatical soldier

for the future write us nothing at all but appoint us the time and place of meeting and we will bring our sword for you to cross protesting that the shame of any delay in fighting shall be yours seeing that when it comes to an encounter there is an end of all writing

sir answered the spaniard permit me to do my office and say what the emperor has charged me to say

nay i will not listen to thee said francis if thou do not first give me a patent sign by thy master containing an appointment of time and place sir i have orders to read you the cartel and give it you afterwards

nay said frances i will not suffer him to speak to me before he has given me appointment of time and place

the piece of cambrai was called the ladies piece in honor of the two princesses who had negotiated it though morally different and of very unequal worth they both had minds of a rare order and trained to recognize political necessities and not to attempt any but possible successes

all the great political actors seemed hurrying away from the stage as if the drama were approaching its end

in fifteen sixty two at the battle of drew he was aged and so ill that none expected to see him on horseback

he fully armed save only his head answered him right well sir this is the real medicine that hath cured me for the battle which is toward and are preparing for the honour of god in our camp

the lady's peace concluded a cambra in fifteen twenty nine lasted up to fifteen thirty six incessantly troubled however by far from pacific symptoms proceedings and preparations

it was garciaso de la vega the prince of spanish posi the spanish petrarch according to his fellow countrymen

they all repaired together to the house prepared for their reception and after dinner the emperor being tired lay down to rest on a couch queen eleanor before long went and tapped at his door and sent word to the king that the emperor was awake

francis with the cardinal de lorraine and the constable de montmorenci soon arrived

on entering the chamber he found the emperor still lying down and chatting with his sister the queen who was seated beside him on a chair

yes said charles i had made such cheer that i was obliged to sleep it off

only seven of the attendants remained in the emperor's chamber and there the two sovereigns conversed for an hour after which they moved to the hall where a splendid supper awaited them

the gentes pleaded their privilege of not being liable to be taxed without their own consent

orders had been sent everywhere to receive him as kings of france are received on their joyous accession

there was no other such child there never had been and there never would be

lilich's eyes were dark and large her cheeks were rosy her lips were made for kisses and for laughter

but it was not these charms in latcha that gave her mother the keenest joy

he was always fresh and cool with a frigid smile and wherever he passed cold currents seemed to move in the air

it even seemed to azar ephemer alexandrovna that she was in love with her future husband and this made her happy

the brad was also good looking she was a tall dark eyed dark haired girl somewhat timid but very tactful

after their marriage there was nothing in the manner of seria modistovitch to suggest anything wrong to his wife

later however when his wife was about to have a child sergiostovitch established connections elsewhere of a light and temporary nature

seraphima alexandrovna found this out and to her own astonishment was not particularly hurt she awaited her infant with a restless anticipation that swallowed every other feeling

lutchka then ran away stamping with her plump little legs over the carpets and hid herself behind the curtains near her bed

where is my baby girl the mother asked as she looked for lelatchka and made believe that she did not see her

then she came out a little farther and her mother as though she had only just caught sight of her seized her by her little shoulders and exclaimed joyously here she is my lachka

leletchka turned away as though not to see but watched her mammochka stealthily all the time

her mother was growing more absorbed every moment by her interest in the game her heart beat with short quick strokes and she pressed even closer to the wall disarranging her hair still more

leletka suddenly glanced toward her mother's corner and screamed with joy

through the half closed doors he heard the laughter the joyous outcries the sound of romping

he liked coming here where everything was beautifully arranged this was done by seraphima alexandrovna who wished to surround her little girl from her very infancy only with the loveliest things

seraphima alexandrovna dressed herself tastefully this too she did for laluchka with the same end in view

one thing sergey modistovitch had not become reconciled to and this was his wife's almost continuous presence in the nursery

it's just as i thought i knew that i'd find you here he said with a derisive and condescending smile

nearly you see that the child should feel its own individuality he explained in answer to seraphima alexandrovna's puzzled glance

i'll think it over his wife answered smiling as he did coldly but genuinely

that the mistress does it well that's one thing but that the young lady does it that's bad

this expression of curiosity gave her face the look of a wooden roughly painted doll

yes that's bad repeated agatha with conviction terribly bad well

it's the truth i'm saying remember my words agatha went on with the same assurance and secrecy

the old woman had invented this sign quite suddenly herself and she was evidently very proud of it

what is it phidosia she asked with great concern is there anything wrong with lolechka

no madam said fidocia she gesticulated with her hands to reassure her mistress and to make her sit down

only i'd like to say something you see loletchka is always hiding herself that is not good

i can't tell you how bad it is said phydosia and her face expressed the most decided confidence

you see madam it's a kind of omen explains vidocia abruptly in a shamefaced way

who told you all this asked seraphima alexandrovna in an austere low voice

no exclaimed seraphima alexandrovna in irritation as though she wished to protect herself somehow from this sudden anxiety

she saw clearly that there could be no possible connection between a child's quite ordinary diversion and the continuation of the child's life

she made a special effort that evening to occupy her mind with other matters but her thoughts turned involuntarily to the fact that loledka loved to hide herself

when laluchka was still quite small and had learned to distinguish between her mother and her nurse she sometimes sitting in her nurse's arms made a sudden ruggish grimace and hid her laughing face in the nurse's shoulder

though she reproached herself at once for this unfounded superstitious dread nevertheless she could not enter whole heartedly into the spirit of lelechka's favourite game and she tried to divert lelichka's attention to something else

perhaps thought sarafema alexandrovna she is not as strongly drawn to the world as other children who are attracted by many things

seraphima alexandrovna herself began the game once or twice though she played it with a heavy heart

she suffered as though committing an evil deed with full consciousness

luccha drew her sweet little hands from under the blanket and stretched them out to embrace her mother her mother bent down

she seemed so small and so frail under the blanket that covered her

sara female alexandrovna remained standing over lelechka's bed a long while and she kept looking at lechka with tenderness and fear

i'm a mother is it possible that i shouldn't be able to protect her she thought as she imagined the various ills that might be followed

she prayed long that night but the prayer did not relieve her sadness

when seraphima alexandrovna awakened by phydosia came to lelecha and saw her looking so hot so restless and so tormented she instantly recalled the evil omen and a hopeless despair took possession of her from the first moments

a doctor was called and everything was done that is usual on such occasions but the inevitable happened

nothing made her so unhappy as the reiterations of phydosia uttered between sobs she hid herself and hid herself our lelechka

fever was consuming lalachka and there were times when she lost consciousness and spoken delirium

sir female alexandrovna hid her face behind the curtains near lelechka's bed how tragic

mimotchka's white face became blurred and everything grew dark before leletka

sir female alexandrovna was standing by the coffin and looking dully at her dead child

sima my dear don't agitate yourself said sergey molosovich in a whisper

she'll be up in a minute persisted seraphima alexandrovna her eyes fixed on the dead little girl

sergey modistovitch looked round him cautiously he was afraid of the unseemly and of the ridiculous

she went into the nursery and began to walk round the room looking into those places where lolechka used to hide herself

she walked all about the room and bent now and then to look under the table or under the bed and kept on repeating cheerfully where is my little one where is my leletka

after she had walked round the room once she began to make her question you

phydosia motionless with dejected face sat in a corner and looked frightened at her mistress then she suddenly burst out sobbing and she wailed loudly

when she entered the parlour there were several people between her and lelechka

there was an oppressive feeling of heaviness in seraphium alexandrovna's head as she approached lelechka

saraphem alexandrovna stood up erect sighed in a lost way smiled and called loudly lelechka

at this moment the heavy beat of the storm on the roof ceased with miraculous suddenness leaving the outside world empty of sound save for the drip drip drip of eaves

we had ever sort of people with us off and on and as i was look out at a popular game i saw them all

at the same instant i heard the rip of steel through cloth and felt a sharp stab in my left leg

then i scattered to see what had cut me and found that the fellow had lost a hand

there was no doubt of his being alive for he was breathing hard like a man does when he gets hit over the head it didn't sound good

sour wine is fine to put a wound in shape the heel but there's no soothing syrup

their coffin wears their ship and the grave it was the sea blow high blow low what care we and the quarter that we gave them was to sink them in the sea done on the coast of the high barbari

it fair made my hair rise to hear him with a big still solemn desert outside and the quiet moonlight in the shadows and him sitting up straight and gaunt his eyes blazing each side his big eagle nose and his snaky hair hanging over the raw cut across his head

however i made out to get him bandaged up and in shape and pretty soon he sort of went to sleep

then again he'd sing that barbery song until i'd go out and look at the old colorado flowing by just to be sure i hadn't died and gone below or else he'd just talk

he began when he was a kid and he gave his sight of conversations pausing for replies

i used to listen by the hour but i never made out anything really important as to who the man was or where he'd come from or what he'd done

usually i didn't bother with his talk for it didn't mean anything a something in his voice made me turn

he was lying on his side those black eyes of his blazon at me but now both of them saw the same distance

now you're a nice sweet proposition said i as soon as i was sure he could understand me

he looked to me mighty suspicious but didn't say anything more he wouldn't even answer when i spoke to him

when i came back that evening the bunk was empty and he was gone

guess he's suspicious i stole that old coat o heres thinks i and afterwards i found that my surmise had been correct

anyway i thrust the muzzle of my colts into the sailor's face what's this i asked

in any case he flew poco pronto leaving me and my friend together

during the next two months she was a good deal about town mostly doin odd jobs i saw him off and on

however i didn't pay much attention to that being at the time almighty busy holdin down my card games

and it's a big thing said handy solomon to me for they's not only gold but alter jewels and diamonds

it will make us rich and a dozen like us and you can kiss the book on that

didn't you save my life and nuss me and take care of me when i was not killed

look here anderson or handy solomon or whatever are you pleased to call yourself i rejoin to this if you're going to do business with me and i do not understand yet just what it is you want of me you'll have to talk straight

the devil's a preacher if you ain't lost your pen feather said he

well it's this then i got to have a boat to get there and she must be stocked

and i got to have help with the treasure if it's like this fellow said it was

it's money i got to have and it's money i haven't got an can't git unless i let somebody in his partner

he strongly opposed this as to depreciating the shares but i had no intention of going alone into what was then considered a wild and dangerous country finally we compromised

a third of the treasure was to go to him a third to me and the rest was to be divided among the men whom i should select this scheme did not appeal to him

but since there existed for us no responsibility we each reported dutifully at the roll call of habit and draw back into our blankets with a grateful sigh

i remember the moon sailing a good gate among apparently stationary cloudlets i recalled a deep black shadow line before distant silvery mountains i glanced over the stark motionless canvases each of which concealed a man the air trembled with a bellowment of cattle in the corrals

seemingly but a moment later the cook's howl brought me to consciousness again

three were to care for the remuda five were to move the stray herd from the kraals to good feed three brandon crews were told to brand the cast we had collected in the cut of the afternoon before that took up about half the men

we were the only ones who did go afoot however although the kraals were not more than two hundred yards a distance

between the upright bars of grease wood we could see the cattle and near the opposite side the men building a fire next the fence

once did waiting for them to finish a sheaf of long j h stamp and irons in his hand

all the races squatted on their hills along the fence smoking cigarettes and chatting together

the first rays of the sun signed it across in one great sweep from the remote mountains

as the loop settled he jerked sharply upward exactly as one would strike to hook a big fish

homer wrapped the rope twice or thrice about the horn and set over in one strip to avoid the tightened line and to preserve the balance

behind him followed his anxious mother her head swinging from side to side near the fire the horse stopped

when once you have had the wind knocked out of you or a rib or two broken you cease to think this unnecessarily rough

the brand show cherry which is the proper color to indicate due peelin and a successful mark

it seems to me that a great deal of unnecessary twaddle as abroad as to the extreme cruelty of brandon

undoubtedly it is to some extent painful it could some other method of ready identification be devised it might be as well to adopt it in preference

inextinguishable laughter followed the spread of this doctrine through arizona

imagine a puncher descending to examine politely the ear tags of wild cattle on the open range or in around up

a calf usually bellows when the iron bites but as soon as released he almost invariably goes to feeding are to look uni about

besides which it happens but once in a lifetime and is over in ten seconds a comfort denied to those of us who have had our teeth filled

one of the little animals was but a few months old so the rider did not bother with its hind legs but tossed his loop over its neck

mister frost's bull calf alone in pictorial history shows the attitudes

and then of course there was a gorgeous contrast between all this frantic and uncomprehended excitement and the absolute matter of fact in proputability of horse and rider

as he knew his business and as the calf was a small one the little beast went over promptly bit the ground with the whack and was pounced upon and held

he would catch himself on one foot scramble vigorously and in by struggling back to the upright

when the nooses fell they turn and walk toward the fire as a matter of course rarely did the cast fail

if luck attended his first effort his sarcasm was profound there's your little calf said he

would you like to have me towed it to you or do you reckon you could toddle this far with your little old iron

finally homer rode over to the cattleman and reported the brandon finished

the markers squatted on their heels told over the bits of ears they had saved

they had been doing a wrestler's heavy work all the morning they did not seem to be tired

i saw once in some crank physical culture periodical that a cowboy's life was physically ill balanced like an oarsman's in that it exercised only certain muscles of the body

and after they had eaten and drank durane went to sleep and so did eaten it also

we managed to get three tons of ice one hundred sixty two cockases of mutton and three cockases of beef beside some boxes of sweet breads and kidneys into this space

k and i lunch with the party in the new zealand company ship rupaho

and the neighboring chiefs knowing this grow insolent toward him and cover his land in possessions

and never was there seen a fairer host journeying towards a severn

how then are we to decide which of the enumerous candidates for divine honors should be given our votes

will he not permit them to touch him to caress his hand to clasp his divine feet to inhel the ambrosial fragrance of his breath to bask in the golden light of his eyes to hear the music of his immaculate accents

i asked my eyes fell with wonder and my voice quivering with excitement

the mind crays for knowledge the child asks questions because of an inborning desire to know

with this mythos the prone to man was satisfied until his developing intelligence realized its inaniz was born of that realization

we feel the space about and over us with spirits fairies gods and other invisible and airy beings

as intelligent beings we desire to know whether this jesus whose worship is not only costing the world millions of the people's money but which is also drawn to his service the time the energies the affections the devotions and the labor humanity is a myth or reality

she is deceiving you said d'artagnan not a muscle of whose face had moved those are pig words who makes use of them

and a fine affair that would be so much the better what should i kill

no need the dress or stuff like that if it isn't ejaculated mister bunny

and what a charming colour she has in her clear she's usually paler

not long after this frances burrow found his way to miss belinda he was very busy and rather nervous and niece is evidently enjoying herself he remarked

he felt himself ill used by fate and rather bush to have returned to london from bottox instead of loitering and slow bridge

she broke out indignantly how could she speak to me in such manner

if you will say yes to that i think i'd impromise that you may never be afraid of her any more

why that thing we must charge you three in a quarter this time the

hedder in short that in taking six quarts of its good see do it thompson i can't very well leave the game now is getting right warm

this pilot speeding is all the smash the widdy completed we paddled on again

still with all these disadvantages they continue playing they want it to learn the game

this whit seems rather than that we took in the yellow faces but we're nearly out again and must be looking out for more

they've happened here told thompson to take six chords which would last to daylight and again turn his attention to the game

i had risen and went out with the captain to enjoy a view of a bluffs

but she soon felt it was not about anything which having only lately and suddenly occurred could have given rice to any complicated thoughts that her father wished to speak to her

i will answer any questions this once but after to night let us never speak of it again

margaret i am a poor calward after all i cannot bear to give pain

said margaret looking scornful what in the world in manufactures what with the classics of literature or the accomplishments of a gentleman

and in milton margaret i shall find a busy life if not a happy one and people and seeing so different that i shall never be reminded of helston

the next moment she feared lest this answer to his blessing might be irreverent wrong might hurt him as coming from his daughter as she threw her arms round his neck

that was before edmedus sailed on the argo with jason and the companions of the quest

a radiant figure it was and it medic knew that this was apollo come to him again

what years of happiness have been mine oh apollo through your friendship for me said ned medic

admedis admedus he said it is for me to tell you that you may no more look on the blue sky nor walk upon the green earth

if one will go willingly in thy place with death thou canst still live on go edmedus

there she was sitting as he had first known her with her eyes bleared and her knees shaking and with the dust of the courtyard and the husks of the corn in her matted hair

and as for admirs he went within the chamber and knelt beside the bed on which alchestis had lain and thought of his terrible loss

the good man lives in world of friendly individuals the well being of any of whom he regards as his own

it hopes upon satrugna said my mother miss alvib as yet but the sad quen will die who bore the hero for her grief isa

sweeped to the south his cause he bent and cleft the yielding element

the holy spirits of the air came round me as i marvelled there and cried as their bright lygians mad jose is sita living yet

then speak again the banner chief we came to thee and found relief

thou fondly hopest in this cave the vengeance of the foe to brave

thy loving kinsman true and wise looks on these tale with favouring eyes

then to thy plighted word be true nor let thy steps that pat pursue

so strong are thou so brave and bold so pure in taught so humble souled that thou deservest well to reign and all a monarch bliss to gain

it was garciaso de la vega the prince of spanish posy the spanish petrarch according to his fellow countrymen

francis with the cardinal de lorraine and the constable de montmorency soon arrived

the bride was also good looking she was a tall dark eyed dark haired girl somewhat timid but very tactful

after their marriage there was nothing in the manner of sergey modistovitch to suggest anything wrong to his wife

where is my baby girl the mother asked as she looked for lechka and made believe that she did not see her

lelechka turned away as though not to see but watched her macha stealthily all the time

only i'd like to say something you see loledka is always hiding herself that is not good

though she reproached herself at once for this unfounded superstitious dread nevertheless she could not enter whole heartedly into the spirit of lelechka's favourite game and she tried to divert lelechka's attention to something else

perhaps thought seraphima alexandrovna she is not as strongly drawn to the world as other children who are attracted by many things

lecha drew her sweet little hands from under the blanket and stretched them out to embrace her mother her mother bent down

sima my dear don't agitate yourself said sergey molosovitch in a whisper

she walked all about the room and bent now and then to look under the table or under the bed and kept on repeating cheerfully where is my little one where is my latchka

we had every sort of people with us off and on and as i was look out at a popular game i saw them all

he began when he was a kid and he gave his side of conversations pausing for replies

he was lying on his side those black eyes of his blazing at me but now both of them saw the same distance

why don't you get your treasure without the need of divide in it

the devil's a preacher if you ain't lost your pin feather said he

it's money i got to have and it's money i haven't got and can't get unless i let somebody in his partner

i remember the moon sailing a good gate among apparently stationary cloudlets i recalled a deep black shadow line before distant silvery mountains i glanced over the stark motionless canvases each of which concealed a man the air trembled with the bellowing of cattle in the corrals

between the upright bars of greasewood we could see the cattle and near the opposite side the men building a fire next the fence

all the rest squatted on their hills along the fence smoking cigarettes and chatting together

the brand show cherry which is the proper color to indicate due peeling and a successful mark

and then of course there was a gorgeous contrast between all this frantic and uncomprehending excitement and the absolute matter of fact in proputability of horse and rider

they had been doing a wrestler's heavy work all the morning but did not seem to be tired

you know to my shame i confessed it to you the last time we met you know that my heart in secret is all yours

objection one it will seem that in the state of innocence men would not have been master were men

she is actually delighted when any one writes her name up in a take notice for all she pretends to be so mad

they rushed into the room added their cries to hers and forgetting all their former precautions left the doors open so that the guards outside hearing their clamor entered and saw the prince

there was an oppressive feeling of heaviness in seraphium alexandrovna's head as she approached leletka

draint as he had been used to do when he was at arthur's court frequented tournaments

before geraint the scourge of the enemy i saw steeds white with foam and after the shout of battle a fearful torrent

and he desired enid to mount her horse and to ride forward and to keep a long way before him

and though thou shouldst desire to see my defeat and my death by the hands of those men yet do i feel no dread

and they left the wood and they came to an open country with meadows on one hand and mowers mowing the meadows

wilt thou foul my counsel said the youth and take thy meal for me

wilt thou follow my counsel said the youth and take thy meal from me

and after they had eaten and drank geraint went to sleep and so did enid also

the dates seem unimportant but throughout the period the officers and men of the ship have been unremittingly busy

bowers attacked the ship's stores surveyed relisted and restowed them saving very much space by unstowing numerous cases and stowing the contents in the lazarette

as the ship was and in her present heavily laden condition it would certainly have taken three to four hours each day

the engine room staff and anderson's people on the engines scientists were stowing their laboratories the cook refitting his galley and so forth not a single spot but had its band of workers

the men's space such as it is therefore extends from the fore hatch to the stem on the main deck

under the forecastle are stalls of fifteen ponies the maximum space would hold the narrow irregular space in front is packed tight with fodder

under the forecastle are stalls for fifteen ponies the maximum the space would hold the narrow irregular space in front is packed tight with fodder

immediately behind the forecastle bulkhead is a small booby hatch the only henches to the men's mestic and bad weather

immediately behind the forecastle bulkhead is the small booby hatch the only entrance to the men's mess deck in bad weather

we managed to get three tons of ice one hundred sixty two carcases of mutton and three carcases of beef besides some boxes of sweetbreads and kidneys into this space

the scene is wholly enchanting and such a view from some sheltered sunny corner in a garden which blazes with masses of red and golden flowers tends to feelings of inexpressible satisfaction with all things

k and i lunch with a party in the new zealand company ship rupahu

k and i lunched with a party in the new zealand company's ship ruapehu

a third sledge stands across the break of the poop in the space hitherto occupied by the after winch

they must perforce be chained up and they are given what shelter is afforded on deck but their position is not enviable

it is a pathetic attitude deeply significant of cold and misery occasionally some poor beast emits a long pathetic whine

later in the day the wind has veered to the westward heading us slightly

there was nothing for it but to grapple with the evil and nearly all hands were labouring for hours in the waist of the ship heaving coal sacks overboard and re lashing the petrol cases et cetera in the best manner possible under such difficult and dangerous circumstances

the afterguard were organised in two parties by evans to work buckets the men were kept steadily going on the choked hand pumps this seemed all that could be done for the moment and what a measure to count as the sole safeguard of the ship from sinking practically an attempt to bale her out

and the last dog that was let loose was the favorite dog of arthur cavall was his name

one wished that it should be given to the lady best beloved by him and another to the lady whom he loved best

and after midday they beheld an unshapely little man upon a horse and after him a dame or a damsel also on horseback and after her a knight of large stature bowed down and hanging his head low and sorrowfully and clad in broken and worthless armor

lady said he at the gate there is a knight and i saw never a man of so pitiful an aspect to look upon as he

and geraint greets thee well and in greeting thee he compelled me to come hither to do thy pleasure for the insult which thy maiden received from the dwarf now where did he overtake thee

well that author from what i hear it behoves gwenver to be merciful towards thee

well that author from what i hear it behoves winever to be merciful towards thee

well said arthur from what i hear it behooves guenever to be merciful towards thee

thus will it be best to do said arthur let this man have medical care until it be known whether he may live

and being young he changed himself and grew to hate the sin that seem'd so like his own of modred arthur's nephew and fell at last in the great battle fighting for the king

and when jerane came to the place wig whenever was he saluted her

and when gerain came to the place wig whenever was he saluted her

and when geraint came to the place where guenever was he saluted her

and inasmuch as thou hast vanquished ednaran the son of nud thou hast had a prosperous career

and inasmuch as thou hast vanquished edeyrn the son of nudd thou hast had a prosperous career

and the neighbouring chiefs knowing this grow insolent toward him and covert his land in possessions

and the neighboring chiefs knowing this grow insolent towards him and covet his land and possessions

and he said to geraint i am a feeble and an aged man and whilst i was able to maintain the dominion for thee and for myself i did so

then geraint sent ambassadors to the men of cornwall to ask them this

and they all said that it would be the fulness of joy and honor to them for geraint to come and receive their homage

why this discrepancy in a historical document to say nothing about inspiration

again matthew says that to escape the evil designs of herod mary and joseph with the infant jesus fled into egypt luke says nothing about this hurried flight nor of herod's intention to kill the infant messiah

while it is always on a friday that the crucifixion is commemorated the week in which the day occurs varies from year to year

good friday falls not before the spring equinox but as soon after the spring equinox as the full moon allows thus making the calculation to depend upon the position of the sun in the zodiac and the phases of the moon

but in the absence of evidence origin offers the following metaphysical arguments against the sceptical celsus one

if we are to have any mythology at all he seems to argue why object to adding to it the mythus of jesus

it is impossible to explain why the contemporaries of jesus the authors and historians of his time do not take notice of him

how then are we to decide which of the numerous candidates for divine honors should be given our votes

only a mythical jesus could virtually hand over the government of the universe to courtiers who have petitions to press upon his attention

moreover if jesus could keep his promise there would be today no misery in the world no orphans no childless mothers no shipwrecks no floods no famines no disease no crippled children no insanity no wars no crime no wrong

how many self deluded prophets these extravagant claims have produced

the same which the preachers of today give he parried his answer with many words and at length said that the promise was to be taken with the provision that what we asked for would be given if god thought it for our good

but he said if ye ask anything in my name i will do it and if it were not so i would have told you

self effort and not prayer is the remedy against ignorance slavery poverty and moral degradation

i never deliver a lecture in which i do not either directly or indirectly give full and free expression to my faith in every thing that is worthy of faith

oh he tears down but does not build up is another criticism about my work it is not true

clapping truth into jail gagging the mouth of the student is that building up or tearing down

when bruno lighted a new torch to increase the light of the world what was his reward the stake

not having the courage or the industry of our neighbor who works like a busy bee in the world of men and books searching with the sweat of his brow for the real bread of life wetting the open page before him with his tears pushing into the wee hours of the night his quest animated by the fairest of all loves the love of truth we ease our own indolent conscience by calling him names

as i approached the city i heard bells ringing and a little later i found the streets astir with throngs of well dressed people in family groups wending their way hither and thither

but the greeks loved their gods i protested my heart clamoring in my breast

it made athens a city of light it created the beautiful the true the good yes our religion was divine

then taking heart i told my guide how more than once i had felt apollo's radiant presence in my heart and told him of the immortal lines of homer concerning the divine apollo

observing my anxiety to understand the meaning of all this my guide took me aside and in a whisper told me that the people were celebrating the anniversary of the birthday of their beautiful savior jesus the son of god

forget apollo he said with a suggestion of severity in his voice

if you were to search for apollo in all the universe you would never find any one answering to his name or description

would not that then i ventured to ask impatiently make jesus as much of an idol as apollo

and if faith that jesus is a god proves him a god why will not faith in apollo make him a god

the mind crays for knowledge the child asks questions because of an inborn desire to know

the mind craves for knowledge the child asks questions because of an inborn desire to know

with this mythus the primitive man was satisfied until his developing intelligence realized its inadequacy science was born of that realization

the myth of a one eyed people living in india has been replaced by accurate information concerning the hindoos

it is reflection which introduces a bit into the mouth of imagination curbing its pace and subduing its restless spirit

our feet do not really begin to touch the firm ground until we have reached the years of discretion

as intelligent beings we desire to know whether this jesus whose worship is not only costing the world millions of the people's money but which is also drawing to his service the time the energies the affection the devotion and the labor of humanity is a myth or a reality

and again when the artist following malicorne's advice was a little late in arriving and when saint aignan had been obliged to be absent for some time it was interesting to observe though no one witnessed them those moments of silence full of deep expression which united in one sigh two souls most disposed to understand each other and who by no means objected to the quiet meditation they enjoyed together

in a word malicorne philosopher that he was though he knew it not had learned how to inspire the king with an appetite in the midst of plenty and with desire in the assurance of possession

in this manner therefore without leaving her room and having no confidante she was able to return to her apartment thus removing by her appearance a little tardy perhaps the suspicions of the most determined skeptics

but the door remained closed and neither saint aignan nor the painter appeared nor did the hangings even move

la valliere with a gesture partly of extreme terror and partly as if invoking a blessing attempted to speak but could not articulate one word

the captain sitting parried in his leather arm chair his spurs fixed in the floor his sword between his legs was reading a number of letters as he twisted his moustache

the captain sitting buried in his leathern armchair his spurs fixed in the floor his sword between his legs was reading a number of letters as he twisted his mustache

raoul my boy he said by what lucky accident does it happen that the king has recalled you

these words did not sound agreeably in the young man's ears who as he seated himself replied upon my word i cannot tell you all that i know is i have come back hum

raoul was already pale enough and he now began to turn his hat round and round in his hand

what the deuce is the matter that you look as you do and what makes you so dumb

said the captain do people nowadays assume that sort of airs in england

i have been in england and came here again as lively as a chaffinch

d'artagnan increased the sharpness of his penetrating gaze which no secret was capable of resisting

i have neither head nor arm do not despise but help me in two words i am the most wretched of living beings oh oh

i never complain as you know but as heaven and my father would never forgive me for blowing out my brains i will go and get the first person i meet to give me the information which you withhold i will tell him he lies and and you would kill him

i hardly know who can have taught you logic but deuce take me if your father has not been regularly robbed of his money

idle fancies monsieur i do not laugh at you although i am a gascon

upon my word i do not know someone told me there was a carpenter who made an opening through a certain floor

upon my word i don't know some one told me there was a carpenter who made an opening through a certain flooring

yes you are right and he made a step or two as if he were going to leave where are you going

you wish to be consoled by some one and you will be so at once she will tell you nothing ill of herself of course so be off

you are mistaken monsieur replied raoul the woman i mean will tell me all the evil she possibly can

and in point of fact why should i play with you as a cat does with a poor mouse

ah said raoul snatching eagerly at the pen which the captain held out to him

i accompany my granddaughter to this this entertainment her ladyship responded

no need to dress yourself like that if it isn't ejaculated mister binnie

when i find a fellow who's neither knave nor full i stick to him believe elfin to find out

when i find a fellow who's neither knave nor full i stick to him believe elseon to find out

when i find a fellow who's neither knave nor full i stick to him believe else than to find out

when i find a fellow who's neither knave nor fool i stick to him believe i'll send to find out

the only time he had made any comment upon her was the first time he saw her in the dress she had copied from octavius nice didn't get it here all wager

the only time he had made any comment upon her was the first time he saw her in the dress she had copied from octavius nice didn't get it here i wager

the only time he had made any comment upon her was the first time he saw her in the dress she had copied from octavius nice here all wager

the only time he had made any comment upon her was the first time he saw her in the dress she had copied from octavia's nice gown that he blurted out didn't get it here i'll wager

in fact she had perfectly confounded her ladyship by her demeanor

before breakfast miss belinda was startled by the arrival of another telegram which ran as follows

octavia was a marked figure upon the grounds at that garden party another dress my dear remarked missus burnham

and what a charming colour she has in her clear she is usually paler

and what a charming color she has i declare she is usually paler

she was enjoying herself mister francis barold observed it rather gloomily as he stood apart

and then had come lord lansdowne who in crossing the lawn to shake hands with his host had been observed to keep his eye fixed upon one particular point burmistone he said after having spoken his first words who is that tall girl in white

and in ten minutes lady theobald missus burnham mister barold and divers others too numerous to mention saw him standing at octavia's side evidently with no intention of leaving it

not long after this francis barold found his way to miss belinda who was very busy and rather nervous your niece is evidently enjoying herself he remarked

very few people understand octavia said miss belinda i'm not sure that i follow all her moods myself

barrel said nong his moustache and made no reply he was not very comfortable

barold stood gnawing his mustache and made no reply he was not very comfortable

he felt himself ill used by fate and rather wished he had returned to london from broadoaks instead of loitering in slowbridge

it's deucedly bad form on his part he said mentally what does he mean by it

but she glared at barold as he passed and beckoned to him where is lucia she demanded

i saw her with burmistone half an hour ago he answered coldly have you any message for my mother i shall return to london to morrow leaving here early she turned quite pale

evidently something had happened octavia she said mister dugald binnie is at oldclough who is he

he is my grand uncle explained lucia tremulously he has a great deal of money

i am to run after a man who does not care for me and make myself attractive in the hope that he will condescend to marry me because mister binnie may leave me his money

do you wonder that it took even lady theobald a long time to say that

well remarked octavia you won't do it i suppose i wouldn't worry

lucia thought deeply for a moment she recognized all at once several things she had been mystified by before

her delicate nostrils were dilated she held her head up her breath came fast there was a hint of exultation in her tone

he took hold of her shaking little hand and looked down at her excited face

lucia he said i wish you would let me go and talk with lady theobald you she said with a little start

if you will say yes to that i think i can promise that you need never be afraid of her any more

i am desperately in love with you he answered in his quietest way

why capting we must charge you three and a quarter this time the d l

supper was over and i retired to my upper berth situated alongside and overlooking the brag table where the captain was deeply engaged having now the other pilot as his principal opponent

hed her in short that in taking six quarts of its good see do it thompson i can't very well leave the game now it's getting right warm

head her in shore then and take in six cords if it's good see to it thompson i can't very well leave the game now it's getting right warm

this pilot's beating is all the smash the witty completed we paddled on again

this pilot's beating us all to smash the wooding completed we paddled on again

still with all these disadvantages they continued playing they wanted to learn the game

oh pretty glibly sir replied the mate we can scarcely tell what headway we are making for we are obliged to keep the middle of the river and there is the shadow of a fog rising

this wood seems rather better than that we took in at yellow face's but we're nearly out again and must be looking out for more

yes yes replied the captain mean the bell and ask when it's the price of wood up here

yes yes replied the captain ring the bell and ask em what's the price of wood up here

the captain here told thompson to take six cords which would last till daylight and again turned his attention to the game

wood taken in the caravan again took her place in the middle of the stream paddling on as usual day at length dawned

i had risen and went out with a captain to enjoy a view of the bluffs

she sat by herself at the fire with unlighted candles on the table behind her thinking over the day the happy walk happy sketching cheerful pleasant dinner and the uncomfortable miserable walk in the garden

here was she disturbed and unhappy because her instinct had made anything but a refusal impossible while he not many minutes after he had met with a rejection of what ought to have been the deepest holiest proposal of his life could speak as if briefs success and all its superficial consequences of a good house clever and agreeable society were the sole avowed objects of his desires oh dear

her mother came into the room before this whirl of thought was adjusted into anything like order

her mother came into the room before this world of thought was adjusted into anything like order

mister hale sipped his tea in abstracted silence margaret had the responses all to herself

margaret was preparing her mother's worsted work and rather shrinking from the thought of the long evening and wishing bed time were come that she might go over the events of the day again

surely if the bishop were told all we know about frederick and the hard unjust

the one staid foundation of her home of her idea of her beloved father seemed reeling and rocking

he swallowed down the dry choking sobs which had been heaving up from his heart hitherto and going to his bookcase he took down a volume which he had often been reading lately and from which he thought he had derived strength to enter upon the course in which he was now embarked

if when thou art charged with corrupting god's worship falsifying thy vows thou pretendest a necessity for it in order to a continuance in the ministry

as he read this and glanced at much more which he did not read he gained resolution for himself and felt as if he too could be brave and firm in doing what he believed to be right but as he ceased he heard margaret's low convulsive sob and his courage sank down under the keen sense of suffering

i have borne long with self reproach that would have roused any mind less torpid and cowardly than mine

margaret i tried to do it i tried to content myself with simply refusing the additional preferment and stopping quietly here strangling my conscience now as i had strained it before

he rose and walked up and down the room speaking low words of self reproach and humiliation of which margaret was thankful to hear but few

i have written to the bishop i dare say i have told you so but i forget things just now said mister hale collapsing into his depressed manner as soon as he came to talk of hard matter of fact details informing him of my intention to resign this vicarage

that will be a trial but worse far worse will be the parting from my dear people

margaret i am a poor coward after all i cannot bear to give pain

she will she must be shocked' as the force of the blow returned upon herself in trying to realise how another would take it

to milton northern he answered with a dull indifference for he had perceived that although his daughter's love had made her cling to him and for a moment strive to soothe him with her love yet the keenness of the pain was as fresh as ever in her mind

but he with his quick intuitive sympathy read in her face as in a mirror the reflections of his own moody depression and turned it off with an effort

i am going out for the day to bid farmer dobson and the poor people on bracy common good bye

you and mamma have some money independent of the income from the living have not you aunt shaw has i know

frederick must not suffer said margaret decidedly in a foreign country so unjustly treated by his own hundred is left

i can always decide better by myself and not influenced by those whom i love said he as a half apology for having arranged so much before he had told any one of his family of his intentions

mister hale continued a few months ago when my misery of doubt became more than i could bear without speaking i wrote to mister bell you remember mister bell margaret

at any rate he has property there which has very much increased in value since milton has become such a large manufacturing town

said margaret looking scornful what in the world do manufacturers want with the classics or literature or the accomplishments of a gentleman

oh said her father some of them really seem to be fine fellows conscious of their own deficiencies which is more than many a man at oxford is

some want the children to be better instructed than they themselves have been

and in milton margaret i shall find a busy life if not a happy one and people and scenes so different that i shall never be reminded of helstone

discordant as it was with almost a detestation for all she had ever heard of the north of england the manufacturers the people the wild and bleak country there was this one recommendation it would be different from helstone and could never remind them of that beloved place

the next moment she feared lest this answer to his blessing might be irreverent wrong might hurt him as coming from his daughter and she threw her arms round his neck

she heard him murmur to himself the martyrs and confessors had even more pain to bear i will not shrink

in seventeen fifty he came forth in the character for which he was eminently qualified a majestick teacher of moral and religious wisdom

addison's note was a fiction in which unconnected fragments of his lucubrations were purposely jumbled together in as odd a manner as he could in order to produce a laughable effect

where johnson's abbreviations are all distinct and applicable to each subject of which the head is mentioned

publick calamities no sense of the prevalence of bad habits negligent of time ready to undertake careless to pursue all changed by time

confident of others unsuspecting as unexperienced imagining himself secure against neglect never imagines they will venture to treat him ill ready to trust expecting to be trusted

of confederacy with superiours every one knows the inconvenience

this your mother will still perform if you diligently preserve the memory of her life and of her death a life so far as i can learn useful wise and innocent and a death resigned peaceful and holy

if you write down minutely what you remember of her from your earliest years you will read it with great pleasure and receive from it many hints of soothing recollection when time shall remove her yet farther from you and your grief shall be matured to veneration

no thirty two on patience even under extreme misery is wonderfully lofty and as much above the rant of stoicism as the sun of revelation is brighter than the twilight of pagan philosophy

our extremest pleasure has some sort of groaning and complaining in it would you not say that it is dying of pain

the highest and fullest contentment offers more of the grave than of the merry ipsa felicitas se nisi temperat premit even felicity unless it moderate itself oppresses

socrates says that some god tried to mix in one mass and to confound pain and pleasure but not being able to do it he bethought him at least to couple them by the tail metrodorus said that in sorrow there is some mixture of pleasure

nature discovers this confusion to us painters hold that the same motions and grimaces of the face that serve for weeping serve for laughter too and indeed before the one or the other be finished do but observe the painter's manner of handling and you will be in doubt to which of the two the design tends and the extreme of laughter does at last bring tears

and therefore common and less speculative souls are found to be more proper for and more successful in the management of affairs and the elevated and exquisite opinions of philosophy unfit for business this sharp vivacity of soul and the supple and restless volubility attending it disturb our negotiations

he who dives into and in his inquisition comprehends all circumstances and consequences hinders his election a little engine well handled is sufficient for executions whether of less or greater weight

ancient traditions speak much of his learning and of the gallant inroads he had made into the dead languages in which he had made captive a host of greek nouns and latin verbs and brought off rich booty in ancient saws and apophthegms which he was wont to parade in his public harangues as a triumphant general of yore his spolia opima

the romans by this means erected their colonies for perceiving their city to grow immeasurably populous they eased it of the most unnecessary people and sent them to inhabit and cultivate the lands conquered by them sometimes also they purposely maintained wars with some of their enemies not only to keep their own men in action for fear lest idleness the mother of corruption should bring upon them some worse inconvenience

between baring island and beecher point there are a considerable quantity of islands in the midst of ice fields the streams crowd together in the little channels which cut up this part of the sea they had a tendency to agglomerate under the relatively low temperature hummocks were formed here and there and these masses already more compact denser and closer together would soon form an impenetrable mass

there's more than one amongst us who would like to imitate them i think

they are cowards mister clawbonny those animals have no provisions as we have and are obliged to seek their food where it is to be found

i am of the same opinion as you johnson and if he only wanted one faithful companion he'll have two

prince albert land which the forward was then coasting bears also the name of grinnell land and though hatteras from his hatred to the yankees would never call it by its american name it is the one it generally goes by

on the eighteenth of august they sighted bretonia mountain scarcely visible through the mist and the forward weighed anchor the next day in northumberland bay

on the eighteenth of august they sighted britannia mountain scarcely visible through the mist and the forward weighed anchor the next day in northumberland bay

afterward people wondered at admetes ever smiling face and ever rating being

afterward people wondered at admetus's ever smiling face and ever radiant being

that was before admetus sailed on the argo with jason and the companions of the quest

thereafter admedus having the love of alchestis was even more happy than he had been before

thereafter admetus having the love of alcestis was even more happy than he had been before

a radiant figure it was and admetus knew that this was apollo come to him again

what years of happiness have been mine o apollo through your friendship for me said admetus

he spoke and his voice was not that clear and vibrant voice that he had once in speaking to admetus

admedis admedis he said it is for me to tell you that you may no more look on the blue sky nor walk upon the green earth

admetus admetus he said it is for me to tell you that you may no more look on the blue sky nor walk upon the green earth

it is for me to tell you that the god of the underworld will have you come to him admetus admetus know that even now the god of the underworld is sending death for you

if one will go willingly in thy place with death thou canst still live on go admetus

he went to her and spoke to her and he asked her to take the place of the king and go with death

admetus took the man's shriveled hand and he asked him if he would not take the king's place and go with death that was coming for him

then admetus went into the palace and into the chamber where his bed was and he lay down upon the bed and he lamented that he would have to go with death that was coming for him from the god of the underworld and he lamented that none of the wretched ones around the palace would take his place

one should go in your place for you are the king and have many great affairs to attend to

he lifted alcestis from the bed and he carried her from the palace

and as for admetus he went within the chamber and knelt beside the bed on which alcestis had lain and thought of his terrible loss

i have dragged up from the underworld he thought the hound that guards those whom death brings down into the realm of the god of the underworld

he left the palace of admetus and he went to the temple of the gods

here is a woman whom i am bringing back to her husband i won her from an enemy

then admetus raised the veil of the woman he had taken across the threshold of his house

thus when dogmas lead it what the man really and in general wills remains still the same

he sees that the distinction between himself and others which to the bad man is so great a gulf only belongs to a fleeting and illusive phenomenon

he recognises himself his will in every being and consequently also in the sufferer

the opposite of the sting of conscience the origin and significance of which is explained above is the good conscience the satisfaction which we experience after every disinterested deed

therefore although the knowledge of the lot of mankind generally does not make his disposition a joyful one yet the permanent knowledge of his own nature in all living beings gives him a certain evenness and even serenity of disposition

the accidents which concern individuals collectively equalise themselves while those which happen to the particular individual constitute good or bad fortune

thus though others have set up moral principles which they give out as prescriptions for virtue and laws which it was necessary to follow i as has already been said cannot do this because i have no ought or law to prescribe to the eternally free will

further than this it cannot go for there exists no reason for preferring the individuality of another to its own

yet the number of other individuals whose whole happiness or life is in danger may outweigh the regard for one's own particular well being

so died socrates in geordano bruno and so many a hero of the truth suffered death at the stake at the hand of the priests

so died socrates and giordano bruno and so many a hero of the truth suffered death at the stake at the hands of the priests

either we vividly put ourselves in the place of the sufferer by imagination or see in his fate the lot of humanity as a whole and consequently first of all our own lot and thus in a very roundabout way it is yet always about ourselves that we weep sympathy with ourselves which we feel this seems to be the principal reason of the universal and thus natural weeping in the case of death

and many of the magicians of egypt who had come with king sesostris stayed in that city of aea and they taught people spells that could stay the moon in her going and coming in her rising and setting

medea too his wise daughter knew the secrets taught by those who could sway the moon

for jason was the grandson of crethius and crathius was the brother of athamus their grandfather

for jason was the grandson of cretheus and cretheus was the brother of athamas their grandfather

as they came to the city a mist fell and jason and his comrades with the sons of phrixus went through the city without being seen

the mist lifted and before the heroes was the wonder of the palace in the bright light of the morning

on each side of the courtyard were the palace buildings in one king a eetes lived with apsyrtus his son and in the other chalciope and medea lived with their handmaidens

and then a dove flew toward her it was being chased by hawk and media saw the hawk's eyes and beak

and then a dove flew toward her it was being chased by a hawk and medea saw the hawk's eyes and beak

we pulled away from that place and thereafter we were driven by the winds back to the mouth of the phases

we pulled away from that place and thereafter we were driven by the winds back to the mouth of the phase

we pulled away from that place and thereafter we were driven by the winds back to the mouth of the phas

a eetes's heart was filled with wrath as he looked upon them and his eyes shone as a leopard's eyes

and it may be that i shall give you the golden fleece to bear away after i have made trial of you

know that on the plain of ares yonder i have two fire breathing bulls with feet of brass

then i sowed the furrows not with the seed that demeter gives but with teeth of a dragon

if you can accomplish this that i accomplished in days gone by i shall submit to you and give you the golden fleece

tommo will like to have me go with him and sing while he plays his harp in the streets

yes i will try and then if i do well the little ones shall have a merry christmas

she thanked tommo and ran away to get ready for she felt sure her father would not refuse her anything

then she washed out little ranza's frock and put it to dry because she would not be able to do it the next day

as soon as her father was gone tessa flew about and put everything in nice order telling the children she was going out for the day and they were to mind tommo's mother who would see about the fire and the dinner for the good woman loved tessa and entered into her little plans with all her heart

poor tessa's heart beat fast as she trudged away with tommo who slung his harp over his shoulder and gave her his hand

see now have no fear give them bella monica that is merry and will make the laugh whispered tommo tuning his harp

one fat old frenchman nodded to her and it seemed to help her very much for she began to sing before she thought and that was the hardest part of it

but tommo shook his curly head and answered soberly yes i took you there first for they love music and are of our country but up among the great houses we shall not always do well

but she had made half a dollar for tommo divided the money fairly and she felt rich with her share

her hands were covered with chilblains for she had no mittens but she put them under her shawl and scuffled merrily away in her big boots feeling so glad that the week was over and nearly three dollars safe in her pocket

how brisk every one was and how bright the faces looked as people trotted about with big baskets holly wreaths and young evergreens going to blossom into splendid christmas trees

who knows what may happen if we do well returned tommo nodding wisely for he had a plan as well as tessa and kept chuckling over it as he trudged through the mud

