+congradulations were poured in upon the princess everywhere during her journey
+3
+from the respect paid her on all sides she seamed like a queen and from the adorration with which she was treated by two or three she appeared an object of worship the queen mother gave the french the most affectionate reception france was her native country and she had suffered too much on happiness in england for england to have made her forget france

+she taught her daughter then by her own affectioned for it that love for a country where they had both been hospitably received and where a brilliant future opened for them

+the count had throne himself back on his seet leaning his shoulders against the particion of the tent and remained thus his face burried in his hands with heaving chest and restless limbs

+in those very terms i even added more

+but continued rouh not interrupted by this movement of his friend heaven be praised the french who are pronounced to be thoughtless and indiscreet reckless even are capable of bringing a calm and sound jugment to bear on matters of such high importance

+16
+yes i kneed repose many things have agitated me to day both in mind and body when you returne to morrow i shall no longer be the same man

+there were certainly no near the solution of their problem
+23
+the poor little things cried sinthia think of them having been turned to the wall all these years
+24
+now what is the sense of it towo innocent babies like that
+25
+but joyce had not been listening all at once she put down her candle on the table and faced her companion
+26
+the twin brother did something she didnt like and she turned as picture to the wall
+27
+hers happened to be on the same frame too but she evidently didnt care about it
+28
+now what have you to say sinthia s prog
+29
+i thought we were stumped again when i first saw that picture but it s ben of some use after all
+30
+do you suppose the minnature was a copy of the same thing
+31
+what in the world is it queried joice
+32
+they worry me terribly and besides id like to see what this lovely furniture looks like with hout such quantities of dust all over it good sceame sin
+33
+well come in hear this afternoon with old clothes on and have a regular house cleaning
+34
+you cant heart anything im sure for we wont disturbe things at all
+35
+this thought however did not enter the heads of the enthusiastic pair
+36
+smugglingn the house cleaning per fonelia into the cellar window un observed that afternoon proved no easy task for synthia had added a whisk broom and dustpand to the outfet
+37
+the leer prooved too much for him and he came sporting after it as friskely as a young kitten much to sinthias delight when she caught sight of him
+38
+ohh let him come along she urged i doo love to see him about that old house
+39
+he makes it sort of cosier
+40
+now lets dust the furniture and pictures
+41
+yet little as it was it had already made a vast difference in the aspect of the room
+42
+surface dus at least had been removed and the fine old firniture gave a hint of its real elegance and pollish
+43
+then she suddenly remarked
+44
+and my pocket mone is getting low again and you havenany left as usual
+45
+they say ilumination by candlelighte as the prettiest in the world
+46
+why it gelieth hats usual they both cried pearing in
+47
+isnt he the greatest for getting into od corners
+48
+forgetting all their weariness they seased teir candles and scurried through the house finding on occasional paper tucked away in some od corner
+49
+well im convinced that the borded up house mistery happened not earlier than aprial sixteenth eighteen sixty one and probably not much later
+50
+no words were spoken no language was uttered save that of wailing and hissing and that somehow was indistinct as if it existed in fancy and not in reality
+51
+i heard a noise behind i turned and saw caffer his black eyes shining while in his hand he held a gleaming nife he lifted it above his head as if to strike but i had the strength of ten men and i hurled him from me
+52
+on word said a distint voice
+53
+no sound broke the stillness of the night
+54
+the story of its evil influence came back to me and in my bewildered condition i wondered whether there was not some truth in what had been said
+55
+what was that
+56
+what then a human hand large and shapely appeared distingtly on the surface of the pond
+57
+nothing more not even the risk to which it might be attatched
+58
+it did not becckon or indeed move at all it was as still as the hand of death
+59
+i awoke to conchiousness fighting at first it seemed as if i was fighting with the fantom but gradually my upponent became more real to me it was caffer
+60
+a sound of voices a flash of light
+61
+a feeling of freedom and i was awake where
+62
+said another voice which i recognized as volcheres cafer
+63
+i had scarcely known what i had been saying or doing up to this time but as he spoke i looked at my hand
+64
+in the light of the moon i saw a nife read with blood and by hand too was also discolored
+65
+i do not know i am dased bewildered
+66
+but that is caffers nife
+67
+i know he had et this very evening
+68
+i remembered saying have we been together
+69
+volcher picked up something from the ground and looked at it
+70
+i say you do know what this means and you must tell us
+71
+a terrible thought flashed into my mind
+72
+i had again been acting under the influence of this mans power
+73
+per chance two caffhers death might serve him in good stead
+74
+my tong refused to articulate my power of speach laughed me
+75
+my position was too terrible
+76
+my overroht nerves yealded at last
+77