we'll try one more street and then go home thou art so tired little one

tessa felt so grateful that without waiting for tommo she sang her sweetest little song all alone

i'll ask mamma said rose and away she went into the dining room close by

as the door opened tessa saw what looked to her like a fairy feast all silver mugs and flowery plates and oranges and nuts and rosy wine in tall glass pitchers and smoking dishes that smelt so deliciously she could not restrain a little sniff of satisfaction

ah yes i shall come with much gladness and play as never in my life before cried tommo with a flourish of the old cap that made the children laugh

give these to your brothers said the fairy prince stuffing nuts and oranges into tessa's hands

ah so kind so very kind i have no way to say thank you but ranza shall be for you a heavenly angel and i will sing my heart out for your tree cried tessa folding the mittens as if she would say a prayer of thankfulness if she knew how

four socks instead of three and by the fourth pinned out quite elegantly was a little dress evidently meant for her a warm woollen dress all made and actually with bright buttons on it

in her long stocking she found all sorts of treasures for tommo had stuffed it full of queer things and his mother had made gingerbread into every imaginable shape from fat pigs to full omnibuses

little ronza was accepted with delight by the kind lady and her children and tessa learned the song quite easily

before they went home the kind mamma told tessa she should be her friend and gave her a motherly kiss which warmed the child's heart and seemed to set a seal upon that promise

so awed were they by the presence of a living united states senator that during three minutes not a spit ball was thrown

the usual sunday school exercises were hurried through and then the minister got up and bored the house with a speech built on the customary sunday school plan then the superintendent put in his oar then the town dignitaries had their say

i hope you love your sunday school ah i see by your faces that you do that is right

that poor little boy that loved his sunday school became that man that man stands before you

never mind polly said jasper there's all next summer and after our winter in dresden and all our hard work over music won't it be fine though to jaunt round again and his eyes glistened

and you'll go on drawing and painting until you get to be a great artist ran on polly enthusiastically and then we'll see something you've done in the louvre maybe the louvre cried adela o dear me polly pepper

what's up little mother asked tom in surprise at her unusual manner it's this tom

oh isn't it oats pease beans in barley growed polly as they watched them intently

oh isn't it oats pease beans and barley growed polly as they watched them intently

oh isn't it oats peas beans and barley grow cried polly as they watched them intently

and his long arm went out and picked a jacket end of an urchin who incautiously regarding such quiet travellers as not worth minding had hovered too near while trying to tease the girls

two or three days of rest at martiney put everyone in good shape and gave them all a bit of time to pick up on many little things that were behind hand

two or three days of rest at martigny put everybody in good shape and gave them all a bit of time to pick up on many little things that were behindhand

that's my third letter polly announced jasper on the other side of the table now i am going to begin on joel's

then his face brightened and he said and she's right polly while polly fished a franc out of joel's little money bag that hung at her belt

do get the stamps please jasper and put them on as he took up her two letters and she gave the bag a little pat for joel's sake wishing it was his stubby black hair that her fingers could touch

i don't know where we are going to get nice white paper for our round robin said polly leaning her elbows on the table and her chin in her hands i know ejaculated tom whirling on his heel and dashing out

i want polly to said phronsie wriggling away from the pen that polly held out alluringly

phronsie who hadn't heard what polly said her small head being full of the responsibility of beginning the important letter and considering since it was to be done it was best to have it over with as soon as possible fell to scribbling the letters as fast as she could all of them running down hill

i tell you you don't know my granddaddy he's got lots of fun in him he added

i wouldn't feel so badly polly he managed to whisper when phronsie was absorbed with her work he'll like it probably just as father did the gingerbread boy

he seems to accomplish something every time he goes observed jasper dryly hullo just look at him now

he seems to accomplish something every time he goes observed jasper drily halloo just look at him now

oh dear me exclaimed adela as her scissors slipped now you've jogged the table again then she caught polly's eye

o dear me exclaimed adela as her scissors slipped now you've joggled the table again then she caught polly's eye

the rest of it is nice whispered jasper and i venture to say he'll like that the best of all

mister king thought so too and he beamed at phronsie so you did he cried now that's fine i wish you'd write me a letter sometime

i don't know how to say good bye to you nelly told dorothy anne next morning

i don't know how to say good by to you nellie told dorothy and nan next morning

come nellie called missus mc laughlin i am ready where is your hat

well we have had a good vacation and i am willing to go to work again

captain bull the commander of a small garrison at saybrook permitted him to land but when the governor began to read his commission bull ordered him to be silent

what has happened mister prince wadsworth asked for he could see that the man was greatly excited governor andros has come again gasped mister prince why should that alarm us the fellow though given to boasting is not dangerous or liable to put his threats into execution but he has grown dangerous declared mister prince the liberties of the colony are involved

captain wadsworth became a little uneasy though he was still inclined to treat the matter lightly

that is true captain wadsworth continued mister prince and to subdue our stubbornness this viceroy has come to hartford with sixty armed men to demand the surrender of the charter in person

captain wadsworth bounded to his feet in a rage and placing his hand on the hilt of his sword declared he shall not have it

the day was well nigh spent when he arrived and the members were engaged in a heated debate on a subject of the utmost importance

after the captain had taken two or three turns across the room he paused and asked

mister prince fixed his amazed eyes on the captain's face and read their desperate determination captain he began

take your place charles and be prepared to do your part whispered captain wadsworth

charles got as close to the long table used by the secretaries as possible without attracting special attention

the discussion went on darkness came and four lighted candles were placed on the table and two set on a shelf on the wall

those two candles on the wall were a great annoyance to charles until he saw a man stationed near them

though the lights were extinguished through the windows the faint starlight dimly illuminated the scene

the soldiers began to crowd about the house when at a signal from captain wadsworth the train bands came on the scene and prepared to grapple with the soldiers

little did the captain or his youthful assistant dream that their simple act would make the old tree historic

the tree in which the document was hidden was ever afterward known as the charter oak

it remained vigorous bearing fruit every year until a little after midnight august eighteen fifty six when it was prostrated by a heavy storm of wind

when the order for the seizure of the charters was first made known the assembly of rhode island sent a most loyal address to the king saying

he formally dissolved the assembly broke the seal of the colony which bore the figure of an anchor and the word hope admitted five of the inhabitants into his legislative council and assumed the functions of governor but he did not take away the parchment on which the charter was written

from that time until the enforced union of the colonies for mutual defence at the breaking out of the french and indian war the inhabitants of rhode island bore their share in the defensive efforts especially when the hostile savages hung along the frontiers of new york like an ill omened cloud

the history of that commonwealth is identified with that of all new england from the beginning of king william's war soon after to the expulsion of andros

finally we had every law gloated on the schooner and we started off

the value repeated the captain aside so that the strangers might not hear

well i'm a rich man now and so is my mate mc laughlin for that wood was contracted for by the largest and richest piano firm in this country and now it is all but delivered to them and the money in our hands

he made the clerks remove all the truck from the aisles and i guess everybody was glad the army fell down

it's a schooner said mister bingham to mister minter and she has a very heavy cargo

it's a schooner said mister bingham to mister minturn and she has a very heavy cargo

what's that board for asked bert as he saw board following the cable

they are printed in a number of languages and they tell the crew to carry the end of the cable high up the mast and fasten it strongly there

oh i see said bert the line will stretch then and the breeches buoy will go out on a pulley

missus bobbsey missus minturn nellie and her mother besides dorothy and nan were all there flossie and freddie being obliged to stay home with dinah and susan

of course the girls asked all sorts of questions and bert and hal tried to answer them as best they could

the girls and women were too frightened to talk and nellie clung close to her mother

a big roller dashing in finished the work for the life guards and a man in the cork belt bounded upon shore

everybody gathered around and nellie with a strange face and a stranger hope broke through the crowd to see the rescued man

here come another man exclaimed the people as this time a big man dashed on sands

here comes another man exclaimed the people as this time a big man dashed on the sands

just as mister bingham said the life saving work turned out to be a social affair for there was a great time greeting nellie's father and hal's uncle

pray captain quoth i as i was going down into the cabin is a man never overtaken by death in this passage

why there is not time for a man to be sick in it replied he what a cursed lyar for i am sick as a horse quoth i already what a brain upside down hey day

was not democritus who laughed ten times more than i town clerk of abdera

i see shores of them depart not perhaps without an innate longing too to get the island along with those happy snobs

i see shoals of them depart not perhaps without an innate longing too to quit the island along with those happy snobs

farewell dear friends i say you little know that the individual who regards you from the beach is your friend and historiographer and brother

i went to day to see our excellent friend snooks on board the queen of the french many scores of snobs were there on the deck of that fine ship marching forth in their pride and bravery

i have seen snobs in pink coats and hunting boots scouring over the campagna of rome and have heard their oaths and their well known slang in the galleries of the vatican and under the shadowy arches of the colosseum

my lady marchioness comes on board looks round with that happy air of mingled terror and impertinence which distinguishes her ladyship and rushes to her carriage for it is impossible that she should mingle with the other snobs on deck

look at honest nathan houndsditch and his lady and their little son

what a noble air of blazing contentment illuminates the features of those snobs of eastern race

i have said before i like to look at the peoples on their gala days they are so picturesquely and outrageously splendid and happy

yonder comes captain bull spick and span tight and trim who travels for four or six months every year of his life who does not commit himself by luxury of raiment or insolence of demeanour but i think is as great a snob as any man on board

bull passes the season in london sponging for dinners and sleeping in a garret near his club

that broad shouldered buck with the great whiskers and the cleaned white kid gloves is mister phelim clancy of poldoodystown he calls himself mister de clancy he endeavours to disguise his native brogue with the richest superposition of english and if you play at billiards or ecarte with him the chances are that you will win the first game and he the seven or eight games ensuing

when a gross instance of snobbishness happens why should not the indignant journalist call the public attention to that delinquency too

how for instance could that wonderful case of the earl of mangelwurzel and his brother be examined in the snobbish point of view

all we require is that a man should be recommended to us by the earl of mangaltes

all we require is that a man should be recommended to us by the earl of mangelwurzelshire

it was her snobbish sentiment that misled her and made her vanities a prey to the swindling fortune teller

how would you account for the prodigious benevolence exercised towards the interesting young french lady

finally there was the case of the right honourable mister vernon at york

one day the trait of fled with a teapot and a basket full of cold pictures

one day the traitor fled with a teapot and a basketful of cold victuals

it was the right honourable which baited the hook which gorged all these greedy simple snobs

and yet all these instances of fond and credulous snobbishness have occurred in the same week's paper with who knows how many score more

we are just the same to persons who is a handle to his n a must deserve without it

we are just the same to persons with a handle to their name as to those without it

we never write a perfumed paper in short i can't help thinking that if you knew us you would not think a snobs

we never write a perfumed paper in short i can't help thinking that if you knew us you would not sink us not

we never write on perfumed paper in short i can't help thinking that if you knew us you would not think us snobs

i shall have a black crape round my white hat and my usual bamboo cane with the richly gilt knob

i am sorry there will be no time to get up moustaches between now and next week

seventeen suits me as nearest my own time of life but mind i don't say two and twenty is too old

that very confidence savours of arrogance and to be arrogant is to be a snob

interest however still runs on in both cases the periodical or accidental payments of it just serving to keep the memory of the affair alive till at length in some evil hour pop comes the creditor upon each and by demanding principal upon the spot together with full interest to the very day makes them both feel the full extent of their obligations

as the reader for i hate your ifs has a thorough knowledge of human nature i need not say more to satisfy him that my hero could not go on at this rate without some slight experience of these incidental mementos

to speak the truth he had wantonly involved himself in a multitude of small book debts of this stamp which notwithstanding eugenius's frequent advice he too much disregarded thinking that as not one of them was contracted thro any malignancy but on the contrary from an honesty of mind and a mere jocundity of humour they would all of them be cross'd out in course

eugenius would never admit this and would often tell him that one day or other he would certainly be reckoned with and he would often add in an accent of sorrowful apprehension to the uttermost mite

if you want to hunt your harriers on foot sixteen inches is quite big enough almost too big to run with but if you are riding to them twenty inches is a useful height or even nineteen inches

one hears now of the chauston the halstead place very noted indeed the hulton the leigh park the stoke place the edinburgh the surbiton the trinity foot the wooddale missus g w hilliard's missus price's and missus turner's

neck moderately long slightly arched the throat showing some dewlap

fore legs quite straight well under the dog of good substance and round in the bone

and beyond the limits of the duration of the idea of god supposing the latter at some time not to have existed or not to be going to exist thought would perforce have existed without the idea of god which is contrary to our hypothesis for we supposed that thought being given the idea of god necessarily flowed therefrom

corollary hence it follows that god is not only the cause of things coming into existence but also of their continuing in existence that is in scholastic phraseology god is cause of the being of things essendi rerum

i was wishing somebody would give the conversation a start when indiany made a break

i'm gwine down to orleans to see if i can't git a contract out of uncle sam to feed the boys what's been lickin them infernal mexicans so bad

he shut his mouth right in the middle of what he was sayin and looked at the preacher while his face got as red as fire

swearin says the old preacher is a terrible bad practice and there ain't no use in it nohow

the old gentleman with the cane took a part in the conversation and the hoosier listened without ever opening his head

he was at sodom and gomorrow and seen the place whar lot's wife fell ah

yes says the preacher he went to the very spot and what's the remarkablest thing of all he seen the pillar of salt what she was turned into

we had then but little of that minute and accurate knowledge of the interior of the continent which was requisite for a determination of the problem

i assured the general that this was altogether immaterial adding that it was a very pretty quarrel as it stood and that i had no desire to effect a settlement of it on any inferior issue

now missus quilp he says i feel in a smoking humor and shall probably blaze away all night

one of the most distinguished was the great duke of wellington who abominated smoking and was annoyed by the increase of cigar smoking among officers of the army

the ladies had a keen scent for the abominable odour of tobacco and distrusted the men who smoked

here is fitz boodle's or thackeray's comment on it what is this smoking that it should be considered a crime

i believe in my heart that women are jealous of it as of a rival

i would lay a guinea that many a lady who has just been kind enough to read the above lines lays down the book after this confession of mine that i am a smoker and says oh the vulgar wretch and passes on to something else

the journalists and bohemians who met at the cogers were above or below the dictates of fashion and smoking was always a feature of their gatherings

both queen victoria and the prince consort detested it so tobacco was taboo wherever the court was

at that very time at ten in the morning of the second of september napoleon was standing among his troops on the poklonny hill looking at the panorama spread out before him

yet here she is lying at my feet with her golden domes and crosses sincolating and twinkling in the sunshine

yet here she is lying at my feet with her golden domes and crosses scintillating and twinkling in the sunshine

from the height of the kremlin yes there is the kremlin yes i will give them just laws i will teach them the meaning of true civilization i will make generations of boyars remember their conqueror with love

i will tell the deputation that i denounce and do not desire war that i forg the war only against the false policy of the court that i love and respect alexander and that in moscow i will accept terms of peace worthy of myself and of my people

i will tell the deputation that i did not and do not desire war that i have waged war only against the false policy of their court that i love and respect alexander and that in moscow i will accept terms of peace worthy of myself and of my people

i do not wish to utilize the fortunes of war to humiliate an honored monarch

he will have to be told all the same said some gentlemen of the suite but gentlemen

a single report of the signalling gun followed and the troops who were already spread out on different sides of moscow moved into the city through word coluga and targamlov gate

a single report of the signalling gun followed and the troops who were already spread out on different sides of moscow moved into the city through word coluga and targamlov

a single report of a signaling gun followed and the troops who were already spread out on different sides of moscow moved into the city through tver kaluga and dorogomilov gates

his major domo came in a second time to say that the frenchman who had brought the letter from the countess was very anxious to see him if only for a minute and that someone from bazdeev's widow had called to ask pierre to take charge of her husband's books as she herself was leaving for the country

from the landing where pierre stood there was a second staircase leaning to the back enches

from the landing where pierre stood there was a second staircase leading to the back enchant

he went down that staircase and out into the yard no one had seen him

when he felt he was being looked at he behaved like an ostrich which hides its head in a bush in order not to be seen he hung his head and quickening his pace went down the street

he hired the first cab he met and told the driver to go to the patriarch's ponds where the widow bazdeev's house was

this was the authentic scotch acts with bazdeev's notes and explanations

he sat down at the dusty writing table and having laid the manuscripts before him opened them out closed them finally pushed them away and resting his head on his hand sank into meditation

makar alexeevich came twice that evening shuffling along in his galoshes as far as the door and stopped and looked ingratiatingly at pierre

the officers were about to take leave but the prince andrew apparently reluctant to be left alone with his friend asked them to stay in half tea

the officers were about to take leave but prince andrew apparently reluctant to be left alone with his friend asked them to stay and have tea

the officers gazed with surprise and appeared huge stout figure and listened to his talk of a mausico and the position of our army round which he had breden

the officers gazed with his surprise and appeared huge stout figure and listened to his talk of a mausico and the position of our army round which he had breathed

the officers gazed with surprise at pierre's huge stout figure and listened to his talk of moscow and the position of our army round which he had ridden

not being a military man i can't say i have understood it fully but i understand the general position

well then you know more than anyone else be it who it may said prince andrew

pure looked at malkin with a condescending interrogative smile with which everybody voluntarily rejoiced that officer

pierre looked at timokhin with the condescendingly interrogative smile with which everybody involuntarily addressed that officer

we see light again since his serenity has been appointed your excellency said timokhin timidly and continually turning to glance at his colonel

at smolensk too he judged correctly that the french might outflank us as they had larger forces

he ordered us to retreat and all our efforts and losses went for nothing

while russia was well a foreigner could serve her and be a splendid minister but as soon as she is in danger she needs one of her own kin

i don't understand what is meant by a skillful commander replied prince andrew ironically

i don't understand what is meant by a skilful commander replied prince andrew ironically

the relative strength of bodies of troops can never be known to anyone

success never depends and never will depend on position or equipment or even on numbers and least of all on position but on what then

on the feeling that is in me and in him he pointed to timokhin and in each soldier

the fact is that those men with whom you have ridden round the position not only do not help matters but hinder

the french have destroyed my home and are on their way to destroy moscow they have outraged and are outraging me every moment they are my enemies

since they are my foes they cannot be my friends whatever may have been said at tilsit

yes yes muttered pierre looking with shining eyes at prince andrew

they talk to us of the rules of war of chivalry of flags of truce of mercy to the unfortunate and so on it's all rubbish

the plender of the people's houses issue false favor money and worst of out they kill my children and my father and then talk of rules of war and magnimity to foes

they plunder other people's houses issue false paper money and worst of all they kill my children and my father and then talk of rules of war and magnanimity to foes

prince andrew who had felt it was all the same to him whether or not massacre was taken as moulins had been was suddenly checked in his speech by an inspected cramming throat

prince andrew who had thought it was all the same to him whether or not moscow was taken as smolensk had been was suddenly checked in his speech by an unexpected cramp in his throat

and it doesn't do for man to taste of the tree of knowledge of good and evil ah well it's not for long he added

go before battle one master for one's sleep out repeated prince anjou

go before battle one master for one sleep out repeated prince anjou

go go before a battle one must have one's sleep out repeated prince andrew

certainly the lust of cruelty the lust of destruction for destruction's sake is the most conspicuous of the deadly sins in dostoevsky's men and women

even the lust is never or hardly ever the lust of a more or less sane man

dostoevsky could not have described the sin of nekhludov in resurrection

he took a knife and when his friend had turned away he approached him cautiously from behind took aim turned his eyes heavenwards crossed himself and praying fervently god forgive me for christ's sake

he never paints everyman he always projects dostoevsky or a nightmare of dostoevsky

that is why a crime in punishment belongs to a lower range of fiction than anna carena or fathers and sons

that is why crime and punishment belongs to a lower range of fiction than anna karenina or fathers and sons

we sympathize indeed with the fears the bravado the despair that succeed the crime

as for the karamados themselves he betrays the old father and the eldest of his sons hating each other and fighting like brutal maniacs

as for the karamazovs themselves he portrays the old father and the eldest of his sons hating each other and fighting like brutal maniacs

no melodramatist ever poured out incident upon the stage from such a horn of plenty

on two opposite pages of the idiot one finds the following characters brought in by name general apartment prince s adelaida ivanovna lizabeta prokofievna yovani pavlovitch redonski princess billokonsky agleya prince miskin colia ivolgan ipolid vaya ferdishenko nastasia philipovna nina alexandrovna ganya titzen and general ivolgan

but the secret of dostoevsky's appeal is something more than the multitude and thrill of his incidents and characters

mister murry boldly faces the difficulty and attempts the definition

to him dostoevsky's work is the record of a great mind seeking for a way of life it is more than a record of struggle it is the struggle itself

and those voices take shape in certain unforgettable fragments of dialogue that have been spoken by one spirit to another in some ugly mean tavern set in surrounding darkness

to say this is not to deny the spirit of content of dosteeski's work the anguish of the imprisoned soul is at battles with doubt and denial and despair

to say this is not to deny the spiritual content of dostoevsky's work the anguish of the imprisoned soul as it battles with doubt and denial and despair

there is in dostasky a suggestion of caliban trying to discover some better god than sir tavos

there is in dostoevsky a suggestion of caliban trying to discover some better god than setebos

the ultimate attitude of dostoevsky is as christian as the apostle peter's lord i believe help thou mine unbelief

and beyond the dark night of suffering and dissipating the night gustavski still seized the light of christian compassion

and beyond the dark night of suffering and dissipating the night dostoevsky still sees the light of christian compassion

or even by the compassion of others like prince myshkin in the idiot

as to the man himself the vicomte de voguee described him as he saw him in the last years of his life

when he became excited on a certain point one could have sworn that one had seen him before seated on a bench in a police court awaiting trial or among vagabonds who passed their time begging before the prison doors

that is the portrait of the man one sees behind dostoevsky's novels a portrait one might almost have inferred from the novels

you did not come and marching time drew on and wore me numb yet less for loss of your dear presence there than that i thus found lacking in your make that high compassion which can overbear reluctance for pure loving kindness sake grieved i when as the hope hour stroked its sum you did not come

there are hints of the grand style of lyric poetry in these lines but phrases luck in your make and as the hope hour stroke its sum a discourse that bring it tumbling to the levels of victorian commonplace

there are hints of the grand style of lyric poetry in these lines but phrases like in your make and as the hope hour stroked its sum are discords that bring it tumbling to the levels of victorian commonplace

one can remember poem after poem of his with a theme that might easily have served for mister hardy too late cristina the lost mistress the last ride together the statue and the bust to name a few

to have loved even for an hour is with browning to live forever after in the inheritance of a mighty achievement

for then i undistrest by hearts grown cold to me could lonely wait my endless rest with equanimity

but time to make me grieve part steals lets part abide and shakes this fragile frame at eve with throbbings of noontide

we pictured the meek wild creatures where they dwelt in their story pen nor did it occur to one of us there to doubt they were kneeling then

we pictured the meek mild creatures where they dwelt in their strawy pen nor did it occur to one of us there to doubt they were kneeling then

the mood of faith however or rather of delight in the memory of faith is not mister hardy's prevailing mood

he can enter upon a war without ironical doubts as we see in the song men who march away

when shall the saner softer polities whereof we dream have sway in each proud land and patriotism grown godlike scorn to stand bondslave to realms but circle earth and seas

but perhaps his characteristic attitude to war is to be found not in lines like these but in that melancholy poem the souls of the slain in which the souls of the dead soldiers return to their country and question a senior soul flame as to how their friends and relatives have kept their doughty deeds in remembrance

his lovers like his soldiers rot in the grave defeated of their glory

no shade of pinnacle or tree or tower while earth endures will fall on my mound and within the hour steal on to yours one robin never haunt our two green covertures

they bring us face to face with an experience intenser than our own

nothing of tiniest worth have i wrought pondered planned no one thing asking blame or praise since the pale corpse like birth of this diurnal unit bearing blanks in all its rays dullest of dull hued days

in one corner of the little room kenneth forbes squatted upon a bench with an empty pine box held carelessly in his lap

then riding slowly up the hedge bordered road his troubles once more assailed him and he wondered if there was not some spot upon the broad earth to which he could fly for retirement until the girls had left elmhurst for good

nora shied and he looked up to discover that he had nearly run down a pedestrian a stout little man with a bundle under his arm who held up one hand as if to arrest him

then it's the same jane as ever he responded with a shake of his grizzled head

do you know i sort o hoped she'd reformed and i'd be glad to see her again they tell me she's got money

they kept track of her because she suddenly became rich and a great lady and that was a surprising thing to happen to a merrick

thank you lad returned the man gratefully i thought a little exercise would do me good but this three mile has seemed like thirty to me

my father teaches music and mother scolds him continually for not being able to earn enough money to keep out of debt

for my part i am fond of everyone and it delights me to fuss around invalids and assist them

you're trying to make me think you don't want elmhurst when you're as anxious to get it as i am

he could well concede so much to her caprice since her staying at home could be no disadvantage to the cause that had prompted him to the stern counsel

it is already known that this road passed the hacienda of casa del carvo at some distance from the house and on the opposite side of the river

on reaching the copse he dismounted led his horse in among the underwood hitched him by looping his bridle rein around the topmost twigs of an elastic bough then detaching a long rope of twisted horsehair from the horn of his saddle and inserting his arm into its coil he glided out to the edge of the island on that side that lay towards the hacienda

before forsaking the shadow of the copse he cast a glance towards the sky and at the moon sailing supremely over it

the droll conceit which has so oft amused the nocturnal inebriate of great cities appeared to produce a like affect upon the night patroller of the prairie and for a moment the shadow late darkening his brow disappeared

it's not likely at this hour unless it be the owner of a bad conscience who can't sleep

it is true he had designs upon the hacienda but these did not contemplate either its cash plate or jewellery if we except the most precious jewel it contained the mistress of the mansion herself

he tarried at genishau a few days and came up to gardow where i then resided he was apparently without any business that would support him but he soon became acquainted with my son thomas with whom he hunted for a long time and made his home with him at my house winter came on and he continued his stay

we protected the poor nanticoke woman and gave her victuals and allen sympathized with her in her misfortunes till spring when her husband came to her acknowledged his former errors and that he had abused her without a cause promised a reformation and she received him with every mark of a renewal of her affection

the indians were soon answered by the american officer that the wampum was cordially accepted and that a continuance of peace was ardently wished for

my son thomas went with them with allen's horse and carried the goods

allen on finding that his enemies had gone came back to my house where he lived as before but of his return they were soon notified at niagara and nettles who married priscilla ramsay with a small party of indians came on to take him

allen made his trowsers himself and then built a raft on which he went down the river to his own place at mount morris

there an indian gave him some refreshment and a good gun with which he hastened on to little beard's town where he found his squaw

not daring to risk himself at that place for fear of being given up he made her but a short visit and came immediately to gardow

at that time allen lay in a secret place in the gulph a short distance above my flats in a hole that he accidentally found in the rock near the river

the pavlograds held feast after feast celebrating awards they had received for the campaign and made expeditions to olmutz to visit a certain caroline the hungarian who had recently opened a restaurant there with girls as waitresses

the regiments had entered and left the town with their bands playing and by the grand duke's orders the men had marched all the way in step a practice on which the guards prided themselves the officers on foot and at their proper posts

boris during the campaign had made the acquaintance of many persons who might prove useful to him and by a letter of recommendation he had brought from pierre had become acquainted with prince andrew bolkonski through whom he hoped to obtain a post on the commander in chief's staff

berg and boris having rested after yesterday's march were sitting clean and neatly dressed at a round table in the clean quarters allotted to them playing chess

you know of course that his imperial highness rode with our regiment all the time so that we had every comfort and every advantage

he went to his bed drew a purse from under the clean pillow and sent for wine

berg put on the cleanest of coats without a spot or speck of dust stood before a looking glass and brushed the hair on his temples upwards in the way affected by the emperor alexander and having assured himself from the way rostov looked at it that his coat had been noticed left the room with a pleasant smile

oh dear what a beast i am muttered rostov as he read the letter why

in the letter from his parents was enclosed a letter of recommendation to bagration which the old countess at anna mikhaylovna's advice had obtained through an acquaintance and sent to her son asking him to take it to its destination and make use of it

would you believe it count i was not at all alarmed because i knew i was right

i came forward berg stood up and showed how he presented himself with his hand to his cap and really it would have been difficult for a face to express greater respect and self complacency than his did

albanians and devils and to siberia said berg with a sagacious smile

roster was a truthful young man and would or no account have told the deliberate lie

rostov was a truthful young man and would on no account have told a deliberate lie

prince andrew who liked to help young men was flattered by being asked for his assistance and being well disposed toward boris who had managed to please him the day before he wished to do what the young man wanted

in spite of prince andrew's disagreeable ironical tone in spite of the contempt with which rostov from his fighting army point of view regarded all these little adjutants on the staff of whom the newcomer was evidently one rostov felt confused blushed and became silent

we shall probably advance replied bolkonski evidently reluctant to say more in the presence of a stranger

berg took the opportunity to ask with great politeness whether as was rumored the allowance of forage money to captains of companies would be doubled

our stories have some weight not like the stories of those fellows on the staff who get rewards without doing anything

however he added rising you know my name and where to find me but don't forget that i do not regard either myself or you as having been at all insulted and as a man older than you my advice is to let the matter drop

on receiving it he ran on tiptoe to his study in alarm and haste trying to escape notice closed the door and began to read the letter

each time that these hints began to make the countess anxious and she glanced uneasily at the count and at anna mikhaylovna the latter very adroitly turned the conversation to insignificant matters

no on my true word of honor said natasha crossing herself i won't tell anyone

it's true that all you women are crybabies remarked petya pacing the room with large resolute strides

it's because she was in love with that fat one in spectacles that was how petya described his namesake the new count bezukhov and now she's in love with that singer he meant natasha's italian singing master that's why she's ashamed

the countess had been prepared by anna mikhaylovna's hints at dinner

on retiring to her own room she sat in an armchair her eyes fixed on a miniature portrait of her son on the lid of a snuffbox while the tears kept coming into her eyes

at first he heard the sound of indifferent voices then anna mikhaylovna's voice alone in a long speech then a cry then silence then both voices together with glad intonations and then footsteps

i ought to have remembered that a woman can forgive almost any wrong that a man can inflict on her when he is the man whom she loves

it is no fault of mine god knows but it is not the less true that i am not married and that the little jarling who is playing out there with her doll as my child

it is no fault of mine god knows but it is not the less true that i am not married and that the little darling who is playing out there with her doll is my child

it would be better and happier for us both if you had as little pride as the child pride she repeated

the woman in my situation must be heartless indeed who could destroy your place in the estimation of the world and the regard of your friends

you know that there is nothing i will not do to relieve your anxieties

the snare that had been set for her was plainly revealed in those four words

what was there to prevent her from insuring her life if she pleased and from so disposing of the insurance as to give van brandt a direct interest in her death

i could offer to lend the scoundrel the money that he wanted at an hour's notice and he was the man to accept my proposal quite as easily as i could make it

they are trustworthy and experienced men and i am sure they can be of use to you

tell me dorrie does it argue a lack of proper respect for my ancestors that i can't feel very enthusiastic over this heirloom especially when grandmother hunter died years before i was born

penelope was surprised as much as the tender sisterly heart could wish when doris flashed out upon her triumphantly on the evening of the party with the black skirt nicely pressed and re hung and the prettiest waist imaginable a waist that was a positive creation of dainty rose besprinkled silk with a girdle and knots of black velvet

i am named after her missus fairweather suddenly put her arm about penelope and drew the young girl to her her lovely old face aglow with delight and tenderness

when i saw your dress i felt sure you were related to her i should recognize that rosebud silk if i came across it in thibet

now she patted missus fairweather's soft old hand affectionately

doris and penelope found their lives and plans changed in the twinkling of an eye

when missus fairweather had gone doris and penelope looked at each other

aunt jane was standing at the foot of the stairs with a lamp in one hand and a year old baby clinging to the other

i want to run over and see how missus brixby is this evening siddy and you must take care of the baby till i get back

the room was small a mere box above the kitchen which sidney shared with two small cousins

her bed and the cot where the little girls slept filled up almost all the available space

just at that particular angle one eye appeared to be as large as an orange while the other was the size of a pea and the mouth zigzagged from ear to ear

sidney hated that mirror as virulently as she could hate anything

her mother had died the day after and sidney thereupon had come into the hands of good aunt jane with those books for her dowry since nothing else was left after the expenses of the double funeral had been paid

presently she began to write with a flush of real excitement on her face

he wrote that although his age debarred him from membership in the club he was twenty and the limit was eighteen he read the letters of the department with much interest and often had thought of answering some of the requests for correspondents

john lincoln wrote breezy accounts of ranch life and adventures on the far western plains so alien and remote from snug humdrum plainfield life that sidney always had the sensation of crossing a gulf when she opened a letter from the bar n as for sidney's own letter this is the way it read as she wrote it

i love life and its bloom and brilliancy i love meeting new people i love the ripple of music the hum of laughter and conversation

aunt jane came home presently and carried away her sleeping baby sidney said her prayers went to bed and slept soundly and serenely she mailed her letter the next day and a month later an answer came

sidney did not sleep that night but tossed restlessly about or cried in her pillow

sidney trod the way of the transgressor and found that its thorns pierced to bone and marrow

this last four days since your letter came have been dreadful to me

but in the state of innocence there would have been old mecial age

but in the state of innocence there would have been low mecial age

but in the state of innocence there would have been no weakness of old age

on the contrary everything generated is first imperfect but in the city of innocence children would have been begun by generation

on the contrary everything generated is first imperfect but in the state of innocence children would have been begotten by generation

therefore in the state of innocence there was no need for women to be born on the contrary nature's process in generation would have been in harmony with the manner in which it was established by god

therefore in the state of innocence men had no mastership of the animals

therefore in the state of innocence before man had disobeyed nothing disobeyed him that was naturally subject to him

secondly this is proved by the order of divine providence which always governs inferior things by the superior

certainly this is proved from a property of men and other animals

thirdly this is proved from a property of man and of other animals

they would not however on this account have been excepted from the mastership of man as neither at present are they for that reason excepted from the mastership of god whose providence has ordained all this

this is signified by the fact that god led the animals to man that he might give them names expressive of their respective natures

so all animals would have obeyed man of their own accord as in the present state some domestic animals obey him

objection one it would seem that in the state of innocence man would not have had mastership over all other creatures

much less therefore would it have obeyed man in the state of innocence

therefore since it is by his reason that man is competent to have mastership it seems that in the state of innocence man had no dominion over plants

now in man reason has the position of a master and not of a subject

i answer that we must needs admit that in the primitive state there would have been some inequality at least as regards sex because generation depends upon diversity of sex and likewise as regards age for some would have been born of others nor would sexual union have been sterile

inequality might also rise on the parts of nature as above described without any defect of nature

inequality might also arise on the part of nature as above described without any defect of nature

objection one it would seem that in the state of innocence man would not have been master over man

in another sense mastership is referred in a general sense to any kind of subject and in this sense even he who has the office of governing and directing free men can be called a master

such a kind of mastership would have existed in the state of innocence between man and man for two reasons

more than this he hath been heard to rail on you my lord who are now his judge

then the judge to sum up the case spoke thus you see this man who has made such a stir in our town

thus while one lost his life for the truth a new man rose from his death to tread the same way with christian

hopeful i had my fears from the first and so gave you a hint christian good friend i grieve that i have brought you out of the right path

then set during despair you have no right to force your wake in here the ground on which you lie is mine

then said giant despair you have no right to force your way in here the ground on which you lie is mine

he now went on till he came to the house at the door of which he was to knock this he did two or three times

i was told by the man that stands at the gate that if i came here you would show me good things that would help me

he stood as if he would plead for men and a crown of gold hung near his head

then you next saw the maid come in to lay the dust so is sin made clean and laid low by faith in the book

just as christian came up to the cross his load slid from his back close to the mouth of the tomb where it fell in and i saw it no more

as he stood thus and wept lo three bright ones came to him and one of them said peace be to thee thou hast grace from thy sins

christian gave three lips for joy and said as he went ah what a place is this blest crow's blast tomb

christian gave three leaps for joy and sang as he went ah what a place is this blest cross blest tomb

formalist and hypocrisy we were born in the land of vain glory and are on our way to mount zion for praise

know you not that he that comes not in at the door but climbs up to get in the same is a thief

they told christian that he had no need for care on that score for long use had made it law and they could prove that it had been so for years

now when christian got as far as the spring of life he drank of it and then went up the hill

now half way up was a cave made by the lord of that hill that those who came by might rest there

timorous said that zion was the hill they meant to climb but that when they had got half way they found that they met with more and more risk so that great fear came on them and all they could do was to turn back

yes said mistrust for just in front of us there lay two beasts of prey in our path we knew not if they slept or not but we thought that they would fall on us and tear our limbs

yet he thought once more of what he had heard from the men and then he felt in his cloak for his scroll that he might read it and find some peace

so he fell down on his knees to pray that god would give him grace for this act and then went back to look for his scroll

oh fool that i am said he to sleep in the day time so to give way to the flesh as to use for ease that rest which the lord of the hill had made but for the help of the soul

such was the lot of the jews for their sin they were sent back by the way of the red sea and i am made to tread those steps with grief which i might have trod with joy had it not been for this sleep

now by this time he had come to the vale once more where for a spell he sat down and wept but at last as he cast a sad glance at the foot of the bench he saw his scroll which he caught up with haste and put in his cloak

words are too weak to tell the joy of christian when he had got back his scroll

ah thought he these beasts range in the night for their prey and if they should meet with me in the dark how should i fly from them

the name of the man who kept the lodge of that house was watchful and when he saw that christian made a halt as if he would go back he came out to him and said is thy strength so small

fear not the two wild beasts for they are bound by chains and are put here to try the faith of those that have it and to find out those that have none

then i saw in my dream that still he went on in great dread of the wild beasts he heard them roar yet they did him no harm but when he had gone by them he went on with joy till he came and stood in front of the lodge where watchful dwelt

when watchful told her why christian had come there she said what is your name

then christian bent down his head and went with them to the house

piety come good christian since our love prompts us to take you in to rest let us talk with you of all that you have seen on your way

prudence and first say what is it that makes you wish so much to go to mount zion

thus did christian talk with these friends till it grew dark and then he took his rest in a large room the name of which was peace there he slept till break of day and then he sang a hymn

and they brought out the jaw bone of an ass with which samson did such great feats and the sling and stone with which david slew goliath of gath

it was a night when sorrow may come to the brightest without causing any great sense of incongruity when with impressible persons love becomes solicitousness hope sinks to misgiving and faith to hope when the exercise of memory does not stir feelings of regret at opportunities for ambition that have been passed by and anticipation does not prompt to enterprise

still to a close observer they are just as perceptible the difference is that their media of manifestation are less trite and familiar than such well known ones as the bursting of the buds or the fall of the leaf

if anything could be darker than the sky it was the wall and if any thing could be gloomier than the wall it was the river beneath

then a morsel of snow flew across the river towards the fifth window

the river would have been seen by day to be of that deep smooth sort which races middle and sides with the same gliding precision any irregularities of speed being immediately corrected by a small whirlpool

jocelyn thought it strange that he should be thrown by fate into a position to play the son of the montagues to this daughter of the capulets

no i shall go on and get a lodging in budmouth town if ever i reach it

he steadied her bodily by encircling her waist with his arm and she made no objection

by the aid of some temporary wraps and some slippers from the cupboard he was contriving to make himself comfortable when the maid servant came downstairs with a damp armful of woman's raiment

if they would put out their hands to him why should he refuse to put out his own

our tailor received him courteously having learned to like the man understanding that he had behaved with honesty and wisdom in regard to his client and respecting him as one of the workers of the day but he declared that for the lovel family as a family he did not care for them particularly

at present i think that the sense of the country is in favor of an aristocracy of birth

when you make much water boil mister thwaite some of it will probably boil over

he could not forget missus pine avon's eyes though he remembered nothing of her other facial details

afterwards they kept apart awhile in the drawing room for form's sake but eventually gravitated together again and finished the evening in each other's company

but somehow the very bell pull seemed cold although she had so earnestly asked him to come

raising her eyes in a slightly inquiring manner from the book she was reading she leant back in the chair as if soaking herself in luxurious sensations which had nothing to do with him and replied to his greeting with a few commonplace words

but jocelyn was receding from the pretty widow's house with long strides

lady iris had left the drawing room for a moment to see that all was right in the dining room and when he was shown in there stood alone in the lamplight nichola pine avon

the lady on joceliness left wife of a lord justice of appeal was in like manner talking to her companion on the outer side so that for the time he was left to himself

the lady on josson's left wife of a lord justice of appeal was in like manner talking to her companion on the outer side so that for the time he was left to himself

the lady on justin's left wife of a lord justice of appeal was in like manner talking to her companion on the outer side so that for the time he was left to himself

the lady on jocelyn's left wife of a lord justice of appeal was in like manner talking to her companion on the outer side so that for the time he was left to himself

it came from the wife of one of his father's former workmen and was concerning her son whom she begged jocelyn to recommend as candidate for some post in town that she wished him to fill

what is necessary to the completeness of the story at this stage is not to recapitulate but to take up some of the loose ends of threads woven in and follow them through until the clear and comprehensive picture of events can be seen

he can sometimes raise capital to help him in working out his crude conceptions but even then it is frequently done at a distressful cost of personal surrender

when the result is achieved the invention makes its appeal on the score of economy of material or of effort and then labor often awaits with crushing and tyrannical spirit to smash the apparatus or forbid its very use

possibly our national optism as reviewing the mention the seeking the higher good knits check

possibly our national optimism as revealed in invention the seeking a higher good needs some check

possibly the leaders would travel too fast and too far on the road to perfection if conservatism did not also play its salutary part in insisting that the procession move forward as a whole

on the contrary the conditions for its acceptance had been ripening fast

yet the very vogue of the electric arc light made harder the arrival of the incandescent

a number of parent arc lighting companies were in existence and a great many local companies had been called into being under franchises for commercial business and to execute regular city contracts for street lighting

thus in a curious manner the modern art of electric lighting was in a very true sense divided against itself with intense rivalries and jealousies which were none the less real because they were but temporary and occurred in a field where ultimate union of forces was inevitable

hence twenty years after the first edison stations were established the methods they involved could be fairly credited with no less than sixty seven per cent

it will be readily understood that under these conditions the modern lighting company supplies to its customers both incandescent and arc lighting frequently from the same dynamo electric machinery as a source of current and that the old feud as between the rival systems has died out

in fact for some years past the presidents of the national electric light association have been chosen almost exclusively from among the managers of the great edison lighting companies in the leading cities

the gas manager did not like the arc light but it interfered only with his street service which was not his largest source of income by any means

here again was given a most convincing demonstration of the truth that such an addition to the resources of mankind always carries with it unsuspected benefits even for its enemies

this was not long nor universally the spirit shown and to day in hundreds of cities the electric and gas properties are united under the one management which does not find it impossible to push in a friendly and progressive way the use of both illuminants

but it may be questioned whether inertia is not equally to be dreaded with active ill will

of course a great many accounts were written and read but while genuine interest was aroused it was necessarily apathetic

we got it at a great bargain and only paid a small sum down and the balance on mortgage

were sailed them for forty cents but they were only about twenty or thirty thousands of them

we sold them for forty cents but there were only about twenty or thirty thousand of them

the fourth year i got it down to thirty seven cents and i made all the money up in one year that i had lost previously

one of the incidents which caused a very great cheapening was that when we started one of the important processes had to be done by experts

incidentally it may be noted as illustrative of the problems brought to edison that while he had the factory at harrison an importer in the chinese trade went to him and wanted a dynamo to be run by hand power

for making the dynamos edison secured as noted in the preceding chapter the roach iron works on goerck street new york and this was also equipped

to sigmund bergmann who had worked previously with edison on telephone apparatus and phonographs and was already making edison specialties in a small way in a loft on wooster street new york was assigned the task of constructing sockets fixtures meters safety fuses and numerous other details

in the early part of eighteen eighty one the edison electric light company leased the old bishop mansion at sixty five fifth avenue close to fourteenth street for its headquarters and show rooms

one day it was not going very well and i went down to the man in charge and got exploring around

for the next four or five years sixty five was a veritable beehive day and night

the routine was very much the same as that at the laboratory in its arnaclot of the clerk

the routine was very much the same as that at the laboratory in its autonace of the clerk

the routine was very much the same as that at the laboratory in its arnaclight of the clerk

the routine was very much the same as that at the laboratory in its utter neglect of the clock

i was telling a gentleman one day that i could not keep a cigar even if i locked them up in my desk they would break it open

he said he would have some of them made up with hair and old paper and i could put them in without a word and see the result

speaking of those days or nights edison says years ago one of the great violinists was remenyi

after that every time he came to new york he used to call at sixty five late at night with his violin

another visitor who used to give us a good deal of amusement and pleasure was captain shaw the head of the london fire brigade

speaking of telling stories i once got telling a man stories at the harrison lamp factory in the yard as he was leaving

it had merely enjoyed the delights of anxious anticipation and the perilous pleasure of backing edison's experiments

they say best men are molded out of faults and for the most become much more the better for being a little bad

standing on a broken column of the old steeple three hundred feet above primrose hill william struck an attitude of theatrical fashion and uttered the following oratorical flight

sad how sad to think that the day will come when not a vestige of this wonderful mass of human energy shall remain where the cry of the wolf bat and bittern shall only be heard and nature again resume her rustic splendid desolation

the devil's tavern was a resort for actors authors bohemians lords and ladies who did not retire early to their downy couches

william and myself soon found rest in deep slumber and wafted away into a dreamless realm our tired bodies lay in the enfolding arms of morpheus until the porter knocked at our door the next morning as the clock of the tower struck the hour of nine

our first sight of sunrise in london gave us great expectations of fame and fortune for surely all we had was glowing expectations

oft expectation fowls and most of there were most a promises and oft a hits where hope is coldest and despair most fit

oft expectation fails and most oft there where most it promises and oft it hits where hope is coldest and despair most fits

william to the great amazement of the dealer flung a guinea in the center pot which was immediately tapped by jack while the others looked on in silent expectation

i have sent my life upon the cast i will stand the hazard of the dye

i have set my life upon a cast and will stand the hazard of the die

i immediately followed in his footsteps and found him joking with the landlady about a couple of infant bull pups she was fondling in her capacious lap

if he had dropped out of the clouds william could not have been more pleased or surprised and the feeling was reciprocal

the preening shop affair was owing a short distance from the devout haven and we were invited to visit the establishment

the printing shop of field was only a short distance from the devil's tavern and we were invited to visit the establishment

james burbage gazed for a moment on the manly form of william and blurted out in his bluff manner what do you know

the old porter was there directing and scolding the servants as they piled the rugs and blankets and bags of food and pots and pans and dishes into the wagon

behind it came the grandmother in her dhoolie dak a sort of a litter or easy chair swung between two long poles

good bye shouted little nao from his garden wall as they went by good bye

they shouted greetings to their friend the potter as they passed him and also to the old fakir smeared all over with ashes who sat in a little brick hut by the bridge and pretended to make wonderful cures

this is more fun than going to school said chola as the oxen plodded along through clouds of dust

as the wagon came up a young man who accompanied the holy man ran up and held out a begging bowl saying give oh charitable people to this holy one

perhaps there are dogs said mahala a little fearfully but they forgot about dogs when they saw a thicket of sugar cane down by a stream

perhaps we can buy some from the man there he is now ploughing by the stream said chola

it is looking for water said the farmer as he took a long stalk of cane and gently guided it down to the stream

the snake is another sacred animal of the hindus and they would not kill or injure one for anything

as they were about to move on again they saw a great cloud of dust down the road

it turned out that it was a great and powerful rajah going in state on a journey to visit another rajah or ruler of one of the small kingdoms or states of which modern india was formerly made up

on the elephant's back was a howdah which is like a big chair with a canopy over it and in this sitting cross legged was the rajah a big fat fellow dressed in coloured silks and jewels with a great diamond set plume in his turban

behind the howdah stood a servant holding a big umbrella of fine feathers over the rajah's head

the driver sat on the neck of the elephant and guided the big beast by prowding him on one side or the other with an iron short stick or gold

the driver sat on the neck of the elephant and guided the big beast by prowding him on one side or the other with an iron shot stick or gold

the driver sat on the neck of the elephant and guided the big beast by prodding him on one side or the other with an iron shod stick or goad

and all the rest of the day the little folk talked of nothing but the great rajah and his escort

our party came to a halt among many other bullock carts the owners of which were already sitting around on the ground cooking their suppers or bargaining for food at the little booths

as supper was being eaten another party stopped at the parao and camped not far away

around the little brahmin's neck was a thin cord or thread which was the sign of his high caste

meanwhile the haughty little brahmin ate his supper with his head turned away so no one could see him eat and then growing tired of respectful glances of the crowd around him he got into his litter again and the servants fastened the curtains tightly around him

the lattices were rise to sosia and her mother and aunt could enjoy the fresh air

the lattices were raised so shriya and her mother and aunt could enjoy the fresh air

they are my dolls said the little girl sadly as she patted the bundle beside her

the days glided by with the stiffness in chris lee's limbs growing less painful and the pony recovering fast for the clear mountain air seemed to act like a cure for wounds

its efforts to move no longer made chris wince and forget his own pains in those he felt at seeing the mustang suffer

every one was busy for the keeping watch regularly took up a good deal of time

it's all nonsense ned cried chris for them to think they are staying on account of us hullo griggs were you listening

just halted a little on the bad leg but it's better than it was yesterday

we shall get strong more quickly journeying over the plains or climbing in and out among the mountains

we couldn't see em but if we'd made a start they'd have been close upon our heels directly

yes that's right if it can be done but it would go hard with us all if the indians gave up the bait of the trap and turned upon those who set it

there are always too many redskins about cried chris impatiently

not quite my lads don't you see that we're playing a very ticklish game

just then the doctor came into the shelter where the boys had been talking bringing with him wilton who had been shooting or rather trying to shoot for he had had no success and they too were talking earnestly about ways and means

the indians have shifted their quarters and they're in about as awkward a position as they could contrive for our purpose

they seem to me to be hatching up some dodge or another replied griggs

provisions can be packed in our wallets in fact everything held ready for a start

but before any more is said griggs i want to offer you the opportunity to draw back

i mean to do a bit to carry out young chris's plan and shut up the redskins for a week or two perhaps a month while we get right away

ejaculated griggs so sharply that the boys started serve em right if they did sir

here there is an arm of the sea which is crossed in ferry boats that start as soon as some twenty or thirty passengers are gathered together and in one of these boats the two travellers embarked

when he saw this the ronin feigned the utmost grief and dismay and said to his fellow passengers this priest whom we have just lost was my cousin he was going to kiyoto to visit the shrine of his patron and as i happened to have business there as well we settled to travel together

he spoke so feelingly and wept so freely that the passengers believed his story and pitied and tried to comfort him

they of course were only too glad to avoid any hindrance to their onward journey and all with one voice agreed to what the ronin had proposed and so the matter was settled

when at length they reached the shore they left the boat and every man went his way but the ronin overjoyed in his heart took the wandering priest's luggage and putting it with his own pursued his journey to kiyoto

fortune favouring his speculations he began to amass great wealth and lived at his ease denying himself nothing and in course of time he married a wife who bore him a child

at length undone by such ceaseless vexation tokubei fell ill and kept muttering oh misery misery the wandering priest is coming to torture me

be of good cheer now and look me in the face and you will see that i am really a living man and no vengeful goblin come to torment you

after this matter has been settled and the house is fairly begun there are occasional crises in its construction upon which much depends

a present of money to each workman is also in order and will conduce to the rapid and faithful execution of the job in hand when at last the house is finished and carpenters and plasterers are ready to leave it the local firemen who have assisted all along in the building as unskilled laborers often ascend to the roof and from the ridge pole cast down cakes for which the children of the neighborhood scramble joyfully

on the day after the death often in the evening the body must be placed in the cask shaped coffin that until recently was the style commonly in use in japan

now among the wealthier classes the long coffin has superseded the small square or round one but the smaller expense connected with burial in the old way makes the survival of the old type a necessity for the majority of japanese

when the body has been washed it is dressed in white in silk habutai whenever the family can afford it

the body to be placed in the coffin must be folded into a sitting posture the chin resting upon the knees the position of the mummies found in many aboriginal american tombs

the single exception to this rule about metal is that small copper coins may be put in to fee the old hag who guards the bank of the river of death

the minutes passed by is seeming like an hour to the unfortunate lily maine

the minutes passed by each seeming an hour to the unfortunate lily maid

her imagination began to suggest all manner of gruesome possibilities to her

we were playing elaine explained anne frigidly without even looking at her rescuer and i had to drift down to camelot in the barge i mean the flat

her resentment which to other and older people might be as laughable as its cause was in no whit allayed and softened by time seemingly

in the month of agrahyen canthia had gone out shooting near the swamp of nidih with a few sporting companions

in the month of agrahayan kanti had gone out shooting near the swamp of nydighi with a few sporting companions

one morning as canthy was seated in his port cleaning a favourite gun he suddenly started at what he thought was the cry of wild looking up he saw a village maiden coming to the water's edge with two white tucklings clasped to her pressed

one morning as kanti was seated in his boat cleaning a favourite gun he suddenly started at what he thought was the cry of wild duck looking up he saw a village maiden coming to the water's edge with two white ducklings clasped to her breast

looking round kanti saw one of his men pointing an unloaded gun at the ducks

after kanti had eaten and drunk the brahmin begged him to introduce himself kanti gave his own name his father's name and the address of his home and then said in the usual way if i can be of any service sir i shall deem myself fortunate

the brick built mansion of the mazumdars had been borrowed for the wedding ceremony which was fixed for next magh as kanti did not wish to delay

in due time the bridegroom arrived on his elephant with drums and music and with a torchlight procession and the ceremony began

i was tormented by thirst but had abstained from drinking for many days according to the doctors orders

accordingly she allowed me twice to take as much as i could of the water so that in good earnest i swallowed more than a flask full one i then covered myself and began to sweat and fell into a deep sleep

they say that my poor friend was on the point of falling to the ground so grieved was he to hear this

afterwards he took an ugly stick and began to beat the serving girl with all his might shouting out ah traitress you have killed him for me then

she may indeed have saved my life so lend me a helping hand for i have sweated and be quick about it

felice recovered his spirits dried and made me comfortable and i being conscious of a great improvement in my state began to reckon on recovery

that simpleton maestro bernardino made answer saying if he had drunk another bottle he would have been cured upon the spot

then he turned to me and said my benvenuto be prudent commit no excesses and when you are quite recovered i beg you to make me a madonna with your own hand and i will always pay my devotions to it for your sake

that day many friends came to see me among others pier landi who was the best and dearest friend i ever had

next day there came a certain niccolo da monte aguto who was also a very great friend of mine

meanwhile that able physician francesco da monte varchi attended to my cure with great skill

at these words maestro agostino the dukes tailor made his way through all those gentlemen and said if that is all you want to know you shall know it at this very moment

giorgio the painter whom i have mentioned happened just then to pass and maestro agostino exclaimed there is the man who accused you now you know yourself if it be true or not

as fiercely as i could not being able to leave my seat i asked giorgio if it was true that he had accused me

he denied that it was so and that he had ever said anything of the sort

giorgio made off as quickly as he could repeating that he had not accused me

when i reached home niccolo da monte aguto came to visit me and told me that i had escaped one of the most dreadful perils in the world quite contrary to all his expectations for he had seen my ruin written with indelible ink now i must make haste to get well and afterwards take french leave because my jeopardy came from a quarter and a man who was able to destroy me

he repeated get hence as quickly as you can and be of good courage for you will see your vengeance executed sooner than you expect

i the best attention to my health gave pietro pagolo advice about stamping the coins and then went off upon my way to rome without saying a word to the duke or anybody else

messer francesco used also to say and swear by all his saints that if he could he would have robbed me of the dies for that medal

i now sent to florence to request lorenzino that he would send me the reverse of the medal

niccolo da monte aguto to whom i had written wrote back saying that he had spoken to that mad melancholy philosopher lorenzino for it he had replied that he was thinking night and day of nothing else and that he would finish it as soon as he was able

nevertheless i was not to set my hopes upon his reverse but i had better invent one out of my own head and when i had finished it i might bring it without hesitation to the duke for this would be to my advantage

there was no answer and after one or two ineffectual attempts phronsie turned fearfully away

the meeting was tender it glowed with the spirit's presence it was alive with strong and lasting resolve to begin a war on the whiskey power in raymond that would break its reign forever

and all through it ran one general cry for deliverance from the saloon and its awful curse

gray and his wife were besieged by inquirers who wanted to know what loreen's friends and acquaintances were expected to do in paying their last respects to her

i am and always have been opposed to large public funerals said gray whose complete wholesome simplicity of character was one of its great sources of strength but the cry of the poor creatures who knew loreen is so earnest that i do not know how to refuse this desire to see her and pay her poor body some last little honor what do you think mister maxwell

it happened that that afternoon a somewhat noted newspaper correspondent was passing through raymond on his way to an editorial convention in a neighbouring city

if you really must have all those miles of tablecloths and napkins and doilies and lace rufflings we'll do it afterwards not before but

in my recent travels in the west i have felt that out there freedom as an idea has become feeble and ineffectual

thus it has become more and more evident to me that the ideal of freedom has grown tenuous in the atmosphere of the west

the great epic of the soul of our people the mahabharata gives us a wonderful vision of an overflowing life full of the freedom of inquiry and experiment

when the age of the buddha came humanity was stirred in our country to its uttermost depth

the organic unity of a varied and elastic society gave way to a conventional order which proved its artificial character by its inexorable law of exclusion

by squeezing human beings in the grip of an inelastic system and forcibly holding them fixed we have ignored the laws of life and growth

we have forced living souls into a permanent passivity making them incapable of moulding circumstance to their own intrinsic design and of mastering their own destiny

our stupefaction has become so absolute that we do not even realise that this persistent misfortune dogging our steps for ages cannot be a mere accident of history removable only by another accident from outside

they will be incapable of holding a just freedom in politics and a fighting and freedom scores

they will be incapable of holding a just freedom in politics and of fighting in freedom's cause

it is at the foot of woman that we lay the laurels that without her smile would never have been gained it is her image that strings the lyre of the poet that animates our voice in the blaze of eloquent faction and guides our brain in the august toils of stately councils

it makes the heart ache but to picture such vicissitudes to the imagination

the knowledge that such changes can occur flits over the mind like the thought of death obscuring all our gay fancies with its bat like wing and tainting the healthy atmosphere of our happiness with its venomous expirations

do not be angry with your henrietta but i am nervous about concealing our engagement from papa

on the pratzen heights where he had fallen with the flagstaff in his hand lay prince andrew bolkonski bleeding profusely and unconsciously uttering a gentle piteous and childlike moan

he feebly moved his leg and uttered a weak sickly groan which aroused his own pity

prince andrew remembered nothing more he lost consciousness from the terrible pain of being lifted out to the stretcher the jolting while being moved and the probing of his wound at the dressing station

prince andrew remembered nothing more he lost consciousness from the terrible pain of being lifted onto the stretcher the jolting while being moved and the probing of his wound at the dressing station

youth has no hindrance to courage muttered suctel in a failing voice

youth is no hindrance to courage muttered sukhtelen in a failing voice

the soldiers who had carried prince andrew had noticed and taken the little gold icon princess mary had hung round her brother's neck but seeing the favor the emperor showed the prisoners they now hastened to return the holy image

how good it would be to know where to seek for help in this life and what to expect after it beyond the grave

the quiet home life and peaceful happiness of bald hills presented itself to him

he is a nervous bilious subject said larrey and will not recover

we entered the first restaurant that of the reunited friends you know it perhaps monsieur

i suspected nothing when he brought out his pocketbook it was stuffed full monsieur i saw that and my confidence increased called for the reckoning and paid with an italian bank note

it was only now at the eleventh hour that the italian had become inculpated and the question of his possible anxiety to escape had never been considered

hand it me said the chief and when it came into his hands he began to turn over the leaves hurriedly

of course such a consummate ass as you have proved yourself would not think of searching the restaurant or the immediate neighbourhood or of making inquiries as to whether he had been seen or as to which way he had gone

it was a note for a hundred lire a hundred francs and the restaurant bill was no more than seventeen francs hah

directly he crossed the threshold he called the first cab and was driving away but he was stopped the devil

but this thy host so wide dispread wakes in my heart one doubt and dread lest threatening rama good and great ill thoughts thy journey stimulate

no thought but this thy heart should frame this simple truth my lips proclaim

as guha thus and bharat each to other spoke in friendly speech the day god sank with glory dead and night o'er all the sky was spread

soon as king who has thoughtful care had courted all the army dare well honoured but laid his head beside satruna on a bed

soon as king guha's thoughtful care had quartered all the army there well honoured bharat laid his head beside satrughna on a bed

thus sighing and distressed in misery and bitter grief with fevered heart that mocked relief distracted in his mind the chief still mourned and found no rest

rest duteous minded i will keep my watch while rama lies asleep for in the whole wide world is none dearer to me than raghu's son

harbour no doubt or jealous fear i speak the truth with heart sincere for from the grace which he has shown will glory on my name be thrown great store of merit shall i gain and duteous form no wish in vain

let me enforced by many a row of followers armed with shaft and bow for well loved rama's weal provide who lies asleep by sita's side

with words like these i spoke designed to move the high souled bharat's mind but he upon his duty bent plied his persuasive argument o how can slumber close mine eyes when lowly couched with sita lies the royal rama

he whom no mighty demon know nor heavenly god can overtrow see guha how he lies alas with cita couched on gathered grass

he whom no mighty demon no nor heavenly god can overthrow see guha how he lies alas with sita couched on gathered grass

now as his son is forced to fly the king ere long will surely die reft of his guardian hand forlorn in widowed grief this land will mourn

but ah for sad kausalya how fare she and mine own mother now how fares the king

with hopes upon satrughna set my mother may survive as yet but the sad queen will die who bore the hero for her grief is sore

when fate has brought the mournful day which sees my father pass away how happy in their lives are they allowed his funeral rites to pay

thus bharat stood with many a sigh lamenting and the night went by

when guha saw the long armed chief whose eye was like a lotus leaf with lion shoulders strong and fair high mettled prostrate in despair pale bitterly afflicted he reeled as in earthquake reels a tree

kausalya by her woe oppressed the senseless bharat's limbs caressed as a fond cow in love and fear caresses oft her youngling dear then yielding to her woe she said weeping and sore disquieted what torments o my son are these of sudden pain or swift disease

the lives of us and all the line depend dear child on only thine

ra my luxman force to flee i lead by nought but seeing thee for as the king has passed away thou art my only help to day

rama and lakshman forced to flee i live by naught but seeing thee for as the king has past away thou art my only help to day

then calm and still absorbed in thought he drank the water lakshman brought and then obedient to his vows he fasted with his gentle spouse

here stands the tree which lent them shade here is the grass beneath it laid where rama and his consort spent the night together ere they went

each morn and eve he brought me food and filial care my life reneered

each morn and eve he brought me food and filial care my life renewed

swift to the south his course he bent and cleft the yielding element

the holy spirits of the air came round me as i marvelled there and cried as their bright lygians mad jose is cita living yet

the holy spirits of the air came round me as i marvelled there and cried as their bright lygians mad jose is sital living yet

the holy spirits of the air came round me as i marvelled there and cried as their bright lygians mad jose is sitar living yet

the holy spirits of the air came round me as i marvelled there and cried as their bright legions met o say is sita living yet

thus cried the saints and told the name of him who held the struggling dame

then from the flood sampati paid due offerings to his brother's shade

seven nights in deadly swoon i passed but struggling life returned at last

around i bent my wondering view but every spot was strange and new

here thou with hospitable care hast fed us with the noblest fare preserving us about to die with this thy plentiful supply

then spake again the vanar chief we came to thee and found relief

once more then lady grant release and let thy suppliants go in peace again upon their errand sped for king sugriva's ire we dread

and heard his waters roar and rave terrific with each crested wave

the month is lost in toil and pain and now my friends what hopes remain

your hearts with strong affection fraught his weal in every labour sought and the true valour of your band was blazoned wide in every land

come let us all from food abstain and perish thus since hope is vain

far better does to end our lives and leave our wealth our homes and wives leave our dear little ones and all than by his vent full hand to fall

far better thus to end our lives and leave our wealth our homes and wives leave our dear little ones and all than by his vengeful hand to fall

our forfeit lives will surely pay for idle search and long delay and our fierce king will bid us die the favour of his friend to buy

then tara softly spake to cheer the vanars hearts oppressed by fear despair no more your doubts dispel come in this ample cavern dwell

but lakshman's arm a shower will send of deadly shafts those walls to rend

thy loving kinsman true and wise looks on thee still with favouring eyes

he heard the prince's furious tread he saw his eyes glow fiercely red

swift sprang the monarch to his feet obstarding from his golden seat

swift sprang the monarch to his feet upstarting from his golden seat

ungrateful vanar king art thou and faithless to thy plighted vow

now if thy pride disown what he high thoughted prince has done for thee struck by his arrows shalt thou fall and bali meet in yama's hall

then to thy plighted word be true nor let thy steps that path pursue

he ceased and tara starry eyed thus to the angry prince replied not to my lord shouldst thou address a speech so fraught with bitterness not thus reproached my lord should be and least of all o prince by thee

from paths of truth he never strays nor wanders in forbidden ways

ne'er will sugriva's heart forget by rama saved the lasting debt

restored to fame by rama's grace to empire o'er the bana rays from ceaseless dread and toil set free restored to rumour and to me by grief and care and exile tried kneel to the bliss so long did night like vishamitra once allows he marks not how the seasons pass

restored to fame by rama's grace to empire o'er the vanar race from ceaseless dread and toil set free restored to ruma and to me by grief and care and exile tried new to the bliss so long denied like visvamitra once alas he marks not how the seasons pass

the mattrance of the wana rays see marks of fury in dives they see dying eyes like blood are red and will not yet become fottered

the mattrance of the vana rays see marks of fury in dives they see dying eyes like blood are red and will not yet become fottered

the matrons of the vanar race see marks of fury in thy face they see thine eyes like blood are red and will not yet be comforted

so tara's pleading just and mild his softening heart had reconciled

so strong art thou so brave and bold so pure in thought so humble souled that thou deservest well to reign and all a monarch's bliss to gain

lend thou my brother aid and all his foes beneath his arm will fall

whatever hand it was that shot down bourbon rome after his death was plundered devastated and ravaged by a brutal greedy licentious and fanatical soldiery

wherefore for the future write us nothing at all but appoint us the time and place of meeting and we will bring our sword for you to cross protesting that the shame of any delay in fighting shall be yours seeing that when it comes to an encounter there is an end of all writing

after their marriage there was nothing in the manner of sergey modestovich to suggest anything wrong to his wife

later however when his wife was about to have a child sergey modestovich established connexions elsewhere of a light and temporary nature

serafima aleksandrovna found this out and to her own astonishment was not particularly hurt she awaited her infant with a restless anticipation that swallowed every other feeling

serafima aleksandrovna drifted farther and farther away from him

lelechka then ran away stamping with her plump little legs over the carpets and hid herself behind the curtains near her bed

where is my baby girl the mother asked as she looked for lolechka and made believe that she did not see her

where is my baby girl the mother asked as she looked for lelechka and made believe that she did not see her

then she came out a little farther and her mother as though she had only just caught sight of her seized her by her little shoulders and exclaimed joyously here she is my lelechka

lelechka turned away as though not to see but watched her mammochka stealthily all the time

leletchka turned away as though not to see but watched her macha stealthily all the time

leletchka turned away as though not to see but watched her matchas stealthily all the time

leletchka turned away as though not to see but watched her matches stealthily all the time

lelechka turned away as though not to see but watched her matchas stealthily all the time

littlecha turned away as though not to see but watched her macha stealthily all the time

littlecha turned away as though not to see but watched her matchas stealthily all the time

lelechka turned away as though not to see but watched her mamochka stealthily all the time

lelechka suddenly glanced toward her mother's corner and screamed with joy

he liked coming here where everything was beautifully arranged this was done by serafima aleksandrovna who wished to surround her little girl from her very infancy only with the loveliest things

seraphima alexandrovna dressed herself tastefully this too she did for lachka with the same end in view

serafima aleksandrovna dressed herself tastefully this too she did for lelechka with the same end in view

one thing sergey modestovich had not become reconciled to and this was his wife's almost continuous presence in the nursery

merely you see that the child should feel its own individuality he explained in answer to serafima aleksandrovna's puzzled glance

i'll think it over his wife answered smiling as he did coldly but genially

yes that's bad repeated agathya with conviction terribly bad well

it's the truth i'm saying remember my words agathya went on with the same assurance and secrecy

what is it phidosia she asked with great concern is there anything wrong with luletka

what is it fedosya she asked with great concern is there anything wrong with lelechka

no madam said fedosya as she gesticulated with her hands to reassure her mistress and to make her sit down

only i'd like to say something you see lelechka is always hiding herself that's not good

i can't tell you how bad it is said phideosia and her face expressed the most decided confidence

i can't tell you how bad it is said fedosya and her face expressed the most decided confidence

you see madam it's a kind of omen explained fedosya abruptly in a shamefaced way

who told you all this asked serafima aleksandrovna in an austere low voice

knows exclaimed serafima aleksandrovna in irritation as though she wished to protect herself somehow from this sudden anxiety

she saw clearly that there could be no possible connexion between a child's quite ordinary diversion and the continuation of the child's life

she made a special effort that evening to occupy her mind with other matters but her thoughts returned involuntarily to the fact that lelechka loved to hide herself

when lelechka was still quite small and had learned to distinguish between her mother and her nurse she sometimes sitting in her nurse's arms made a sudden roguish grimace and hid her laughing face in the nurse's shoulder

though she reproached herself at once for this unfounded superstitious dread nevertheless she could not enter wholeheartedly into the spirit of lelechka's favourite game and she tried to divert lelechka's attention to something else

perhaps thought sarafo alexandrovna she is not as strongly drawn to the world as other children who are attracted by many things

perhaps thought sarafia alexandrovna she is not as strongly drawn to the world as other children who are attracted by many things

perhaps thought serafima aleksandrovna she is not as strongly drawn to the world as other children who are attracted by many things

serafima aleksandrovna herself began the game once or twice though she played it with a heavy heart

lelechka drew her sweet little hands from under the blanket and stretched them out to embrace her mother her mother bent down

sara female alexandrovna remained standing over lechka's bed a long while and she kept looking at lechka with tenderness and fear

serafima aleksandrovna remained standing over lelechka's bed a long while and she kept looking at lelechka with tenderness and fear

i'm a mother is it possible that i shouldn't be able to protect her she thought as she imagined the various ills that might be follow

i'm a mother is it possible that i shouldn't be able to protect her she thought as she imagined the various ills that might befall lelechka

when serafima aleksandrovna awakened by fedosya came to lelechka and saw her looking so hot so restless and so tormented she instantly recalled the evil omen and a hopeless despair took possession of her from the first moments

nothing made her so unhappy as the reiterations of phidosia uttered between sobs she hid herself and hid herself our lelechka

nothing made her so unhappy as the reiterations of fedosya uttered between sobs she hid herself and hid herself our lelechka

fever was consuming lelechka and there were times when she lost consciousness and spoke in delirium

serafima aleksandrovna hid her face behind the curtains near lelechka's bed how tragic

mamotchka's white face became blurred and everything grew dark before leletka

momochka's white face became blurred and everything grew dark before leletka

mamochka's white face became blurred and everything grew dark before lelechka

sarafia alexandrovna was standing by the coffin and looking dully at her dead child

serafima aicksandrovna was standing by the coffin and looking dully at her dead child

sima my dear don't agitate yourself said sergey modestovich in a whisper

she'll be up in a minute persisted serafima aleksandrovna her eyes fixed on the dead little girl

sergey modestovich looked round him cautiously he was afraid of the unseemly and of the ridiculous

she went into the nursery and began to walk round the room looking into those places where loledka used to hide herself

she went into the nursery and began to walk round the room looking into those places where lelechka used to hide herself

she walked all about the room and bent now and then to look under the table or under the bed and kept on repeating cheerfully where is my little one where is my lelechka

after she had walked round the room once she began to make her quest anew

fedosya motionless with dejected face sat in a corner and looked frightened at her mistress then she suddenly burst out sobbing and she wailed loudly

she hid herself and hid herself our lelechka our angelic little soul

when she entered the parlour there were several people between her and laluchka

there was an oppressive feeling of heaviness in serafima aleksandrovna's head as she approached lelechka

serafima aleksandrovna stood up erect sighed in a lost way smiled and called loudly lelechka

we had every sort of people with us off and on and as i was lookout at a popular game i saw them all

then i scouted to see what had cut me and found that the fellow had lost a hand

sour wine is fine to put a wound in shape to heal but it's no soothing syrup

their coffin was their ship and their grave it was the sea blow high blow low what care we and the quarter that we gave them was to sink them in the sea down on the coast of the high barbaree

it fair made my hair rise to hear him with the big still solemn desert outside and the quiet moonlight and the shadows and him sitting up straight and gaunt his eyes blazing each side his big eagle nose and his snaky hair hanging over the raw cut across his head

then again he'd sing that barbaree song until i'd go out and look at the old colorado flowing by just to be sure i hadn't died and gone below or else he'd just talk

usually i didn't bother with his talk for it didn't mean anything but something in his voice made me turn

he looked at me mighty suspicious but didn't say anything more he wouldn't even answer when i spoke to him

guess he suspicions i stole that old coat of his thinks i and afterwards i found that my surmise had been correct

anyway i thrust the muzzle of my colt's into the sailor's face what's this i asked

during the next two months he was a good deal about town mostly doing odd jobs i saw him off and on

however i didn't pay much attention to that being at the time almighty busy holding down my card games

and it's a big thing said handy solomon to me for they's not only gold but altar jewels and diamonds

didn't you save my life and nuss me and take care of me when i was nigh killed

look here anderson or handy solomon or whatever you please to call yourself i rejoined to this if you're going to do business with me and i do not understand yet just what it is you want of me you'll have to talk straight

the devil's a preacher if you ain't lost your pinfeathers said he

it's money i got to have and it's money i haven't got an can't get unless i let somebody in his partner

it's money i got to have and it's money i haven't got and can't get unless i let somebody in as pardner

he strongly opposed this as depreciating the shares but i had no intention of going alone into what was then considered a wild and dangerous country finally we compromised

but since there existed for us no responsibility we each reported dutifully at the roll call of habit and dropped back into our blankets with a grateful sigh

i remember the moon sailing a good gait among apparently stationary cloudlets i recall a deep black shadow lying before distant silvery mountains i glanced over the stark motionless canvases each of which concealed a man the air trembled with the bellowing of cattle in the corrals

three were to care for the remuda five were to move the stray herd from the corrals to good feed three branding crews were told to brand the calves we had collected in the cut of the afternoon before that took up about half the men

we were the only ones who did go afoot however although the corrals were not more than two hundred yards distant

one stood waiting for them to finish a sheaf of long j h stamping irons in his hand

all the rest squatted on their heels along the fence smoking cigarettes and chatting together

the first rays of the sun slanted across in one great sweep from the remote mountains

homer wrapped the rope twice or thrice about the horn and sat over in one stirrup to avoid the tightened line and to preserve the balance

the brand showed cherry which is the proper colour to indicate due peeling and a successful mark

it seems to me that a great deal of unnecessary twaddle is abroad as to the extreme cruelty of branding

undoubtedly it is to some extent painful and could some other method of ready identification be devised it might be as well to adopt it in preference

imagine a puncher descending to examine politely the ear tags of wild cattle on the open range or in a round up

a calf usually bellows when the iron bites but as soon as released he almost invariably goes to feeding are to look unily about

a calf usually bellows when the iron bites but as soon as released he almost invariably goes to feeding are to look unidly about

a calf usually bellows when the iron bites but as soon as released he almost invariably goes to feedin are to look unily about

a calf usually bellows when the iron bites but as soon as released he almost invariably goes to feeding or to looking idly about

besides which it happens but once in a lifetime and is over in ten seconds a comfort denied to those of us who have our teeth filled

and then of course there was the gorgeous contrast between all this frantic and uncomprehending excitement and the absolute matter of fact imperturbability of horse and rider

as he knew his business and as the calf was a small one the little beast went over promptly bit the ground with a whack and was pounced upon and held

he would catch himself on one foot scramble vigorously and end by struggling back to the upright

when the nooses fell they turned and walked toward the fire as a matter of course rarely did the cast fail

if luck attended his first effort his sarcasm was profound there's yore little calf said he

would you like to have me tote it to you or do you reckon you could toddle this far with yore little old iron

finally homer rode over to the cattleman and reported the branding finished

he was in a fevered state of mind owing to the blight his wife's action threatened to cast upon his entire future

he would have to pay her the money which she would now regularly demand or there would be trouble it did not matter what he did

hurstwood walked the floor mentally arranging the chief points of his situation

many little wrinkles gathered between his eyes as he contemplated this and his brow moistened

he could arrange that satisfactorily for carey would be glad to wait if necessary

he would see how things turned out to morrow and then he would talk to her they were going to meet as usual

for some reason he felt as if something might come that way and was relieved when all the envelopes had been scanned and nothing suspicious noticed

while the danger had not lessened it had not as yet materialized and with him no news was good news

so little did he consider drua that it never once occurred to him to worry about his finding out

he grew restless as he ruminated and then decided that perhaps it was nothing

he would get one to day it would probably be on his desk when he got back he would look for it at once

after a time he gave up waiting and drearily headed for the madison car

he went in and examined his letters but there was nothing from carey

at one thirty he went to rector's for lunch and when he returned a messenger was waiting for him

his first impulse was to write but four words in reply go to the devil

but he compromised by telling the boy that there would be no reply

then he sat down in his chair and gazed without seeing contemplating the result of his work

something had to be done a climax was near and she would not sit idle

he knew her well enough to know that when she had decided upon a plan she would follow it up

the long drizzle had begun pedestrians had turned up collars and trousers at the bottom

hurstwood almost exclaimed out loud at the insistency of this thing

he began to wish that he had compromised in some way or other that he had sent the money perhaps he could do it up here

by the time he reached his own street he was keenly alive to the difficulties of his situation and wished over and over that some solution would offer itself that he could see his way out

when hurstwood got back to his office again he was in a greater quandary than ever

no letter had come no word of any kind and yet here it was late in the evening and she had agreed to meet him that morning

he saw that in the excitement of recent events he had not formulated a plan upon that score

he was getting some vague comfort out of a good cigar but it was no panacia for the ill which affected him

it was with great opposition after two or three hours of the most urgent mental affirmation and denial that at last he got an envelope placed in it the requested amount and slowly sealed it up

you take this to this address he said handing him the envelope and give it to missus hurstwood yes sir said the boy

he was beaten for to night and he might just as well make the best of it

for relief he arose and joined in the conversation with a few friends he were drinking

all the time his thoughts would run out to his home and see the scene being thereon enacted

he fancied as he sat at his desk that nothing would be done for a week or two meanwhile he would have time to think

how about that now his pain at her failure to meet or write him rapidly increased as he devoted himself to the subject

he decided to write her care of the west side post office and ask for an explanation as well as to have her meet him

the helpless manager paced the floor and grimly endured the gloom of defeat

he saw a busy saturday ushered out the sabbath inn and nothing done

all day the bar being closed he rooted alone shut out from home from the excitement of his resort from carey and without the ability to alter his condition one

he was quite certain now that she knew he was married and was angered at his perfidy

he had loved her earnestly enough but now that the possibility of losing her stared him in the face she seemed much more attractive

he would explain to her just where he stood and how much he needed her

he did manage to bring himself into the mood to go out to carry but when he got in ogden place he thought he saw a man watching him and went away

he troubled over many little details and talked perfunctorily to everybody

he stayed at his desk long after all others had gone and only quitted it when the knight's watchman on his round pulled at the front door to see if it was safely locked

on wednesday he received another polite note from mcgregor james and hay it read

dear sir we beg to inform you that we are instructed to wait until to ⁇ morrow thursday at one o'clock before filing suit against you on behalf of mrs julia hurstwood for divorce and alimony

so here it was spread out clear before him and now he knew what to expect

minnie's flat as the one floor resident apartments were then being called was in a part of west van bearing street inhabited by families of laborers and clerks men who had come and were still coming with the rush of population pouring in at the rate of fifty thousand a year

to carry the sound of the little bells upon the horse cars as they tinkled in and out of hearing was as pleasing as it was novel

to him the presence or absence of his wife's sister was a matter of indifference

he was of a clean saving disposition and had already paid a number of monthly instalments on two lots far out on the west side

she had some slight gift of observation and that sense so rich in every woman intuition

the floors were covered with matting and the hall laid with a thin ragged carpet

then she walked and sang to it until hanson disturbed in his reading came and took it

now now he said walking there there and there was a certain swedish accent noticeable in his voice

minnie began to explain but her husband took this part of the conversation to himself

she asked minnie for ink and paper which were upon the mantle in the dining room and when the latter had gone to bed at ten got out drew his card and wrote him

she wanted to make some reference to their relations upon the train but was too timid

anything was good enough so long as it paid say five dollars a week to begin with

it was under such auspicious circumstances that she started out this morning to look for work

narrow boardwalks extended out passing here a house and there a store at far intervals eventually ending on the open prairie

it gave an imposing appearance to most of the wholesale houses whose offices were upon the ground floor and in plain view of the street

she was four years older than i to be sure and had seen more of the world but i was a boy and she was a girl and i resented her protecting manner

one day when i rode over to the shimerdas i found antonia starting off on foot for russian peter's house to borrow a spade ambrosch needed

there had been another black frost the night before and the air was clear and hetty as wine

i whirled round and there on one of those dry gravel beds was the biggest snake i had ever seen

a faint fetted smell came from him and a thread of green liquid oozed from his crushed head

i explained to antonia how this meant that he was twenty four years old that he must have been there when white men first came left on from buffalo and indian times

you could stand right up and talk to you he could did he fight hard

a snake of his size and fighting trim would be more than the boy could handle

throughout this century the power of the church was constantly on the increase and is visible in many important changes

the ancestors of the present pretender congel surnamed the squint eyed had twice received and cherished the licentious bards when under the ban of tara and his popularity with that still powerful order was one prop of his ambition

it is pretty clear also that the last rally of druidism against christianity took place behind his banner on the plain of mora

the poets of succeeding ages have dwelt much in detail on the occurrences of this memorable day

like the two kings of sparta they jointly dividing between them the labourers and cares of state

it was the season when the ancient sun god had been accustomed to receive his annual oblations and we can well believe that those whose hearts still trembled at the name of bell must have connected the eclipse and the plague with the revolution in the national worship and the overthrew of the ancient gods on that plain of prostration where they had so long received the homage of an entire people

lastly the royal brothers fell themselves victims to the epidemic which so sadly signalizes their reign

the only conflicts that occurred on irish soil with a pictish or an anglo saxon force if we accept those who formed a contingent of congel's army at moira occurred in the time of the hospitable finachta

as leading to the mention of other interesting events we must set this inroad clearly before the reader

the saxons of kent and the southern kingdoms generally were converted by missionaries from france or rome or native preachers of the first or second christian generation those of northumbria recognizes their apostles saint aden and saint cuthbert two fathers from iona

the kingdom of northumbria as the name implies embrace nearly all the country from the humber to the pictish border

the barren rock about three miles in length was covered with the monastic buildings and its cemetery was already adorned with the tombs of saints and kings

now every missionary that ever went out from iona had taught that to reduce christians to slavery was wholly inconsistent with a belief in the doctrines of the gospel

while the liberated exiles rejoiced on the plain of meath the tent of the abbot of iona was pitched on the wrath of tara a fact which would seem to indicate that already in little more than a century since the interdict had fallen on it the edifices which made so fine a show in the days of patrick were ruined and uninhabitable

so slow and patient is the process by which christianity infuses itself into the social life of a converted people

here the holy prelate of ferns met him and related a vision in which he had been instructed to demand the abolition of the impost

the tribute was at this period enormous fifteen thousand head of cattle annually

saint mauling survived him three years and saint adamnan so intimately connected with his reign ten years

nothing could be more natural than such an assembly in such a place at such a period

peter told his troubles to mister shimerda he was unable to meet a note which fell due on the first of november had to pay an exorbitant bonus on renewing it and to give a mortgage on his pigs and horses and even his milk cow

peter could give no very clear account of his transactions with cutter

she asked peter to wait a moment and when she came back from the kitchen she brought a bag of sandwiches and doughnuts for us

the little house on the hillside was so much the colour of the night that we could not see it as we came up the draw

they made me think of defeated armies retreating or of ghosts who were trying desperately to get in for shelter and then went moaning on

it seemed to me that he despised him for being so simple and docile

quickly it was covered with bright red spots i thought i had never seen any blood so bright

anthony's father uncovered one of his long bony legs and rubbed it rhythmically

from our bench should we could see what a hollow case his body was

after the ceremony at the church the party went to a dinner given by the parents of the bride

the first howls were taken up and echoed and with quickening repetitions

something happened to the hindmost sledge the driver lost control he was probably very drunk the horses left the road the sledge was caught up in a clump of trees and overturned

the road was clear and white and the groom's three blacks went like the wind

pavil knocked him over the side of the sledge and threw the girl after him

the first thing either of them noticed was a new sound that broke into the clean air louder than they had ever heard it before the bell of the monastery of their own village ringing for early prayers

they worked in chicago des moyne fort wayne but they were always unfortunate

during the auction he went about with his head down and never lifted his eyes

everyone said peter kissed the cow before she was led away by her new owner

the loss of his two friends had a depressing effect upon old mister shimerda

when he was out hunting he used to go into the empty log house and sit there brooding

this cabin was his hermitage until the winter snows penned him in his cave

the narrative it may be is woven of so humble a texture as to require this advantage and at the same time to render it the more difficult of attainment

in good faith however he is not sufficiently imaginative to flatter himself with the slightest hope of this kind

the author has considered it hardly worth his while therefore relentlessly to impale the story with its moral as with an iron rod or rather as by sticking a pin through a butterfly thus at once depriving it of life and causing it to stiffen in an ungainly and unnatural attitude

if permitted by the historical connection which though slight was essential to his plan the author would very willingly have avoided anything of this nature

he trusts not to be considered as unpardonably offending by laying out a street that infringes upon nobody's private rights and appropriating a lot of land which had no visible owner and building a house of materials long in use for constructing castles in the air

the enclosure had formerly been very extensive but was now contracted within small compass and hemmed about partly by high wooden fences and partly by the outbuildings of houses that stood on another street

the white double rose bush had evidently been propped up anew against the house since the commencement of the season and the pear tree and three damson trees which except a row of current bushes constituted the only varieties of fruit bore marks of the recent amputation of several superfluous or defective limbs

there were also a few species of antique and hereditary flowers in no very flourishing condition but scrupulously weeded as if some person either out of love or curiosity had been anxious to bring them to such perfection as they were capable of attaining

summer squashes almost in their golden blossom cucumbers now evincing a tendency to spread away from the main stock and ramble far and wide two or three rows of string beans and as many more that were about to festoon themselves on poles tomatoes occupying a site so sheltered and sunny that the plants were already gigantic and promised an early and abundant harvest

phoebe wondered whose care and toil it could have been that had planted these vegetables and kept the soil so clean and orderly

bees too strange to say had thought it worth their while to come hither possibly from the range of hives beside some farmhouse miles away

this was a fountain set round with a rim of old mossy stones and paved in its bed with what appeared to be a sort of mosaic work of variously covered pebbles

it now contained only chanteclare his two wives and a solitary chicken

it was evident that the race had degenerated like many a noble race besides in consequence of too strict a watchfulness to keep it pure

these feathered people had existed too long in their distinct variety a fact of which the present representatives judging by the lugubrious deportment seemed to be aware

they kept themselves alive unquestionably and laid now and then an egg and hatched at chicken not for any pleasure of their own but that the world might not absolutely lose what had once been so admirable a breed of fowls

the distinguishing mark of the hens was a crest of lamentably scanty growth in these latter days but so oddly and wickedly analogous to hepsiba's turban that phoebe to the poignant distress of her conscience but inevitably was led to fancy a general resemblance betwixt these forlorn bipeds and her respectable relative

the chicken crept through the pails of the coop and ran with some show of liveliness to her feet while chanteclare and the ladies of his household regarded her with queer sidelong glances and then croaked one to another as if communicating their sage opinions of her character

so wise as well as antique was their aspect as to give colour to the idea not merely that they were the descendants of a time honoured race but that they had existed in their individual capacity ever since the house of the seven gables was founded and were somehow mixed up with its destiny

he held a hoe in his hand and while phoebe was gone in quest of the crumbs had begun to busy himself with drawing up fresh earth about the roots of the tomatoes

they have known me much longer but never honour me with any familiarity though hardly a day passes without my bringing them food

miss hepseba i suppose will interweeve the fact with her other traditions and set it down that the fowls know you to be a pension

ah but these hens answered the young man these hens of aristocratic lineage would scorn to understand the vulgar language of a barnyard fowl

i prefer to think and so would miss hepsea that they recognize the family tone for you are a pension

my name is phoebe pension said the girl with a manner of some reserve for she was aware that her new acquaintance could be no other than the degerotypist of whose lawless propensities the old maid had given her a disagreeable idea

if you would permit me said the artist looking at phoebe i should like to try whether the daguerotype can bring out disagreeable traits on a perfectly amiable face

most of my likenesses do look unamiable but the very sufficient reason i fancy is because the originals are so

there is a wonderful insight in heaven's broad and simple sunshine

while we give it credit only for depicting the merest surface it actually brings out the secret character with a truth that no painter would ever venture upon even could he detect it

yet the original wears to common eyes a very different expression

i can assure you that this is a modern face and one which you will very probably meet

the sun as you see tells quite another story and will not be coaxed out of it after half a dozen patient attempts on my part

here we have the man sly subtle hard imperious and withal cold as ice look at that eye

well i don't wish to see it any more observed phoebe turning away her eyes it is certainly very like the old portrait

if the original is still in the world i think he might defy the sun to make him look stern and hard

is there nothing wild in the eye continued holgrave so earnestly that it embarrassed phoebe as did also the quiet freedom with which he presumed on their so recent acquaintance

it is nonsense said phoebe a little impatiently for us to talk about a picture which you have never seen

since you are a friend of my cousin hepzebus you should ask her to show you the picture

oh rejoined the dagurotypist because like an old lady's cup of tea it is water bewitched

she was indistinctly aware however that the gaunt figure of the old gentlewoman was sitting in one of the straight back chairs a little withdrawn from the window the faint gleam of which showed the blanched paleness of her cheek turned sideways towards the corner

fewer words than before but with the same mysterious music in them

while thus dismissing her the maiden lady stepped forward kissed phoebe and pressed her to her heart which beat against the girl's bosom with a strong high and tumultuous swell

at some uncertain period in the depths of night and as it were through the thin veil of a dream she was conscious of a footstep mounting the stairs heavily but not with force and decision

every year at a certain day of a certain month he went away to a distant city to collect money on an account

how do you know asked their father i am older and wiser than you are and i know that there are many evils which might come upon you

when it was evening he led his band into a nearby street and in his disguise approached the merchant's house he knocked at the door

it's surely a terrible storm outside said the merchant's eldest daughter as the wind rattled the tiles of the roof and the rain beat in torrents against the doors and windows

if we decide to show mercy to this poor beggar it is not for you to oppose it

but we should not forget our promise to our father cried the youngest daughter

however in spite of all she could say the elder sisters opened the door and admitted the beggar

it is a fearful knight to send away a beggar said the eldest sister while they were eating

while they were talking the beggar had taken the apples which the girls were to eat for dessert and had sprinkled a sleeping powder over them

the two eldest ate their apples but the youngest could not eat that night she threw the apple away

she did not stir and he knew that the sleeping powder had thoroughly done its work

then she heard him go down the stairway and unbolt the heavy doors which led into the store

it was the youngest one who deceived me cried the robber chieftain

the merchant's daughter at first did not answer but as he kept on calling to her she finally asked him what it was that he wanted

when she returned his hand was sticking through the hole in the door

grant was only a few miles away but although the commander in chief he knew nothing of the hardest fought battle of the civil war until it was over

there were no breast works yet that one little brigade of hamilton's division stood there in the open and repulsed assault after assault

not balaklava nor the alma saw such fighting it was the duel to the death

no battery in the whole four years war lost so many men in so short a time

one daring rebel was shot down and bayoneted clear behind the line of company b where he had broken through to seize the flag of my regiment

that night the enemy slipped away leaving hundreds and hundreds of his dead and wounded on the field

with a few lanterns our men then went about and tried to gather up the wounded the dead were left till morning

it was not a question of who was dead or wounded but who was not

fifteen officers of our little half regiment were dead or wounded

i remained awake all night talking with a comrade who shared my blanket with me poor jimmy king

he survived the war only to be murdered later on a plantation in mississippi

when morning came the firing opened and for all that day the battle raged fiercely at the left and centre left we getting the worst of it too

that evening an order came for us hamilton's division to assault the enemy's left flank at midnight