+for some time after that i remembered nothing distingtly
+78
+notwithstanding the high resolution of hacky he fully comprehended all the difficulties and danger he was about to encur
+79
+in his return to the camp his accute and practiced intellects were intently engaged in devising means to counteract a watchfulness and suspicion on the part of his enemies that he knew were in no degree inferior to his own
+80
+in other words while he had implicite faith in the ability of belhems asked to speak he was somewhat sceptical on the subject of a beairs singing and yet he had been assured of the latter on the testimony of his own exquisite organs
+81
+there was something in his air and manner that betrayed to the scout the utter confusion of the state of his mind
+82
+the ingenious hacky who recalled the hasty manner in which the other had apbandoned his post at the bedside of the sick woman was not without his suspicions concerning the subject of so much solem deliberation
+83
+the ber shook his shaggy sides and then a well known voice replied
+84
+can these things be returned david breathing more freely as the truith began to daun upon him
+85
+come come returned hacky uncasing his honest countenance the better to assure the waivering confidence of his companion you may see a skin which if it be not as white as one of the gentle ones has no tinge of red to it that the winds of the heaven and the son have not bestoed now let us to business
+86
+the young man is in bondage and much i fear his death is decreed
+87
+i greatly morned that one so well disposed should die in his ignorance and i have sought a goodly him can you lead me to him
+88
+the task will not be difficult returned david hesitating though i greatly fear your presence would rather increese than mitigate his unhappy fortunes
+89
+the lodge in which uncus was confined was in the very center of the village and in a situation perhaps more difficult than any other to approach or leave without observation
+90
+four or five of the latter only lingered about the door of the prison of unchus wary but close observers of the manner of their captive
+91
+delivered in a strong tone of ascent announced the gratification the savage would receive an witnessing such an exebition of weakness n an enemy so long hated and so much feared
+92
+they drew back a little from the enterance and motioned to the supposed conjerer to enter
+93
+but the beair instead of obeing maintained the seet hit had taken and growled
+94
+the cunning man is afraid that his breath will blow upon his brothers and take away their courrage to continued david improving the hint he received they must stand further off
+95
+then as if satisfied of their safety the scout left his position and slowly entered the place
+96
+it was silent and gloom being tenented soully by the captive and lighted by the dying embers of a fire which had been used for the purpose of cookery
+97
+unchas occupied a distant corner in a reclining attitude being rigidly bound both hands and feet by strong and painful withs
+98
+the scout who had left david at the door to ascertain they were not observed thought it prudent to preserve his disgise until assured of their privacy
+99
+what shall we do with the mingos at the door they count six and the singer is as good as nothing
+100
+the delewares are children of the tortus and they out stripp the dear
+101
+unchas who had already approached the door in readiness to lead the way now recoiled and placed himself once more in the bottom of the lodge
+102
+but haky who was too much occupied with his own thoughts to not the movement continued speaking more to himself than to his companion
+103
+so uncus you had better take the leade while i will put on the skinn again and trust your conning for want of speead
+104
+well what cant be done by man courrage in war must be done by circumvention
+105
+as soon as these dispositions were made the scout turned to davei and gave him his parting instructions
+106
+my pursuits are peaceful and my temper i humbly trust is greatly given to mercy and love returned david a little nettl that so direct an attack on his manhood but there are none who can say that i have ever forgotten my faith in the lord even in the greatest strates
+107
+if you ware not then nocked on the head your being a non canmpasser will protect you and youll then have a good reason to expect to dige in your bed
+108
+so choose for yourself to make a rush or tarry here
+109
+bravely and generously has he battled in my behalf and this and more will i dare in his service
+110
+keep silent as long as may be and it would be wise when you do speak to break out suddenly in one of your shoutings which will serve to remind the indians that you are not altogether as responsible as men should be
+111
+if however they take your scalp as i trust and believe they will not depend on it uncas and i will not forget the deed but revenge it has becomes true wariers and trusty friends
+112
+hold said david perceiving that with this assurance they were about to leave him i am an unworthy and humble follower of one who toaught noght the daminable principale of revenge
+113
+then heaving a heavy sy probably among the last he ever drew in pining for a condition he had so long apbandoned he added it is what i would wish to practice myself as one without a cross of blood though it is not always easy to deal with an indian as you would with a fellow christian
+114
+god bless you friend i do believe your sent is not greatly rong when the matter is deuly considered and keeping iternity before the eyes though much depends on the natural gifts in the force of temptation
+115