under the same quiet moonlight and only six hundred yards away from us also lay the victorious rebel army

once in the night i slipped away from the bivouac and hurried to the old temingo hotel to see a lieutenant of my company who had been shot through the breast

my friend with many others was being carried out to die elsewhere

the cloud of rebels we had seen divided itself into three columns

a perfect blaze of close ranged musketry too mowed them down like grass

that night i stood guard under an oak tree on the battlefield among the unburied dead

indeed we of the rank and file had little confidence in grant in those days

it required months and great events to make grant the hero of the army which he afterward became

a week after the battle my brother rode by there on a cavalry expedition and made the horrible discovery that hogs were eating up the bodies of our dead heroes that too was war

he had little enough to break or bite and once when there was a great famine in the land he could hardly procure even his daily bread and as he lay thinking in his bed one night he sighed and said to his wife what will become of us

how can we feed our children when we have no more than we can eat ourselves

oh you simpleton said she then we must all for die of hunger you had better plan the coffins for us

but she left him no peace till he consented saying ah but i shall miss the poor children

and as soon as their parents had gone to sleep he got up put on his coat and unbarring the back door went out

ah father said hansel i am looking at my white cat sitting upon the roof of the house and trying to say good bye

but in reality hansel was not looking at a cat but every time he stopped he dropped a pebble out of his pocket upon the path

but her husband felt heavy at heart and thought it were better to share the last crust with the children

early in the morning the stepmother came and pulled them out of bed and gave them each a slice of bread which was still smaller than the former piece

we are going into the forest to hugh wood and in the evening when we are ready we will come and fetch you again

hansel thought the roof tasted very nice and so he tore off a great piece while gretel broke a large round pane out of the window and sat down quite contentedly

come in and stop with me and no harm shall come to you and so saying she took them both by the hand and led them into her cottage

the old woman behaved very kindly to them but in reality she was a wicked old witch who waylaid children and built the bread house in order to entice them in but as soon as they were in her power she killed them cooked them and ate them and made a great festival of the day

then she took up hansel with her rough hand and shut him up in a little cage with a lattice door and although he screamed loudly it was of no use

gretel began to cry but it was all useless for the old witch made her do as she wanted

grethole she cried in a passion get some water quickly be handsome fat or lean this morning i will kill and cook him

creep in said the witch and see if it is hot enough and then we will put in the bread but she intended when grethall got in to shut up the oven and let her bake so that she might eat her as well as hansel

and now as there was nothing to fear they went back to the witch's house where in every corner were caskets full of pearls and precious stones

then they began to run and rushing into the house they fell upon their father's neck

folks brought up a sack of potatoes and a piece of cured pork from the cellar and grandmother packed some loaves of saturday's bread a jar of butter and several pumpkin pies in the straw of the wagon box

occasionally one of the horses would tear off with his teeth a plant full of blossoms and walk along munching it the flowers nodding in time to his bites as he ate down toward them

presently against one of those banks i saw a sort of shed thatched with the same wine colored grass that grew everywhere

you'll get fixed up comfortable after a while missus schmerda make good house

my grandmother always spoke in a very loud tone to foreigners as if they were deaf

she made missus shimerda understand the friendly intention of our visit and the bohemian woman handled the loaves of bread and even smelled them and examined the pies with lively curiosity exclaiming much good much thank

the family had been living on corn cakes and sorghum molasses for three days

her skin was brown too and in her cheeks she had a glow of rich dark colour

even from a distance one could see that there was something strange about this boy

it was so long that it bushed out behind his ears and made him look like the old portraits i remember in virginia

we stood panting on the edge of the ravine looking down at the trees and bushes that grew below us

the wind was so strong that i had to hold my hat on and the girl's skirts were blown out before them

she looked at me her eyes fairly blazing with things she could not say

she pointed into the gold cottonwood tree behind whose top we stood and said again what name

we were so deep in the grass that we could see nothing but the blue sky over us and the gold tree in front of us

after anthony had said the new words over and over she wanted to give me a little chased silver ring she wore on her middle finger

when i came up he touched my shoulder and looked searchingly down into my face for several seconds

i became somewhat embarrassed for i was used to being taken for granted by my elders

in aristocratic communities the people readily give themselves up to bursts of tumultuous and boisterous gaiety which shake off at once the recollection of their privations the natives of democracies are not fond of being thus violently broken in upon and they never lose sight of their own selves without regret

an american instead of going in a leisure hour to dance merrily at some place of public resort as the fellows of his coaling continued to do throughout the greater part of europe shut themselves up at home to drink

i believe the seriousness of the americans arises partly from their pride

this is more especially the case amongst those free nations which form democratic communities

then there are in all classes a very large number of men constantly occupied with the serious affairs of the government and those whose thoughts are not engaged in the direction of the commonwealth are wholly engrossed by the acquisition of a private fortune

i do not believe in such republics any more than in that of plato or if the things we read of really happened i do not hesitate to affirm that these supposed democracies were composed of very different elements from ours and that they had nothing in common with the latter except their name

in aristocracies every man has one sole object which he unceasingly pursues but amongst democratic nations the existence of man is more complex the same mind will almost always embrace several objects at the same time and these objects are frequently wholly foreign to each other as it cannot know them all well the mind is readily satisfied with imperfect notions of each

chapter sixteen why the national vanity of the americans is more restless and captures than that of the english

the americans in their intercourse with strangers appear impatient of the smallest censure and insatiable of praise

if i say to an american that the country he lives in is a fine one aye he replies there is not its fellow in the world

if i applaud the freedom which its inhabitants enjoy he answers freedom is a fine thing but few nations are worthy to enjoy it

in aristocratic countries the great possess immense privileges upon which their pride rests without seeking to rely upon the lesser advantages which accruther them

they therefore entertain a calm sense of their superiority they do not dream of vaunting privileges which every one perceives at no one contests and these things are not sufficiently new to them to be made topics of conversation

they stand unmoved in their solitary greatness well assured that they are seen of all the world without any effort to show themselves off and that no one will attempt to drive them from that position

when an aristocracy carries on the public affairs its national pride naturally assumes this reserved indifferent and haughty form which is imitated by all the other classes of the nation

these persons then displayed toward each other precisely the same purial jealousies which animate the men of democracies the same eagerness to snatch the smallest advantages which their equals contested and the same desire to parade ostentatiously those of which they were in possession

somehow or other cat has taught them that he's in charge here and he just chases them for fun now and again when he's not busy sleeping

she doesn't pick them up but just having them in the room she doesn't give her asthma

when are you getting rid of these cats i'm not fixing to start an annex a kate's cat home

right away when i bring home my new programme he says how come you're taking one less course this half

i explained that i'm taking music and also biology algebra english and french music he snorts

he does and for once i win around i keep music for this semester

sometimes schools do let kids take a lot of soft courses and then they're out on a limb later hun

besides says tom half the reason you and your father are always bickering is that you're so much alike me like him sure

i get the pillows comfortably arranged on the floor with a big bottle of soda and a bag of popcorn with an easy reach

you're getting altogether too upset about these programmes stop it and behave yourself

i hear the t v going for a few minutes then pop turns it off and goes in the kitchen to talk to mom

well i don't think you should turn a guy's t v program off in the middle without even finding out about it

i turn off the television set i've lost track of what's happening and it doesn't seem to be the grandfather who's a spook after all

it's the first time hilda has been to our house and tom introduces her around

tom drinks a little more coffee and than he goes on the trouble is i can't get married on this flower shop job job

at best they can only interpret the mind of the profit and can have no object of value

my callus the ticket of leap apostle was speaking in an even voice a voice that wheezed as if deadened and oppressed by the layer of fat on his chest

and ever since he had never managed to get his weight down as much as an ounce

with his elbow presenting no appearance of a joint but more like a bend than a dummy's limb thrown over the back of a chair he leaned forward slightly over his short and enormous thighs to spit into the grate

yes i had the time to think things out a little he added without emphasis

when he rose painfully the thrusting ford of his skinny groping hand deformed by gouty swellings suggested the effort of a morbid murderer summoning all his remaining strength for a last

his enunciation would have been almost totally unintelligible to a stranger

the old terrace turned slowly his head on his skinny neck from side to side

the possessors of property had not only to face the awakened proletariat but they had also to fight amongst themselves yes

struggle warfare was the condition of private ownership it was fatal

ah he did not depend upon emotional excitement to keep up his belief no declamations no anger no visions of blood red flags waving or metaphorical lurid sons of vengeance rising above the horizon of a doomed society not he

don't you think that if i had not been the optimist i am i could not have found in fifteen years some means to cut my throat

a harsh laugh from conrad oscipan cut the tirade dead short in a sudden faltering of the tongue and the bewildered unsteadiness of the apostle's mildly exalted eyes

alexander ossipin got up tall on his thread ⁇ bare blue surge suit under the low ceiling shook off the stiffness of long immobility and strolled away into the kitchen down two steps to look over stevie's shoulder

you had called that latter gentleman would you mumbled mr verloc

there was an extraordinary force of suggestion in this posturing

the famous terrorist had never in his life raised personally as much as his little finger against the social edifice

the shadow of his evil gift clung to him yet like the smell of a deadly drug in an old vial of poison emptied now useless ready to be thrown away upon the rubbish heap of things that had served their time

the ticket of leave apostle smiled vaguely with his glued lips his pasty moon face stroped under the weight of melancholy ascent

his own skin had sizzled under the red hot brand he murmured softly

you don't understand he began disdainfully but stopped short intimidated by the dead blackness of the cavernous eyes and the face turned slowly towards him with a blind stare as if guided only by the sound

stevie accustomed to move about disregarded had got up from the kitchen table carrying off his drawing to bed with him

the sheet of paper covered with circles dropped out of his fingers and he remained staring at the old terrorist as if rooted suddenly to the spot by his morbid horror and dread of physical pain

his scared eyes blazed with indignation it would hurt terribly his mouth dropped open

his vision of truth had grown so intense that the sound of his strange voice failed to rout at this time

the coals in the grate settled down with a slight crash and macalas the hermit of visions in the desert of a penitentiary got up impetuously

the disdainful pout of comrade ossipin's thick lips accentuated the negro type of his face

they are nourishing their greed on the quivering flesh and the warm blood of the people nothing else

stevie swallowed a terrifying statement with an audible gulp and at once as though it had been swift poison sank limply in a sitting posture on the steps of the kitchen door

he closed the door behind their backs with restrained violence turned the key shot the bolt

with the insight of a kindred temperament he pronounced his verdict

there are natures too to whose sense of justice the price exact it looms up mossely enormous odious oppressive worrying humiliating extortionate intolerable those are the fanatics

looking was all very well for these fellows who knew not mr vladimir and had women to fall back upon whereas he had a woman to provide four

these were but a few and for the first time since he opened this shop he took a commercial survey of its value

he took the cash box out of the drawer and turning to leave the shop became aware that stevie was still downstairs

he looked dubiously at his brother in law but he did not ask him for information

mister verloc perceived with some surprise that he did not know really what to say to stevie

he stood still in the middle of the parlour and looked into the kitchen in silence

the light thrown down by the shade fell dazzlingly on the white pillow sunk by the weight of her head reposing with closed eyes and dark hair done up in several plates for the night

her bare feet as if poked through the bottom of an unadorned sleeved calico sack buttoned tightly at neck and wrists felt over the rug for the slippers while she looked upward into her husband's face

there is no occupation that fails a man more completely than that of a secret agent of police

it's like your horse suddenly falling dead under you in the midst of an uninhabited and thirsty plain

the comparison occurred to mister reluct because he had satisfied various army horses in his time and had now the sensation of an incipient fall

the prospect was as black as the window pane against which he was leaning his forehead

down below in the quiet narrow street measured footsteps approached the house then died away unhurried and firm as if the passer ⁇ by had started to pace out all eternity from gaslamp to gasnp in a night without end and the drowsy ticking of the old clock on the landing became distinctly audible in the bedroom

that poor boy is in a very excited state tonight she murmured after a pause which lasted for three ticks of the clock

this dread led him to make the remark that stevie had disregarded his suggestion to go to bed

there was no young man of his age in london more willing and docile than stephen she affirmed none more affectionate and ready to please and even useful as long as people did not upset his poor head

mister verloc's anxieties had prevented him from attaching any sense to what his wife was saying

if i had known they were coming tonight i would have seen to it that he went to bed at the same time i did

he was out of his mind with something he overheard about eating people's flesh and drinking blood was the good of talking like that

he glared at me as if he didn't know who i was when he went downstairs

i wish he had never been to school mrs verloc began again brusquely

the other day stevie got hold of one and there was a story in it of a german soldier officer tearing half off the ear of a recruit and nothing was done to him for it the brute

but in less than five minutes the staircase groaned beneath an extraordinary weight

at this moment the whole soul of the old man seemed centered in his eyes which became bloodshot the veins of the throat swelled his cheeks and temples became purple as though he was struck with epilepsy nothing was wanting to complete this but the utterance of a cry

and the cry issued from his pors if we may thus speak a cry frightful in its silence

daveny rushed towards the old man and made him inhale a powerful restorative

daveny unable to bear the sight of this touching emotion turned away and villefort without seeking any further explanation and attracted towards him by the irresistible magnetism which draws us towards those who have loved the people for whom we mourn extended his hand towards the young man

for some time nothing was heard in that chamber but sobs exclamations and prayers

oh you rave sir exclaimed villefort in vain endeavouring to escape the net in which he was taken i rave

nautier looked upon moral with one of those melancholy smiles which had so often made valentine happy and thus fixed his attention

gentlemen he said in a hoarse voice give me your word of honour that this horrible secret shall forever remain buried amongst ourselves the two men drew back

my father has revealed the culprit's name my father thirsts for revenge as much as you do yet even he conjures you as i do to keep this secret do you not father

morel suffered an exclamation of horror and surprise to escape him

it was something terrible to witness the silent agony the mute despair of mortier whose tears silently rolled on his cheeks

but he stopped in the landing he had not the courage to again visit the death chamber

noitier was near the bed pale motionless and silent as the corpse

the district doctor approached with the indifference of a man accustomed to spend half his time amongst the dead he then lifted the sheet which was placed over the face and just unclosed the lips

the nearest said the district doctor is a good italian abb who lives next door to you shall i call on him as i pass

daveny said villefort be so kind i beseech you as to accompany this gentleman here is the key of the door so that you can go in and out as you please you will bring the priest with you and will oblige me by introducing him into my child's room do you wish to see him

i am going sir and i do not hesitate to say that no prayers will be more fervent than mine

but with full ravishment the hours of prime singing received they in the midst of leaves that ever bore a burden to their rhymes

all waters that on earth most limpid are would seem to have within themselves some mixture compared with that which nothing doth conceal

thou mayest me remember where and what prosopena that moment was when lost her mother her and she herself the spring

i do not think there shone so great a light under the leads of venus when transfixed by her own son beyond his usual custom

ye are newcomers and because i smile began she peradventure in this place elect to human nature for its nest

some apprehension keeps you marvelling but the psalm delictaci giveth light which has the power to uncloud your intellect

the good supreme soul in itself delighting created man good and this goodly place gave him as handsel of eternal peace

by his default short while he sojourned here by his default to weeping and to toil he changed his innocent laughter and sweet play

this every other savour doth transcend and notwithstanding slaked so far may be thy thirst that i reveal to thee no more

between hursteps and mine were not a hundred when equally the margins gave a turn in such a way that to the east i faced

nor even thus our way continued far before the lady wholly turned herself unto me saying brother look and listen

now helicon must needs pour forth for me and with her choir urania must assist me to put in verse things difficult to think

then back i turned my face to those high things which moved themselves towards us so sedately they had been distanced by new wedded brides

and i beheld the flamelets onward go leaving behind themselves the air depicted and they of trailing pennons had the semblance so that it overhead remained distinct with sevenfold lists all of them of the colours whence the sun's bow is made and delia's girdle

these standards to the rear word than was my sight and as it seemed to me ten paces were the outermost apart

the interval between these four contained a chariot triumphal on two wheels which by a griffin's neck came drawn along

not only rome with no such splendid car ere gladdened africanus or augustus but poor to it that of the sun would be

three maidens at the right wheel in a circle came onward dancing one so very red that in the fire she hardly had been noted

the second was as if her flesh and bones had all been fashioned out of emerald the third appeared as snow but newly fallen

in rear of all the group here treated of two old men i beheld unlike in habit but like in gate each dignified and grave

and when the car was opposite to me thunder was heard and all that folk august seemed to have further progress interdited

and one of them as if by heaven commissioned singing vani sponsor delibano shouted three times and all the others after

as soon as on my vision smote the power sublime that had already pierced me through ere from my boyhood i had yet come forth

to the left hand i turned with that reliance with which the little child runs to his mother when he has fear or when he is afflicted

to say unto virgilius not a drachm of blood remains in me that does not tremble i know the traces of the ancient flame

dante because virgilius has departed do not weep yet do not weep yet awhile for by another sword thou needst must weep

i saw the lady who erewhile appeared veiled underneath the angelic festival direct her eyes to me across the river

ye keep your watch in the eternal day so that nor night nor sleep can steal from you one step the ages make upon their path

therefore my answer is with greater care that he may hear me who is weeping yonder so that the sin and dole be of one measure

but by the largest of celestial graces which have such lofty vapours for their reign that near to them our sight approaches not

as soon as ever of my second age i was upon the threshold and changed life himself from me he took and gave to others

so low he fell that all appliances for his salvation were already short save showing him the people of perdition

confusion and dismay together mingled forced such a yes from out my mouth that sight was needful to the understanding of it

whence she to me in those desires of mine which led thee to the loving of that good beyond which there is nothing to aspire to

and what allurements or whatages upon the forehead of the other showed that thou shouldst turn thy footsteps unto them

a laudable regard for the honour of the first proselyte has countenanced the belief the hope the wish that the ebionites or at least the nazarenes were distinguished only by their obstinate perseverance in the practice of the mosaic rites

their churches have disappeared their books are obliterated their obscure freedom might allow latitude of faith and the softness of their infant creed would be variously moulded by the zeal or prudence of three hundred years

yet the most charitable criticism must refuse these sectaries any knowledge of the pure and proper divinity of christ

his progress from infancy to youth and manhood was marked by a regular increase in stature and wisdom and after a painful agony of mind and body he expired on the cross

he lived and died for the service of mankind but the life and death of socrates had likewise been devoted to the cause of religion and justice and although the stoic or the hero may disdain the humble virtues of jesus the tears which he shed over his friend and country may be esteemed the purest evidence of his humanity

the son of a virgin generated by the ineffable operation of a holy spirit was a creature without example or resemblance superior in every attribute of mind and body to the children of adam

nor could it seem strange or incredible that the first of these eons the logos or word of god of the same substance with the father should descend upon earth to deliver the human race from vice and error and to conduct them in the paths of life and immortality

but the prevailing doctrine of the eternity and inherent privity of matter infected the primitive churches of the east

many among the gentile proselytes refused to believe that a celestial spirit an undivided portion of the first essence had been personally united with a mass of impure and contaminated flesh and in their zeal for the divinity they piously abjured the humanity of christ

he first appeared on the banks of the jordan in the form of perfect manhood but it was a form only and not a substance a human figure created by the hand of omnipotence to imitate the faculties and actions of a man and to impose a perpetual illusion on the senses of his friends and enemies

but the rashness of these concessions has encouraged a milder sentiment of those of the doseet who taught not that christ was a phantom but that he was clothed with an impassable and incorruptible body

a fotis that could increase from an invisible point to its full maturity a child that could attain the stature of perfect manhood without deriving any nourishment from the ordinary sources might continue to exist without repairing a daily waste by a daily supply of external matter

in their eyes jesus of nazareth was a mere mortal the legitimate son of joseph and mary but he was the best and wisest of the human race selected as the worthy instrument to restore upon earth the worship of the true and supreme deity

when the messiah was delivered into the hands of the jews the christ an immortal and impassable being forsook his earthly tabernacle flew back to the plumma or world of spirits and left the solitary jesus to suffer to complain and to expire

but the justice and generosity of such a desertion are strongly questionable and the fate of an innocent martyr at first impelled and at length abandoned by his divine companion might provoke the pity and indignation of the profane

their murmurs were variously silenced by the sectaries who espoused and modified the double system of carinthus

the worthy friend of athanasius the worthy antagonist of julian he bravely wrestled with the aryans and polyphists and though he effected the rigour of geometrical demonstration his commentaries revealed the literal and allegorical sense of the scriptures

yet as the profound doctor had been terrified at his own rashness apollinaris was heard to mutter some faint accents of excuse and explanation

he acquiesced in the old distinction of the greek philosophers between the rational and sensitive soul of man that he might reserve the logos for intellectual functions and employ the subordinate human principle in the meaner actions of animal life

but instead of a temporary and occasional alliance they established and we still embrace the substantial indissoluble and everlasting union of a perfect god with a perfect man of the second person of the trinity with a reasonable soul and human flesh

under the tuition of the abbot syrapion he applied himself to ecclesiastical studies with such indefatigable ardour that in the course of one sleepless night he has perused the four gospels the catholic epistles and the epistle to the romans

ardent in the prosecution of heresy carol auspiciously opened his reign by oppressing the novations the most innocent and harmless of the sectaries

without any legal sentence without any royal mandate the patriarch at the dawn of the day led a seditious multitude to the attack of the synagogues

such crimes would have deserved the animed version of the magistrate but in this promiscuous outrage the innocent were confounded with the guilty and alexandria was impoverished by the loss of a wealthy and industrious colony

this deal of carol exposed him to the penalties of the julian law but in a feeble government and a superstitious age he was secure of impunity and even of praise

orestes complained but his just complaints were too quickly forgotten by the ministers of theodosius and too deeply remembered by a priest who affected to pardon and continued to hate the prefect of egypt

a rumour was spread among the christians that the daughter of thion was the only obstacle to the reconciliation of the prefect in the archbishop and that obstacle was speedily removed

which oppressed the metropolitans of europe and asia invaded the provinces of antioch and alexandria and measured their diocese by the limits of the empire

exterminate with me the heretics and with you i will exterminate the persians

at these blasphemous sounds the pillars of the sanctuary were shaken

the vanity of kelistine was flattered by the appeal and the partial version of a monk decided the faith of the pope who with his latin clergy was ignorant of the language the arts and the theology of the greeks

nestorius who depended on the near approach of his eastern friends persisted like his predecester christam to disclaim the jurisdiction and to disobey the summons of his enemies they hastened his trial and his accuser presided in the seat of judgment

sixty eight bishops twenty two of metropolitan rank defended his cause by a modest and temperate protest they were excluded from the councils of their brethren

by the vigilance of memnon the churches were shut against them and a strong garrison was thrown into the cathedral

during a busy period of three months the emperor tried every method except the most effectual means of indifference and contempt to reconcile this theological quarrel

return to your provinces and may your private virtues repair the mischief and scandal of your meeting

the feeble son of arcadius was alternately swayed by his wife and sister by the eunuchs and women of the palace superstition and avarice were their ruling passions and the orthodox chiefs were assiduous in their endeavours to alarm the former and to gratify the latter

but in this awful moment of the danger of the church their vow was superseded by a more sublime and indispensable duty

at the same time every avenue of the throne was assaulted with gold

the past he regretted he was discontented with the present and the future he had reason to dread the oriental bishops successively disengaged their cause from his unpopular name and each day decreased the number of the schismatics who revered nestorius as the confessor of the faith

a wandering tribe of the blemise or nubians invaded his solitary prison in their retreat they dismissed a crowd of useless captives but no sooner had nestorius reached the banks of the nile than he would gladly have escaped from a roman in orthodox city to the milder servitude of the savages

we have both seen the same newspaper of course and you have been the first to clear the thing up that's it isn't it

not satisfied with gossip in private the greedy public appetite devours gossip in print and wants more of it than any one editor can supply

in the meantime after what missus presty had confessed the cruel falsehood which had checked poor kitty's natural inquiries raised an insuperable obstacle to a meeting between father and child

he had promised to do his best toward persuading catherine to grant sydney an interview

even the chance of successfully confiding her to benny deck's protection had lost something of its fair promise since randall's visit to sydenham

be the results however what they might randal could see but one plain course before him now

considerations of delicacy seem to forbid taking this liberty even with an intimate friend

what happier future could await her especially if she justified randall's past experience of all that was candid and truthful in her character than to become his friend's wife

shall i say that she may expect an early visit from you when i see her to morrow

he added sidney's address in a postscript and despatched his letter that evening

but it might perhaps be excusable to infer that the marriage had not yet been decided on and that the captain's proposals were still waiting for catherine's reply

not having heard from captain bennydick for some little time randall thought it desirable in sydney's interest to make inquiries at his club

the sailing master announced that he had orders to take the vessel back to her port with no other explanation than that the cruise was over

this alternative in the captain's plans terminating the voyage a month earlier than his arrangements had contemplated puzzled randall

randall waited while in london on the chance that benedict might pay him a visit

he is staying at this hotel to try the air of sydenham and he finds that it agrees with him

randall wrote to accept the invitation determining to present himself before the appointed hour and to question catherine privately without giving her the advantage over him of preparing herself for the interview

whatever reviving effect it might otherwise have produced on him it made no change in the threatening gloom of his manner

he put down the empty glass taking no notice of his brother's question

you don't know what it is to be used to seeing a pretty creature always nicely dressed always about the room thinking so much of you and so little of herself and then to be left alone as i am left out in the dark

i tried it yesterday it set my brains on fire i'm feeling that glass i took just now

she shall have your message all that i can do to persuade her shall be done

he mentioned the name of one of the old servants at mount morvin who had attached himself to randall after the break up of the family

on the next day but one randall arranged his departure for sydenham so as to arrive at the hotel an hour before the time appointed for the dinner

the new number of a popular weekly journal had that day been published randold bought it

after reading one or two of the political articles he arrived at the columns specially devoted to fashionable intelligence

with his own suspicions steadily contradicting him he arrived at the hotel obstinately believing that the charming widow would prove to be a stranger

missus norman and her little daughter were out driving with a friend and were expected to return in good time for dinner

missus presty was at home she was reported to be in the garden of the hotel

but you ought to have known that we are only half an hour behind you at sydenham in the matter of news

but if these newspaper people waited to find out whether report is true or false how much gossip would society get in its favorite newspapers

you shall hear how my divorced daughter and my poor little grandchild were treated at sandyseal after you left us

you would have seen her pining for the company of other children and would have had no mercy on her

he was introduced to missus norman and to missus norman's little girl and we were all charmed with him

when he and i happen to be left together he naturally wondered after having seen the beautiful wife where the lucky husband might be

and the captain of course concluded after having been introduced to kitty that missus norman was a widow

worse stories have been printed i do assure you worse stories have been printed

before i consented to answer the child's inquiries i came to an understanding with her mother

after that i had her mother's authority for telling kitty that she would never see her father again

that will do missus presty your defence is thoroughly worthy of your conduct in all other respects

it was a relief to randall in the present state of catherine's relations toward benedeck to return to london without having seen his friend

arrived at the station randall found that he must wait for the train

while he was walking up and down the platform with a mind doubly distressed by anxiety about his brother and anxiety about sidney the train from london came in

the original attitude of the american indian toward the eternal the great mystery that surrounds and embraces us was as simple as it was exalted

it was silent because all speech is of necessity feeble and imperfect therefore the souls of my ancestors ascend to god in wordless adoration

none might exhort or confess or in any way meddle with the religious experience of another

among us all men were created sons of god and stood erect as conscious of their divinity

that solitary communion with the unseen which was the highest expression of our religious life is partly described in the word bambade literally mysterious feeling which has been variously translated fasting and dreaming

the first bambade or religious retreat marked an epoch in the life of the youth which may be compared to that of confirmation or conversion in a christian experience

knowing that god sets no value upon material things he took with him no offerings or sacrifices other than symbolic objects such as paints and tobacco

at the solemn hour of sunrise or sunset he took up his position overlooking the glories of earth and facing the great mystery and there he remained naked erect silent and motionless exposed to the elements and forces of his arming for a night and a day to two days and nights but rarely longer

when he returned to the camp he must remain at a distance until he had again entered the vapour bath and prepared himself for intercourse with his fellows

it was not then wholly from ignorance or improvidence that he failed to establish permanent towns and to develop a material civilization

to the untutored sage the concentration of population was the prolific mother of all evils moral no less than physical

in this type of prayer there was no beseeching of favour or help

from the sun as the universal father precedes the quickening principle in nature and in the patient and fruitful womb of our mother the earth are hidden embryos of plants and men

nothing of the marvellous could astonish him as that a beast should speak or the sun stands till

here is the supreme mystery that is the essence of worship without which there can be no religion and in the presence of this mystery our attitude cannot be very unlike that of the natural philosopher who beholds with awe the divine in all creation

in his own thought he rose superior to them he scorned them even as lofty spirit absorbed in its stern task rejects the soft beds the luxurious food the pleasure worshipping dalliance of the rich neighbor

the historians of the white race admit that the indian was never the first to repudiate his oath

her attitude and secret meditations must be such as to instill into the receptive soul of the unborn child the love of the great mystery and the sense of brotherhood with all creation

the ordeal is best met alone where no curious or pitying eyes embarrass her where all nature says to her spirit tis love tis love the fulfilling of life

this wild mother has not only the experience of her mother and grandmother and the accepted rules of her people for a guide but she humbly seeks to learn a lesson from ants bees spiders beavers and badgers

in due time the child takes of his own accord the attitude of prayer and speaks reverently of the powers

indeed the distinctive work of both grandparents is that of acquainting the youth with the national traditions and beliefs

the family was not only the social unit but also the unit of government

the remoter degrees of kinship were fully recognized and that not as a matter of form only first cousins were known as brothers and sisters the name of cousin constituted a binding claim and a rigid morality forbade marriage between cousins in any known degree or in other words within the clan

before this calamity came upon us you could not find anywhere a happier home than that created by the indian woman

whenever in the course of the daily hunt the red hunter comes upon a scene that is strikingly beautiful or sublime a black thundercloud with the rainbow's glowing arch above the mountain a white waterfall in the heart of the green gorge a vast prairie tinged with the blood red of sunset he pauses for an instant in the attitude of worship

when he becomes an old man he loves to make a notable effort to prove his gratitude

he cuts off the choicest morsel of the meat and casts it into the fire the purest and most ethereal element

the hospitality of the whigwam is only limited by the institution of war

our honor is the guarantee for his safety so long as he is within the camp

love between man and woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self seeking

but to have a friend and to be true under any in all trials as the mark of a man

this bond is between man and man is usually formed in early youth and can only be broken by death

therefore he courts death in battle on the other hand he would regard it as disgraceful to be killed in a private quarrel

the men black in their faces and widows or bereaved parents sometimes gash their arms and legs till they are covered with blood

giving themselves up wholly to their grief they are no longer concerned about any earthly possession and often give away all that they have to the first comers even to their beds and their home

it was prepared by dressing in the finest clothes together with some personal possessions and ornaments wrapped in several robes and finally in a secure covering of raw hide

as a special mark of respect the body of a young woman or a warrior was sometimes laid out in state in a new tepee with the usual household articles and even with a dish of food left beside it not that they supposed the spirit could use the implements or eat the food but merely as a last tribute

if a man were slain in battle it was an old custom to place his body against a tree or rock in a sitting position always facing the enemy to indicate his undaunted defiance and bravery even in death

at every meal time a dish of food was placed under it and some person of the same sex an age as the one who was gone must afterward be invited in to partake of the food

at the end of a year from the time of death the relatives made a public feast and gave away the clothing and other gifts while the lock of hair was interred with appropriate ceremonies

it is well known that the american indian had somehow developed occult power and although in the latter days there have been many imposters and allowing for the vanity and weakness of human nature it is fair to assume that there must have been some even in the old days yet there are well attested instances of remarkable prophecies and other mystic practice

no doubt many predictions have been coloured to suit the new age and unquestionably false prophets fakers and conjurors have become the pests of the tribes during the transition period

another famous medicine man was born on the rum river about one hundred and fifty years ago and lived to be over a century old

at the age of about seventy five years he saved his band from utter destruction at the hands of their ancestral enemies by suddenly giving warning received in a dream of the approach of a large war party

five years later he repeated the service and again saved his people from awful slaughter

there are many trustworthy men and men of christian faith to vouch for these in similar events occurring as foretold

at another time when i was fourteen years old we had just left fort ellis on the assinobone river and my youngest uncle had selected a fine spot for a night camp

many of the indians believed that one may be born more than once and there were some who claimed to have full knowledge of a former incarnation

there was a well known sioux war prophet who lived in the middle of the last century so that he is still remembered by the old men of his band

she herself should have been a poem a lyric in a white gown and green scarf coming to him through the long grass under the blossomed boughs

her hands should have been full of blue bells and she should have held them up to his face in maidenly defence as he sprang forward to take her in his arms

you see that she knew exactly how a trist is conducted in the pages of the standard poets and of the cheaper weekly journals

she had to the full limit allowed of her reading in her environment the literary sense

and curiously enough she was hardly curious at all about what he might have to say

she only wished for may and the orchard instead of january and the dingy dusty waiting room the plain faced preoccupied travellers the dim desolate weather

it was bitterly cold but the embankment was more romantic than a railway carriage

but here the only thing that occurred to her was to stop and look in one of the shops till he should ask her what she was looking at

the keen wind thrust itself even inside the high collar of her jacket

she would have shared his sorrow and shown herself half wife half angel from heaven in this dark hour

and yesterday i had a letter from her and she seems to expect to think and i thought i ought to tell you darling

a shock of unbelievable relief tingled through her suit that was all what was it compared with her fears

what opinion would he form of the purity of her mind the innocence of her soul if an incident like this failed to shock her deeply

following the tingle of relief came a sharp sickening pinch of jealousy and mortification these inspired her

i don't wonder you were afraid to tell me she began you don't love me you've never loved me i was an idiot to believe you did

i didn't think a decent man could do such things she was pulling on her gloves go home and gloat over it all

and he strode down between the marble tables and out by the swing door it was a very good exit

at the corner he remembered that he had gone away without paying for the tea and his natural impulse was to go back and remedy that error

so he enlisted and went to south africa and he never came home covered with metals and glory which was rather his idea to the few simple words of explanation that would have made all straight and repaid her and him for all the past

the last strains of the ill treated ill fated intermezzo had died away and after them had died away also the rumbling of the wheels of the murderous barrel organ that had so gaily executed that along with the nine other tunes of its repertory to the admiration of the housemaid at the window of the house opposite and the crowing delight of the two babies next door

the young man drew a deep breath of relief and lighted the wax candles in the solid silver candlesticks on his writing table for now the late summer dusk was falling and that organ please heaven made fool the measure of the day's appointed torture

then there was silence then a sigh and the sound of light moving feet on the gravel

there is a seat in the garden at the side of the house again she hesitated

then she turned towards the quarter indicated and disappeared round the laurel bushes

look here he said this is all nonsense you know you are tired out and there's something wrong what is it

he had no time to think but he was aware that this was the most exciting adventure that had ever happened to him

is it only that you're poor well that's nothing i'm poor too she laughed

he told me to stay on at the hotel and i did and then one night when i was at the theatre my maid a horrid french thing we got in paris packed up all my trunks and took all my money and paid the bill and went

well then i went into lodgings that wicked woman had left me one street suit and to day they turned me out because my money was all gone

let me think he said how glad i am that you happen to come this way

i shall lock up all the doors and windows in the house and then i shall give you my latch key and you can let yourself in and stay the night here there is no one in the house

i will catch the night train and bring my mother up to morrow then we will see what can be done

you see papa's so very rich and at home they expect me to to get acquainted with dukes and things and she stopped

it wasn't i who said that said the girl smiling but that's so anyhow and then she sighed

you are kind she said for the third time and reached her hand out to him he did not kiss it then only took it in his and felt how small and cold it was then it was taken away

the lady in the guitar certainly passed the night at hillview villa but when his mother very angry and very frightened came up with him at about noon the house looked just as usual and no one was there but the charwoman

the silver is all right thank goodness she said but your banjo girl has taken a pair of your sister's silk stockings and those new shoes of hers with the silver buckles and she's left these

it was plain that his castinet girl his mother and sister took a pleasure in crediting her daily with some fresh and unpleasing instrument could have had neither taste money nor honesty to such a point as this

when she said good ⁇ night to beani and went to her chamber over that where the loved parent and friend would fall asleep no more she felt as if she went walking along to her tomb

at the time mary had noted nothing of these things now she saw them all as for the first time in minute detail while slowly she went up the stair and threw the narrowed ways and heard the same wind that raved alike about the new grave and the old house into which latter for all the bales banked against the walls it found many a chink of entrance

when she opened the door of it the bright fire which beani undesired had kindled there startled her the room looked unnatural uncanny because it was cheerful

she stood for a moment on the hearth and in sad dreamy mood listened to the howling swoops of the wind making the house quiver and shake

this was her dream as nearly as she could recall it when she came to herself after waking from it with a cry

she was one of a large company at a house where she had never been before a beautiful house with a large garden behind

it was a summer night and the guests were wandering in and out at will and through house and garden amid lovely things of all colours and odors

but she knew nobody and wandered alone in the garden oppressed with something she did not understand

she entered and the servants soft ⁇ footed and silent were busy carrying away the vessels of hospitality and restoring order as if already they prepared for another company on the morrow no one heeded her

she knew nothing of the place had nowhere to go nowhere she wanted to go had not a thought to tell her what question to ask if she met a living soul

she had lost him years and years before and now she saw him he was there and she knew him

the old time was but a thicker dream and this is truer because more shadowy

shall i pour out my soul into the ear of a mist a fume from my own brain

thus was she borne away captive of her dead neither willing nor unwilling of life and death equally careless

colonel leonidas talbot regarded the white flag with feelings in which triumph and sadness were mingled strangely

but the emotions of harry and his comrades were for the moment those of victory only

the smoke itself which had formed a vast cloud over the harbor forts and city was now drifting out to sea leaving all things etched sharply in the dazzling sunlight of a southern spring day

that white flag in those boats going out mean that sumter is ours

all the amenities were preserved between the captured garrison and their captors

the great state of virginia mother of presidents went out of the union at last in north carolina tennessee and arkansas followed her but maryland kentucky and missouri still hung in the balance

lincoln had called for volunteers to put down a rebellion but harry heard everywhere in charleston that the confederacy was now secure

the progress of president davis to the new capital set in the very face of the foe was to be one huge triumph of faith and loyalty

europe which must have its cotton would favor the success of the south

an extraordinary wave of emotions swept over the south carrying everybody with it

we need kentucky and i understand that a very little more may bring the state to us go with your father i understand that you have been a brave young soldier here and may you do as well up there

harry feeling pride but not showing it saluted and left the room going at once to madame deulnaise where he had left his baggage

he intended to leave early in the morning but first he saw his friends and told them good bye

whether their manner was grave or frivolous he knew that these were good friends of his and he sincerely hoped that he would meet them again

four months had made great changes he bore himself more like a man his manner was much more considered and grave

but he looked back at charleston the gay the volt on the beautiful with real affection

he felt the difference as soon as he reached the hills of his native state

people were cooler here and they were more prone to look at the two sides of a question

the air too was unlike that of south carolina there was a sharper tang to it

it was afternoon when he reached the little station of wynton and left the train a tall sturdy boy the superior of many a man in size strength and agility

he did not say the last as a boast but merely as an assurance to the livery man who he saw was anxious on his account

if you've got pistols just you think once before you shoot said collins

harry thanked him threw his saddle bags across the horse a powerful bay and giving a final wave of his hand to the sympathetic liveryman rode away

this was not the fashion of a year ago when they exchanged a friendly word or two but harry knew its cause now nobody could trust anybody else

one winter evening as soon as his work was over for the day joseph locked the door of his smithy washed himself well put on clean clothes and taking his violin set out for test bridge mary was expecting him to tea

was there ever a happier man than joseph that night as he strode along the footpath

he pressed his violin case to his heart as if it were a living thing that could know that he loved it

when he reached the suburbs the light of homes was shining through curtains of all colors

he laid down his violin and seated himself where mary told him in her father's armchair by the fire

letty finding herself not quite equal to the emergency came in her turn to call mary she went as quietly as if she were leaving a tiresome visitor

the music was broken and joseph left alone with the dumb instruments

but in his hands solitude and a violin were sure to marry in music

her heart seemed to swell up into her throat and it was all she could do to keep from weeping

a little longer and she was compelled to yield and the silent tears flowed freely

let but a mood be strong enough and the soul clothing itself in that mood as with a garment can walk abroad and haunt the world

it cried aloud that eternity was very long and like a great palace without a quiet room

nor was this exactly the shape the thing took to the consciousness of the musician

i love thee i love thee cried the violin and the worship was entreaty that knew not itself

hast thou yet to learn that the love of the human is love is divine is but a lower form of the part of the love of god

when thou lovest man or woman or child yea or even dog aright then wilt thou no longer need that i tell thee how god and his christ would not be content with each other alone in the glories even of the eternal original love because they could create more love

he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen how shall we love god whom he hath not seen

that enchantment had possessed him assurping as it were the throne of his life in displacing it when it ceased he was not his own master

he started to conscious confusion only neither knowing where he was nor what he did

how it happened he never could tell but he brought down his violin with a crash against the piano then somehow stumbled and all but fell

in the act of recovering himself he heard the neck of his instrument part from the body with a tearing discordant cry like the sound of the ruin of a living world

his treasure taken type of his self and a woman given him instead

looks like a clump of bushes down there but i ain't sure can you make it out

don't move around like perfectly still warned the guide are you hurt

and that tumbles enough to knock the sense out of a full grown man

i could not think of allowing any of my chargers to take so terrible a risk at

i am the one to go after walt if anyone has to i'll go down mister thomas

master ted is right decided the guide gazing at the two boys approvingly

you'd have both of us at the bottom if i left it to you to take care of this end

be sure to fasten him securely to the loop before you give the signal to haul up warned the guide

cautiously placing a hand against the rock assetting himself tad wisely concluded that hereafter it would not pay to be too curious

slowly but steadily the slender line was paid out amid a tense silence on the part of the little group at the top of the canyon

after what seemed to them hours a sharp call from the depths reached their ears

i see him called tad his voice sending hollow and unnatural to those above

lodged in the branches of a pinion tree i think it is but he doesn't answer me

lyge leaning over the brink was able to follow the boy's movements by the aid of the thin ark of light made by the torch in tad's hand

but from the cautious movements of the light far below them the guide understood that the lad was at work carrying out his part of the task of rescue to the best of his ability

maybe you think he's having some sort of a picnic down there eh blared lige

shall we haul up asked lie making a megaphone of his hands yes haul away

nor was the sense of security increased when in shifting his position the torch fell from his grasp the faggot scattering as a slip down between the limbs of the tree and whirling in ever diminishing circles until finally he heard them clatter on the rocks below

the pony did most of it admitted the lad i just gave him his head and that's all there was to it

walter had gone out with a second guard and the others had gathered around the camp fire for their nightly storytelling

we've got a hard drive before us and every man must be fit as a fiddle

the cowboy did this very thing but within an hour he found himself alone the others having turned in one by one

the lads found that a pair of blankets had been assigned to each of them with an ordinary wagon sheet doubled for a tarpaulin

these they spread out on the ground using boots wrapped in coats for pillows

stacy brown proved the only grumbler in the lot declaring that he could not sleep a week on such a bed as that

the horses of the outfit saved those that were on night duty and two or three others that had developed a habit of straying had been turned loose early in the evening for animals on the trail are seldom staked down

in spite of their hard couches the pony rider slept soundly even professor zeppelin himself never waking the whole night through

you won't be so fast to wake up hard working cowboys after that i reckon

lumpy bates came running toward him not daring to call out for fear of liking the camp

high there hissed blumpy filled with indignation that any one should attempt to mount a pony from the right side

keep a going and if your lucky old run plum into them was the jeering answer as the sleepy cowman spurred their ponies on toward camp muttering their disapproval of taking along a bunch of boys on a cattle drive

almost before the echoes of his voice and died away a shrill voice piped up from the tail end of the chuck wagon

who is the wrangler this morning asked the foreman glancing about at his men

he's a fellow who's all the time making trouble isn't he asked stacy innocently

pang tell the young gentleman what would become of you if you were to serve bad meals to this outfit of cowpunchers

with a shout the boys dashed palemel to meet the pack train and falling in behind the slow moving burrows urged them on with derisive shouts and sundry resounding sleps on the animal's flanks

cold water is the most nourishing thing we've touched since last night

we did not it must have come to life some time during the night and dug its way out laughed tad

and we've got a surprise for you and now stacy swelling with pride

jam exclaimed chunky stretching his neck and eyeing the dish longingly

he buried his biscuit under a layer of jam over which he spread a thick coating of honey

president brown i withdraw my criticism i offer you my humble apologies

i reckon there are smiled the guide we are in the bear country now

but i know an old settler who will lin us his dog if it is not out

supper having been finished the party gathered about the camp fire for their evening chat after which admonishing stacy to keep within his tent and not to go borrowing trouble the boys turned in for a sound sleep

as yet they had been unable to attempt any fancy writing with their ponies owing to the rugged nature of the country through which they had been journeying

the boys were now all anxiety to start while the ponies after their sunday rest were almost as full of life as were their owners

the little animals were becoming more sure footed every day and ned said that before the trip was finished jimmy would be able to walk a slack rope

an early start was bad so that the party reached the promised tableland shortly before ten o'clock in the forenoon

the great green field surrounded on all sides by tall trees made to place an ideal one for their purpose

it was a beautiful race the little indian pony seeming to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the contest stretching themselves out of their full links and with heads on a level with their backs fairly flew across the great plot of green

all agreed that ted superior horsemanship alone had won the race for him

galloping into camp the boy fetched his sombrero which he carried well out into the field and tossed away

then bidding the boys ride up near the spot to watch him he drew off some tin rods and wheeling spurred his pony to a red

grasping the pommel with the left hand he appeared to dive head first toward the ground

they saw his long hair almost brush the grass one of his hands swept down and up and once more ted butler rose standing in his strups uttering a cowboy yell as he waved us on rarrow and high

the first time he rode swiftly by it leaning over to look at the hat as he passed holding to the pommel firmly with his left hand

hat too close to me i couldn't get it explained chunky the boys roared

once more stacy approached the sombrero his pony running well and as he drew near it they saw him rise in the saddle just as tad butler had done a few minutes before

at the moment when he freed his left foot from the stirrup he threw his body sharply to the right reaching for the hat without taking the precaution to grass the pommel

as a result instead of stopping when he reached the hat the boy kept on going

here said one of their guides as the procession halted before the little stone building is the palace of tormoy who is our queen

did you suppose a palace would be like one of our handsome residences asked the woman evidently surprised

these intruders are very peculiar people remarked a man in the crowd

the people must wait outside for there is no room for them in the palace

so they followed her through the low archway and in a room beyond very simply furnished sat a young girl engaged in darning a pair of pink stockings

she was a beautiful girl of about seventeen years of age not fat like all the rest of the pinkies but slender and well formed according to our own ideas of beauty

her complexion was not a decided pink but a soft rosy tint not much deeper than that of trotskin

she smiled a little sadly at trot seemed to approve of buttonbright's open frank face and was quite surprised because cap'n bill was so much bigger than her own people

perhaps you are trying to ridicule me she continued regarding the sailor's face closely

corley do you consider majesty a proper word to use when addressing a queen

even in america everybody bows low to our president and the blueskins are so frayed of their boolooo that they trample whenever they go near em

therefore i am a mere agent to direct the laws which are the will of the people and am only a public servant obliged constantly to guard the welfare of my subjects

in that case said button bright you're entitled to the best there is to pay for your trouble

if i lived as luxuriously as my people do and had servants and costly gowns the good pinkies would say that their queen had more than they themselves and it would be true

the queen is nothing but a power to execute the laws to adjust grievances and to compel order

after my death the pink marble statue of me will be set up in the grand court with the statues of the other kings and queens who have ruled this land and all the pinkies and ages to come will then honor me as having been a just and upright queen that is my reward

a misfortune of birth placed me here and i cannot escape my fate

it is much more desirable to be a private citizen happy and care free

yes it was wet and sticky all right agreed the sailor but the big frog helped us and we got through all right

you are not like my people the pinkies and there is no place for you in our country

in all our history you are the first people from outside our borders who have ever stepped afoot in our land

we do not hate you as you say the blueskins do nor are we savage or cruel but we do not want you here and i'm really puzzled what to do with you

it was about noon when captain waverley entered the straggling village or rather hamlet of toulon close to which was situated the mansion of the proprietor

the houses seemed miserable in the extreme especially to an eye accustomed to the smiling neatness of english cottages

occasionally indeed when such a consummation seemed inevitable a watchful old grandam with her close cap distaff and spindle rushed like a sibyl and frenzy out of one of these miserable cells dashed into the middle of the path and snatching up her own charge from among the sun burnt loiterers saluted him with a sound cuff and transported him back to his dungeon the little white headed varlet screaming all the while from the very top of his lungs a shrilly treble to the growling remonstrances of the enraged matron

the evil and remedy such as it is still exist but this is remote from our present purpose and is only thrown out for consideration of the collectors under mister dent's dog bill

yet the physiognomy of the people when more closely examined was far from exhibiting the indifference of stupidity their features were rough but remarkably intelligent grave but the very reverse of stupid and from among the young women an artist might have chosen more than one model whose features and form resembled those of minerva

this avenue was straight and of moderate length running between a double row of very ancient horse chestnuts planted alternately with sycamores which rose to such huge heights and nourished so luxuriantly that their boughs completely overarched the broad road beneath

it was one of those effects which a painter loves to represent and mingled well with the struggling light which found its way between the boughs of the shady arc that vaulted the broad green alley

the house which seemed to consist of two or three high narrow and steep roofed buildings projecting from each other at right angles formed one side of the enclosure

it had been built at a period when castles were no longer necessary and when the scottish architects had not yet acquired the art of designing a domestic residence

two battlemented walls one of which faced the avenue and the other divided the court from the garden completed the enclosure

the court was spacious well paved and perfectly clean there being probably another entrance behind the stables for removing the litter

everything around appeared solitary and would have been silent but for the continued plashing of the fountain and the whole scene still maintained the monastic illusion which the fancy of waverley had conjured up

mister morton replied though far from making any claim upon his good opinion his only wish and the sole purpose of his visit was to find out the means of deserving it

evil to him that thinks otherwise said mister morton or who holds church government and ceremonies as the exclusive gauge of christian faith are moral virtue

mister morton seemed particularly struck with the account of waverley's visit to donald bean lean

when i was a young man like you mister waverley any such hair brained expedition i beg your pardon for the expression would have had inexpressible charms for me

he certainly possesses talents beyond the rude sphere in which he moves and being neither destitute of ambition nor encumbered with scruples he will probably attempt by every means to distinguish himself during the period of these unhappy commotions

mister morton then made a careful memorandum of the various particulars of waverley's interview with donald beam lean and the other circumstances which he had communicated

he had neither sympathy with my innocence nor with my wretchedness and the petrifying accuracy with which he attended to every form of civility while he tortured me by his questions his suspicions and his inferences was as tormenting as the racks of the inquisition

they held conventibles in the open fields and being treated with great violence and cruelty by the scottish government more than once took arms during those reigns

since that time their numbers have gradually diminished but a good many are still to be found in the western counties and several with a better temper than in seventeen o seven have now taken arms for government

in those very early times there was a man named ducaleon and he was the son of prometheus

after jupiter had bound prometheus on mount caucuses and had sent diseases and cares into the world men became very very wicked

these men he said to his mighty company are nothing but a source of trouble

but men kept on fighting and robbing even while the rain was pouring down and the sea was coming up over the land

no one but ducal the son of prometheus was ready for such a storm

the day is coming said prometheus when jupiter will send a flood to destroy mankind from the earth

but ducale and pyra were very sad for they knew that they were the only persons who were left alive in all the land

we should like above all things said ducale to see this land full of people once more for without neighbors and friends the world is a very lonely place indeed

go on down the mountain said mercury and as you go cast the bones of your mother over your shoulders behind you and with these words he leaped into the air and was seen no more

when at last they reached the plain they found themselves at the head of a noble company of human beings all eager deserved them

when at last the queen gave birth to a daughter the king was so overjoyed that he gave a great christening feast the like of which had never before been known

one of the young fairies overhearing her and fan seeing she might work some mischief to the little baby went and hid herself behind the hangings in the hall so as to be able to have the last word and undo any harm the old fairy might wish to work

the turn of the old fairy had now come and she declared while her head shook with malice that the princess should pierce her hand with a spindle and die of the wound

now fifteen years after the princess was born she was with the king and queen at one of their castles and as she was running about by herself she came to a little chamber at the top of a tower and there sat an honest old woman's spinning for she had never heard of the king's edic

she had no sooner taken up the spindle than being hasty and careless she pierced her hand with the point of it and fainted away

one said it was an enchanted castle another that witches lived there but most believed that it was occupied by a great ogre which carried thither all the children he could catch and ate them up one at a time for nobody could get at him through the wood

scarcely had he come to the wood when all the trees and thorns which had made such an impenetrable thicket opened on one side and the other to offer him a path

he entered a large forecord and stood still with amazement and awe

but the faces of the men were rosy and the goblets by them had a few drops of wine left

he entered the guard room there the guards stood drawn up in line with carbines at their shoulders but they were sound asleep

he passed through one apartment after another where ladies and gentlemen asleep in their chairs are standing

they talked for four hours and had not then said half that was in their heads to say

meanwhile all the rest of the people in the castle had been awakened at the same moment as the princess and they were now extremely hungry

the lady in waiting became very impatient and at length announced to the princess that they all waited for her

then the prince took the princess by the hand she was dressed in great splendor but he did not hint that she looked as he had seen pictures of his great grandmother look he thought her all the more charming for that

the violins and hoboys played old but excellent pieces of music and after supper to lose no time the grand almoner married the royal lovers and the chapel of the castle

you surely cannot suppose that in a natural state you would be forced to climb regularly up one tall bare stick such as i see you upon now

your cousin the wild convolvulus whom i left in the fields this morning does no such thing i assure you

my young plants require heat or they would not live and the pots we are kept in protect us from those cruel wire worms who delight to destroy our roots

why not allow your silver tufts to luxoriate in a natural manner

still the rose tree stood out that there must be some great advantages in a gardener's care for she could not pretend to be ignorant of her own superiority to all her wild relations and the woods

then the wind took another frolic round the garden and made up to the large white lily into whose refined ear he whispered a doubt as to the necessity or advantage of her thick powerful stem being propped up against a stupid ugly stick

did that lovely creature suppose that nature who had done so much for her that the fame of her beauty extended throughout the world had yet left her so weak and feeble that she could not support herself in the position most calculated to give her ease and pleasure

echoed the flowers tremulously as with a sort of fearful pleasure they awaited his approach

making a sort of eddying circuit round the garden he knocked over the convolvulus pole tore the strips from the stick that held up the white lily loosed all the carnation flowers from their fastenings broke the rose tree down and levelled the sweet peas to the ground

the honeysuckle escaped no better and the carnation was ready to die of vexation at finding that her coveted freedom had levelled her to the dirt

before the day closed the gardener came whistling from his farm work to look over his pretty charges

weeds meanwhile sprang up and a dreary confusion reigned in the once orderly and brilliant little garden

the mistress had returned and the young lady was with her and hurried at once to her favourite garden

in this position she remained until a gentle hand was laid upon her shoulder

i'm not thinking about the garden mamma replied the young girl without lifting up her face we can plant new flowers and tie up even some of these afresh

he gave thanks for our food and comfort and prayed for the poor and destitute in great cities where the struggle for life was harder than it was here with us

because he talked so little his words had a peculiar force they were not worn dull from constant use

at about four o'clock a visitor appeared mister shimerda wearing his rabbitskin cap in collar and new mittens his wife had knitted

he sat still and a passive his head resting against the back of the wooden rocking chair his hands relaxed upon the arms

his face had a look of weariness and pleasure like that of sick people when they feel relief from pain

he made the sign of the cross over me put on his cap and went off in the dark

they sat about the house most of the day as if it were sunday gracing their boots mending their suspenders plating whiplashes

anyway he would never allow one of his horses to be put to such a strain

i had wanted to get some picture books for yolka and antonia even yoka was able to read a little now

she cut squares of cotton cloth and we sewed them together into a book

on the white pages i grouped sunday school cards and advertising cards which i had brought from my old country

when he mounted his horse at the door i saw that he had a hatchet slung to his belt and he gave grandmother a meaning look which told me he was planning a surprise for me

he used to help my father cut christmas trees for me in virginia and he had not forgotten how much i liked them

by the time we had placed the cold fresh smelling little tree in a corner of the sitting room it was already christmas eve

from under the lining he now produced a collection of brilliantly colored paper figures several inches high and stiff enough to stand alone

i can see them now exactly as they looked working about the table in the lamplight jake with his heavy feature so rudely moulded that his face seemed somehow unfinished otto with his half ear and the savage scar that made his upper lip curl so ferociously under his twisted moustache

how infinite the wealth of love and hope garnered in these same tiny treasure houses and oh

what bankrupts in the world we feel when death like some remorseless creditor seizes on all we fondly thought our own the twins

the ghoul like fever was not to be braved with impunity and balked of its prey

the board not so formidable as she had imagined had inquired into her case and instead of sending her to stoke claypole her husband's buckinghamshire parish as she had dreaded had agreed to pay her rent

margaret met jem wilson several days after his brothers were seriously ill and heard from him the state of things at his home

she stopped with her hand on the latch of the wilson's door to still her beating heart and listened to the hushed quiet within

she opened the door softly there sat missus wilson in the old rocking chair with one sick deathlike boy lying on her knee crying without let or pause but softly gently as fearing to disturb the troubled gasping child while behind her old alice let her fast dropping tears fall down on the dead body of the other twin which she was laying out on a board placed on a sort of sofa settea in the corner of the room

over the child which yet breathed the father bent watching anxiously for some ground of hope where hope there was none

but earnest as the father was in watching the yet living he had eyes and ears for all that concerned the dead and sprang gently up and took his dead son on his hard couch in his arms with tender strength and carried him upstairs as if afraid of wakening him

her cries brought her husband down to try with his aching heart to comfort hers

mary and alice drew near the fire and stood in quiet sorrow for some time

afore christmas time i was as full as fool could be of going home for good and all youn heard how i've wished it this terrible long time

but he stayed long there and at last his sturdy frame shook with his strong agony

he did not speak as though fearing to destroy by sound or motion the happiness of that moment when her soft hands touched thrilled through his frame and her silvery voice was whispering tenderness in his ear

don't jim please don't whispered she again believing that his silence was only another form of grief

mary i almost loathe myself when i feel i would not give up this minute when my brothers lie dead and father and mother are in such trouble for all my life that's past and gone and merry as she tried to release her hand you know what makes me feel so blessed

he remained upstairs until after the early dawn showed mary that she need have no fear of going home through the deserted and quiet streets to try and get a little sleep before work hour

so leaving kind messages to george and jane wilson and hesitating whether she might dare to send a few kind words to jem and deciding that she had better not she stepped out into the bright morning light so fresh a contrast to the darkened room where death had been

her thoughts ran on jem's manner and words not but what she had known the tale they told for many a day but still she wished he had not put it so plainly

i cannot think what possesses me that i must always be wanting to comfort him when he's downcast and that i must go meddling with him to night when sure enough it was his aunt's place to speak to him

i think i cannot go right for i either check myself till i'm downright cross to him or else i speak just natural and that's too kind and tender by half

there was something of keen practical shrewdness about her which contrasted very bewitchingly with the simple foolish unworthy ideas she had picked up from the romances which miss simmond's young ladies were in the habit of recommending to each other yes

the old eleven infused years ago by her aunt ester fermented in her little bosom and perhaps all the more for her father's aversion to the rich and the gentle

it was a comfort to her when scolded by miss simmons to think of the day when she would drive up to the door in her own carriage to order her gowns from the hasty tempered yet kind dressmaker

but the best of her plans the holiest that which in some measure redeemed the vanity of the rest were those relating to her father her dear father now oppressed with care and always a disheartened gloomy person

the week following christmas brought in a thaw and by new year's day all the world about us was a broth of gray slush and the guttered slope between the windmill and the barn was running black water

it was the first time missus shimerda had been to our house and she ran about examining our carpets and curtains and furniture all the while commenting upon them to her daughter in an envious complaining tone

but you see a body never knows what traits poverty might bring out in em

mode put the flour into a large earthenware bowl or deep pan then with a strong metal or wooden spoon hollow out the middle but do not clear it entirely away from the bottom of the pan as in that case the sponge or leaven as it was formerly termed would stick to it which it ought not to do

next take either a large tablespoonful of brewer's yeast which has been rendered solid by mixing it with plenty of cold water and letting it afterwards stand to settle for a day and night or nearly an ounce of german yeast put it into a large basin and proceed to mix it so that it shall be as smooth as cream with three quarter pint of warm milk and water or with water only though even a very little milk will much improve the bread

look at it from time to time when it has been laid for nearly an hour and when the yeast has risen and broken through the flower so that bubbles appear in it you will know that it is ready to be made up into dough

then place the pan on a strong chair or dresser or table of convenient height pour into the sponge the remainder of the warm milk and water stir into it as much of the flower as you can with the spoon then wipe it out clean with your fingers and lay it aside

turn it then on to a paste board or very clean dresser and with a large sharp knife divided into make it up quickly into loaves and despatch it to the oven make one or two incisions across the top of the lose as they will rise more easily if this be done

italian millet or great indian millet is cultivated in egypt and nubia where it is called dura and is used as human food as well as for the fermentation of beer

it has been introduced into italy where they make a coarse bread from it and it is also employed in pastry and puddings they also use it for feeding horses and domestic fowls

a yellow variety called golden millet is sold in the grocer's shops for making puddings and is very delicate and wholesome

another advantage the red wheats possess is their comparative immunity from the attacks of mildu and fly

mode boil the rice in water until it is quite tender pour off the water and put the rice before it is cold to the flour

maize next to wheat and rice mazes the grain most used in the nourishment of man

if carried any distance it should be stored away in air tight vessels

some of the preparations of maize flower are very good and when partaken in moderation suitable food for almost everybody

mode let the tartaric acid and salt be reduced to the finest possible powder then mix them well with the flour

sour milk or butter milk may be used but then a little less acid will be needed

when they are quite hot divide them lengthwise into three put some thin flakes of good butter between the slices press the rolls together and put them in the oven for a minute or two but not longer or the butter would oil take them out of the oven spread the butter equally over divide the rolls in half and put them on to a very hot clean dish and send them instantly to table

never use new bread for making any kind of toast as it eats heavy and besides it is very extravagant

move it backwards and forwards until the bread is nicely colored then turn it and toast the other side and do not place it so near the fire that it blackens

a loaf of household bread about two days old answers for making toast better than cottage bread the latter not being a good shape and too crusty for the purpose

cut as many nice even slices as may be required rather more than one quarter inch in thickness and toast them before a very bright fire without allowing the bread to blacken which spoils the appearance and flavor of all toast

soyer recommends that each slice should be cut into pieces as soon as it is buttered and when all are ready that they should be piled lightly on the dish they are intended to be served on

he says that by cutting through four or five slices at a time all the butter is squeezed out of the upper ones while the bottom one is swimming in fat liquid

muffins and crumpets should always be served on separate dishes and both toasted and served as expeditiously as possible

mode put the flour into a basin mix the sugar well with it make a hole in the centre and stir in the yeast in milk which should be lukewarm with enough of the flour to make it the thickness of cream

from fifteen to twenty minutes will be required to bake them nicely

these buns may be varied by adding a few currents candied peel or caraway seeds to the other ingredients and the above mixture answers for hot cross buns by putting in a little ground all spice and by pressing a tin mould in the form of a cross in the centre of the bun

sufficient to make twelve buns seasonable at any time light buns

mode whisk the egg stir in the sugar and beat these ingredients well together beat the butter to a cream stir in the ground rice currants and candied peel and as much flour as will make it of such a consistency that it may be rolled into seven or eight balls

they should be kept in a closed tin canister in a dry place to preserve their crispness

it is not cultivated in england being principally confined to the east

when we take into account that the arabians are fond of lizards and locusts as articles of food their cuisine altogether is scarcely a tempting one

mode put the milk and butter into a saucepan and keep shaking it round until the latter is melted

when cold they should be put into tin canisters to keep them dry and if intended for the cheese course the sifted sugar should be omitted

mister quilter is the apostle of the middle classes and we are glad to welcome his gospel

he tells us that at this festive season of the year with christmas and roast beef looming before us similes drawn from eating and its results occur most readily to the mind

he has grave doubts whether sir frederick leighton's work is really greek after all and can discover in it but little of rocky ethica

linel's pictures are a sort of upgards and adam paintings and mason's exquisites are as national as a jingo poem mister bricket foster's landscapes smile at one much in the same way that mister carker used to flash his teeth and mister john collier gives his sitter a cheerful slap on the back before he says like a shampooer in a turkish bath next man

it is obviously unnecessary for us to point out how luminous these criticisms are how delicate in expression

under general principles of art mister quilter writes with equal lucidity

painting he tells us is of a different quality to mathematics and finish in art is adding more fact

he laments most bitterly the divorce that has been made between decorative art and what we usually call pictures makes a customary appeal to the last judgment and reminds us that in the great days of art michael angelo was the furnishing upholsterer

near the fire and the ornaments fred brought home from india on the mental board

in fact he is quite severe on mister ruskin for not recognizing that a picture should denote the frailty of man and remarks with pleasing courtesy and felicitous grace that many phases of feeling

mister quilter has missed his chance for he has failed even to make himself the tupper of painting

because you are sleeping instead of conquering the lovely rose princess has become a fiddle without a bow although poor shaggy sits there a cooing dove

he has gone and gone for good answered polychrome who had managed to squeeze into the room beside the dragon and had witnessed the occurrences with much interest

i have remained a prisoner only because i wished to be one and with this he stepped forward and burst the stout chains as easily as if they had been threads

the little girl had been asleep but she heard the wraps and opened the door

the king has fled in disgrace and your friends are asking for you

i begged ruggedo long ago to send him away but he would not do so

i also offered to help your brother to escape but he would not go

in fact there is nothing he can do in these dominions as well as our nomes whose numbers are so great that it worries us to keep them all busy

the middle forest is in the great domed cavern the largest in all our dominions replied calico

however if we look sharp we may be able to discover one of these secret ways

i don't believe anne knew any magic or she'd have worked it before

calico went to the big gong and pounded on it just as ruggedo used to do but no one answered the summons

having returned to the royal cavern calico first pounded the gong and then sat in the throne wearing ruggedo's discarded ruby crown and holding in his hand the sceptre which ruggedo had so often thrown at his head

sweat covered brion's body trickling into the tightlowing cloth that was the only garment he wore

the cut on his chest still dripping blood the ache of his overstrained eyes even the soaring arena around him with the thousands of spectators were trivialities not worth thinking about

his instant panic was followed by a small sharp blow high on his chest

a minute is not a very large measure of time and his body needed every fraction of it

the buzzers whirr triggered his muscles into complete relaxation

the contestants in the twenties needed undisturbed rest therefore nights and the dormitories were as quiet as death

particularly so on this last night when only two of the little cubicles were occupied the thousands of others standing with dark empty doors

the utter voice snapped with a harsh urgency clearly used to command

i am here because the matter is of utmost importance and brand is the one i must see now stand aside

he must have drawn his gun because the intruder said quickly but that a way you're being a fool out

there was silence then and still wondering brian was once more asleep

a red haired mountain of a man with an apparently inexhaustible store of energy

there could be little art in this last and final round of fencing

there appeared to be an immediate association with the death trauma as if the two were inextricably linked into one

the strength that enables someone in a trance to hold his body stiff and unsupported except at two points the head and heels

others had died before during the twenties and death during the last round was in some ways easier than defeat

breathing deeply brions softly spoke the auto hypnotic phrases that triggered the process

when the buzzer sounded he pulled his foil from his second startled grasp and ran forward

ayroll clicked amazed at the sudden fury of the attack then smiled

he thought it was the last burst of energy he knew how close they both were to exhaustion

brian saw something close to panic on his opponent's face when the man finally recognized his error

a wave of despair rolled out from irog reincessed it and knew the fifth point was his

then the powerful twist that thrusted aside in and under the guard

worse and worse he is even presumed to be the captive sweetheart who wheedles the flower the ring and the prison key out of the strict virgins for his own purposes and flies with her at last in a shallop across the sea to live with her happily ever after

lady lady my rose white lady but will you not hear around old lady

oh if you play a surround singer how can that harm the emperor's daughter

she would not speak though we danced a week with her thoughts a thousand leagues over the water singer singer wandering singer oh my honey sweet singer

but if i play you around old lady get me a gift from the emperor's daughter her finger ring for my finger bring though she's pledged a thousand leagues over the water lady lady my fair lady oh my rose white lady

but i did once have the luck to hear and see the lady played in entirety the children had been granted leave to play just one more game before bedtime and of course they chose the longest and played it without missing a syllable

the ladies in yellow dresses stand again in a ring about the emperor's daughter and are for the last time accosted by the singer with his lute

i'll play for you now neath the apple bough and you shall dream on the lawn so shady lady lady my fair lady oh my apple gold lady

now you may play a serena singer a dream of night for an apple gold lady for the fruit is now on the apple bough and the moon is up and the lawn is shady singer singer wandering singer oh my honey sweet singer

once more the singer plays in the ladies dance but one by one they fall asleep to the drowsy music and then the singer steps into the ring and unlocks the tower and kisses the emperor's daughter

it seems to me more and more as i live longer that most poetry and most literature and particularly the literature of the past is discordant with the vastness and variety the reserves and resources and recuperations of life as we live it to ⁇ day

it is the expression of life under cruder and more rigid conditions than ours lived by people who loved and hated more naively aged sooner and died younger than we do

we range wider last longer and escape more and more from intensity towards understanding

and already this astounding blow begins to take its place among other events as a thing strange and terrible indeed but related to all the strangeness and mystery of life part of the universal mysteries of despair and futility and death that have troubled by consciousness since childhood

for a time the death of mary obscured her life for me but now her living presence is more in my mind again

it was that idea of waste that dominated my mind in a strange interview i had with justin

i became grotesquely anxious to assure him that indeed she and i had been as they say innocent throughout our last day together

and it is upon this effect of sweet and beautiful possibilities caught in the net of animal jealousies and thoughtless motives and ancient rigid institutions that i would end this writing

in mary it seems to me i found both womanhood and fellowship i found what many have dreamt of love and friendship freely given and i could do nothing but clutch at her to make her my possession

she was destroyed not merely by the unconsidered undisciplined passions of her husband and her lover but by the vast tradition that sustains and enforces the subjugation of her sex

his sister and his sister's children had left him only a vague and far off memory which had finally almost completely vanished he had made every effort to find them and not having been able to find them he had forgotten them

he suffered all the pangs of a mother and he knew not what it meant for that great and singular movement of a heart which begins to love is a very obscure and a very sweet thing

only as he was five and fifty and cosette eight years of age all that might have been love in the whole course of his life flowed together into a sort of ineffable light

cosette on her side had also unknown to herself become another being poor little thing

she felt that which she had never felt before a sensation of expansion

the man no longer produced on her the effect of being old or poor she thought jean valjean handsome just as she thought the hovel pretty

nature a difference of fifty years had set a profound gulf between jean valjean and cosette destiny filled in this gulf

when these two souls perceived each other they recognized each other as necessary to each other and embraced each other closely

he had paid her six months in advance and had commissioned the old woman to furnish the chamber and dressing room as we have seen

weak followed weak these two beings led a happy life in that hovel

he passed hours in watching her dressing and undressing her doll and in listening to her prattle

he had returned to prison this time for having done right he had quaffed fresh bitterness disgust and lasitude were overpowering him even the memory of the bishop probably suffered a temporary eclipse though sure to reappear later on luminous and triumphant but after all that sacred memory was growing dim

who knows whither jean valjean had not been on the eve of growing discouraged and of falling once more

once there was a father who thought he would build for his children a beautiful home putting into it everything they could need or desire throughout their lives

the sweetest perfumes floated through the air while thousands of birds answered the music of fountains with her songs

and so through many questions and many experiments they learn at last how to use the contents of this one storehouse

the entrance is light because it opens so wide but we can see that the floor slopes downward and the way looks dark and narrow before us

walk down the sloping footpath now and be careful to keep out of the way of the little cars that are coming and going on each side of you loaded on one side and empty on the other and seeming to run up and down by themselves

look a little closer while our guide lets the light of his lamp fall upon the black wall at your side

see beneath your feet is the marking of great tree trunks lying aslant across the floor and the forms of gigantic palm leaves strode among them

here is something different rounded like a nut shell you can split off one side and behold there is the nut line snugly as does any chestnut in a spur

ferns and palms mosses and trees and animals all perfect all beautiful and yet all hidden away under this hill and turned into shining black coal now i can very well remember when i first saw a coal fire and how odd it looked to see what seemed to be burning stones

for when i was a little girl we always had logs of wood blazing in an open fireplace and so did many other people and coal was just coming into use for fuel

what should we have done if everybody had kept on burning wood to this day

these forest were of trees different in some ways from those we have now great ferns as tall as house and motes as high as little trees and palm leaves of enormous size

then the hills were piled up on top of it all but here and there some edge of a coal bed was tilted up and appeared above the ground

but by and by the wise men thought about it and said to themselves we must find out what useful purpose god may guess for we know that he does not make anything for harm only

it was only a trouble to the gas makers who had no use for it and even threw it away until some one more thoughtful than the others found out that water would not pass through it

don't you see how many uses we have found for this refused coltar

when your hands or lips are cracked and rough from the cold does your mother ever put on glisserin to heal them

fortunately will hallie was not a man in a hurry and did not use oppressive canvas or his mass would inevitably have come down

john mangles therefore hoped that the wretched hull would reach port without accident but it grieved him that his companions should have to suffer so much discomfort from the defective arrangements of the brig

their minds were so distracted at this change of rout as to be quite unhinged

much as they had been interested in his dissertation on the pompous or australia his lectures on new zealand fell on cold and indifferent ears

will hallie is a brute but i am keeping my eyes open and if the coast looks dangerous i will put the ship's head to sea again

they were not to leave it again till the tops of the wahiti ranges were lit for the first fires of day

sleep which keeps all sorrow in a bance soon weighed down their eyelids they slept in each other's arms overcome by exhaustion and prolonged watching

if it is decreed that we die to morrow let us die bravely like christian men ready to appear without terror before the supreme judge

john you have promised mary what i promised lady helena what is your plan

i believe said john that in the sight of god i have a right to fulfil that promise

my lord whichever of us survives the other will fulfil the wish of lady helena and mary grant

the gaoler may forget that he is on guard the prisoner never forgets that he is guarded

on that side descent was impossible and had it been possible the bottom was shut in by the enormous rock

wilson and albanette joined their companions and all united to dig through the wall john with his dagger the others with stones taken from the ground or with their nails while mulrady stretched along the ground watched the native guard through a crevice of the matting

did they know of the existence of the prisoners or was it some private enterprise that led to the undertaking

their fingers bled but still they worked on after half an hour they had gone three feet deep they perceived by the increased sharpness of the sounds that only a thin lair of earth prevented immediate communication

john mangles inserting the blade of his ponyard avoided the knife which not protruded above the soil but seized a hand that wielded it

but softly as the name was breathed mary grant already awakened by the sounds in the hut slipped over toward glenarvan and seizing the hand all stained with earth she covered it with kisses

my child my child murmured lady helena the savages did not kill you

in moments of deep feeling alike sudden bursts of prosperity as in darker hours man must be alone

it requires some self communion to prepare ourselves for good fortune as well as to encounter difficulty and danger and disgrace

this violent and triumphant revolution in his prospects and his fortunes was hardly yet completely comprehended by our friend ferdinand armine and when he had left a note for the generous mirabelle whose slumbers he would not disturb at this early hour even with good news he strolled along up charles street and to the park in one of those wild and joyous reveries in which we brood overcoming bliss and create a thousand glorious consequences

restless with impending joy he sauntered to the bridge and leaned over the balustrade gazing on the waters in charmed and charming vacancy

how many incidents how many characters how many feelings flitted over his memory of what sweet and bitter experience did he not chew the cud

four and twenty hours ago and he deemed himself the most miserable and forlorn of human beings and now all the blessings of the world seemed showered at his feet

the most gifted individuals in the land emulated each other in proving which entertained for him the most sincere affection

he could not flatter himself that he indeed merited such singular blessings and yet with all his faults which with him were but the consequences of his fiery youth ferdinand had been faithful to henrietta

was it not all a dream of his own creation while his eye had been fixed in abstraction on that bright and flowing river

in the present unsettled though hopeful state of affairs ferdinand would not go home

in exactly ten minutes it is in the power of every man to free himself from all the tumult of the world the pangs of love the throbs of ambition the wear and tear of play the recriminating boudoir the conspiring club the rattling hell and find himself in a sublime sylvan solitude superior to the cedars of lebanon an inferior only in extent to the chestnut forests of anatolia

through the influence of hon thomas l hammer he was admitted at west point in eighteen thirty nine

at this time grant was not taken with war and probably evinced little interest in army tactics

grant acted as mustering officer until being commissioned colonel of the twenty first illinois volunteers he took the field

indeed if ever a general deserved honor grant had won it he had opened the mississippi to navigation and had captured nearly one hundred thousand prisoners and arms

time wore away and on the ninth of april eighteen sixty five grant captured the confederate army under lee thus virtually ending the war

when his public services were finished he started in company with his wife son jessie and a few friends

his success seems to have been the outgrowth of hard study and ability to perform the most exhaustive labor without fatigue

a person would think that after a family had lived so long in a place all the neighbors would be fond of them yet it is not so

they thought the trouble came from bad bringing up or no bringing up at all

they always ate plain food and plenty of it and they never ate between meals

you would think that with six legs apiece and three joints in each leg they might walk quite fast yet they never did

they did not breathe it into their mouths or through gills but took it in through some openings in the back part of their bodies

they knew that whenever they stuck out their lower lips at the small fishes and bugs they swam away as fast as they could

indeed the lower lip of a dragonfly child might well frighten people for it is fastened on a long jointed arm like thing and has pincers on it with which it catches and holds its food

but sometimes he straightens the joint and holds his lip out before him and then its pincers catch hold of things he does this when he is hungry

sure enough there he came through the shallow water his wet back shell partly out of it and shining in the sunlight

he began to draw on his legs very very slowly and just as his great hard lower shell touched the mud the last larva crawled out under his tail

and the poor silly things ruffled up their feathers and looked miserable as only a little bird can look when it is unhappy

she popped into her new house and sat there comfortably peering out through the window slits with her sharp little eyes

and she saw all the other birds hopping about and twittering helplessly

then all the other birds chirped eagerly yes yes let us ask her to teach us

so in a great company they came fluttering hopping twittering up to the elm tree where mother magpie nestled comfortably in her new house

oh why is mother magpie dear mother megpi they cried teach us how to build our nests like yours for it is growing night and we are tired and sleepy

the magpie said she would teach them if they would be a patient diligent obedient class of little birds

she began to show them how to weave the bits of things together into nests as they should be made

and some of the birds who were attentive and careful soon saw how it was done and started nice homes for themselves

here would pigeon said mother bagpie you must place those sticks through and across criss cross criss cross so

you say you know all about it then go on and finish your nests by yourselves

and away she flew to her own cosiness in the elm tree where she was soon fast asleep forgetting all about the matter

for she had only the foundation lead chris cross as the magpie had shown her

one who writes of such an era labors under a troublesome disadvantage

in the present case that disadvantage is doubled for while the sins of the church however heinus were still such as admit of being expressed in words the sins of the heathen world against which she fought were utterly indescribable and the christian apologist is thus compelled for the sake of decency to state the church's case far more weakly than the facts deserve

not be it ever remembered that the slightest suspicion of immorality attaches either to the heroine of this book or to the leading philosophers of her school for several centuries

that divine word who is the light who lighteth every man which cometh into the world had awakened in the heart of mankind a moral craving never before felt in any strength except by a few isolated philosophers or prophets

julian's last attempt to restore paganism by imperial influence had only proved that the old faith had lost all hold upon the hearts of the masses at his death the great tide wave of new opinion rolled on unchecked and the rulers of earth were fain to swim with the stream to accept in words at least the church's laws as theirs to acknowledge a king of kings to whom even they owed homage and obedience and to call their own slaves their poorer brethren and often to their spiritual superiors

in the meanwhile the minds of men cut adrift from their ancient moorings wandered wildly over pathless seas of speculative doubt and especially in the more metaphysical and contemplative east attempted to solve for themselves the questions of man's relation to the unseen by those thousand schisms heresies and theosophies it is a disgrace to the word philosophy to call them by it on the records of which the student now gazes bewildered unable alike to count or to explain their fantasies

they brought before the minds of churchmen a thousand new questions which must be solved unless the church was to relinquish forever her claims as the great teacher and satisfier of the human soul

but the health of a church depends not merely on the creed which it professes not even on the wisdom and holiness of a few great ecclesiastics but on the faith and virtue of its individual members

tribe after tribe was crowding down to the alps and trampling upon each other on the frontiers of the empire

the huns singly their inferiors pressed them from behind with the irresistible weight of numbers italy with her rich cities and fertile lowlands beckoned them on to plunder as auxiliaries they had learned their own strength and a roman weakness a causas belly was soon found

how iniquitous was the conduct of the sons of theodosius in refusing the usual bounty by which the goths were bribed not to attack the empire the whole pent up deluge burst over the plains of italy and the western empire became from that day forth a dying idiot while the new invaders divided europe among themselves

the countless treasures which five centuries of rapine had accumulated around the capital had become the prey of men clothed in sheepskins and horse hide and the sister of an emperor had found her beauty virtue and pride of race worthily matched by those of the hard handed northern hero who led her away from italy as his captive and his bride to found new kingdoms in south france and spain and to drive the newly arrived vandals across the straits of gibraltar into the then blooming coastland of northern africa

that extraordinary reform in morals which according to salvien and his contemporaries the vandal conquerors worked in north africa availed them nothing they lost more than they gave

climate bad example in the luxury of power degraded them in one century into a race of helpless and debauched slaveholders doomed to utter extermination before the semi gothic armies of belisarius and with them vanished the last chance that the gothic races would exercise on the eastern world the same stern yet wholesome discipline under which the western had been restored to life

that wonderful metaphysic subtlety which in phrases and definitions too often unmeaning to our grosser intellect saw the symbols of the most important spiritual realities and felt that on the distinction between homose and homoiosius might hang the solution of the whole problem of humanity was set to battle in alexandria the ancient stronghold of greek philosophy with the effete remains of the very scientific thought to which it owed its extraordinary culture

to sines's most charming letters as well as to those of isidore the good abbot of pelusium i beg leave to refer those readers who wish for further information about the private life of the fifth century

i cannot hope that these pages will be altogether free from anachronisms and errors

the place seemed fragrant with all the riches of greek thought and song since the days when ptolemy philadelphus walked there with euclid and theocritus calamacus and lycophron

the room had neither carpet nor fireplace and the only movables in it were a sofa bed a table and an arm chair all of such delicate and graceful forms as may be seen on ancient vases of a far earlier period than that whereof we write

but most probably had any of us entered that room that morning we should not have been able to spare a look either for the furniture or the general effect or the museum gardens or the sparkling mediterranean beyond but we should have agreed that the room was quite rich enough for human eyes for the sake of one treasure which it possessed and beside which nothing was worth a moment glance

she has lifted her eyes off her manuscript she is looking out with kindling countenance over the gardens of the museum her ripe curling greek lips such as we never see now even among her own wives and sisters open

if they have ceased to guide nations they have not ceased to speak to their own elect

if they have cast off the vulgar herd they have not cast off hypatia

to be welcomed into the celestial ranks of the heroic to rise to the immortal gods to the ineffable powers onward upward ever through ages and through eternities till i find my home at last and vanish in the glory of the nameless and the absolute one

i to believe against the authority of porphyry himself too in evil lies and magic

how can he whose sphere lies above the stars stoop every moment to earth

ay she answered half bitterly and would that we could live without food and imitate perfectly the immortal gods

there is fruit with lentils and rice waiting for you in the next room and bread unless you despise it too much

strange that men should be content to grovel and be men when they might rise to the rank of gods

not that such a creature as that disturbs me no created thing i hope can move my equanimity but if i could stoop to hate i should hate her hate her

and her voice took a tone which made it somewhat uncertain whether in spite of all the lofty impassibility which she felt bound to possess she did not hate pelagia with a most human and mundane hatred

he had been a clerk in a banking house and was transported for embezlement though by some grave doubts as to his guilt were entertained

when the mustard bell rang and the gang broke up rufus dawes on his silent way to a separate cell observed a notable change of custom in the disposition of the new convict

i'm not to go in there says the ex bank clerk drawing back in dismay from the cloud of foul faces which lowered upon him

what is he more than anybody else said the wretched man to himself as he hugged his misery close

about dawn the next morning mister north who amongst other vagaries not approved of by his bishop had a habit of prowling about the prison at unofficial hours was attracted by a dispute at the door of the dormitory

kirkland ghastly pale bleeding with his woollen shirt torn and his blue eyes wide open with terror was clinging to the bars

very sorry your reverence but your reverence knows that i daren't do such a thing

oh you ministers of christ wolves in sheep's clothing you shall be judged for this

there's more trouble with you bloody aristocrats than enough lie quiet

have you ever been in that that place i was in last night asked kirkland

he had hardly uttered the words when the boy flung himself beneath the log

hold on to me miss nancy said the giant i'm big enough to carry double

just as he reached it however the figure of mister north rose from behind a pile of stones

kirkland jumped for the jetty missed his footing and fell into the arms of the chaplain

yes one oughtn't to leave the colony without seeing it says burgess it's worth seeing

in fact the ring leader john rex gave me his confession and i sent it to the bishop

he seems to me to be truly penitent for his offences a misguided but not a hypocritical man if my knowledge of human nature goes for anything i hope he is said north

there's no fear of him said burgess cheerily if he grows uproarious we'll soon give him a touch of the cat

i suppose severity is necessary returned meekin though to my ears a flogging sounds a little distasteful

the reverend meeken eyed his clerical brother with por the reverend meeken was not accustomed to clergymen who wore black neck ties smoked clay pipes chewed tobacco and drank neat brandy out of tumblers

so they went on to the veranda and looked down upon the lights of the prison and listened to the sea lapping the shore

by and by a short figure smoking a charout came up out of the dark and proved to be doctor macklewain who had been prevented from attending the dinner by reason of an accident to a constable at norfolk bay which had claimed his professional attention

before the two clergymen had got halfway down the steep path that led from the commandant's house to the flat on which the cottages of the doctor and chaplain were built maclean rejoined them

perhaps you'll have the goodness to allow me to be the best judge of that returned macklewain drawing up his little body to its least insignificant stature

mister meekin expressed some alarm but doctor macklewain reassured him

an impulsive gentleman said meekin to maclean as a sound of mister north's footsteps died away in the distance

unless it's a cancer in the stomach i don't know what it can be cancer in the stomach

then captain burgess cried north his pale face flushing i tell you the boy's blood will be on your head

i am a minister of god sir and i forbid you to commit this crime

north knew well that he would never dare to attempt any such act of violence but the insult stung him like the cut of a whip

show mister north out he said and go down to the barracks and tell troke that kirkland is to have a hundred lashes to morrow

it was as though he had reached the crisis of a disease which had been for days gathering force

twice he paused on the way to the sitting room and twice was he driven on by a power stronger than his will

that at all times debasing at this particular time it was infamous that a vice unworthy of any man was doubly sinful in a man of education and a minister of god in vain

in the midst of his arguments he found himself at the cupboard with a bottle at his lips in an attitude that was at once ludicrous and horrible

when we took our seats at the breakfast table it was with the feeling of being no longer looked upon as connected in any way with this case

instantly they absorbed all my attention though i dared not give them a direct look and continued to observe them only in the glass

do they still insist that miss challoner was the only person in the room with them at this time

the boys look wide awake enough but who can tell i would sooner believe that

a man was looking in from the corridor behind at the four persons we were just discussing

just an everyday detective but ambitious i suppose and quite alive to the importance of being thorough

he wants me to stand ready to obey any summons the police may send me

he appeared to know for he told me at once that he was detective gryce a man who had grown old in solving just such baffling problems as these

he gave up work some time ago i have been told my husband went on but evidently a great case still has its alarmement for him

he was late of course but when he did appear i almost forgot our usual greeting in my hurry to ask him if he had seen the evening papers

the suggestion he had laughed at was not so entirely foolish as he had been pleased to consider it

their greeting was cordial and the lines on the latter's face relaxed a little as he met the still bright eye of the man upon whose instinct and judgment so much reliance had always been placed

this is very good of you he began glancing down at the aged detectives bundled up legs and gently pushing a chair towards him

the old man's eyes shot fire and unconsciously one foot slipped to the floor

i should like to see the desk you speak of and the spot where she fell

a young fellow who had been hovering in the background at once stepped forward

this sweetwater as they called him was i have since understood one of his prodigs and more or less of a favorite

whether he got anything else it would be impossible to say from his manner as he finally sank into a chair by one of the openings and looked down on the lobby below

not till the doctor came her doctor who was happily in his office in this very building

yes mister slater the assistant manager who was in the lobby at the time says that ten minutes at least must have elapsed

it has not been running since last night or it would be full of curious people all the time hustling to get a glimpse of this place

i'll wait here till you're ready explain yourself to the lady tell her i'm an old and rheumatic invalid who has been used to asking his own questions

as her quiet figure appeared in the doorway sweetwater stole a glance at mister gryce

for some little time that is it seemed long though i believe it was not more than a minute before two men came running from the musician's gallery

miss clark started and her sweet face showed a moment's perplexity did i she queried musingly

and the glance she cast him while not meeting his eye showed that she understood the importance of the admission

the time is narrowed down to one and in that one miss clark was the only person to touch her

but vigor returned to him before he had well reached the door and he showed some of his old spirit as he thanked miss clark and turned to take the elevator

no weapon protruded from the wound nor was any found on or near her in the mezzanine what follows

she struck the blow herself and the strength of purpose which led her to do this gave her the additional force to pull the weapon out and fling it from her

it did not fall upon the floor around her therefore it flew through one of those openings into the lobby and there it either will be or has been found

he had written a number of books himself among them a history of dancing a history of costume a key to shakespeare's sonnets a study of the poetry of ernest dawson et cetera

hugh's written a delightful part for her and she's quite inexpressible

i happen to have mcconnell's box for tonight or there'd be no chance of our getting places

do you know alexander mainhal looked with perplexity up into the top of the hansom and rubbed his pink cheek with his gloved finger do you know i sometimes think of taking to criticism seriously myself

when they entered the stage box on the left the first act was well under way the sea in being the interior of a cabin in the south of ireland

as they sat down a burst of applause drew alexander's attention to the stage

of course hilda is irish their burgoynes have been stage people for generations and she has the irish voice

when she began to dance by way of showing the gossines which she had seen in the fairy rings at night the house broke into a prolonged uproar

after her dance she withdrew from the dialogue and retreated to the ditch wall back of philly's burrow where she sat singing the rising of the moon and making a wreath of primroses for her donkey

the playwright gave main hall a curious look out of his deep set faded eyes and made a wry face

he nodded curtly and made for the door dodging acquaintances as he went

sir harrytown bowed and said that he had met mister alexander and his wife in tokyo

i say sir harry the little girl's going famously to night isn't she

he bowed as the warning bell rang and mainhal whispered you know lord westmair of course the stooped man with a long gray mustache talking to lady dowl

in a moment peggy was on the stage again and alexander applauded vigorously with the rest

in the half light he looked about at the stalls and boxes and smiled a little consciously recalling with amusement sir harry's judicial frown

he leaned forward and beamed felicitations as warmly as mainhal himself when at the end of the play she came again and again before the curtain panting a little and flushed her eyes dancing and her eager nervous little mouth tremulous with excitement

it was youth and poverty and proximity and everything was young and kindly

on the last saturday in april the new york times published an account of the strike complications which were delaying alexander's new jersey bridge and stated that the engineer himself was in town and at his office on west tenth street

of course i know bartley she said at last that after this you won't owe me the least consideration but we sail on tuesday

i saw that interview in the paper yesterday telling where you were and i thought i had to see you that's all good night i'm going now

i told myself that if i were really thinking of you and not of myself a letter would be better than nothing

i've been up in canada with my bridge and i arranged not to come to new york until after you had gone

then when your manager added two more weeks i was already committed

i don't know what i ought to say but i don't believe you'd be happy truly i don't aren't you trying to frighten me

the last two days of the voyage bartley found almost intolerable

emerging at euston at half past three o'clock in the afternoon alexander had his luggage sent to the savoy and drove at once to bedford square

she blushed and smiled and fumbled his card in her confusion before she ran upstairs

a coal fire was crackling in the grate and the lamps were lit for it was already beginning to grow dark outside

she called his name on the threshold but in her swift flight across the room she felt a change in him and caught herself up so deftly that he could not tell just when she did it

she merely brushed his cheek with her lips and put a hand lightly and joyously on either's shoulder