+the delloware dog he said leaning forward and pearing through the dim light to catch the expression of the others feachures is he afraid
+116
+will the hurens hear his grones
+117
+the mohicin started on his feet and shook his shaggy covering as though the animal he counterfited was about to make some desperat effort
+118
+he had no occasion to delay for at the next instant a burst of cryes filled the outer air and ran along the whole extent of the village
+119
+uncas cased his skinn and stepped forth in his own beautiful proportions
+120
+since the period of our tal the active spirit of the country has surrounded it with a belt of rich and thriving settlements though none but the hunter or the savage his ever known even now to penetrate its wild recesses
+121
+the dews were suffered to ex hal and the sun had dispersed the mists and was shedding a strong and clear light in the forest when the travelers resumed their journey
+122
+after proceeding a few miles the progress of haky who led the advance became more deliberate and watchful
+123
+he often stopped to examine the trees nor did he cross a rivulet without attentively considering the quantity the velocity and the color of its waters
+124
+distrusting his own jugement his appeels to the opinion of chingachqook were freequent and earnest
+125
+yet here are we within a short range of the scarons and not a signe of a trail have we crossed
+126
+let us retrace our steps and examine as we go with kean er eyes
+127
+chingach gook had caught the look and motioning with his hand he bade him speak
+128
+the eyes of the whole party followed the unexpected movement and read their success in the air of triumfh that the youth assumed
+129
+it would have been more wonderful had he spoken without a bidding
+130
+see said unchus pointing north and south at the evident marks of the broad trail on either side of him the dark hair has gone toward the forest
+131
+if a rock or a rivilet or a bit of earth harder than common severed the links of the clew they followed the true eye of the scout recovered them at a distance and seldom rendered the delay of a single moment necessary
+132
+extinguished brands were lying around a spring the affuls of a dear were scattered about the place and the trees bore evident marks of having been broused by the horses
+133
+a circle of a few hundred feet in circumferance was drawn and each of the party took a segment for his portion
+134
+the examination however resulted in no discovery
+135
+the whole party crouded to the spot where uncas pointed out the impression of a macason in the moyst aluvion
+136
+run back uncus and bring me the sise of the singers foot
+137
+eleven oclock had struck it was a fine clear night they were the only persons on the road and they sauntered leagerly along to avoid paying the prise of fatige for the recreation provided for the tolidons in the valley or on the banks of their river
+138
+secure as he thought and the careful administration of justice in that city and the caracter of its well disposed inhabitance the good hadalgo was far from thinking that any disaster could befall his family
+139
+rodolfho and his companions with their faces muffled in their clokes stared rudly and insolently at the mother the daughter and their servant made
+140
+in a moment he communicated his thoughts to his companions and in the next moment they resolved to turn back and carry her off to please rudolful for the rich who are open handed always find parasites ready to encourrage their bad propencities and thus to conceive this wicked disign to communicated aprove it resolved on ravisghing leocadia and to carry that disign into effect was the work of a moment
+141
+they drew their swords hid teir faces in the flapps of their clokes turned back and soon came infront of the little party who had not yet done giving thanks to god for their escape from those adacious men
+142
+finally the one party went off exalting and the other was left in desolation and woke
+143
+roudolfor arrived at his own house without any impediment and leocadias parents reached theres hart broken and despairing
+144
+meanwhile roudolfho had leocaria safe in his custady and in his own appartment
+145
+who tuches me am i im bed
+146
+mother dear father do you hear me
+147
+it is the only emens i ask of you for the rong you have done me
+148
+she found the door but it was locked outside
+149
+she succeeded in opening the window and the moonlight shown in so brightly that she could distinguish the collor of some damask hanging in the room
+150
+she saw that the bed was gilded and so rich that it seemed that of a prince rather than of a private gentleman
+151
+among other things on which she castd her eyes was a small crucifixe of solid silver standing on a cabinet near the window
+152
+this person was ridulfu wh though he had gone to look for his friends had changed his mind in that respect not thinking it advisible to acquaint them with what had passed between him and the girl
+153
+on the contrary he resolved to tell them that repenting of his violence and moved by a tears he had only carried her half way towards his house and then let her go
+154
+choking with emotion leocadia made a sine to her parents that she wished to be alone with them
+155
+that would be very well my child replied her father if your plan were not liable to be frustrated by ordinary counning but no doubt this image had been already missed by its owner and he will have set it down for certain that it was taken out of the room by the person he locked up there
+156
+what you had best do my child is to keep it and pray to it that since it was a witness to your undoing it will daine to vindicate your cause by its rightcious jugement