when did you come bartley and how did it happen you haven't spoken a word

she looked at his heavy shoulders and big determined head thrushed forward like a catapult in leash

hilda watched him from her corner trembling and scarcely breathing dark shadows growing about her eyes

i am not a man who can live two lives he went on feverishly each life spoils the other

at that word deception spoken with such self contempt the color flashed back into hilda's face as suddenly as if she had been struck by a whiplash

she bit her lip and looked down at her hands which were clasped tightly in front of her

could you could you sit down and talk about it quietly bartley as if i were a friend and not someone who had to be defied

hilda's face quivered but she whispered yes i think it must have been

she pressed his hand gently in gratitude weren't you happy then at all

something of their troubling sweetness came back to alexander too

she listened intently but she heard nothing but the creaking of his chair

bartley leaned his head in his hands and spoke through his teeth

hilda sat on the arm of it and put her hands lightly on his shoulders

you see loving some one as i love you makes the whole world different

and then you came back not caring very much but it made no difference

she slid to the floor beside him as if she were too tired to sit up any longer

they also found a martian calendar the year had been divided into ten more or less equal months and one of them had been doma

bill chandler the zoologist had been going deeper and deeper into the old sea bottom of cirtis

that took the centre of interest away from archaeology and started a new burst of activity

the civilian specialists in other fields and the space force people who had been holding tape lines and making sketches and snapping cameras were all flying to lower certists to find out how much oxygen there was and what kind of life it supported

they had four or five species of what might loosely be called birds and something that could easily be classed as a reptile and a carnivorous mammal the size of a cat with bird like claws and a herbivore almost identical with the pig like thing in the big darf hulva mural and another like a gazelle with a single horn in the middle of its forehead

the daily news cast from tara showed a corresponding shift in interest at home

it was locked from the inside and we had to burn it down with the torch that's where they are

glorious standish who had dropped in for lunch was on the mezzanine fairly screaming into a radiophone extension dozen and a half of them

martha remembered the closed door on the first survey they hadn't attempted opening it

now it was burned away at both sides and lay still hot along the edges on the floor of the big office room in front

a floodlight was on in the room inside and latimer was going around looking at things while a space force officer stood by the door

so they just came in here and lit the charcoal and sat drinking together till they all fell asleep

the terran public wanted to hear about martians and if live martians couldn't be found a room full of dead ones was the next best thing

tony latimer the discoverer was beginning to cash in on his attentions to gloria and his ingratiation with sid he was always either making voice and image talks for telecast or listening to the news from the home planet

without question he had become overnight the most widely known archaeologist in history

not that i'm interested in all this for myself he disclaimed after listening to the telecast from terra two days after his discovery

so i believe i shall go back at least for a while and see what i can do

the organization of a society of martian archaeology with anthony latimer ph d the logical candidate for the chair

inside a secret rocket telemetering device was mounted on its test stand

another engineer rushed toward the door to see what was happening outside

electronic equipment cascaded from the wall shelves and a heavy duty chain hoist came loose from its overhead track plunging to the floor with a terrifying crash

then tom who had been stunned by some falling debris raised himself to a sitting position

tom's eyes focused in horror on the wreckage enveloped by still billowing dust

the sky was visible through several gaping holes in the roof which was sagging dangerously on its supporting trusses

the young inventor had just noticed his friend lying pinned beneath a heavy beam near by

we'd better not try to move him tom decided we'll get an ambulance

they picked their way through the wreckage and emerged on a scene of frightful destruction

and the only truck we had available was in that burning shed the superintendent added bitterly

within minutes tom was in charge of clearing away rubble and extricating any one who might be trapped inside the buildings

the telephone line was soon repaired and a steady stream of rescue vehicles began arriving from harkness fire trucks three ambulances and private cars driven by volunteers

mister swift came into the living room just then and told tom how worried missus swift and sandy had been

he smiled guiltily as he added but i must admit i was more than a little concerned myself

he was young no spear had touched him no poison lurked in his wine

since his birth he has been guarded so closely that the cleverest poisoners of the east could not reach him

as you well know there are ten men and ten women whose sole duty is to taste his food and wine and fifty armed warriors guard his chamber as they guard it now

the man shrugged his broad shoulders and turned back into the arabesque chamber

this man was clad in a brown camel hair robe and sandals and a green turban was on his head

not until the heavens were in the proper order could they perform this necromancy

with a long stained finger nail he mapped the constellations on the marble tiled floor

the slant of the moon presaged evil for the king of vendia the stars are in turmoil the serpent in the house of the elephant

all discarded portions of the human body still remain part of it attached to it by intangible connections

but at the urgent entreaty of the princes of kosala who loved bunda chandani he gave her a lock of his long black hair as a token of remembrance

by which a soul is drawn from its body and across gulfs of echoing space returned the man on the mat

on the dais under the golden dome the king cried out again racked by awful paroxysms

they seek to snap the silver cord that binds me to my dying body

they cluster around me their hands are talent their eyes are red like flame burning in darkness

there they strove to break the silver cord of life and thrust my soul into the body of a foul night weird their sorcery summoned up from hell ah

your cry and the grip of your fingers brought me back but i am going fast

but it is quite plain to me that all the arrangements for my wedding are going to be made by the snellings

i do not know when it is going to be but it will be either next week or the week after certainly at the earliest possible moment and i shouldn't be at all surprised to learn that all marianne's things have been already bought and perhaps some of them marked

it might just as well be some one else's wedding so unimportant is the part which i am set to play in it

i never saw people like the snellings for possessing relatives in all sorts of lines

i was persuaded that somebody besides that cousin got a profit out of marianne's engagement ring but i handed over the amount

when she heard of my engagement with mary anne she wrote and suggested that we should spend our honeymoon in her cottage or pigsty and that i should pay her rent for it

i found that as a woman of business she was beyond all my expectations

it turned out that she had a little money of her own about a hundred and thirty pounds a year

it was plain that together we should manage most comfortably delightfully in fact

a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush and it will be something to have by us

i know what mamma can afford to give and i will see if she gives it

and i will see that there is no shirking about the boys or about the girls either

i have drawn up a list of all the people who ought to give us a present and i shall tell them what they ought to give it won't be my fault if i don't get it

of course there are some people with whom you can't be perfectly plain but i shall be as plain as i can there's a way and a manner of doing that kind of thing

she has a knack of getting people to do what she wishes and to give her what she wants which is a little short of miraculous

i notice that they are generally persons who have already tendered their offerings

the fact of having given marianna wedding present seems to fill them with a feeling of rancorous acidity which to me is inexplicable

but why on that account they should pity me i altogether fail to understand

we have all been giving mary anne presents and i suppose you mister whiting have been giving her something too

and what inquired missus mcpherson has marianne given you her love

i cannot pretend to explain why except on the supposition that romance is dead at least in that circle of society in which the snellings move

as it is unless i am mistaken some of the rending will be on our side and they know it

he has given us free passes all the way to the end of our journey and all the way back again and coupons for free board and lodging at the hotel it's a wedding present

besides which we can always sell the coupons and railway passes which we don't use

i imagine there were several kinds of old fashioned christmases but it could hardly be worse than a chop in my chambers or horror of horrors at the club where my cousin lucy's notion of what she calls the festive season

the reply was written in a sprawling feminine hand it was a little vague

it appeared that the terms would be five guineas but there was no mention of the length of time which that fee would cover

there was nothing said about the sort of accommodation which would be provided nothing about the kind of establishment which was maintained or the table which was kept

now it is a remarkable thing that i have always had an extraordinary predilection for the name madge i do not know why

i have never known a madge and yet from my boyhood upward i have desired to meet one

under such circumstances she was hardly likely to be lively herself but her name was madge and it was the accident of her christian name which decided me to go

i felt quite lively myself as i mingled with the christmas crowd looking for things which might not turn out to be absolutely preposterous

it is some satisfaction for me to be able to reflect that i made it warm for the officials however cold i might have been myself

when at last i reached crofton my journey's end it turned out that the station staff consisted of a half witted individual who was stationmaster porter and clerk combined and a hoking lad who did whatever else there was to do

no one had come to meet me the village was about half a mile and hanger dean the house for which my steps were bent about four miles by the road how far it was across ploughed fields my informant did not mention

there was a trap at the boy in blunderbuss but that required fetching

when the trap did appear it looked to me uncommonly like an open spring cart

i had long been wishing that an old fashioned christmas had been completely extinct before i had thought of adventuring in quest of one

there be the door in front of you you go up three steps if you can find em

there appeared to be no knocker though whether it had been twisted off was more than i could say

presently feet were heard advancing along the passage several pairs it seemed and a light gleamed through the window over the door

the information was greeted with what sounded uncommonly like a chorus of laughter

there was a rush of retreating feet an expostulating voice then darkness again and silence

after a vast amount of unfastening the door was opened and on the threshold there stood a girl with a lighted candle in her hand

we've lost the key of the cellar and there's nothing out except water and i don't think you'd care for that

with an education which ought to have insured me an honourable standing in the world with some intelligence wit good literary and scientific knowledge and endowed with those accidental physical qualities which are such a good passport into society i found myself at the age of twenty the mean follower of a sublime art in which if great talent is rightly admired mediocrity is as rightly despised

i was compelled by poverty to become a member of a musical band in which i could expect neither esteem nor consideration and i was well aware that i should be the laughing stock of the persons who had known me as a doctor in divinity as an ecclesiastic and as an officer in the army and had welcomed me in the highest society

i felt that in my first profession as i was not blessed with the vocation necessary to it i should have succeeded only by dint of hypocrisy and i should have been despicable in my own estimation even if i had seen the purple mantle on my shoulders for the greatest dignities cannot silence a man's own conscience

besides i was of opinion that a man's profession whatever it might be ought to supply him with enough money to satisfy all his wants and the very poor pay of an officer would never have been sufficient to cover my expenses because my education had given me greater wants than those of officers in general

our scandalous proceedings often exposed us to the greatest danger

we would very often spend the whole night rambling about the city inventing and carrying into execution the most impertinent practical jokes

we did the same with physicians whom we often sent half dress to some nobleman who was enjoying excellent health

whenever we could contrive to get into a church tower we thought it great fun to frighten all the parish by ringing the alarm bell as if some fire had broken out but that was not all we always cut the bell ropes so that in the morning the churchwardens had no means of summoning the faithful to early mass

in every one of the seventy two parishes of the city of venice there is a large public house called magazino

yet there are a few private rooms which contain a table surrounded with benches in which a respectable family or a few friends can enjoy themselves in a decent way

the waiter of the magazino came to be paid and our chief gave him what was due enjoining silence under penalty of death

my readers may imagine whether we felt inclined to laugh when the charming creature bade us good night thanking us all with perfect good faith

and went on to say that the two men who had carried her off had taken her to such a place where they had an hour later been met by the other six and that they had all repaired to the two swords where they had spent an hour in drinking

there was no cowardly traitor amongst us although we were all poor but fear had its effect and our nocturnal pranks were not renewed

i picked it up and coming up to him just as he was going down the steps i handed it to him

i told him and he insisted upon my coming with him in the gondola saying that he would leave me at my house

i rubbed it with all my strength but he told me in a sort of indistinct whisper that the numbness was spreading all along the left side and that he was dying

i jumped out of the gondola and found myself on the very spot where three years before i had taught rizeta such a forcible lesson i inquired for a surgeon at the first coffee house and ran to the house that was pointed out to me

taking everything upon myself i ordered a serpent to hurry out for a physician who came in a short time and ordered the patient to be bled again thus approving the first bleeding prescribed by me

thinking i had the right to watch the sick man i settled myself near his bed to give him every care he required

they did not know who i was and did not like to ask me whilst i thought it better to preserve a modest silence

he had gambled and lost a great deal and his brother was his most bitter enemy because he was infatuated with the idea that he had tried to poison him

the physician who attended him was named terro he thought by some peculiar train of reasoning that he could cure him by applying a mecca ointment to the chest to which no one raised any objection

what extraordinary things will sometimes occur from mere chance or from the force of circumstances

unwilling to hurt his vanity by telling him that he was mistaken i took the wild resolution of informing him in the presence of his two friends that i possessed a certain numeral calculus which gave answers also in numbers to any questions i liked to put

i declared myself quite willing for it was necessary to brazen it out after having ventured as far as i had done

he wrote the question and gave it to me i read it i could not understand either the subject or the meaning of the words but it did not matter i had to give an answer

if the question was so obscure that i could not make out the sense of it it was natural that i should not understand the answer

they all asked me how long i would require to teach them the rules of my sublime calculus

not very long i answered and i will teach you as you wish although the hermit assured me that i would die suddenly within three days if i communicated my science to any one but i have no faith whatever in that prediction

they believed that through me they possessed the philosopher stone the universal panacea the intercourse with all the elementary heavenly and infernal spirits and they had no doubt whatever that thanks to my sublime science they could find out the secrets of every government in europe

but although believing fully in my oracles they were too kind hearted to think them the work of the devil and it suited their natural goodness better to believe my answers inspired by some heavenly spirit

they were not only good christians and faithful to the church but even real devotees and full of scruples

as for the eucharist transubstantiation the real presence it was all no mystery to them but palpable evidence and yet they were not jesuits

i might be told that if i had wished to follow the rules of pure morality i ought either to have declined intimate intercourse with them or to have undeceived them

besides i found it very flattering to my vanity to become the subject of the speculative chattering of empty fools who having nothing else to do and always trying to find out the cause of every moral phenomena they made with which their narrow intellect cannot understand

your apartment is ready you may send your clothes you shall have a servant a gondola at your orders my own table and ten sequins a month

you need not think of the future think only of enjoying yourself and take me as your adviser in everything that may happen to you in everything you may wish to undertake and you may be certain of always finding me your friend

i threw myself at his feet to assure him of my gratitude and embraced him calling him my father

arctic beauty and desolation with their blessings and dangers all may be found here to test the endurance and skill of adventurous climbers but far better than climbing the mountain is going around its warm fertile base enjoying its bounties like a bee circling around a bank of flowers

perhaps the profession of doing good may be full but everybody should be kind at least to himself

one blanket will be enough to carry or you may forego the pleasure and burden altogether as wood for fires is everywhere abundant

thus one saunters on and on in the glorious radiance in utter peace and forgetfulness of time

yet strange to say there are days even here somewhat dull looking when the mountain seems uncommunicative sending out no appreciable invitation as if not at home

at such time its height seems much less as if crouching and weary it were taking rest

every crystal dances responsive to the touches of the sun and the currents of sap in the growing cells of all the vegetation are ever in a vital whirl and rush and though many feet and wings are folded how many are astir

slight rain storms are likely to be encountered in a trip round the mountain but one may easily find shelter beneath well thatched trees that shed the rain like a roof

then the shining of the wet leaves is delightful and the steamy fragrance and the burst of bird song from a multitude of thrushes and finches and warblers that have nests in the chaparral

a thousand thousand voices are heard but so finely blended they seem a part of the night itself and make a deeper silence

in setting out from stratbury valley by bearing off to the north westward a few miles you may see

in approaching it its suspicious looking yellow spotted hood and watchful attitude will be likely to make you go cautiously through the bog where it stands as if you were approaching a dangerous snake

it is lined with emerald algy and mosses and shaded with alder willow and thorn bushes which give it a fine setting

it is three or four miles long and terminates at an elevation of about nine thousand five hundred feet above sea level in moraine sprinkled ice cliffs sixty feet high

the long gray slopes leading up to the glacier seemed remarkably smooth and unbroken

most of the drainage of the glacier vanishes at once in the poorest rocks to appear in springs in the distant valley and it is only in time of flood that the channel carries much water then there are several fine falls in the gorge six hundred feet or more in height

tracing this wild changing channel gorge gully or canyon the sections will show mount shasta as a huge palamcest containing the records lay upon lair of strangely contrasted events in its fiery icy history

regaining the low ground at the base of the mountain and holding on in your grand orbit you pass through a belt of juniper woods called the cedars to sheep rog at the foot of the shasta pass

here you strike the old emigrant road which leads over the low divide to the eastern slopes of the mountain

mount bremer is the most noted stronghold of the sheep in the whole shasta region

large flocks dwell here from year to year winter and summer descending occasionally into the adjacent sage plains and lava beds to feed but ever ready to take refuge in the jagged crags of their mountain at every alarm

while traveling with a company of hunters i saw about fifty in one flock

but neither the glorified woods on the one hand nor the lake on the other could at first hold the eye

then fell the gloaming making everything still more forbidding and mysterious

two or three miles farther on is the main stronghold of the modochs held by them so long and defiantly against all the soldiers that could be brought to the attack

the ducks less wary kept their places merely swimming in and out through openings in the rushes rippling the glassy water and raising spangles in their wake

they are broad rugged crevassed cloud like masses of down grinding ice pouring forth streams of muddy water as measures of the work they are doing and sculpturing the rocks beneath them very unlike the long majestic glaciers of alaska that river like go winding down the valleys through the forests to the sea

thus the shasta river issues from a large lake like spring in shasta valley and about two thirds of the volume of the mccloud gushes forth in a grand spring on the east side of the mountain a few miles back from its immediate base

should the volume of the stream where you strike it seem small then you will know that you are above the spring if large nearly equal to its volume at its confluence with the pit river then you are below it and in either case have only to fall the river up or down until you come to it

under certain conditions you may hear the roar of the water rushing from the rock at a distance of half a mile or even more or you may not hear it until within a few rods

the vivid green of the boulders beneath the water is very striking and colours the entire stream with the exception of the portions broken into foam

a splenium epilobium huchera hazel dogwood and alder make a luxurious fringe and setting and the forests of douglas spruce along the banks are the finest i have ever seen in this era

tracing rivers to their fountains makes the most charming of travels

as the life blood of the landscapes the best of the wilderness comes to their banks and not one dull passage is found in all their eventful histories

tracing the mccloud to its highest springs and over the divide to the fountains of fall river near fort crook thence down that river to its confluence with the pit on from there to the volcanic region about lasson's butte through the big meadows among the sources of the feather river and down through forests of sugar pine to the fertile plains of chico this is a glorious saunter and imposes no hardship

the ascent of lasson's butte is an easy walk and the views from the summit are extremely telling

the lofty icy shasta towering high above all seems but an hour's walk from you though the distance in an airline is about sixty miles

the big meadows lie near the foot of lasson's butte a beautiful spacious basin set in the heart of the richly forested mountains scarcely surpassed in the grandeur of its surroundings by taho

the great wilds of our country once held to be boundless and inexhaustible are being rapidly invaded and overrun in every direction and everything destructible in them is being destroyed

every landscape low and high seems doomed to be trampled and harried

against this wall was placed the green box which they were able to draw into the yard owing to the height of the gate

the placard gwynne plained the laughing man taken from its nail in the green box was hung up close to the sign of the inn

by the side of the door was constructed off hand by means of an empty barrel a box for the money taker who was sometimes phoebe and sometimes phenos

with that exception their success became so great that no mountebank memory could recall its parallel

the mary andrews and mountebanks of tarinzo field were aghast at gwynplaine

besides the small fry the swallowers of swards and the grimace makers real performances took place on the green

it took a hundred and thirty years for the name of shakespeare to penetrate from england into france

besides this he harangued like cicero as we have just seen sold his drugs attended sickness and even healed the sick

ursus was satisfied with the applause of southwark but by no means astonished

at every performance the yard of the inn transformed into a pit was filled with a ragged and enthusiastic audience

this connoisseur was suddenly fascinated and had adopted the laughing man

he did not come every evening but when he came he led the public applause grew into acclamation success rose not to the roof for there was none but to the clouds for there were plenty of them

which clouds seeing that there was no roof sometimes wept over the masterpiece of ursus

his enthusiasm caused urses to remark this man and gwynplaine to observe him

one evening ursus was in the side scene which was the kitchen door of the green box seeing master nicholas standing by him showed him this man in the crowd and asked him

at that hour there was no one in the fair ground except perhaps some reeling drunkard making staggering shadows and dark corners

in gwynplaine's evil thoughts never ripened and he had therefore no remorse

from sixteen eighty to seventeen o four a great change had taken place

this green color had succeeded in drawing attention to the carriage which was known in all the fair grounds as the green box

the astonishment with which the villagers regarded this machine was overwhelming

this was the old establishment of ursis its proportions augmented by success and improved from a wretched booth into a theatre

unknown people had worked upon his face he on the other hand had worked on his mind and behind this well executed mask he had placed all that he could have thought

some believed it to be natural others declared it to be artificial and as conjecture was added to reality everywhere at every crossroad on the journey in all the grounds of fairs and fates the crowd ran after gwynplaine

this fortune had allowed ursus who was the administrator of gwynplaine's success to have the chariot of his dreams constructed that is to say a caravan large enough to carry a theatre and to sow science and art in the highways

for these read phoebe and venus that we may conform to english pronunciation

this hut in a corner at the back to the right of the door served as bed chamber and dressing room to ursis and gwynplaine

the caravan was divided into three compartments partitioned from each other

aloft under the arch of the roof contained the scenes and on opening a trap door lamps appeared producing wonders of light

ursus was the poet of these magical representations he wrote the pieces

this opening looked for all the world like a mouth of hell in the words of the itinerant puritan preachers who turned away from it with horror

ursis was in everything in the piece in the company in the kitchen in the orchestra

had gwynplaine when a child been so worthy of attention that his face had been subjected to transmutation why not

according to all appearance industrious manipulators of children had worked upon his face

it seemed evident that a mysterious and probably occult science which was to surgery what alchemy was to chemistry had chiselled his flesh evidently at a very tender age and manufactured his countenance with premeditation

it was gwynplaine's laugh which created the laughter of others yet he did not laugh himself

all his emotions whatever they might have been augmented his strange face of joy or to speak more correctly aggravated it

the manicians believe the absolute occasionally gives way and that god himself sometimes abdicates for a time so also of the will

the whole of existence resembles a letter modified in the postcript

the joyous convulsion of laughter was as a tribute paid they submitted to it gladly but almost mechanically

besides we must remember that they had in those times means of putting patience to sleep and of suppressing all suffering only then it was called magic while now it is called anesthesia

besides this face those who had brought him up had given him the resources of a gymnast and an athlete

his hair having probably been dyed with some corrosive preparation had left it woolly and rough to the touch

its yellow bristles rather a mane than a head of hair covered and concealed a lofty brow evidently made to contain thought

the operation whatever it had been which had deprived his features of harmony and put all their flesh and to disorder had had no effect on the bony structure of his head

the federal army was concentrating at nashville there was no rest for the weary

from time to time different regiments were sent forward to do picket duty

says he i would not trust a session on his word oath or bond march i say

i soon found out that he had caught sight of the relief on the road and was afraid to shoot i quickly made up my mind

i think we must have killed a good many in the old field because we were firing all the time at the solid line as they advanced upon us

we kept falling back and firing all day and were relieved by another regiment about dark we rejoined our regiment

line of battle was formed on the north bank of stones river on the yankee side

i called lieutenant colonel fryerson's attention to the yankees and he remarked well i don't know whether they are yankees or not but if they are they will come in out of their mighty quick

we were not twenty yards off from the yankees and they were pouring the hot shot and shells right into our ranks and every man was yelling at the top of his voice cease firing you were firing on your own men cease firing you were firing on your own men

oakley collar bearer of the fourth tennessee regiment ran right up in the midst of the anky line with his colours begging his men to follow

the leaden hailstorm swept them off the field they fell back and reformed

we were at that time at least a hundred yards in advance of the brigade cheat em all the time calling upon the men to come on

i saw and felt that he was not fighting for glory but that he was fighting for his country because he loved that country and he was willing to give his life for his country and the success of our cause

as i went back to the field hospital i overtook another man walking along

he was walking along and all at once he dropped down and died without a struggle or a groan

before we arrived at the house we saw a body of yankees approaching and as we started to run back they fired upon us

this was the first big battle in which our regiment had ever been engaged

i do not pretend to tell of what command distinguished itself of heroes of blood and wounds of shrieks and groans of brilliant charges of cannon captured et cetera

about daylight on sunday morning chalmers brigade relieved gladdens

on sunday morning a clear beautiful and still day the order was given for the whole army to advance and to attack immediately

we had to pass over the ground where troops had been fighting all day

i had heard and read of battlefields seen pictures of battlefields of horses and men of cannon and wagons all jumble together while the ground was strewn with dead and dying and wounded but i must confess that i never realized the pomp and circumstance of the thing called glorious war until i saw this

i had been feeling mean all the morning as if i had stolen a sheep but when they ordered the charge was given i got happy

but as i said before reader a private soldier is but an automaton and knows nothing of what is going on among the generals and i am only giving the chronicles of little things an events that came under my own observation as i saw them then and remember them now

should you desire to find out more about the battle i refer you to history

about the time he pulled trigger a stray ball from some direction struck him in the side and he fell off dead and his horse becoming frightened galloped off dragging him through the confederate lines

i frequently thought it would be pleasant to split the difference with that mule and i would gladly have done so if i could have gotten one half of his no

mule did not desire to cross while i was trying to persuade him with a big stick a rock in his ear and a twister on his nose

so he got a large two inch rope tied one end around the mule's neck on the other to the case on and ordered the driver to whip up

the rope however was stronger than the mules no and he was finally prevailed upon by the strength of the rope to cross the creek

online taking the rope off he shook himself and seemed to say you think that you are mighty smart folks but you are a little too smart

we passed around atlanta crossed the chataci and travelled back over the same route on which we had made the arduous campaign under joe johnson

outside of these occasional reminders we could see no evidence of the desolation of the track of an invading army

we saw the united states flag flying from the ramparts and thought that yank would probably be asleep or catching lice or maybe engaged in a game of seven up

right before me i saw the long dry grass all bending toward a common center and i knew that it was an old well and that my comrade had fallen in it

i don't think his gun was loaded though because we did not hear the ball whistle

we walked over this floating bridge and soon found ourselves on the tennessee side of tennessee river

how every pulse did beat and leap and how every heart did throb with emotions of joy which seemed nearly akin to heaven when we received the glad intelligence of our onward march toward the land of promise and of our loved ones

we were inured to privations and hardships had been upon every march in every battle and every skirmish in every advance and every retreat in every victory and every defeat

he wanted to go by home and tell his wife and children good by and to get his clothes it was no go

those old soldiers had long long ago forgotten about that old law of the long gone past but jim had treasured it up in his memory lo these many years and he thought it would serve him now as it had no doubt frequently done in the past

the third day it was reported that the yankees had taken position on the murphy's borough pike

he hadn't seen anything to shoot at but he blazed away he loaded and fired the second time when they were ordered to retreat

shortly after passing one of these chapels we came suddenly upon a village which started up out of the mist and i was alarmed lest i should be made an object of curiosity or dislike

my guides however were well known and the natural politeness of the people prevented them from putting me to any inconvenience but they could not help eyeing me nor eye them

the vine grew outside many of the houses and there were some with signboards on which was painted a bottle and a glass that made me feel much at home

even on this ledge of human society there was a stunted growth of shoplets which had taken and vegetated somehow though as in an air mercantile of the bleakest

each feature was finished eyelids eyelashes and ears being almost invariably perfect

their expression was divine and as they glanced at me timidly but with parted lips and great bewilderment i forgot all thoughts of their conversion and feelings that were far more earthly

even in middle age they were still comely and the old great haired women at their cottage doors had a dignity not to say majesty of their own

i have always delighted in and reverenced beauty but i felt simply abashed in the presence of such a splendid type a compound of all that is best in egyptian greek and italian

the children were infinite in number and exceedingly merry i need hardly say that they came in for their full share of the prevailing beauty

i expressed by signs my admiration and pleasure to my guides and they were greatly pleased

the country was highly cultivated every ledge being planted with chestnuts walnuts and apple trees from which the apples were now gathering

in about four hours of walking from the time we started and after passing two or three more villages we came upon a considerable town and my guides made many attempts to make me understand something but i gathered no inkling of their meaning except that i need be under no apprehension of danger

sufficed that i found myself taken before the chief magistrate and by his orders was placed in an apartment with two other people who were the first i had seen looking anything but well unhansome

in fact one of them was plainly very much out of health and coughed violently from time to time in spite of manifest efforts to suppress it

the other looked pale and ill but he was marvellously self contained and it was impossible to say what was the matter with him

they felt my pulse they looked at my tongue they listened at my chest they felt all my muscles and at the end of each operation they looked at the chief and nodded and said something in a tone quite pleasant as though i were all right

but by and by they came to my watch which i had hidden away in the inmost pocket that i had and had forgotten when they began their search

again there was a very old carriage whose wheels in spite of rust and decay i could see had been designed originally for iron rails

we passed many cases and at last came to one in which there were several clocks and two or three old watches

if the reader will excuse me i will say nothing of my antecedents nor of the circumstances which led me to leave my native country the narrative would be tedious to him and painful to myself

it will be seen that i did not succeed in my design and that however much i may have met with that was new and strange i have been unable to reap any pecuniary advantage

i reached my destination in one of the last months of eighteen sixty eight but i dare not mention the season lest the reader should gather in which hemisphere i was

sheep and cattle were introduced and bred with extreme rapidity men took up their fifty thousand or one hundred thousand acres of country going inland one behind the other till in a few years there was not an acre between the sea and the front ranges which was not taken up and stations either for sheep or cattle were spotted about at intervals of some twenty or thirty miles over the whole country

i was to see the sheep not necessarily close at hand nor to get them in a single mob but to see enough of them here and there to feel easy that nothing had gone wrong this was no difficult matter for there were not above eight hundred of them and being all breeding use they were pretty quiet

there were a good many sheep which i knew as two or three black yews and a black lamb or two and several others which had some distinguishing mark whereby i could tell them

it is surprising how soon the eye becomes accustomed to missing twenty sheep out of two or three hundred

it was a monotonous life but it was very healthy and one does not much mind anything when one is well

so lonely and so solemn with the sad gray clouds above and no sound save a lost lamb bleating upon the mountain side as though its little heart were breaking

each must cry louder and wander farther yet may luck be with them both that they may find their own at nightfall

i had no money but if i could only find workable country i might stock it with borrowed capital and consider myself a maid man

there was no one in the whole world who had the smallest idea save those who were themselves on the other side of it if indeed there was any one at all could i hope to cross it

on my return i purposely avoided looking into it until i had sent back my last revises to the printer

then i had much pleasure in reading it but was indeed surprised at the many little points of similarity between the two books in spite of their entire independence to one another

i regret that reviewers have in some cases been inclined to treat the chapters on machines as an attempt to reduce mister darwin's theory to an absurdity

i am surprised however that the book at which such an example of the specious misuse of analogy would seem most naturally leveled should have occurred to no reviewer neither shall i mention the name of the book here though i should fancy that the hint given will suffice

but this had an effect of which i have little reason to complain for i was allowed almost to call them lifelong self receivers to their faces and they said it was quite true but that it did not matter

i must not conclude without expressing my most sincere thanks to my critics and to the public for the leniency and consideration with which they have treated my adventures

it was written in the upper rangottah district of the canterbury province as it then was of new zealand and appeared at christchurch in the press newspaper june thirteenth eighteen sixty three

i also wrote about this time the substance of what ultimately became the musical banks and the trial of a man for being in a consumption

i see for my second preface that i took the book to monsieur's chapman and hall may first eighteen seventy one and on their rejection of it under the advice of one who has attained the highest rank among living writers i let it sleep till i took it to mister troubner early in eighteen seventy two

i attribute its unlooked for success mainly to two early favorable reviews the first in the palmal gazette of april twelfth and the second in the spectator of april twentieth

the first edition of iroan sold in about three weeks i had not taken molds and as the demand was strong it was set up again immediately

i made a few further very trifling alterations before molds were taken but since the summer of eighteen seventy two as new editions were from time to time wanted they had been printed from stereos then made

i am still fairly well satisfied with those parts of iroan that were repeatedly rewritten but from those that had only a single writing i would gladly cut out some forty or fifty pages if i could

this however may not be for the copyright will probably expire in a little over twelve years

in the last communication which he had received from lady milborough she had scolded him in terms that were for her severe because he had not returned to his wife and taken her off with him to naples

and now it had come to pass that his sole remaining ally mister samuel bosle the ex policeman was becoming weary of his service

at last he sent word to say that he himself would be in england before the end of march and would see that the majesty of the law should be vindicated in his favour

in making this he had expected no success though from the energetic nature of his disposition he had made the attempt with some zeal

missus bosle was disposed to think that ladies of quality among whom madam tea was entitled in her estimation to take rank were seldom better than they ought to be and she was quite willing that her husband should earn his bread by watching the lady or the lady's lover

and had the case been brought before the judge ordinary by means of her husband's exertions she would have taken pleasure in reading every word of the evidence even though her husband should have been ever so roughly handled by the lawyers

a distinct promise of a hundred pounds was made to him if he would have the child ready to hand over to trevellian on trevellian's arrival in england

the paternal parent has a right to his infants no doubt that was bosle's law

when a married woman has followers and the husband don't go the wrong side of the post too or it ain't proved again him that he do they'll never let her have nothing to do with the children

i'll tell you what it is be exclaimed missus bosle it's my belief as he ain't quite right up here and missus bosle touched her forehead

drat em all what is it they wants they don't know what they want

trevellian had followed his letter quicker than he had intended when it was written and was now with his prime minister before his prime minister had been able to take any action on the last instruction received

but trevellian was of a different opinion and he was disgusted and revolted most unreasonably by the appearance of his minister's domestic arrangements

bosle had always waited upon him with a decent coat and a well brushed hat and clean shoes

it is very much easier for such men as mister bosle to carry decency of appearance about with them than to keep it at home

perhaps you could put on your coat and walk out with me for a few minutes said trevellian

missus bosle who well understood that business was business and that wives were not business felt no anger at this and handed her husband his best coat

bosle away from his own home out on business with his coat buttoned over his breast and his best hat in his hand was aware that he commanded respect and he could carry himself accordingly

i do not suppose that anybody will question my right to have the care of my own child said trevellian

as he went about his eyes were ever cast downwards and he walked with a quick shuffling gait and he suspected others feeling that he himself was suspected

but if you ask me my opinion why in course they've been together somewhere

and he did go away leaving bosle standing in the middle of stony walk

sir edward not wholly discouraged by the denial with which doriforth had with delicacy acquainted him still hoped for a kind reception and was so often at the house of missus horton that lord frederick's jealousy was excited and the tortures he suffered in consequence convinced him beyond a doubt of the sincerity of his affection

every time he beheld the object of his passion for he still continued his visits though not so frequently as heretofore he pleaded his cause with such ardor that miss woodley who was sometimes present and ever compassionate could not resist wishing him success

yet did the watchful miss woodley oftentimes hear a sigh escape from her unknown to herself till she was reminded of it and then a sudden blush would instantly overspread her face

night after night his sleep had been disturbed by fears for her when abroad morning after morning it had been broken by the clamour of her return

i thought miss milner you gave me your word that you would pass this evening at home

yes indeed and i believe it is right that i should keep my first promise is it not

missus horton rose from her seat moved the decanters and fruit round the table stirred the fire and came back to her seat again before another word was uttered

nor had this good woman's officious labours taken the least from the awkwardness of the silence which as soon as the bustle she had made was over returned in its full force

her hand fell motionless from that which she held she appeared motionless herself till missus horton beseeching her not to be uneasy at the treatment she had received made her tears flow as if her heart was breaking

it was not from any real cause of grief that she wept but there was a magnetic quality and tears which always attracted hers

do you think i would go answered miss milner with an eagerness that for a time suppressed her tears in contradiction to his will

miss woodley obediently sat down and though her thoughts and heart were in the chamber of her friend she never marked by one impertinent word or by one line of her face the restraint she suffered

at the usual hour mister doriforth and his ward were summoned to tea he entered with a countenance which evinced the remains of anger his eye gave testimony of his absent thoughts and though he took up a pamphlet affecting to read it was plain to discern that he scarcely knew he held it in his hand

miss woodley thought it her duty to be mute and now the jingle of a teaspoon was like a deep toned bell all was so quiet

missus horton too in the self approving reflection that she was not in a quarrel or altercation of any kind felt herself at this moment remarkably peaceful and charitable

miss woodley did not recollect herself so but was so in reality in her peace and charity were instinctive virtues accident could not increase them

he coughed drank his tea endeavor to talk but found it difficult sometimes read and in this manner near two hours were passed away when miss milner came into the room not dressed for a ball but as she had risen from dinner

dora forth read on and seemed afraid of looking up lest he should see what he could not have pardoned

after a few minutes pause and some little embarrassment on the part of missus horton at the disappointment she had to encounter from this unexpected dutiful conduct she asked miss milner if she would now have any tea

doriforth then laid the book out of his hand and by the time the servant had left the room thus began

it is often the ungrateful task of a friend to be troublesome sometimes unmannerly

forgive the duties of my office and believe that no one is half so much concerned if it robs you of any degree of happiness as i myself am

what he said he looked with so much sincerity that had she been burning with rage at his late behaviour she must have forgiven him for the regret which he so forcibly expressed

she was going to reply but found she could not without accompanying her words with tears therefore after the first attempt she desisted

on this he rose from his chair and going to her said once more show your submission by obeying me a second time to day

keep your appointment and be assured that i shall issue my commands with more circumspection for the future as i find how strictly they are complied with

master and man dismounted from their beasts and as soon as they had settled themselves at the foot of the trees sancho who had had a good noontime meal that day led himself without more ado passed the gates of sleep

but don quixote whom his thoughts far more than hunger kept awake could not close an eye and roamed in fancy to and fro through all sorts of places

at one moment it seemed to him that he was in the cave of malticinos and saw dulcinea transformed into a country wench skipping and mounting upon her shias again that the words of the sage merlin were sounding in his ears setting forth the conditions to be observed and the exertions to be made for the disenchantment of dulcena

docinea is perishing thou art living on regardless i am dying of hope deferred therefore untrust thyself with the goodwill for mine it is here in this retired spot to give thee at least two thousand lashes

seeing this sancho got up and grappling with his master he gripped him with all his might in his arms giving him a trip with the heel stretched him on the ground on his back and pressing his right knee on his chest held his hands in his own so that he could neither move nor breathe

don quixote gave his promise and swore by the life of his thoughts not to touch so much as a hair of his garments and to leave him entirely free and to his own discretion to whip himself whenever he pleased

sancho rose and removed some distance from the spot but as he was about to place himself leaning against another tree he felt something touch his head and putting up his hands encountered somebody's two feet with shoes and stockings on them

he trembled with fear and made for another tree where the very same thing happened to him and he fell a shouting calling upon don quixote to come and protect him

don quixote did so and asked him what had happened to him and what he was afraid of

sancho replied that all the trees were full of men's feet and legs

was on foot with his horse unbridled and his lance leaning against a tree and in short completely defenceless he thought it best therefore to fold his arms and bow his head and reserve himself for a more favourable occasion and opportunity

he was mounted upon a powerful horse and had on a coat of mail with four of the pistols they called patronells in that country at his waist

he saw that his choirs for so they call those who follow that trade were about to rifle sancho panza but he ordered them to desist and was at once obeyed so the girdle escaped

he saw me he paid court to me i listened to him and unknown to my father i loved him for there is no woman however secluded she may live or close she may be kept who will not have opportunities and despair for following her headlong impulses

in a word he pledged himself to be mine and i promised to be his without carrying matters any further

give me my horse and arms and wait for me here i will go in quest of this night and dead or alive i will make him keep his word plighted to so great beauty

nobody need any doubt about that said sancho for my master has a very happy knack of matchmaking it's not many days since he forced another man to marry who in the same way backed out of his provis to another maiden and if it had not been for his persecutors the enchanters changing the man's proper shape into a lackey's the said maiden would not be one this minute

they made haste to overtake them which as the party moved slowly they were able to do with these

the wounded gentleman opened his all but closed eyes and recognizing claudia said i see clearly fair and mistaken lady that it is thou that has slain me a punishment not merited or deserved by my feelings toward thee for never did i mean to nor could i wrong thee in thought or deed

it is not true then said gladia that thou were going this morning to marry leonora the daughter of the rich balvestro

on perceiving this claudia when she had convinced herself that her beloved husband was no more rent the air with her sighs and made the heavens ring with her lamentations she tore her hair and scattered it to the winds she beat her face with her hands and showed all the signs of grief and sorrow that could be conceived to come from an afflicted heart

cruel reckless woman she cried how easily wert thou moved to carry out a thought so wicked

o husband whose unhappy fate in being mine hath borne thee from the marriage bed to the grave

the servants wept claudia swooned away again and again and the whole place seemed a field of sorrow and an abode of misfortune

claudia told him she meant to go to a monastery of which an aunt of hers was a base where she intended to pass her life with a better and everlasting spouse

claudia would not on any account allow him to accompany her and thanking him for his offers as well as she could took leave of him in tears

sancho said they had but that three kerchiefs that were where three cities were missing

said one of the bystanders i have got them and they are not worth three reels

at this instant one or two of those squires who were posted as sentinels on the roads to watch who came along them and report what passed to their chief came up and said signor there is a great group of people not far off coming along the road to barcelona

what led me into it was a certain thirst for vengeance which is strong enough to disturb the quietest hearts

and if you have any desire to shorten the journey and put yourself easily in the way of salvation come with me and i will show you how to become a knight errant a calling wherein so many hardships and mishaps are encountered that if they be taken as penances they will lodge you in heaven in a

and now the squires dispatched to make the prize came up bringing with them two gentlemen on horseback two pilgrims on foot and a coach full of women with some six servants on foot and on horseback in attendance on them and a couple of mule tears whom the gentlemen had with them

the captain showed plainly the concern they felt the regent's lady was downcast and the pilgrims did not at all enjoy seeing their property confiscated

the regent's lady ordered one of her servants to give the eighty crowns that had been assessed as her share at once for the captains had already paid down there sixty

one of the squires observed in his mixture of gascon and catalan this captain of ours would make a better friar than a highwayman if he wants to be so generous another time let it be with his own property and not ours

they were all taken aback and not one of them dared to utter a word such deference did they pay him

but this power of discernment was denied them and only in after years with the loved ones of their own firesides close about them was the whole picture revealed

one dark night at the head of a score of his tribe he fell upon wabigawan's camp his object being the abduction of the princess

while the attack was successful in a way its main purpose failed

a counter attack was made upon wunga and he was driven deep into the wilderness with great loss

three days later minotaki became newsome's wife at the hudson bay post

from that hour dated one of the most sanguinary feuds in the history of the great trading company a feud which as we shall see was destined to live even unto the second generation

meanwhile two children came to bless the happy union of newsome and his lovely indian wife

the other was a girl three years younger and newsom insisted that she be called minotaki

curiously enough the blood of wabi ran almost pure to his indian forefathers while minotaki as she became older developed less of the wild beauty of her mother and more of the softer loveliness of the white race her wealth of soft jet black hair and her great dark eyes contrasting with the lighter skin of her father's blood

wabi on the other hand was an indian in appearance from his moccasins to the crown of his head swarthy sinewy and agile as a lynx and with every instinct in him crying for the life of the wild

one of newsome's chief pleasures in life had been the educating of his woodland bride and it was the ambition of both that the little minotake and her brother bereared in the ways of white children

consequently both mother and father began their education at the post they were sent to the factor school and two winters were passed in poor arthur that they might have the advantage of thoroughly equipped schools

the children proved themselves unusually bright pupils and by the time wabi was sixteen and minotaki twelve one would not have known from their manner of speech that indian blood ran in their veins

it was at about this time in their lives that the wungas became especially daring in their depredations

at last so daring did he become that the provincial government placed a price upon his head and upon those of a number of his most notorious followers

but each week added to his loneliness and his longings for minotaki and his forests

necessity had become his grim master in the following week he was going to work

a thousand plans were made a thousand adventures pictured and the mother would smile and laugh and plan with them

but in time the end of it all came and wabi went back to the princess mother to minotaki and to his forests

there were tears in the boy's eyes when they parted and the mother cried for the indian boy who was returning to his people

we shall make more money up here this winter than you could earn in detroit in three years

we will hunt wolves the country is alive with them and the government gives a bounty of fifteen dollars for every scalp taken

on the tenth of october he would meet rod at sprucewood on the black sturgeon river

there was little time to lose in making preparations and the fourth day following the receipt of wabi's letter found rod and his mother waiting for the train which was to whirl the boy into his new life

i began to enjoy the exhilarating delight of travelling a life of desire gratification and liberty

hans our extraordinary guide went first walking with a steady rapid unvarying step

our two horses with the luggage followed of their own accord without requiring whip or spur

geographers have divided it into four parts and we had to cross the southwest quarter which in the vernacular is called sudvest furding

we took our way through poor and sparse meadows which made a desperate effort every year to show a little green

i could not help smiling to see him look so big on his little horse his long legs now and then touching the ground made him look like a six footedar

snow tempest impracticable roads rocks icebergs nothing stops him

i should have a violent attack of the cramp if i were not to have some sort of exercise

here and there could be seen an isolated farm some solitary burr or icelandic house built of wood earth fragments of lava looking like beggars on the highway of life

little did i expect however the spectacle which awaited us when we reached the peninsula of sneffels where agglomerations of nature's ruins form a kind of terrible chaos

it consists simply of a few houses not what in england or germany we should call a hamlet

i took occasion to consult the map to see where garter was to be found

these sacred edifices are however very much like these people who do without watches and never miss them

to ride a resalt water upon the back of a little horse seemed to me absurd

in any case i shall trust rather to my own intelligence than theirs

at length the sturdy little pony spreading out his legs in a stiff and ludicrous attitude got from under the professor's legs and left him standing with both feet on a separate stone like the colossus of roads

he says tied replied my uncle translating the danish word for my information

i thoroughly understood and appreciated the necessity for waiting before crossing the fjord for that moment when the sea at its highest point is in a state of slack water

accustomed as i had been to the steam ferry boats of the elbe i found the long oars of the boatmen but sorry means of locomotion

on the second of the month at two in the morning our precious cargo of luggage was taken on board the good ship vulcury

my uncle was delighted for myself moody and dissatisfied i appeared almost to expect a glimpse of the ghost of hamlet

the fact is the castle is much later than the time of the heroic prince of denmark

on the eleventh day we sighted cape portland over which towered mount midrill's yokel which the weather being clear we made out very readily

nearly the whole population of the town was on foot to see us land

the fact was that scarcely any one of them but expected some goods by the periodical vessel

then without further remark he put his finger to his lips frowned darkly and descended into the small boat which awaited us

he was however but a civil servant a magistrate the governor of the island baron tramp

when therefore he addressed himself to me in the language of horace we at once came to understand one another

now harry said my uncle rubbing his hands an goes well the worst difficulty is now over

very likely i may find there some manuscripts from the hand of saknusm

though not very large it appeared not likely to be filled for centuries

i have not the slightest doubt that in high winds its red tiles were blown out to the great annoyance of the pastor and congregation