+157
+thus did the humain and right minded father comfort his unhappy daughter and her mother embracing her again did all she could to sooh the feelings
+158
+she meanwhile passed her life with her parents in the strictest retirement never letting herself be seen but shunning every eye lest it should read her misfortune in her face
+159
+time roled on the hour of her delivery arrived it took place in the utmost secracy her mother taking upon her the office of midwife as she gave birth to a son one of the most beautiful ever seene
+160
+when the boy walked through the streets blessings were showred upon him by all who saw him blessing upon his beauty upon the mother that bore him upon the father that begoght him upon those who brought him up so well
+161
+one day when the boy was sent by his grandfather with a message to a relation he passed along ha street in which tere was a great concourse of horsemen
+162
+the bedd she too well remembered was there and above all the cabinet on which had stood the image she had taken away was still on the same spot
+163
+louis was out of danger in a fortnight in a month he rose from his bed and drewing all that time he was visited daily by his mother and grandmother and treated by the master and mistress of the house as if he was their own child
+164
+thus saying and pressing the crucifics to her breast she fell fainting into the arms of donnah estefania who as a gentle woman to whose sex pity is a natural as cruelty as two man instantly pressed her lips to those of the fainting girl shedding over her so many tears that there needed no other sprinkling of water to recover le ocadia from her swoon
+165
+i have great things to tell you senor said dorna astefania to her husband the cream and substance of which is this the fainting girl before you is your daughter and the boy is your grandson
+166
+this truith which i have learned from her lips is confermed by his face in which we have both beheld that of our son
+167
+just then leoceria came to herself and embracing the cross seemed changed into a sea of tears and the gentleman remaining in utter bewilderment until his wife had repeated to him from beginning to end leocerias whole story and he believed it through the blesed dispensation of heaven which had confirmed it by so many convinsing testimonies
+168
+so persuasive were her entreaeties and so strong her assurances that no harm whatever could resuult to them from the information she sought they were enduced to confess that one summers night the same she had mentioned themselves and another friend being out on a strol with redolfo they had been concerned in the addoption of a girl whom roudolfo carried off whilst the rest of them detained her family who made a great outcry and would have defended her if they could
+169
+for gods sake my lady mother give me a wife who would be an agreeable companion not one who will disgust me so that we may both bear evenly and with mutual goodwill the yoke imposed on us by heaven instead of pulling this way in that way and fretting each other to death
+170
+her bearing was graceful and animated she led her son by the hand and before her walked two mads with wax lights and silver candle sticks
+171
+all rose to do her reverence as if something from heaven had miraculously appeared before them but gasing on her and tranzed with admiration not one of them was able to address a single word to her
+172
+she reflected how near she stood to the cricise which was to determine whether she was to be blessed or unhappy for ever and racked by the intensity of her emotions she suddenly changed collor her head dropped and she fell forward in a swoon into the arms of the dismayed of stafania
+173
+his mother had left her to him as being her destined protector but when she saw that he too was insensible she was neare making a third and would have done so had he not come to himself
+174
+kno then son of my heart that this fainting lady is your real bride i say real because she is the one whom your father and i have chosen for you and the portrat was a pretense
+175
+just at the moment when the tears of the pittying beholders flowed fastest and their egacculations where most expressive of despair le ocadia gave sins of recovery and brought back gladness throuh the hearts of all
+176
+when she came to her senses and blusshing to find herself in redolfos arms would have disengaged herself no senora he said that must not be strive not to withdraw from the arms of him who wholds you in his sol
+177
+this was done for the event took place at a time when the concent of the parties was sufficient for the celebration of a marriage without any of the preliminary formalities which are now so properly required
+178
+nor was ridolf less surprised than they and the better to assure himself af so wonderful a fct he begged lewcadia to give him some token which should make perfectly clear to him that which indeed he did not doubt since it was authenticated by his parents
+179
+and how od the directions will look
+180
+poor alice
+181
+it was the white rabbit returning splenditely dressed with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other he came trotting along in a great hurry muttering to himself as he came oh the dutchest the dutches
+182
+oh wont she be savage if ive kept her waiting
+183
+alice took up the fan and gloves and as the hall was very hot she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking dear dear how quear everything is today
+184
+and yesterday thinks wet on just as usual
+185
+i wonder if ive been changed in the night
+186
+i almost think i can remember feeling little different
+187
+ill try if i know all the things i use to know
+188
+i shall never get to twenty at that raghte
+189
+how cheerfully he seems to grin how neatly spread his claws and welcome little fishes inn woudh gently smiling jaws
+190
+no ive made up my mind about it if im mable ill stay down here
+191
+it wll be no use theire putting their heads down and saying come up again deare
+192
+i am so very tired of being all allone here
+193
+and i declare its too bad that it is
+194
+i wish i hadnt quite so much said alice as she swam about trying to find her way out
+195
+i shall be punished for it now i suppose by being drowned in my own tears
+196
+that will be a quear thing foto be sure
+197
+i am very tired of swimming about here oh malse
+198
+cried alice again for this time the mouse was brisstling all over and she felt certain it must be really offended
+199
+we wont talk about her any more if youd rather not we indeed
+200
+saterday august fifteenth the sea unbroken all round no land in sighte
+201
+the horizon seems extremely distint
+202
+all my danger and sufferings were needed to strike a spark of human feeling out of him but now that i am well his nature has resumed its swayy
+203
+you seem anxhious my uncle i said seeing him continually with his glasse to his eye anxcous
+204
+one might be with less reasone than now
+205
+i am not complaining that the rade is slow but that the sea is so wide
+206
+we are loasing time and the fact is i have not come all this way to take a little sail upon a pnd on a raft
+207
+he called this siapan and our long voyage taking a little sail
+208
+therefore dont talk to me about views and prospects
+209
+i take this is my answor and i leaved the professor to bit his lips with impatience
+210
+sunday awgust sixteenth
+211
+nothing knew wheather unchanged the wind freshens
+212
+but there seem no reason of fear
+213
+the shadow of the raft was clearly outlined upon the surface of the waves
+214
+trurely the sea is of infinite wit
+215
+it must be as wide as the mediterranean or the atlanntic and why not
+216
+these thoughts agitated me all day and my imagination scarcely calme down after several hours sleep
+217
+i shudder as i recalle these monsters to my rememberancee
+218
+i saw at the hamberg museum the skeleton of one of these creatures thirty feet in length
+219
+i suppose professor ledenbrock was of my opinion to and even shaired my fears for after having examined the pick his eyes traversed the otion from side to side
+220
+tuseday august eighteenth
+221
+during his watch i slept
+222
+two hours afterwards a terrible shock awoake me
+223
+the raft was heaved up on a watery mountain and pitched down again at a distance of twenty fathoms
+224
+theres a wel a well cried the professor
+225
+flight was out of the question now the reptiles rose they wheeled around our little raft with a rapidity greater than that of expressed trains
+226
+two monsters ownly were creating all this commotion and before my eyes are two reptiles of the primitive world
+227
+i can distinguish the y of the ixthiasuris glowing like a red hot co and as large as a mans head
+228
+its jaw is enormous and according to naturalist it is armed with no less than one hundred and eighty two teeth
+229
+those huge creatures attacked each other with he greatest animosity
+230
+suddenly the ictheasuris and the plesiassours disappeard below leaving a war pol eddying in the water
+231
+as for the itthiasouris has he returned to his submerine cabern
+232
+the rorings become lost in the distancee
+233
+the weather if we may use the trm well change before long
+234
+the atmosfhere is charged with vapers provided with th electricity generated by the evapporation of sailing waters
+235
+the electric light can scarcely penetrate  the dense curten which his dropped over the theature on which the battle of the elements is about to be waged
+236
+the air is heavy the sea is calm
+237
+from time to time a fleacy touft of miss with yet some gleaming light left upon it dropps down upon the dense floor of gray and looses itself in the ope hake an impenetrable mass
+238
+the atmosfere is evidently charged and surcharged with electricity
+239
+the wind never lols but to acquire increace strength the vast bank of heavy clouds is a huge reservor of fearful widdy gusts and rushing storms
+240
+theres a heavy storm coming on i cried pointing towards the horizon
+241
+those clowds seem as if they were going to crush the sea
+242
+on the mast allready i see the lighte play of elamant ofsaint erwils fire the outstreched sail catches not a breath of wind and hangs like a sheet of lead
+243
+but if we have now seased to advance why dod we yet leave that sal lose which at the first shock of a tempest may capsise us in a moment
+244
+that will be the safest no no never
+245
+the piled up vepers condenced in to water and the air put in a violent action to supply the valcume left by the condensation of the mist rouses itself into a worldwan
+246
+hawn stirs nodde
+247
+from the under surface of the clouds there ae continual amissions of lurid light helectric matter is in continual evolution from thir componet molicules the gashous elements of the air need to be slakeded with moysture for innumerable colums of water rush upwards into the air and fall back again in white fome
+248
+i refer to the themometer it indicates the figure is obliterated
+249
+is the atmosphere conditiong having once reached thistensity to become final
+250
+the raft bears on still to the south east
+251
+at noon the violetes of a storm redubbles
+252
+each of us is lashed to some part of he raft
+253
+the waves rise above our heads