thanks to the heat of these residences grass grows on the roof which grass is carefully cut for hay

i saw but few inhabitants during my excursion but i met a crowd on the beach drying salting and loading codfish the principal article of exportation

the men appeared robust but heavy fair haired like germans but of pensive mien exiles of a higher scale in the latter of humanity than the eskimos but i thought much more unhappy since with superior perceptions they are compelled to live within the limits of the polar circle

san francisco's care free spirit was fully exemplified before the ashes of the great fire of nineteen o six were cold

thompson opened a large restaurant in o'farrell street just above fillmore and for two years or more did a thriving business his place being noted for its good cooking and its splendid service

one of his waiters phil tyson was one of the earlier ones to go back into the burne district to begin business and he opened a restaurant called the delmonty and powell street near market but it was too early for success and closed after a short career

here as well as in a number of other places one can well appreciate the colloquial definition of cabaret

here there is always good music and food well cooked and well served and always a lively crowd during the luncheon dinner and after theatre hours the room is not large but its dimensions are greatly magnified owing to the covering of mirrors which line the walls

this garish display of mirrors and elaborate decoration of ceiling in pillars gives it the appearance of the abode of saturnalia but decorum is the rule among the patrons

john tate is the presiding spirit here he having made reputation as club manager and then as manager of the cliff house

the poodle dog has a hotel attachment where one may get rooms or full apartments

if you know how to order and do not care to count the cost when you order probably the best dinner at these restaurants can be had at either blanco's or the poodle dog

the cuisine is of the best and the chefs rank at the top of their art

at the two mentioned one pays for the surroundings as well as for the food and sometimes this is worth paying for

the restaurants of the present day that approach nearest the old bohemian restaurants of prefire days of the french class are jacks in sacramento street between montgomery and kearney felix in montgomery street between clay and washington and the poodle dog bergas franks in bush street between kearney and grant avenue

in either of these restaurants you will be served with the best the market affords cooked the right way

in this same district is the mint in commercial street between montgomery and kirney streets

it is changed from what it was in the old days but is still an excellent place to dine

it is an idea that is worth while but unfortunately the proprietors depend too much on the decorative feature and too little on the food in how they serve it

the fly trap and charley's fashion the first in sooter street near kearney and the other in market near sooter serve well ⁇ cooked foods especially soup salads and fish

of course these are not the entire menus but of all the well prepared dishes these are their best

his prices are moderate and is cooking in viands of the best and will satisfy the most critical of the gourmets

at the corner of market and eddy streets is the odion down in a basement with decorations of most garish order

one can almost imagine himself in one of the famous rathskellers of old heidelberg not at the schloss of course for here you cannot look down on the vicar as it flows beneath the windows of the great winestuba on the hill

but if you really love good music that has melody and rhythm and soothing cadences go to the heidelberg in and listen to the concert which is a feature of the place every evening

we finally got him to select the one prized above all others and this is what chef scheyler gave us

to the pickle add two large onions cut in quarters two fresh carrots and about one ounce of mixed whole all spice black peppers cloves and bay leaves

then take it out of the roasting pan and put it into a castle roll after sprinkling it with two ounces of flour

put into the oven again and cooked for half an hour basting frequently with the original brine

strain the sauce through a fine colander and add a few raisins a piece of honey cake or ginger snaps and the meat of one fresh tomato

the hoffbrau however is less distinctively german as the greater number of its patrons are americans

the specialty of the hoff brow is abyllonies and they have as a feature this shellfish cooked in several ways

they also have as the chef in charge of the abylone dishes herbert formerly chef of one of the yacht clubs of the coast who claims to have the only proper recipe for making abylonies tender

under ordinary circumstances the abylone is tough and unpalatable but after the deft manipulation of herbert they are tender and make a fine dish either fried as chowder or alanuberg

in addition to abyllonies the hoffbrom makes a specialty of little oregon crow fish

never drink any hard liquors such as whiskey brandy gin or cocktails with oysters or clams as it is liable to upset you for the rest of the evening

with soup and fish serve white wines such as rhine wine suttern or white burgundy

with andres serve clarets or other red wines such as swiss bordeaux hungarian or italian wines

austrian burgundy is one of the finest wines possessing rich flavor and fine perfume other burgundies are

clarets are valued for their flavor and for their tonic properties

german wines are of lighter character and are generally termed rhine wines

sothern is a white bordeaux a strong luscious wine the best known varieties being

every elevation of the type man has hitherto been the work of an aristocratic society and so it will always be a society believing in a long scale of gradations of rank and differences of worth among human beings and requiring slavery in some form or other

the distinctions of moral values have either originated in a ruling cast pleasantly conscious of being different from the ruled or among the ruled class the slaves and dependents of all sorts

we truthful ones the nobility in ancient greece called themselves

it is obvious that everywhere the designations of moral value were at first applied to men and were only derivatively and at a later period applied to actions it is a gross mistake therefore when historians of morals start with questions like why have sympathetic actions been praised

he honours whatever he recognizes in himself such morality equals self glorification

probably a pessimistic suspicion with regard to the entire situation of man will find expression perhaps a condemnation of man together with his situation

here is the seat of the origin of the famous antithesis good and evil power and dangerousness are assumed to reside in the evil a certain dreadfulness subtlety and strength which do not admit of being despised

according to slave morality therefore the evil man arouses fear according to master morality it is precisely the good man who arouses fear and seeks to arouse it while the bad man is regarded as the despicable being

everywhere that slave morality gains the ascendency language shows a tendency to approximate the significations of the word good and stupid

or he will even say for many reasons i can delight in the good opinion of others perhaps because i love and honour them and rejoice in all their joys perhaps also because their good opinion endorses and strengthens my belief in my own good opinion perhaps because the good opinion of others even in cases where i do not share it is useful to me or gives promise of usefulness all this however is not vanity

in fact conformably to the slow rise of the democratic social order and its cause the blending of the blood of masters and slaves the original noble and rare impulse of the masters to assign a value to themselves and to think well of themselves will now be more and more encouraged and extended but it has at all times an older ampler and more radically ingrained propensity opposed to it and in the phenomenon of vanity this older propensity overmasters the younger

the most varied experience teaches it what are the qualities to which it principally owes the fact that it still exists in spite of all gods and men and has hitherto been victorious these qualities it calls virtues and these virtues alone it develops to maturity

variations whether they be deviations into the higher finer and rarer or deteriorations and monstrosities appear suddenly on the scene in the greatest exuberance and splendor the individual dares to be individual and detach himself

at this turning point of history there manifest themselves side by side and often mixed and entangled together a magnificent manifold virgin forest like upgrowth and up striving a kind of tropical tempo in the rivalry of growth and an extraordinary decay in self destruction owing to the savagely opposing and seemingly exploding egoisms which strive with one another for sun and light and can no longer assign any limit restraint or forbearance for themselves by means of the hitherto existing morality

nothing but new wise nothing but new house no common formulas any longer misunderstanding and disregard in league with each other decay deterioration and the loftiest desires frightfully entangled the genius of the race overflowing from all the cornucopias of good and bad a portentous simultaneousness of spring and autumn full of new charms and mysteries peculiar to the fresh still exhausted still unwearied corruption

danger is again present the mother of morality great danger this time shifted into the individual into the neighbor and friend into the street into their own child into their own heart into all the most personal and secret recesses of their desires and volitions

what will the moral philosophers who appear at this time have to preach

in our very democratic or rather very plebeian age education and culture must be essentially the art of deceiving deceiving with regard to origin with regard to the inherited plebeianism in body and soul

the noble soul accepts the fact of his egoism without question and also without consciousness of harshness constraint or arbitraryness therein but rather is something that may have its basis in the primary law of things if he sought a designation for it he would say it is justice itself

on this account the people of one nation understand one another better than those belonging to different nations even when they use the same language or rather when people have lived long together under similar conditions of climate soil danger requirement toil there originates therefrom an entity that understands itself namely a nation

the greater the danger the greater is the need of agreeing quickly and readily about what is necessary not to misunderstand one another in danger that is what cannot at all be dispensed with in intercourse

also in all loves and friendships one has the experience that nothing of the kind continues when the discovery has been made that in using the same words one of the two parties has feelings thoughts intuitions wishes or fears different from those of the other

whichever groups of sensations within a soul awaken most readily begin to speak and give the word of command these decide as to the general order of rank of its values and determine ultimately its list of desirable things

a man's estimates of value betray something of the structure of his soul and wherein it sees its conditions of life its intrinsic needs

profound suffering makes noble it separates one of the most refined forms of disguise is epicures along with a certain ostentatious boldness of taste which takes suffering lightly and puts itself on the defensive against all that is sorrowful and profound

the highest instinct for purity places him who is affected with it in the most extraordinary and dangerous isolation as a saint for it is just holiness the highest spiritualization of the instinct in question

occasionally too the waking call comes too late the chance which gives permission to take action when their best youth and strength for action have been used up in sitting still and how many of one just as he sprang up is found with horror that his limbs are benumbed and his spirits are now too heavy

there must be a sort of repugnance in me to believe anything definite about myself is there perhaps some enigma therein

probably but fortunately nothing for my own teeth perhaps it betrays the species to which i belong but not to myself as it is sufficiently agreeable to me but what has happened to you

i do not know he said hesitatingly perhaps the harpies have flown over my table

to suffocate with his memories to him who has the desires of a lofty and dainty soul and only seldom finds his table laid and his food prepared the danger will always be great nowadays however it is extraordinarily so

and to choose for company that roguish and cheerful vice politeness

he lives thy loss he dies from every limb mangled by thee lightnings of godhead shine from which thy darkness hath not where to hide

in flesh was raimented how he was killed and buried from the dead how he arose to life with victory and reigned in heaven how all of us shall be glorious like him whose hearts to his are wed how they who die for love of reason give hypocrites tyrants sophists all who sell their neighbours ill for holiness to hell how the dead saint condemns the bad who live how all he does becomes a law for men how he at last to judge shall come again

this world's thick vapours whelm your eyes unworthy of that glorious show blind his splendour bent upon his shame

money is false and light unless it be bought by a man's own worthy qualities and blood is such that its corrupt disease and ignorant pretence are foul to see

the people is a beast of muddy brain that knows not its own force and therefore stands loaded with wood and stone the powerless hands of a mere child guided with bit and rain one kick would be enough to break the chain but the beast fears and what the child demands it does nor its own terror understands confused and stupefied by bugbear's vein

that penance hath no blame which magdalen found sweet purging our shame self punishment is virtue all men know

organ of wrought not reason is the lord who from the body politic doth drain lost for himself instead of toil and pain leaving us lena's crickets on dry sward

well too if he like love would filch our horde with pleasure to ourselves sluicing our vein and vigour to perpetuate the strain of life by spilt of life within us

heaven help that body which a little mind housed in a head lacking ear's tongue and eyes in senseless but for smell can tyrannize

thou like arctirus steadfast in the skies with tardy scents guidest thy kingdom fair bearing alone the load of liberty

he translated at an early age chiefly between eighteen forty five and eighteen forty nine a great number of poems by the italians contemporary with dante or preceding him and among other things he made a version of the whole vitanova prose and verse

this book in its original form was received with favor and settled the claim of rosetti to rank as a poetic translator or indeed as a poet in his own right

the life blood of rhythmical translation is this commandment that a good poem shall not be turned into a bad one

the only true motive for putting poetry into a fresh language must be to endow a fresh nation as far as possible with one more possession of beauty

poetry not being an exact science literality of rendering is altogether secondary to this chief law

often would he avail himself of any special grace of his own idiom and epoch if only his will belong to him often would some cadence serve him but for his author's structure some structure but for his author's cadence often the beautiful turn of astanza must be weakened to adopt some rhyme which will tally and he sees the poet revelling an abundance of language where himself is scantly supplied

and if you have time it would be a great service to translate the analyses of the poem which i omitted

on january twenty fifth he wrote many a many thanks for a most essential service most thoroughly performed

my notes which you have taken the trouble of revising are of course quite paltry and useless

it is therefore and on all accounts unnecessary to say much more of the work here than it says for itself

throughout the vitanova there is a strain like the first falling murmur which reaches the ear in some remote meadow and prepares us to look upon the sea

a word should be said here of the title of dante's autobiography

this has induced some editors of the vitanua to explain the title as meaning early life

thereafter this sonnet bread and me desired to write down and verse four other things touching my condition the which things it seemed to me that i had not yet made manifest

which thing being thus there came a day when certain ladies to whom it was well known they having been with me at divers times in my trouble were met together for the pleasure of gentle company

but when i still spake not one of them who before had been talking with another addressed me by my name saying to what end lovest thou this lady seeing that thou canst not support her presence

and now that it hath pleased her to deny me this love my master of his great goodness hath placed all my beatitude there where my hope will not fail me

then those ladies began to talk closely together and as i have seen snow fall among the rain so was their talk mingled with sighs

and i declare that when i speak thereof love shed such perfect sweetness over me that if my courage failed not certainly to him my listeners must be all resigned

whatever her sweet eyes are turned upon spirits of love do issue thence in flame which through their eyes who then may look on them pierce to the hard steep chamber every one

to her i wend along in whose much strength my weakness is made strong

so to the road thou shalt be reconciled and find the lady and with the lady love

in the third i say what it is i purpose to speak so as not to be impeded by faint heartedness

and the fourth repeating to whom i purpose speaking i tell the reason why i speak to them

in the second i tell what is understood of her on earth here my lady is desired

the second part is divided into two for in the first i speak of her as regards the nobleness of her soul relating some of her virtues proceeding from her soul in the second i speak of her as regards the nobleness of her body narrating some of her beauties here love saith concerning her

this second part is divided into two for in the one i speak of the eyes which are the beginning of love in the second i speak of the mouth which is the end of love

and at the first it seemed to me that i saw certain faces of women with their hair loosened which caught out to me thou shalt surely die after the which other terrible unknown appearances said unto me thou art dead

and so strong was my fantasy that i wept again in very truth and said with my true voice o excellent soul how blessed is he that now looketh upon thee

whereby other ladies who were about the room becoming aware of my discomfort by reason of the moan that she made who indeed was of my very near kindred led her away from where i was and then set themselves to awaken me thinking that i dreamed and saying sleep no longer and be not disquieted

when being aroused i opened mine eyes and knew that it had been a deception

and my hue was such that they looked at each other and thought of death saying under their breath most tenderly o let us comfort him then unto me what dream was thine that it hath shaken thee so much

and therewithal such a bewilderment possessed me that i shut mine eyes for peace and in my brain did cease order of thought and every healthful thing

then saw i many broken hinted sights in the uncertain state i stepped into

the second part begins here i was a thinking the first part divides into two

this lady's right name was joan but because of her comeliness or at least it was so imagined she was called of many brimavera spring and went by that name among them

and in his speech he laughed and laughed again then while it was his pleasure to remain i chanced to look the way he had drawn near and saw the ladies joan and beatrice approached me this the other following one in a second marvel instantly

the second part begins here saying be now the third here then while it was his pleasure

long pepper this is the produce of a different plant from that which produces the black it consisting of the half ripe flowerheads of what naturalists call piper longum and

originally the most valuable of these were found in the spice islands or moluccas of the indian ocean and were highly prized by the nations of antiquity

the long pepper is less aromatic than the black but its oil is more pungent

then add the yolks of the eggs well beaten stir them to the sauce but do not allow it to boil and serve very hot

mode pare and slice the cucumbers as for the table sprinkle well with salt and let them remain for twenty four hours strain off the liquor pack in jars a thick layer of cucumbers and salt alternately tie down closely and when wanted for use take out the quantity required

mode choose the greenest cucumbers and those that are most free from seeds put them in strong salt and water with a cabbage leaf to keep them down tie a paper over them and put them in a warm place till they are yellow then wash them and set them over the fire in fresh water with a very little salt and another cabbage leaf over them cover very closely but take care they do not boil

put the sugar with one quarter pint of water in a saucepan over the fire remove the scum as it rises and add the lemon peel and ginger with the outside scraped off when the syrup is tolerably thick take it off the fire and when cold wipe the cucumbers dry and put them in

solid rocks of salt are also found in various parts of the world and in the country of chester contains many of these mines and it is from there that much of our salt comes

some springs are so highly impregnated with salt as to have received the name of brine springs and are supposed to have become so by passing through the salt rocks below ground and thus dissolving a portion of this mineral substance

beat the eggs stir to them the milk and pounded sugar and put the mixture into a jug

place the jug in a saucepan of boiling water keep stirring well until it thickens but do not allow it to boil or it will curdle

the lemon this fruit is a native of asia and is mentioned by virgil as an antidote to poison

it is hardier than the orange and as one of the citron tribe was brought into europe by the arabians

the lemon was first cultivated in england in the beginning of the seventeenth century and is now often to be found in our greenhouses

this juice which is called citric acid may be preserved in bottles for a considerable time by covering it with a thin stratum of oil

seasonable this should be made about easter as at this time eggs are plentiful and cheap

a store of pickled eggs will be found very useful and ornamental in serving with many first and second course dishes

the ginger plant known to naturalists as zingibur offician ali is a native of the east and west indies

in jamaica it flowers about august or september fading about the end of the year

beat the yolks of the other two eggs add them with a little flour and salt to those pounded mix all well together and roll into balls

boil them before they are put into the soup or other dish they may be intended for

mode put the whole of the ingredients into a bottle and let it remain for a fortnight in a warm place occasionally shaking up the contents

they ought to be taken up in the autumn and when dried in the house we'll keep till spring

add the wine and if necessary a seasoning of cayenne when it will be ready to serve

note the wine in this sauce may be omitted and an onion sliced and fried of a nice brown substituted for it

various dishes are frequently ornamented and garnished with its graceful leaves and these are sometimes boiled in soups although it is more usually confined in english cookery to the macro sauce as here given

pound well and bind with one or two eggs which have been previously beaten and strained

it is a native of portugal and when its leaves are used as a seasoning herb they have an agreeable aromatic flavor

mode mix all the ingredients well together carefully mincing them very finely beat up the egg moisten with it and work the whole very smoothly together

now beat and strain the eggs work these up with the other ingredients and the force meat will be ready for use

boil for five minutes mince it very small and mix it with the other ingredients

if it should be in an unsound state it must be on no account made use of

other sweet herbs are cultivated for purposes of medicine and perfumery they are most grateful both to the organs of taste and smelling and to the aroma derived from them is due in great measure the sweet and exhilarating fragrance of our flowery meads

it will be well to state in the beginning of this recipe that french force meat or canals consist of the blending of three separate processes namely panadta utter and whatever meat you intend using panada

place it over the fire keep constantly stirring to prevent its burning and when quite dry put in a small piece of butter

put the utter into a stew pan with sufficient water to cover it let it stew gently till quite done when take it out to cool

when the three ingredients are properly prepared pound them altogether in a mortar for some time for the more canals are pounded the more delicate they are

if the quinels are not firm enough add the yolk of another egg but omit the white which only makes them hollow and puffy inside

any one with the slightest pretensions to refined cookery must in this particular implicitly follow the example of our friends across the channel

the fat they are fried and should be clear and the crumbs should not have the slightest appearance or taste of having been in the least degree burnt

when quite crisp dip one side of the sippet into the beaten white of an egg mixed with a little flour and place it on the edge of the dish

continue in this manner till the border is completed arranging the sippits a pale and a dark one alternately

mode cut up the onion and carrot into small rings and put them into a stewpan with the herbs mushrooms bay leaf clobes and mace add the butter and simmer the whole very gently over a slow fire until the onion is quite tender

her meeting with letty was indescribably tender and the days that followed were pretty equally divided between her and her brother in nursing the one and loving the other

but even while she enjoyed every hour of life and begrudged the time given to sleep she felt as if the dream was too beautiful to last and often said

so christie turned to daffier to her prophetic soul and gave herself up to the blissful holiday that had come at last

nothing can surprise me now i'm prepared for anything even the sight of my quakerish lover dancing a jake

i feel like a boy out of school or rather a man out of prison and must enjoy my liberty in some way

i'm not a talker you know and as the laws of gravitation forbid my soaring aloft anywhere i can only express my joyfully uplifted state of mind by prancing as you call it

i don't want you to i love to see you so young and happy only you are not the old david and i've got to get acquainted with the new one

i hope you'll like him better than the frost bitten old david you first knew and were kind enough to love

mother says i've gone back to the time before we lost letty and i sometimes feel as if i had

in that case you will find me a proud impetuous ambitious fellow christie and how will that suit

excellently i like pride of your sort impetuosity becomes you for you have learned to control it if need be and the ambition is best of all

then they went back to their work little dreaming as they tied roses and twine simulax wreaths how near that other chance was how soon they were to be called upon to keep their promise and how well each was to perform the part given them in life and death

to no home in the land did the great trouble bring a more sudden change than the little cottage in the lane

david was sober enough now and went about his work with a grim set to his lips and a spark in his eyes that made the three women look at one another pale with unspoken apprehension

david held it close in both of his saying gratefully thank you mother then fixing his eyes on the younger yet not dearer women he added with a ring in his voice that made their hearts answer with a prompt ay ay in spite of love or fear

the boys bless their brave hearts have done nobly but older men are needed now we cannot sacrifice all the gallant lads and we who have more to lose than they must take our turn and try to do as well

yes david sister in sweetheart answered bravely forgetting in the fervour of the moment what heavy consequences god might see fit to send good

bennett will take the garden and the greenhouse off my hands this autumn for a year or longer if i like

he's a kind neighbourly man and his boy will take my place about the house and protect you faithfully

i knew you would go i saw you getting ready and i made up my mind to follow

you will let me do it and in return i will marry you whenever you ask me answered christie sealing the promise with a kiss that silenced him

you've something to tell me i see it in your face dear i must go

next evening as missus sterling sat alone in the twilight a tall man in army blue entered quietly stood watching the tranquil figure for a moment then went and knelt down beside it saying with a most unsolderly choke in the voice

the loyal frenzy fell upon the three quiet women and they could not do too much for their country

it would have taken many knapsacks to hold all the gifts showered upon him by his friends and neighbors

finding that lysia share the little enthusiasm on the subject she tried to rouse him by patriotic appeals of various sorts

very well said missus wilkins resolutely to herself if i can't make no impression on his soul i will on his stomach and see how that'll work

we can't afford no nice fiddles now when our men are suffering so

he was not as unmoved as he seemed by the general excitement and had felt sundry manly impulses to up and atom when his comrades in the shop discussed the crisis with ire full brandishing of all's and vengeful pounding of sole leather as if the rebels were under the hammer

to say that the fish rose at once and swallowed the bait hook and all but feebly expresses the justice done to the cakes by that long suffering man

can you remember what hepsey told us and call them poor long suffering creator's names

and the inconsistent woman fell upon his buttony breast weeping copiously

his wife fed him with the fat of the land regardless of consequences his children revolved about him with tireless curiosity and wonder his neighbors flocked in to applaud advise and admire every one treated him with a respect most grateful to his feelings he was an object of interest and with every hour his importance increased so that by night he felt like a commander in chief and bore himself accordingly

then the good soul openly shouldered the burton she had borne so long in secret and bravely trudged on alone

the women dropped their work to look and listen for his visits were few and short and every instant was precious

they knew what it was without a word missus stirling clasped her hands and bowed her head

we will what can i do for you davy asked christie wonderfully supported by the thought that she was going to

as a married woman you will get on better as my wife you will be allowed to come to me if i need you and as my he stopped here for he could not add as my widow you will have my pension to support you

nothing can part us any more not even death for love like ours will last for ever

then they stood quite still for a time and in the silence the two hearts talked together in the sweet language no tongue can utter

surely i shall if i give you and myself to the cause and i do it gladly though i know that my heart has got to ache as it never has ached yet when my courage fails as it will by and by and my selfish soul counts the cost of my offering after the excitement is over

david caught the exultation and gave no further thought to anything but the duty of the hour finding himself stronger and braver for that long look and to the illuminated face of the woman he loved

the roses are for they remind me of poor helen and the first work i did with david was arranging flowers like these for a dead baby's little coffin

but i think few broad stress with a braver happier heart than mine though i do choose this over wedding gown answered christie smiling again as she took from a half packed trunk her new hospital suit of soft gray woolen stuff

you young folks take a wedding trip to the greenhouse while we see how well we can get on without you

david and christie went smiling away together and if they shed any tears over the brief happiness no one saw them but the flowers and they loyally kept the secret folded up in their tender hearts

a very simple little marriage feast but more love good will and tender wishes adorned the plain table than is often found at wedding breakfasts and better than any speech her song was letty's broken whisper as she folded her arms round david's empty chair when no one saw her heaven bless and keep and bring him back to us

all watched with quickened breath and proud souls that living wave blew below and bright with a steely glitter above as it flowed down the street in a way to join the sea of dauntless hearts that for months had rolled up against the south and ebbed back reddened with the blood of men like these

to carry the sound of the little bells upon the horse cars as they tingled in and out of hearing was as pleasing as it was novel

yet the original wares to common eyes a very different expression

not balaclava nor the alma saw such fighting it was the duel to the death

that night i stood guard under an oak tree on the battle field among the unburied dead

presently against one of those banks i saw a sort of shed thatched with the same wine coloured grass that grew everywhere

you're getting altogether too upset about these programs stop it and behave yourself

at best they can only interpret the mind of the profit and can have no objective value

when he rose painfully the thrusting ford of his skinny groping hand deformed by gouty swellings suggested the effort of a morrid murderer summoning all his remaining strength for a last

his vision of truth had grown so intense that the sound of his strange voice failed to rot it this time

the disdainful pout of comrade osipin's thick lips accentuated the negro type of his face

the caparison occurred to mister reluct because he had satisfied various army horses in his time and had now the sensation of an incipient fall

but in less than five minutes the staircase groaned beneath an extraordinary wait

davernye rushed towards the old man and made him inhale a powerful restorative

it was something terrible to witness the silent agony the mute despair of motier whose tears silently rolled on his cheeks

notier was near the bed pale motionless and silent as the corpse

but with full ravagement the hours of prime singing received they in the midst of leaves that ever bore a burden to their rhymes

thou mayest me remember where and what prosopina that moment was when lost her mother her and she herself the spring

between hersteps and mine were not a hundred when equally the margins gave a turn in such a way that to the east i faced

at best they can only interpret the mind of the prophet and can have no objective value

michaelis the ticket of leave apostle was speaking in an even voice a voice that wheezed as if deadened and oppressed by the layer of fat on his chest

with his elbow presenting no appearance of a joint but more like a bend in a dummy's limb thrown over the back of a chair he leaned forward slightly over his short and enormous thighs to spit into the grate

when he rose painfully the thrusting forward of a skinny groping hand deformed by gouty swellings suggested the effort of a moribund murderer summoning all his remaining strength for a last stab

the old terrorist turned slowly his head on his skinny neck from side to side

ah he did not depend upon emotional excitement to keep up his belief no declamations no anger no visions of blood red flags waving or metaphorical lurid suns of vengeance rising above the horizon of a doomed society not he

a harsh laugh from comrade ossipon cut the tirade dead short in a sudden faltering of the tongue and a bewildered unsteadiness of the apostle's mildly exalted eyes

alexander ossipon got up tall in his threadbare blue serge suit under the low ceiling shook off the stiffness of long immobility and strolled away into the kitchen down two steps to look over stevie's shoulder

you would call that lad a degenerate would you mumbled mister verloc

michaelis the ticket of leave apostle smiled vaguely with his glued lips his pasty moon face drooped under the weight of melancholy assent

you don't understand he began disdainfully but stopped short intimidated by the dead blackness of the cavernous eyes in the face turned slowly towards him with a blind stare as if guided only by the sound

his vision of truth had grown so intense that the sound of a strange voice failed to rout it this time

the coals in the grate settled down with a slight crash and michaelis the hermit of visions in the desert of a penitentiary got up impetuously

the disdainful pout of comrade ossipon's thick lips accentuated the negro type of his face

stevie swallowed the terrifying statement with an audible gulp and at once as though it had been swift poison sank limply in a sitting posture on the steps of the kitchen door

there are natures too to whose sense of justice the price exacted looms up monstrously enormous odious oppressive worrying humiliating extortionate intolerable those are the fanatics

loafing was all very well for these fellows who knew not mister vladimir and had women to fall back upon whereas he had a woman to provide for

these were but few and for the first time since he opened his shop he took a commercial survey of its value

the light thrown down by the shade fell dazzlingly on the white pillow sunk by the weight of her head reposing with closed eyes and dark hair done up in several plaits for the night

the comparison occurred to mister reloct because he had satisfied various army horses in his time and had now the sensation of an incipient fall

down below in the quiet narrow street measured footsteps approached the house then died away unhurried and firm as if the passer by had started to pace out all eternity from gas lamp to gas lamp in a night without end and the drowsy ticking of the old clock on the landing became distinctly audible in the bedroom

that poor boy is in a very excited state to night she murmured after a pause which lasted for three ticks of the clock

if i had known they were coming tonight i would have seen it that he went to bed at the same time i did

if i had known they were coming to night i would have seen to it that he went to bed at the same time i did

he was out of his mind with something he overheard about eating people's flesh and drinking blood what's the good of talking like that

he glared at me as if he didn't know who i was when he went down stairs

he glared at me as if he didn't know who i was when i went downstairs

i wish he had never been to school missus verloc began again brusquely

at this moment the whole soul of the old man seemed centred in his eyes which became bloodshot the veins of the throat swelled his cheeks and temples became purple as though he was struck with epilepsy nothing was wanting to complete this but the utterance of a cry

and the cry issued from his pores if we may thus speak a cry frightful in its silence

d'avrigny rushed towards the old man and made him inhale a powerful restorative

d'avrigny unable to bear the sight of this touching emotion turned away and villefort without seeking any further explanation and attracted towards him by the irresistible magnetism which draws us towards those who have loved the people for whom we mourn extended his hand towards the young man

oh you rave sir exclaimed villefort in vain endeavoring to escape the net in which he was taken i rave

noirtier looked upon morrel with one of those melancholy smiles which had so often made valentine happy and thus fixed his attention

gentlemen he said in a hoarse voice give me your word of honor that this horrible secret shall forever remain buried amongst ourselves the two men drew back

morrel suffered an exclamation of horror and surprise to escape him

it was something terrible to witness the silent agony the mute despair of montier whose tears silently rolled on his cheeks

it was something terrible to witness the silent agony the mute despair of noirtier whose tears silently rolled down his cheeks

d'avrigny said villefort be so kind i beseech you as to accompany this gentleman here is the key of the door so that you can go in and out as you please you will bring the priest with you and will oblige me by introducing him into my child's room do you wish to see him

the good supreme sole in itself delighting created man good and this goodly place gave him as hansel of eternal peace

these standards to the rearward longer were than was my sight and as it seemed to me ten paces were the outermost apart

not only rome with no such splendid car e'er gladdened africanus or augustus but poor to it that of the sun would be

in rear of all the group here treated of two old men i beheld unlike in habit but like in gait each dignified and grave

and when the car was opposite to me thunder was heard and all that folk august seemed to have further progress interdicted

and one of them as if by heaven commissioned singing veni sponsa de libano shouted three times and all the others after

dante because virgilius has departed do not weep yet do not weep yet awhile for by another sword thou need'st must weep

but by the largess of celestial graces which have such lofty vapours for their rain that near to them our sight approaches not

a laudable regard for the honor of the first proselyte has countenanced the belief the hope the wish that the ebionites or at least the nazarenes were distinguished only by their obstinate perseverance in the practice of the mosaic rites

their churches have disappeared their books are obliterated their obscure freedom might allow a latitude of faith and the softness of their infant creed would be variously moulded by the zeal or prudence of three hundred years

the son of a virgin generated by the ineffable operation of the holy spirit was a creature without example or resemblance superior in every attribute of mind and body to the children of adam

nor could it seem strange or incredible that the first of these aeons the logos or word of god of the same substance with the father should descend upon earth to deliver the human race from vice and error and to conduct them in the paths of life and immortality

but the rashness of these concessions has encouraged a milder sentiment of those of the docetes who taught not that christ was a phantom but that he was clothed with an impassible and incorruptible body

a foetus that could increase from an invisible point to its full maturity a child that could attain the stature of perfect manhood without deriving any nourishment from the ordinary sources might continue to exist without repairing a daily waste by a daily supply of external matter

when the messiah was delivered into the hands of the jews the christ an immortal and impassible being forsook his earthly tabernacle flew back to the pleroma or world of spirits and left the solitary jesus to suffer to complain and to expire

under the tuition of the abbot serapion he applied himself to ecclesiastical studies with such indefatigable ardor that in the course of one sleepless night he has perused the four gospels the catholic epistles and the epistle to the romans

ardent in the prosecution of heresy cyril auspiciously opened his reign by oppressing the novatians the most innocent and harmless of the sectaries

without any legal sentence without any royal mandate the patriarch at the dawn of day led a seditious multitude to the attack of the synagogues

such crimes would have deserved the animadversion of the magistrate but in this promiscuous outrage the innocent were confounded with the guilty and alexandria was impoverished by the loss of a wealthy and industrious colony

the zeal of cyril exposed him to the penalties of the julian law but in a feeble government and a superstitious age he was secure of impunity and even of praise

orestes complained but his just complaints were too quickly forgotten by the ministers of theodosius and too deeply remembered by a priest who affected to pardon and continued to hate the praefect of egypt

a rumour was spread among the christians that the daughter of theon was the only obstacle to the reconciliation of the prefect in the archbishop and that obstacle was speedily removed

a wandering tribe of the blemmyes or nubians invaded his solitary prison in their retreat they dismissed a crowd of useless captives but no sooner had nestorius reached the banks of the nile than he would gladly have escaped from a roman and orthodox city to the milder servitude of the savages

even the chance of successfully confiding her to bennydeck's protection had lost something of its fair promise since randal's visit to sydenham

considerations of delicacy seemed to forbid taking this liberty even with an intimate friend

what happier future could await her especially if she justified randal's past experience of all that was candid and truthful in her character than to become his friend's wife

he added sydney's address in a postscript and dispatched his letter that evening

not having heard from captain bennydeck for some little time randal thought it desirable in sydney's interests to make inquiries at his club

this alternative in the captain's plans terminating the voyage a month earlier than his arrangements had contemplated puzzled randal

randall waited while in london on the chance that benedect might pay him a visit

randal waited a while in london on the chance that bennydeck might pay him a visit

randal wrote to accept the invitation determining to present himself before the appointed hour and to question catherine privately without giving her the advantage over him of preparing herself for the interview

he mentioned the name of one of the old servants at mount morven who had attached himself to randal after the breakup of the family

on the next day but one randal arranged his departure for sydenham so as to arrive at the hotel an hour before the time appointed for the dinner

but if these newspaper people waited to find out whether a report is true or false how much gossip would society get in its favorite newspapers

when he and i happened to be left together he naturally wondered after having seen the beautiful wife where the lucky husband might be

that will do missus presty your defense is thoroughly worthy of your conduct in all other respects

it was a relief to randal in the present state of catherine's relations toward bennydeck to return to london without having seen his friend

arrived at the station randal found that he must wait for the train

it was silent because all speech is of necessity feeble and imperfect therefore the souls of my ancestors ascended to god in wordless adoration

that solitary communion with the unseen which was the highest expression of our religious life is partly described in the word bambeday literally mysterious feeling which has been variously translated fasting and dreaming

from the sun as the universal father proceeds the quickening principle in nature and in the patient and fruitful womb of our mother the earth are hidden embryos of plants and men

nothing of the marvelous could astonish him as that a beast should speak or the sun stand still

but to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man

the men blacken their faces and widows or bereaved parents sometimes gash their arms and legs till they are covered with blood

as a special mark of respect the body of a young woman or a warrior was sometimes laid out in state in a new teepee with the usual household articles and even with a dish of food left beside it not that they supposed the spirit could use the implements or eat the food but merely as a last tribute

it is well known that the american indian had somehow developed occult power and although in the latter days there have been many impostors and allowing for the vanity and weakness of human nature it is fair to assume that there must have been some even in the old days yet there are well attested instances of remarkable prophecies and other mystic practice

no doubt many predictions have been colored to suit the new age and unquestionably false prophets fakirs and conjurers have become the pest of the tribes during the transition period

there are many trustworthy men and men of christian faith to vouch for these and similar events occurring as foretold

at another time when i was fourteen years old we had just left fort ellis on the assiniboine river and my youngest uncle had selected a fine spot for our night camp

her hands should have been full of bluebells and she should have held them up to his face in maidenly defence as he sprang forward to take her in his arms

a shock of unbelievable relief tingled through her so that was all what was it compared with her fears

so he enlisted and went to south africa and he never came home covered with medals and glory which was rather his idea to the few simple words of explanation that would have made all straight and repaid her and him for all the past

the young man drew a deep breath of relief and lighted the wax candles in the solid silver candlesticks on his writing table for now the late summer dusk was falling and that organ please heaven made full the measure of the day's appointed torture

let me think he said oh how glad i am that you happened to come this way

the lady and the guitar certainly passed the night at hill view villa but when his mother very angry and very frightened came up with him at about noon the house looked just as usual and no one was there but the charwoman

it was plain that his castanet girl his mother and sister took a pleasure in crediting her daily with some fresh and unpleasing instrument could have had neither taste money nor honesty to such a point as this

when she said good night to beenie and went to her chamber over that where the loved parent and friend would fall asleep no more she felt as if she went walking along to her tomb

at the time mary had noted nothing of these things now she saw them all as for the first time in minute detail while slowly she went up the stair and through the narrowed ways and heard the same wind that raved alike about the new grave and the old house into which latter for all the bales banked against the walls it found many a chink of entrance

when she opened the door of it the bright fire which beenie undesired had kindled there startled her the room looked unnatural uncanny because it was cheerful

it was a summer night and the guests were wandering in and out at will and through house and garden amid lovely things of all colors and odors

she entered and the servants soft footed and silent were busy carrying away the vessels of hospitality and restoring order as if already they prepared for another company on the morrow no one heeded her

the smoke itself which had formed a vast cloud over harbor forts and city was now drifting out to sea leaving all things etched sharply in the dazzling sunlight of a southern spring day

but he looked back at charleston the gay the volatile and the beautiful with real affection

it was afternoon when he reached the little station of winton and left the train a tall sturdy boy the superior of many a man in size strength and agility

one winter evening as soon as his work was over for the day joseph locked the door of his smithy washed himself well put on clean clothes and taking his violin set out for testbridge mary was expecting him to tea

he laid down his violin and seated himself where mary told him in her father's arm chair by the fire

hast thou yet to learn that the love of the human is love is divine is but a lower form of a part of the love of god

he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen how shall he love god whom he hath not seen

that enchantment had possessed him usurping as it were the throne of his life and displacing it when it ceased he was not his own master

don't move around lie perfectly still warned the guide are you hurt

and that tumble's enough to knock the sense out of a full grown man

i could not think of allowing any of my charges to take so terrible a risk and

i am the one to go after walt if any one has to i'll go down mister thomas

master tad is right decided the guide gazing at the two boys approvingly

cautiously placing a hand against the rocks to steady himself tad wisely concluded that hereafter it would not pay to be too curious

slowly but steadily the slender line was paid out amid a tense silence on the part of the little group at the top of the canyou

i see him called tad his voice standing hollow and unnatural to those above

i see him called tad his voice sounding hollow and unnatural to those above

lodged in the branches of a pinyon tree i think it is but he doesn't answer me

lige leaning over the brink was able to follow the boy's movements by the aid of the thin arc of light made by the torch in tad's hand

mebby you think he's having some sort of a picnic down there eh glared lige

shall we haul up asked lige making a megaphone of his hands yes haul away

nor was his sense of security increased when in shifting his position the torch fell from his grasp the fagots scattering as they slipped down between the limbs of the tree and whirling in ever diminishing circles until finally he heard them clatter on the rocks below

walter had gone out with the second guard and the others had gathered around the camp fire for their nightly story telling

stacy brown proved the only grumbler in the lot declaring that he could not sleep a wink on such a bed as that

in spite of their hard couches the pony riders slept soundly even professor zepplin himself never waking the whole night through

lumpy bates came running toward him not daring to call out for fear of waking the camp

hi there hissed lumpy filled with indignation that anyone should attempt to mount a pony from the right side

keep a going and if you're lucky you'll run plumb into them was the jeering answer as the sleepy cowmen spurred their ponies on toward camp muttering their disapproval of taking along a bunch of boys on a cattle drive

almost before the echoes of his voice had died away a shrill voice piped up from the tail end of the chuck wagon

pong tell the young gentlemen what would become of you if you were to serve bad meals to this outfit of cowpunchers

with a shout the boys dashed pell mell to meet the pack train and falling in behind the slow moving burros urged them on with derisive shouts and sundry resounding slaps on the animals flanks

and we've got a surprise for you announced stacy swelling with pride

but i know an old settler who will lend us his dog if it is not out

an early start was bad so that the party reached the promised table land shortly before ten o'clock in the forenoon

an early start was made so that the party reached the promised table lands shortly before ten o'clock in the forenoon

the great green field surrounded on all sides by tall trees made the place an ideal one for their purpose

it was a beautiful race the little indian ponies seeming to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the contest stretching themselves out to their full lengths and with heads on a level with their backs fairly flew across the great plot of green

all agreed that tad's superior horsemanship alone had won the race for him

then bidding the boys ride up near the spot to watch him he drew off some ten rods and wheeling spurred his pony to a run

they saw his long hair almost brush the grass one of his hands swept down and up and once more tad butler rose standing in his stirrups uttering a cowboy yell as he waved the sombrero on high

once more stacy approached the sombrero his pony running well and as he drew near it they saw him rise in his saddle just as tad butler had done a few minutes before

here said one of their guides as the procession halted before the little stone building is the palace of tourmaline who is our queen

her complexion was not a decided pink but a soft rosy tint not much deeper than that of trot's skin

she smiled a little sadly at trot seemed to approve button bright's open frank face and was quite surprised because cap'n bill was so much bigger than her own people

coralie do you consider majesty a proper word to use when addressing a queen

even in america ever'body bows low to our president an the blueskins are so fraid o their boolooroo that they tremble whenever they go near him

the queen has nothing but the power to execute the laws to adjust grievances and to compel order

after my death a pink marble statue of me will be set up in the grand court with the statues of the other kings and queens who have ruled this land and all the pinkies in ages to come will then honor me as having been a just and upright queen that is my reward

yes it was wet an sticky all right agreed the sailor but the big frog helped us an we got through all right

in all our history you are the first people from outside our borders who have ever stepped a foot in our land

we do not hate you as you say the blueskins do nor are we savage or cruel but we do not want you here and i am really puzzled what to do with you

it was about noon when captain waverley entered the straggling village or rather hamlet of tully veolan close to which was situated the mansion of the proprietor

occasionally indeed when such a consummation seemed inevitable a watchful old grandam with her close cap distaff and spindle rushed like a sibyl in frenzy out of one of these miserable cells dashed into the middle of the path and snatching up her own charge from among the sunburnt loiterers saluted him with a sound cuff and transported him back to his dungeon the little white headed varlet screaming all the while from the very top of his lungs a shrilly treble to the growling remonstrances of the enraged matron

this avenue was straight and of moderate length running between a double row of very ancient horse chestnuts planted alternately with sycamores which rose to such huge height and nourished so luxuriantly that their boughs completely over arched the broad road beneath

it was one of those effects which a painter loves to represent and mingled well with the struggling light which found its way between the boughs of the shady arch that vaulted the broad green alley

the house which seemed to consist of two or three high narrow and steep roofed buildings projecting from each other at right angles formed one side of the inclosure

two battlemented walls one of which faced the avenue and the other divided the court from the garden completed the inclosure

mister morton replied that far from making any claim upon his good opinion his only wish and the sole purpose of his visit was to find out the means of deserving it

evil to him that thinks otherwise said mister morton or who holds church government and ceremonies as the exclusive gage of christian faith or moral virtue

mister morton then made a careful memorandum of the various particulars of waverley's interview with donald bean lean and the other circumstances which he had communicated

they held conventicles in the open fields and being treated with great violence and cruelty by the scottish government more than once took arms during those reigns

in those very early times there was a man named deucalion and he was the son of prometheus

after jupiter had bound prometheus on mount caucasus and had sent diseases and cares into the world men became very very wicked

no one but deucalion the son of prometheus was ready for such a storm

but deucalion and pyrrha were very sad for they knew that they were the only persons who were left alive in all the land

we should like above all things said deucalion to see this land full of people once more for without neighbors and friends the world is a very lonely place indeed

when at last they reached the plain they found themselves at the head of a noble company of human beings all eager to serve them

one of the young fairies overhearing her and fancying she might work some mischief to the little baby went and hid herself behind the hangings in the hall so as to be able to have the last word and undo any harm the old fairy might wish to work

now fifteen years after the princess was born she was with the king and queen at one of their castles and as she was running about by herself she came to a little chamber at the top of a tower and there sat an honest old woman spinning for she had never heard of the king's edict

he entered a large forecourt and stood still with amazement and awe

he passed through one apartment after another where were ladies and gentlemen asleep in their chairs or standing

meanwhile all the rest of the people in the castle had been wakened at the same moment as the princess and they were now extremely hungry

then the prince took the princess by the hand she was dressed in great splendour but he did not hint that she looked as he had seen pictures of his great grandmother look he thought her all the more charming for that

the violins and haut boys played old but excellent pieces of music and after supper to lose no time the grand almoner married the royal lovers in the chapel of the castle

why not allow your silver tufts to luxuriate in a natural manner

still the rose tree stood out that there must be some great advantages in a gardener's care for she could not pretend to be ignorant of her own superiority to all her wild relations in the woods

at about four o'clock a visitor appeared mister shimerda wearing his rabbit skin cap and collar and new mittens his wife had knitted

they sat about the house most of the day as if it were sunday greasing their boots mending their suspenders plaiting whiplashes

i had wanted to get some picture books for yolka and antonia even yolka was able to read a little now

i had wanted to get some picture books for yulka and antonia even yulka was able to read a little now

i can see them now exactly as they looked working about the table in the lamplight jake with his heavy features so rudely moulded that his face seemed somehow unfinished otto with his half ear and the savage scar that made his upper lip curl so ferociously under his twisted mustache

the ghoul like fever was not to be braved with impunity and baulked of its prey

she stopped with her hand on the latch of the wilsons door to still her beating heart and listened to the hushed quiet within

she opened the door softly there sat missus wilson in the old rocking chair with one sick death like boy lying on her knee crying without let or pause but softly gently as fearing to disturb the troubled gasping child while behind her old alice let her fast dropping tears fall down on the dead body of the other twin which she was laying out on a board placed on a sort of sofa settee in a corner of the room

afore christmas time i was as full as full could be of going home for good and all yo han heard how i've wished it this terrible long time

he did not speak as though fearing to destroy by sound or motion the happiness of that moment when her soft hand's touch thrilled through his frame and her silvery voice was whispering tenderness in his ear

don't jem please don't whispered she again believing that his silence was only another form of grief

mary i almost loathe myself when i feel i would not give up this minute when my brothers lie dead and father and mother are in such trouble for all my life that's past and gone and mary as she tried to release her hand you know what makes me feel so blessed

he remained up stairs until after the early dawn showed mary that she need have no fear of going home through the deserted and quiet streets to try and get a little sleep before work hour

i cannot think what possesses me that i must always be wanting to comfort him when he's downcast and that i must go meddling wi him to night when sure enough it was his aunt's place to speak to him

there was something of keen practical shrewdness about her which contrasted very bewitchingly with the simple foolish unworldly ideas she had picked up from the romances which miss simmonds young ladies were in the habit of recommending to each other yes

the old leaven infused years ago by her aunt esther fermented in her little bosom and perhaps all the more for her father's aversion to the rich and the gentle

it was a comfort to her when scolded by miss simmonds to think of the day when she would drive up to the door in her own carriage to order her gowns from the hasty tempered yet kind dressmaker

next take either a large tablespoonful of brewer's yeast which has been rendered solid by mixing it with plenty of cold water and letting it afterwards stand to settle for a day and night or nearly an ounce of german yeast put it into a large basin and proceed to mix it so that it shall be as smooth as cream with three quarters pint of warm milk and water or with water only though even a very little milk will much improve the bread

look at it from time to time when it has been laid for nearly an hour and when the yeast has risen and broken through the flour so that bubbles appear in it you will know that it is ready to be made up into dough

then place the pan on a strong chair or dresser or table of convenient height pour into the sponge the remainder of the warm milk and water stir into it as much of the flour as you can with the spoon then wipe it out clean with your fingers and lay it aside

turn it then on to a paste board or very clean dresser and with a large sharp knife divide it in two make it up quickly into loaves and dispatch it to the oven make one or two incisions across the tops of the loaves as they will rise more easily if this be done

italian millet or great indian millet is cultivated in egypt and nubia where it is called dhourra and is used as human food as well as for the fermentation of beer

a yellow variety called golden millet is sold in the grocers shops for making puddings and is very delicate and wholesome

another advantage the red weeds possess is their comparative immunity from the attacks of mildu and fly

another advantage the red wheats possess is their comparative immunity from the attacks of mildew and fly

maize next to wheat and rice maize is the grain most used in the nourishment of man

sour milk or buttermilk may be used but then a little less acid will be needed

never use new bread for making any kind of toast as it eats heavy and besides is very extravagant

move it backwards and forwards until the bread is nicely coloured then turn it and toast the other side and do not place it so near the fire that it blackens

cut as many nice even slices as may be required rather more than one quarter inch in thickness and toast them before a very bright fire without allowing the bread to blacken which spoils the appearance and flavour of all toast

mode put the flour into a basin mix the sugar well with it make a hole in the centre and stir in the yeast and milk which should be lukewarm with enough of the flour to make it the thickness of cream

these buns may be varied by adding a few currants candied peel or caraway seeds to the other ingredients and the above mixture answers for hot cross buns by putting in a little ground allspice and by pressing a tin mould in the form of a cross in the centre of the bun

they should be kept in a close tin canister in a dry place to preserve their crispness

linnell's pictures are a sort of up guards and at em paintings and mason's exquisite idylls are as national as a jingo poem mister birket foster's landscapes smile at one much in the same way that mister carker used to flash his teeth and mister john collier gives his sitter a cheerful slap on the back before he says like a shampooer in a turkish bath next man

on the general principles of art mister quilter writes with equal lucidity

he laments most bitterly the divorce that has been made between decorative art and what we usually call pictures makes the customary appeal to the last judgment and reminds us that in the great days of art michael angelo was the furnishing upholsterer

in fact he is quite severe on mister ruskin for not recognising that a picture should denote the frailty of man and remarks with pleasing courtesy and felicitous grace that many phases of feeling

because you were sleeping instead of conquering the lovely rose princess has become a fiddle without a bow while poor shaggy sits there a cooing dove

the little girl had been asleep but she heard the raps and opened the door

the metal forest is in the great domed cavern the largest in all our dominions replied kaliko

i don't believe ann knew any magic or she'd have worked it before

kaliko went to the big gong and pounded on it just as ruggedo used to do but no one answered the summons

having returned to the royal cavern kaliko first pounded the gong and then sat in the throne wearing ruggedo's discarded ruby crown and holding in his hand the sceptre which ruggedo had so often thrown at his head

sweat covered brion's body trickling into the tight loincloth that was the only garment he wore

the cut on his chest still dripping blood the ache of his overstrained eyes even the soaring arena around him with thousands of spectators were trivialities not worth thinking about

his instant of panic was followed by a small sharp blow high on his chest

the buzzer's whirr triggered his muscles into complete relaxation

the contestants in the twenties needed undisturbed rest therefore nights in the dormitories were as quiet as death

i'm here because the matter is of utmost importance and brandd is the one i must see now stand aside

he must have drawn his gun because the intruder said quickly put that away you're being a fool out

there was silence then and still wondering brion was once more asleep

breathing deeply brian softly spoke the auto hypnotic phrases that triggered the process

when the buzzer sounded he pulled his foil from his second's startled grasp and ran forward

ayroll looked amazed at the sudden fury of the attack then smiled

airol looked amazed at the sudden fury of the attack then smiled

irolg looked amazed at the sudden fury of the attack then smiled

he thought it was a last burst of energy he knew how close they both were to exhaustion

brion saw something close to panic on his opponent's face when the man finally recognized his error

a wave of despair rolled out from irolg brion sensed it and knew the fifth point was his

then the powerful twist that thrust it aside in and under the guard

worse and worse he is even presumed to be the captive's sweetheart who wheedles the flower the ring and the prison key out of the strict virgins for his own purposes and flies with her at last in his shallop across the sea to live with her happily ever after

lady lady my rose white lady but will you not hear a roundel lady

o if you play us a roundel singer how can that harm the emperor's daughter

she would not speak though we danced a week with her thoughts a thousand leagues over the water singer singer wandering singer o my honey sweet singer

but if i play you a roundel lady get me a gift from the emperor's daughter her finger ring for my finger bring though she's pledged a thousand leagues over the water lady lady my fair lady o my rose white lady

but i did once have the luck to hear and see the lady played in entirety the children had been granted leave to play just one more game before bed time and of course they chose the longest and played it without missing a syllable

i'll play for you now neath the apple bough and you shall dream on the lawn so shady lady lady my fair lady o my apple gold lady

now you may play a serena singer a dream of night for an apple gold lady for the fruit is now on the apple bough and the moon is up and the lawn is shady singer singer wandering singer o my honey sweet singer

once more the singer plays and the ladies dance but one by one they fall asleep to the drowsy music and then the singer steps into the ring and unlocks the tower and kisses the emperor's daughter

it seems to me more and more as i live longer that most poetry and most literature and particularly the literature of the past is discordant with the vastness and variety the reserves and resources and recuperations of life as we live it to day

and already this astounding blow begins to take its place among other events as a thing strange and terrible indeed but related to all the strangeness and mystery of life part of the universal mysteries of despair and futility and death that have troubled my consciousness since childhood

week followed week these two beings led a happy life in that hovel

he had returned to prison this time for having done right he had quaffed fresh bitterness disgust and lassitude were overpowering him even the memory of the bishop probably suffered a temporary eclipse though sure to reappear later on luminous and triumphant but after all that sacred memory was growing dim

walk down the sloping foot path now and be careful to keep out of the way of the little cars that are coming and going on each side of you loaded on one side and empty on the other and seeming to run up and down by themselves

see beneath your feet is the marking of great tree trunks lying aslant across the floor and the forms of gigantic palm leaves strewed among them

here is something different rounded like a nut shell you can split off one side and behold there is the nut lying snugly as does any chestnut in its bur

these forests were of trees different in some ways from those we have now great ferns as tall as this house and mosses as high as little trees and palm leaves of enormous size

fortunately will halley was not a man in a hurry and did not use a press of canvas or his masts would inevitably have come down

their minds were so distracted at this change of route as to be quite unhinged

much as they had been interested in his dissertation on the pampas or australia his lectures on new zealand fell on cold and indifferent ears

they were not to leave it again till the tops of the wahiti ranges were lit with the first fires of day

sleep which keeps all sorrow in abeyance soon weighed down their eyelids they slept in each other's arms overcome by exhaustion and prolonged watching

wilson and olbinett joined their companions and all united to dig through the wall john with his dagger the others with stones taken from the ground or with their nails while mulrady stretched along the ground watched the native guard through a crevice of the matting

their fingers bled but still they worked on after half an hour they had gone three feet deep they perceived by the increased sharpness of the sounds that only a thin layer of earth prevented immediate communication

john mangles inserting the blade of his poniard avoided the knife which now protruded above the soil but seized the hand that wielded it

this violent and triumphant revolution in his prospects and his fortunes was hardly yet completely comprehended by our friend ferdinand armine and when he had left a note for the generous mirabel whose slumbers he would not disturb at this early hour even with good news he strolled along up charles street and to the park in one of those wild and joyous reveries in which we brood over coming bliss and create a thousand glorious consequences

restless with impending joy he sauntered to the bridge and leant over the balustrade gazing on the waters in charmed and charming vacancy

in exactly ten minutes it is in the power of every man to free himself from all the tumult of the world the pangs of love the throbs of ambition the wear and tear of play the recriminating boudoir the conspiring club the rattling hell and find himself in a sublime sylvan solitude superior to the cedars of lebanon and inferior only in extent to the chestnut forests of anatolia

here would pigeon said mother bagpie you must place those sticks through and across criss cross criss cross sew

here wood pigeon said mother magpie you must place those sticks through and across criss cross criss cross so

and away she flew to her own cosy nest in the elm tree where she was soon fast asleep forgetting all about the matter

for she had only the foundation laid criss cross as the magpie had shown her

in the present case that disadvantage is doubled for while the sins of the church however heinous were still such as admit of being expressed in words the sins of the heathen world against which she fought were utterly indescribable and the christian apologist is thus compelled for the sake of decency to state the church's case far more weakly than the facts deserve

julian's last attempt to restore paganism by imperial influence had only proved that the old faith had lost all hold upon the hearts of the masses at his death the great tide wave of new opinion rolled on unchecked and the rulers of earth were fain to swim with the stream to accept in words at least the church's laws as theirs to acknowledge a king of kings to whom even they owed homage and obedience and to call their own slaves their poorer brethren and often too their spiritual superiors

they brought before the minds of churchmen a thousand new questions which must be solved unless the church was to relinquish for ever her claims as the great teacher and satisfier of the human soul

the huns singly their inferiors pressed them from behind with the irresistible weight of numbers italy with her rich cities and fertile lowlands beckoned them on to plunder as auxiliaries they had learned their own strength and roman weakness a casus belli was soon found

the countless treasures which five centuries of rapine had accumulated round the capitol had become the prey of men clothed in sheepskins and horse hide and the sister of an emperor had found her beauty virtue and pride of race worthily matched by those of the hard handed northern hero who led her away from italy as his captive and his bride to found new kingdoms in south france and spain and to drive the newly arrived vandals across the straits of gibraltar into the then blooming coast land of northern africa

that extraordinary reform in morals which according to salvian and his contemporaries the vandal conquerors worked in north africa availed them nothing they lost more than they gave

climate bad example and the luxury of power degraded them in one century into a race of helpless and debauched slave holders doomed to utter extermination before the semi gothic armies of belisarius and with them vanished the last chance that the gothic races would exercise on the eastern world the same stern yet wholesome discipline under which the western had been restored to life

that wonderful metaphysic subtlety which in phrases and definitions too often unmeaning to our grosser intellect saw the symbols of the most important spiritual realities and felt that on the distinction between homoousios and homoiousios might hang the solution of the whole problem of humanity was set to battle in alexandria the ancient stronghold of greek philosophy with the effete remains of the very scientific thought to which it owed its extraordinary culture

the place seemed fragrant with all the riches of greek thought and song since the days when ptolemy philadelphus walked there with euclid and theocritus callimachus and lycophron

but most probably had any of us entered that room that morning we should not have been able to spare a look either for the furniture or the general effect or the museum gardens or the sparkling mediterranean beyond but we should have agreed that the room was quite rich enough for human eyes for the sake of one treasure which it possessed and beside which nothing was worth a moment's glance

in fact the ringleader john rex gave me his confession and i sent it to the bishop

the reverend meekin eyed his clerical brother with horror the reverend meekin was not accustomed to clergymen who wore black neckties smoked clay pipes chewed tobacco and drank neat brandy out of tumblers

so they went on to the verandah and looked down upon the lights of the prison and listened to the sea lapping the shore

by and by a short figure smoking a cheroot came up out of the dark and proved to be doctor macklewain who had been prevented from attending the dinner by reason of an accident to a constable at norfolk bay which had claimed his professional attention

before the two clergymen had got half way down the steep path that led from the commandant's house to the flat on which the cottages of the doctor and chaplain were built macklewain rejoined them

mister meekin expressed some alarm but doctor macklewain re assured him

an impulsive gentleman said meekin to macklewain as the sound of mister north's footsteps died away in the distance

show mister north out he said and go down to the barracks and tellke that kirkland is to have a hundred lashes to morrow

he mixed a teaspoonful of this in a pannikin of water and drank it

in the midst of his arguments he found himself at the cupboard with the bottle at his lips in an attitude that was at once ludicrous and horrible

he gave up work some time ago i have been told my husband went on but evidently a great case still has its allurement for him

this is very good of you he began glancing down at the aged detective's bundled up legs and gently pushing a chair towards him

for some little time that is it seemed long though i believe it was not more than a minute before two men came running from the musicians gallery

miss clarke started and her sweet face showed a moment's perplexity did i she queried musingly

the time is narrowed down to one and in that one miss clarke was the only person to touch her

but vigour returned to him before he had well reached the door and he showed some of his old spirit as he thanked miss clarke and turned to take the elevator

he had written a number of books himself among them a history of dancing a history of costume a key to shakespeare's sonnets a study of the poetry of ernest dowson et cetera

do you know alexander mainhall looked with perplexity up into the top of the hansom and rubbed his pink cheek with his gloved finger do you know i sometimes think of taking to criticism seriously myself

when they entered the stage box on the left the first act was well under way the scene being the interior of a cabin in the south of ireland

of course hilda is irish the burgoynes have been stage people for generations and she has the irish voice

when she began to dance by way of showing the gossoons what she had seen in the fairy rings at night the house broke into a prolonged uproar

the playwright gave mainhall a curious look out of his deep set faded eyes and made a wry face

sir harry towne bowed and said that he had met mister alexander and his wife in tokyo

he bowed as the warning bell rang and mainhall whispered you know lord westmere of course the stooped man with the long gray mustache talking to lady dowle

he leaned forward and beamed felicitations as warmly as mainhall himself when at the end of the play she came again and again before the curtain panting a little and flushed her eyes dancing and her eager nervous little mouth tremulous with excitement

she merely brushed his cheek with her lips and put a hand lightly and joyously on either shoulder

she looked at his heavy shoulders and big determined head fresh forward like a catapult in leash

she looked at his heavy shoulders and big determined head thrust forward like a catapult in leash

bill chandler the zoologist had been going deeper and deeper into the old sea bottom of certus

bill chandler the zoologist had been going deeper and deeper into the old sea bottom of syrtis

that took the center of interest away from archaeology and started a new burst of activity

the civilian specialists in other fields and the space force people who had been holding tape lines and making sketches and snapping cameras were all flying to lower syrtis to find out how much oxygen there was and what kind of life it supported

they had four or five species of what might loosely be called birds and something that could easily be classed as a reptile and a carnivorous mammal the size of a cat with birdlike claws and a herbivore almost identical with the piglike thing in the big darfhulva mural and another like a gazelle with a single horn in the middle of its forehead

the daily newscasts from terra showed a corresponding shift in interest at home

it was locked from the inside and we had to burn it down with a torch that's where they are

gloria standish who had dropped in for lunch was on the mezzanine fairly screaming into a radiophone extension dozen and a half of them

a floodlight was on in the room inside and lattimer was going around looking at things while a space force officer stood by the door

tony lattimer the discoverer was beginning to cash in on his attentions to gloria and his ingratiation with sid he was always either making voice and image talks for telecast or listening to the news from the home planet

the organization of a society of martian archaeology with anthony lattimer ph d the logical candidate for the chair

they cluster around me their hands are taloned their eyes are red like flame burning in darkness

i do not know when it is going to be but it will be either next week or the week after certainly at the earliest possible moment and i shouldn't be at all surprised to learn that all mary ann's things had been already bought and perhaps some of them marked

i was persuaded that somebody besides that cousin got a profit out of mary ann's engagement ring but i handed over the amount

when she heard of my engagement with marianne she wrote and suggested that we should spend our honeymoon in her cottage or pigsty and that i should pay her rent for it

when she heard of my engagement with mary ann she wrote and suggested that we should spend our honeymoon in her cottage or pigstye and that i should pay her rent for it

a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush' and it will be something to have by us

i know what mamma can afford to give and i will see she gives it

the fact of having given mary ann a wedding present seems to fill them with a feeling of rancorous acidity which to me is inexplicable

we have all been giving mary ann presents and i suppose you mister whiting have been giving her something too

and what inquired missus macpherson has mary ann given you her love

i imagine there were several kinds of old fashioned christmases but it could hardly be worse than a chop in my chambers or horror of horrors at the club or my cousin lucy's notion of what she calls the festive season

when at last i reached crofton my journey's end it turned out that the station staff consisted of a half witted individual who was stationmaster porter and clerk combined and a hulking lad who did whatever else there was to do

no one had come to meet me the village was about half a mile and hangar dene the house for which my steps were bent about four miles by the road how far it was across ploughed fields my informant did not mention

there was a trap at the boy and blunderbuss but that required fetching

with an education which ought to have insured me an honorable standing in the world with some intelligence wit good literary and scientific knowledge and endowed with those accidental physical qualities which are such a good passport into society i found myself at the age of twenty the mean follower of a sublime art in which if great talent is rightly admired mediocrity is as rightly despised

with an education which ought to have ensured me an honourable standing in the world with some intelligence wit good literary and scientific knowledge and endowed with those accidental physical qualities which are such a good passport into society i found myself at the age of twenty the mean follower of a sublime art in which if great talent is rightly admired mediocrity is as rightly despised

we did the same with physicians whom we often sent half dressed to some nobleman who was enjoying excellent health

in every one of the seventy two parishes of the city of venice there is a large public house called magazzino

the waiter of the magazzino came to be paid and our chief gave him what was due enjoining silence under penalty of death

it went on to say that the two men who had carried her off had taken her to such a place where they had an hour later been met by the other six and that they had all repaired to the two swords where they had spent an hour in drinking

i jumped out of the gondola and found myself on the very spot where three years before i had taught razetta such a forcible lesson i enquired for a surgeon at the first coffee house and ran to the house that was pointed out to me

taking everything upon myself i ordered a servant to hurry out for a physician who came in a short time and ordered the patient to be bled again thus approving the first bleeding prescribed by me

thinking i had a right to watch the sick man i settled myself near his bed to give him every care he required

the physician who attended him was named terro he thought by some peculiar train of reasoning that he could cure him by applying a mercurial ointment to the chest to which no one raised any objection

not very long i answered and i will teach you as you wish although the hermit assured me that i would die suddenly within three days if i communicated my science to anyone but i have no faith whatever in that prediction

they believed that through me they possessed the philosopher's stone the universal panacea the intercourse with all the elementary heavenly and infernal spirits they had no doubt whatever that thanks to my sublime science they could find out the secrets of every government in europe

they were not only good christians and faithful to the church but even real devotes and full of scruples

besides i found it very flattering to my vanity to become the subject of the speculative chattering of empty fools who having nothing else to do are always trying to find out the cause of every moral phenomenon they meet with which their narrow intellect cannot understand

perhaps the profession of doing good may be full but every body should be kind at least to himself

every crystal dances responsive to the touches of the sun and currents of sap in the growing cells of all the vegetation are ever in a vital whirl and rush and though many feet and wings are folded how many are astir

slight rainstorms are likely to be encountered in a trip round the mountain but one may easily find shelter beneath well thatched trees that shed the rain like a roof

in setting out from strawberry valley by bearing off to the northwestward a few miles you may see

it is lined with emerald algae and mosses and shaded with alder willow and thorn bushes which give it a fine setting

the long gray slopes leading up to the glacier seem remarkably smooth and unbroken

most of the drainage of the glacier vanishes at once in the porous rocks to reappear in springs in the distant valley and it is only in time of flood that the channel carries much water then there are several fine falls in the gorge six hundred feet or more in height

tracing this wild changing channel gorge gully or canyon the sections will show mount shasta as a huge palimpsest containing the records layer upon layer of strangely contrasted events in its fiery icy history

regaining the low ground at the base of the mountain and holding on in your grand orbit you pass through a belt of juniper woods called the cedars to sheep rock at the foot of the shasta pass

while travelling with the company of hunters i saw about fifty in one flock

two or three miles farther on is the main stronghold of the modocs held by them so long and defiantly against all the soldiers that could be brought to the attack

they are broad rugged crevassed cloudlike masses of down grinding ice pouring forth streams of muddy water as measures of the work they are doing in sculpturing the rocks beneath them very unlike the long majestic glaciers of alaska that riverlike go winding down the valleys through the forests to the sea

thus the shasta river issues from a large lake like spring in shasta valley and about two thirds of the volume of the mc cloud gushes forth in a grand spring on the east side of the mountain a few miles back from its immediate base

should the volume of the stream where you strike it seem small then you will know that you are above the spring if large nearly equal to its volume at its confluence with the pitt river then you are below it and in either case have only to follow the river up or down until you come to it

the vivid green of the boulders beneath the water is very striking and colors the entire stream with the exception of the portions broken into foam

asplenium epilobium heuchera hazel dogwood and alder make a luxurious fringe and setting and the forests of douglas spruce along the banks are the finest i have ever seen in the sierra

tracing the mc cloud to its highest springs and over the divide to the fountains of fall river near fort crook thence down that river to its confluence with the pitt on from there to the volcanic region about lassen's butte through the big meadows among the sources of the feather river and down through forests of sugar pine to the fertile plains of chico this is a glorious saunter and imposes no hardship

the ascent of lassen's butte is an easy walk and the views from the summit are extremely telling

the lofty icy shasta towering high above all seems but an hour's walk from you though the distance in an air line is about sixty miles

the big meadows lie near the foot of lassen's butte a beautiful spacious basin set in the heart of the richly forested mountains scarcely surpassed in the grandeur of its surroundings by tahoe

the placard gwynplaine the laughing man taken from its nail in the green box was hung up close to the sign of the inn

by the side of the door was constructed off hand by means of an empty barrel a box for the money taker who was sometimes fibi and sometimes vinos

the merry andrews and mountebanks of tarrinzeau field were aghast at gwynplaine

besides the small fry the swallowers of swords and the grimace makers real performances took place on the green

his enthusiasm caused ursus to remark this man and gwynplaine to observe him

one evening ursus was in the side scene which was the kitchen door of the green box seeing master nicless standing by him showed him this man in the crowd and asked him

at that hour there was no one in the fair ground except perhaps some reeling drunkard making staggering shadows in dark corners

in gwynplaine evil thoughts never ripened and he had therefore no remorse

this was the old establishment of ursus its proportions augmented by success and improved from a wretched booth into a theatre

unknown people had worked upon his face he on the other hand had worked on his mind and behind this well executed mask he had placed all that he could of thought

some believed it to be natural others declared it to be artificial and as conjecture was added to reality everywhere at every cross road on the journey in all the grounds of fairs and fetes the crowd ran after gwynplaine

for these read fibi and vinos that we may conform to english pronunciation

this hut in a corner at the back to the right of the door served as bedchamber and dressing room to ursus and gwynplaine

a loft under the arch of the roof contained the scenes and on opening a trap door lamps appeared producing wonders of light

the manichaeans believed the absolute occasionally gives way and that god himself sometimes abdicates for a time so also of the will

the whole of existence resembles a letter modified in the postscript

besides we must remember that they had in those times means of putting patients to sleep and of suppressing all suffering only then it was called magic while now it is called anaesthesia

the operation whatever it had been which had deprived his features of harmony and put all their flesh into disorder had had no effect on the bony structure of his head

says he i would not trust a secesh on his word oath or bond march i say

line of battle was formed on the north bank of stone's river on the yankee side

i called lieutenant colonel frierson's attention to the yankees and he remarked well i don't know whether they are yankees or not but if they are they will come out of there mighty quick

we were not twenty yards off from the yankees and they were pouring the hot shot and shells right into our ranks and every man was yelling at the top of his voice cease firing you are firing on your own men cease firing you are firing on your own men

oakley color bearer of the fourth tennessee regiment ran right up in the midst of the yankee line with his colors begging his men to follow

the leaden hail storm swept them off the field they fell back and re formed

he was walking along when all at once he dropped down and died without a struggle or a groan

about daylight on sunday morning chalmers brigade relieved gladden's

as gladden rode by us the courier rode up and told him something

i had heard and read of battlefields seen pictures of battlefields of horses and men of cannon and wagons all jumbled together while the ground was strewn with dead and dying and wounded but i must confess that i never realized the pomp and circumstance of the thing called glorious war until i saw this

i had been feeling mean all the morning as if i had stolen a sheep but when the order to charge was given i got happy

but as i said before reader a private soldier is but an automaton and knows nothing of what is going on among the generals and i am only giving the chronicles of little things and events that came under my own observation as i saw them then and remember them now

so he got a large two inch rope tied one end around the mule's neck and the other to the caisson and ordered the driver to whip up

the rope however was stronger than the mule's no and he was finally prevailed upon by the strength of the rope to cross the creek

on my taking the rope off he shook himself and seemed to say you think that you are mighty smart folks but you are a leetle too smart

we passed around atlanta crossed the chattahoochee and traveled back over the same route on which we had made the arduous campaign under joe johnston

right before me i saw the long dry grass all bending toward a common centre and i knew that it was an old well and that my comrade had fallen in it

we were inured to privations and hardships had been upon every march in every battle in every skirmish in every advance in every retreat in every victory in every defeat

he wanted to go by home and tell his wife and children good bye and to get his clothes it was no go

the third day it was reported that the yankees had taken position on murphy's borough pike

the third day it was reported that the yankees had taken position on the murfreesboro pike

my guides however were well known and the natural politeness of the people prevented them from putting me to any inconvenience but they could not help eyeing me nor i them

the vine grew outside many of the houses and there were some with sign boards on which was painted a bottle and a glass that made me feel much at home

even on this ledge of human society there was a stunted growth of shoplets which had taken root and vegetated somehow though as in an air mercantile of the bleakest

their expression was divine and as they glanced at me timidly but with parted lips in great bewilderment i forgot all thoughts of their conversion in feelings that were far more earthly

even in middle age they were still comely and the old grey haired women at their cottage doors had a dignity not to say majesty of their own

suffice it that i found myself taken before the chief magistrate and by his orders was placed in an apartment with two other people who were the first i had seen looking anything but well and handsome

i was to see the sheep not necessarily close at hand nor to get them in a single mob but to see enough of them here and there to feel easy that nothing had gone wrong this was no difficult matter for there were not above eight hundred of them and being all breeding ewes they were pretty quiet

so lonely and so solemn with the sad grey clouds above and no sound save a lost lamb bleating upon the mountain side as though its little heart were breaking

i had no money but if i could only find workable country i might stock it with borrowed capital and consider myself a made man

i am surprised however that the book at which such an example of the specious misuse of analogy would seem most naturally levelled should have occurred to no reviewer neither shall i mention the name of the book here though i should fancy that the hint given will suffice

but this had an effect of which i have little reason to complain for i was allowed almost to call them life long self deceivers to their faces and they said it was quite true but that it did not matter

it was written in the upper rangotta district of the canterbury province as it then was of new zealand and appeared at christchurch in the press newspaper june thirteenth eighteen sixty three

it was written in the upper rangitata district of the canterbury province as it then was of new zealand and appeared at christchurch in the press newspaper june thirteenth eighteen sixty three

i see from my second preface that i took the book to messrs chapman and hall may first eighteen seventy one and on their rejection of it under the advice of one who has attained the highest rank among living writers i let it sleep till i took it to mister trubner early in eighteen seventy two

i attribute its unlooked for success mainly to two early favourable reviews the first in the pall mall gazette of april twelfth and the second in the spectator of april twentieth

the first edition of erewhon sold in about three weeks i had not taken moulds and as the demand was strong it was set up again immediately

i made a few further very trifling alterations before moulds were taken but since the summer of eighteen seventy two as new editions were from time to time wanted they have been printed from stereos then made

i am still fairly well satisfied with those parts of erewhon that were repeatedly rewritten but from those that had only a single writing i would gladly cut out some forty or fifty pages if i could

and now it had come to pass that his sole remaining ally mister samuel bozzle the ex policeman was becoming weary of his service

at last he sent word to say that he himself would be in england before the end of march and would see that the majesty of the law should be vindicated in his favor

missus bozzle was disposed to think that ladies of quality among whom madame t was entitled in her estimation to take rank were seldom better than they ought to be and she was quite willing that her husband should earn his bread by watching the lady or the lady's lover

a distinct promise of a hundred pounds was made to him if he would have the child ready to hand over to trevelyan on trevelyan's arrival in england

the paternal parent has a right to his infants no doubt that was bosl's law

the paternal parent has a right to his infants no doubt that was bozzle's law

i'll tell you what it is b exclaimed missus bozzle it's my belief as he ain't quite right up here and missus bozzle touched her forehead

drat em all what is it they wants they don't know what they wants

trevelyan had followed his letter quicker than he had intended when it was written and was now with his prime minister before his prime minister had been able to take any action on the last instruction received

but trevelyan was of a different opinion and he was disgusted and revolted most unreasonably by the appearance of his minister's domestic arrangements

bozzle had always waited upon him with a decent coat and a well brushed hat and clean shoes

it is very much easier for such men as mister bozzle to carry decency of appearance about with them than to keep it at home

missus bozzle who well understood that business was business and that wives were not business felt no anger at this and handed her husband his best coat

bozzle away from his own home out on business with his coat buttoned over his breast and his best hat in his hand was aware that he commanded respect and he could carry himself accordingly

i do not suppose that anybody will question my right to have the care of my own child said trevelyan

and he did go away leaving bozzle standing in the middle of stony walk

sir edward not wholly discouraged by the denial with which dorriforth had with delicacy acquainted him still hoped for a kind reception and was so often at the house of missus horton that lord frederick's jealousy was excited and the tortures he suffered in consequence convinced him beyond a doubt of the sincerity of his affection

every time he beheld the object of his passion for he still continued his visits though not so frequently as heretofore he pleaded his cause with such ardour that miss woodley who was sometimes present and ever compassionate could not resist wishing him success

nor had this good woman's officious labors taken the least from the awkwardness of the silence which as soon as the bustle she had made was over returned in its full force

it was not from any real cause of grief that she wept but there was a magnetic quality in tears which always attracted her's

at the usual hour mister dorriforth and his ward were summoned to tea he entered with a countenance which evinced the remains of anger his eye gave testimony of his absent thoughts and though he took up a pamphlet affecting to read it was plain to discern that he scarcely knew he held it in his hand

miss woodley thought it her duty to be mute and now the gingle of a tea spoon was like a deep toned bell all was so quiet

he coughed drank his tea endeavoured to talk but found it difficult sometimes read and in this manner near two hours were passed away when miss milner came into the room not dressed for a ball but as she had risen from dinner

dorriforth read on and seemed afraid of looking up lest he should see what he could not have pardoned

dorriforth then laid the book out of his hand and by the time the servant had left the room thus began

what he said he looked with so much sincerity that had she been burning with rage at his late behaviour she must have forgiven him for the regret which he so forcibly exprest

on this he rose from his chair and going to her said once more shew your submission by obeying me a second time to day

master and man dismounted from their beasts and as soon as they had settled themselves at the foot of the trees sancho who had had a good noontide meal that day let himself without more ado pass the gates of sleep

at one moment it seemed to him that he was in the cave of montesinos and saw dulcinea transformed into a country wench skipping and mounting upon her she ass again that the words of the sage merlin were sounding in his ears setting forth the conditions to be observed and the exertions to be made for the disenchantment of dulcinea

docinea is perishing thou art living on regardless i am dying of hope deferred therefore untrust thyself with the good will for mine it is here in this retired spot to give thee at least two thousand lashes

dulcinea is perishing thou art living on regardless i am dying of hope deferred therefore untruss thyself with a good will for mine it is here in this retired spot to give thee at least two thousand lashes

don quixote was on foot with his horse unbridled and his lance leaning against a tree and in short completely defenceless he thought it best therefore to fold his arms and bow his head and reserve himself for a more favourable occasion and opportunity

he was mounted upon a powerful horse and had on a coat of mail with four of the pistols they call petronels in that country at his waist

he saw that his squires for so they call those who follow that trade were about to rifle sancho panza but he ordered them to desist and was at once obeyed so the girdle escaped

he saw me he paid court to me i listened to him and unknown to my father i loved him for there is no woman however secluded she may live or close she may be kept who will not have opportunities and to spare for following her headlong impulses

give me my horse and arms and wait for me here i will go in quest of this knight and dead or alive i will make him keep his word plighted to so great beauty

nobody need have any doubt about that said sancho for my master has a very happy knack of matchmaking it's not many days since he forced another man to marry who in the same way backed out of his promise to another maiden and if it had not been for his persecutors the enchanters changing the man's proper shape into a lacquey's the said maiden would not be one this minute

they made haste to overtake them which as the party moved slowly they were able to do with ease

the wounded gentleman opened his all but closed eyes and recognising claudia said i see clearly fair and mistaken lady that it is thou that hast slain me a punishment not merited or deserved by my feelings towards thee for never did i mean to nor could i wrong thee in thought or deed

it is not true then said claudia that thou wert going this morning to marry leonora the daughter of the rich balvastro

claudia told him she meant to go to a monastery of which an aunt of hers was a bass where she intended to pass her life with a better and everlasting spouse

claudia told him she meant to go to a monastery of which an aunt of hers was abbess where she intended to pass her life with a better and everlasting spouse

sancho said they had but that three kerchiefs that were worth three cities were missing

said one of the bystanders i have got them and they are not worth three reals

at this instant one or two of those squires who were posted as sentinels on the roads to watch who came along them and report what passed to their chief came up and said senor there is a great troop of people not far off coming along the road to barcelona

and if you have any desire to shorten the journey and put yourself easily in the way of salvation come with me and i will show you how to become a knight errant a calling wherein so many hardships and mishaps are encountered that if they be taken as penances they will lodge you in heaven in a trice

and now the squires despatched to make the prize came up bringing with them two gentlemen on horseback two pilgrims on foot and a coach full of women with some six servants on foot and on horseback in attendance on them and a couple of muleteers whom the gentlemen had with them

the captains showed plainly the concern they felt the regent's lady was downcast and the pilgrims did not at all enjoy seeing their property confiscated

the regent's lady ordered one of her servants to give the eighty crowns that had been assessed as her share at once for the captains had already paid down their sixty

one of the squires observed in his mixture of gascon and catalan this captain of ours would make a better friar than highwayman if he wants to be so generous another time let it be with his own property and not ours

one dark night at the head of a score of his tribe he fell upon wabigoon's camp his object being the abduction of the princess

a counter attack was made upon woonga and he was driven deep into the wilderness with great loss

three days later minnetaki became newsome's wife at the hudson bay post

the other was a girl three years younger and newsom insisted that she be called menatoki

the other was a girl three years younger and newsome insisted that she be called minnetaki

curiously enough the blood of wabi ran almost pure to his indian forefathers while minnetaki as she became older developed less of the wild beauty of her mother and more of the softer loveliness of the white race her wealth of soft jet black hair and her great dark eyes contrasting with the lighter skin of her father's blood

wabi on the other hand was an indian in appearance from his moccasins to the crown of his head swarthy sinewy as agile as a lynx and with every instinct in him crying for the life of the wild

one of newsome's chief pleasures in life had been the educating of his woodland bride and it was the ambition of both that the little minnetaki and her brother be reared in the ways of white children

consequently both mother and father began their education at the post they were sent to the factor's school and two winters were passed in port arthur that they might have the advantage of thoroughly equipped schools

the children proved themselves unusually bright pupils and by the time wabi was sixteen and minnetaki twelve one would not have known from their manner of speech that indian blood ran in their veins

it was at about this time in their lives that the woongas became especially daring in their depredations

but each week added to his loneliness and his longings for minnetaki and his forests

necessity had become his grim master and the following week he was going to work

but in time the end of it all came and wabi went back to the princess mother to minnetaki and to his forests

there were tears in the boys eyes when they parted and the mother cried for the indian boy who was returning to his people

i began to enjoy the exhilarating delight of traveling a life of desire gratification and liberty

geographers have divided it into four parts and we had to cross the southwest quarter which in the vernacular is called sudvestr fjordungr

i could not help smiling to see him look so big on his little horse his long legs now and then touching the ground made him look like a six footed centaur

here and there could be seen an isolated farm some solitary bur or icelandic house built of wood earth fragments of lava looking like beggars on the highway of life

i took occasion to consult the map to see where gardar was to be found

at length the sturdy little pony spreading out his legs in a stiff and ludicrous attitude got from under the professor's legs and left him standing with both feet on a separate stone like the colossus of rhodes

i thoroughly understood and appreciated the necessity for waiting before crossing the fiord for that moment when the sea at its highest point is in a state of slack water

the men appeared robust but heavy fair haired like germans but of pensive mien exiles of a higher scale in the ladder of humanity than the eskimos but i thought much more unhappy since with superior perceptions they are compelled to live within the limits of the polar circle

one of his waiters phil tyson was one of the earlier ones to go back into the burned district to begin business and he opened a restaurant called the del monte in powell street near market but it was too early for success and closed after a short career

one can almost imagine himself in one of the famous rathskellers of old heidelberg not at the schloss of course for here you cannot look down on the weiser as it flows beneath the windows of the great wine stube on the hill

but if you really love good music music that has melody and rhythm and soothing cadences go to the heidelberg inn and listen to the concert which is a feature of the place every evening

we finally got him to select the one prized above all others and this is what chef scheiler gave us

then take it out of the roasting pan and put it into a casserole after sprinkling it with two ounces of flour

strain the sauce through a fine collander and add a few raisins a piece of honey cake or ginger snaps and the meat of one fresh tomato

the hof brau however is less distinctively german as the greater number of its patrons are americans

the specialty of the hof brau is abalone's and they have as a feature this shell fish cooked in several ways

the distinctions of moral values have either originated in a ruling caste pleasantly conscious of being different from the ruled or among the ruled class the slaves and dependents of all sorts

everywhere that slave morality gains the ascendancy language shows a tendency to approximate the significations of the words good and stupid

in fact conformably to the slow rise of the democratic social order and its cause the blending of the blood of masters and slaves the originally noble and rare impulse of the masters to assign a value to themselves and to think well of themselves will now be more and more encouraged and extended but it has at all times an older ampler and more radically ingrained propensity opposed to it and in the phenomenon of vanity this older propensity overmasters the younger

variations whether they be deviations into the higher finer and rarer or deteriorations and monstrosities appear suddenly on the scene in the greatest exuberance and splendor the individual dares to be individual and attach himself

at this turning point of history there manifest themselves side by side and often mixed and entangled together a magnificent manifold virgin forest like up growth and up striving a kind of tropical tempo in the rivalry of growth and an extraordinary decay and self destruction owing to the savagely opposing and seemingly exploding egoisms which strive with one another for sun and light and can no longer assign any limit restraint or forbearance for themselves by means of the hitherto existing morality

nothing but new whys nothing but new hows no common formulas any longer misunderstanding and disregard in league with each other decay deterioration and the loftiest desires frightfully entangled the genius of the race overflowing from all the cornucopias of good and bad a portentous simultaneousness of spring and autumn full of new charms and mysteries peculiar to the fresh still inexhausted still unwearied corruption

danger is again present the mother of morality great danger this time shifted into the individual into the neighbour and friend into the street into their own child into their own heart into all the most personal and secret recesses of their desires and volitions

the noble soul accepts the fact of his egoism without question and also without consciousness of harshness constraint or arbitrariness therein but rather as something that may have its basis in the primary law of things if he sought a designation for it he would say it is justice itself

profound suffering makes noble it separates one of the most refined forms of disguise is epicurism along with a certain ostentatious boldness of taste which takes suffering lightly and puts itself on the defensive against all that is sorrowful and profound

occasionally too the waking call comes too late the chance which gives permission to take action when their best youth and strength for action have been used up in sitting still and how many a one just as he sprang up has found with horror that his limbs are benumbed and his spirits are now too heavy

probably but fortunately nothing for my own teeth perhaps it betrays the species to which i belong but not to myself as is sufficiently agreeable to me but what has happened to you

this world's thick vapours whelm your eyes unworthy of that glorious show blind to his splendour bent upon his shame

the people is a beast of muddy brain that knows not its own force and therefore stands loaded with wood and stone the powerless hands of a mere child guide it with bit and rein one kick would be enough to break the chain but the beast fears and what the child demands it does nor its own terror understands confused and stupefied by bugbears vain

organ of rut not reason is the lord who from the body politic doth drain lust for himself instead of toil and pain leaving us lean as crickets on dry sward

well too if he like love would filch our hoard with pleasure to ourselves sluicing our vein and vigour to perpetuate the strain of life by spilth of life within us stored

heaven help that body which a little mind housed in a head lacking ears tongue and eyes and senseless but for smell can tyrannise

thou like arcturus steadfast in the skies with tardy sense guidest thy kingdom fair bearing alone the load of liberty

he translated at an early age chiefly between eighteen forty five and eighteen forty nine a great number of poems by the italians contemporary with dante or preceding him and among other things he made a version of the whole vita nuova prose and verse

this book in its original form was received with favour and settled the claim of rossetti to rank as a poetic translator or indeed as a poet in his own right

poetry not being in exact science literality of rendering is altogether secondary to this chief law

often would he avail himself of any special grace of his own idiom and epoch if only his will belonged to him often would some cadence serve him but for his author's structure some structure but for his author's cadence often the beautiful turn of a stanza must be weakened to adopt some rhyme which will tally and he sees the poet revelling in abundance of language where himself is scantily supplied

and if you have time it would be a great service to translate the analyses of the poems which i omitted

on january twenty fifth he wrote many and many thanks for a most essential service most thoroughly performed

throughout the vita nuova there is a strain like the first falling murmur which reaches the ear in some remote meadow and prepares us to look upon the sea

this has induced some editors of the vita nuova to explain the title as meaning early life

thereafter this sonnet bred in me desire to write down in verse four other things touching my condition the which things it seemed to me that i had not yet made manifest

but when i still spake not one of them who before had been talking with another addressed me by my name saying to what end lovest thou this lady saying that thou canst not support her presence

and i declare that when i speak thereof love sheds such perfect sweetness over me that if my courage failed not certainly to him my listeners must be all resign'd

whatever her sweet eyes are turned upon spirits of love do issue thence in flame which through their eyes who then may look on them pierce to the heart's deep chamber every one

in the third i say what it is i purpose to speak so as not to be impeded by faintheartedness

this second part is divided into two for in the first i speak of her as regards the nobleness of her soul relating some of her virtues proceeding from her soul in the second i speak of her as regards the nobleness of her body narrating some of her beauties here love saith concerning her

and at the first it seemed to me that i saw certain faces of women with their hair loosened which called out to me thou shalt surely die after the which other terrible and unknown appearances said unto me thou art dead

and so strong was my phantasy that i wept again in very truth and said with my true voice o excellent soul how blessed is he that now looketh upon thee

and my hue was such that they look'd at each other and thought of death saying under their breath most tenderly o let us comfort him then unto me what dream was thine that it hath shaken thee so much

and therewithal such a bewilderment possess'd me that i shut mine eyes for peace and in my brain did cease order of thought and every healthful thing

then saw i many broken hinted sights in the uncertain state i stepp'd into

this lady's right name was joan but because of her comeliness or at least it was so imagined she was called of many primavera spring and went by that name among them

and in his speech he laugh'd and laugh'd again then while it was his pleasure to remain i chanced to look the way he had drawn near and saw the ladies joan and beatrice approach me this the other following one and a second marvel instantly

so christie turned a deaf ear to her prophetic soul and gave herself up to the blissful holiday that had come at last

nothing can surprise me now i'm prepared for any thing even the sight of my quakerish lover dancing a jig

then they went back to their work little dreaming as they tied roses and twined smilax wreaths how near that other chance was how soon they were to be called upon to keep their promise and how well each was to perform the part given them in life and death

yes david sister and sweetheart answered bravely forgetting in the fervor of the moment what heavy consequences god might see fit to send good

bennet will take the garden and green house off my hands this autumn for a year or longer if i like

next evening as missus sterling sat alone in the twilight a tall man in army blue entered quietly stood watching the tranquil figure for a moment then went and knelt down beside it saying with a most unsoldierly choke in the voice

it would have taken many knapsacks to hold all the gifts showered upon him by his friends and neighbours

finding that lisha showed little enthusiasm on the subject she tried to rouse him by patriotic appeals of various sorts

very well said missus wilkins resolutely to herself ef i can't make no impression on his soul i will on his stommick and see how that'll work

he was not as unmoved as he seemed by the general excitement and had felt sundry manly impulses to up and at em when his comrades in the shop discussed the crisis with ireful brandishing of awls and vengeful pounding of sole leather as if the rebels were under the hammer

as a married woman you will get on better as my wife you will be allowed to come to me if i need you and as my he stopped there for he could not add as my widow you will have my pension to support you

david caught the exaltation and gave no further thought to any thing but the duty of the hour finding himself stronger and braver for that long look into the illuminated face of the woman he loved

but i think few brides dress with a braver happier heart than mine though i do choose a sober wedding gown answered christie smiling again as she took from a half packed trunk her new hospital suit of soft gray woollen stuff

you young folks take a wedding trip to the green house while we see how well we can get on without you

a very simple little marriage feast but more love good will and tender wishes adorned the plain table than is often found at wedding breakfasts and better than any speech or song was letty's broken whisper as she folded her arms round david's empty chair when no one saw her heaven bless and keep and bring him back to us

all watched with quickened breath and proud souls that living wave blue below and bright with a steely glitter above as it flowed down the street and away to join the sea of dauntless hearts that for months had rolled up against the south and ebbed back reddened with the blood of men like these