+392
+i carefully avoid any appearance of preoccupation and excentricity which might lead those i live amongt to suspect the nature of my pursuits

+i dont always succeed for sometimes when im teaching or sowing i would rather be reading a righting but i tried to deny myself and my fathers approbation amply rewarded me for the privation

+in this monotonous life of mind that was a pleasant event
+404
+i wish it will recur again but it will take two or three interviews before the stiffness the enstrangement of this long separation will ware away
+405
+my eyes fill with tears when i contrast the bliss of such a state brightened by hopes of the future with the melancholy state i now live in uncertain that i ever felt true contrision wondering in thought indeed longing for holliness which i shall never never obtaine smitten at times to the heart with the conviction that gastly calvinistic doctrins are true darkened in short by the very shadows of spiritual death

+the cristmas holidays came and she and ann returned to the parsonage and to that happy homecircle in which alone their natures expanded amongst all other people they shriveled up more or less

+410
+she was goine out into the village on some arand when as she was descending the steep street her foot slipped on t ice and she fell it was dark and knoand saw her mischance till after a time her growns attracted the attention of a passor by
+411
+unfortunately the fracture cannot be set till six oclock the next morning as no surgon was to be had before that time and she now lies at her house in a very doubtful and dangerous state
+412
+however remembering what you told me namely that you had commended the matter to a higher decision than ours and that you were resolved to submit with resignation to that decision whatever it might be i hold it my duty to yeld also and to be silent and may be all for the best
+413
+after this disappointment i never dare ruckin with certainty on the enjoyment of a pleasure again it seems as if some fitality stood between you and me
+414
+i am not good enough for you and you must be kept from the contamination of two intimate society

+416
+tabbey had lived with them for ten or twelve years and was as sharlet expressed it one of the family
+417
+he refused at first to listen to the careful advice it was repugnant to his liberal nature
+418
+this decision was communicated to the girls
+419
+tabby had tended them in their childhood they and none other should tend her in her infirmity and age
+420
+at tea time they were sad and silent and the meal went away untoched by any of the three
+421
+she had another waite on her mind this christmas
+422
+but ana had begun to suffer just before the hollidays and sharlet watched over her younger sisters with the jellous vigilance of some wild creature that changes her very nature if danger threatens her young
+423
+stung by angiety for this little sister she upbreated miss doublu for her fancied indifference to an state of health
+424
+still her heart had received a shock in the perception of ans delicacy and all these hollidays she watched over her with the longing fond angiety which is so full of sudden pangs of fear
+425
+i doubt whether brownwell was maintaining himself at this time
+426
+everyone could observe his agitation and prostration a prostration which was indeed the more remarkable since people were not accoustomed to see him with his arms hanging listlessly by his side his head bewildered and his eyes with all their bright intelligence bedimd
+427
+upon this madame dained to turn her eyes languishingly towards the compt observing
+428
+do you think so she replied with indifference
+429
+yes the character which your royal highness assumed is in perfect harmony with your own
+430
+explaine yourself
+431
+i allude to the gatdus
+432
+the princess inquired no
+433
+she then rose humming the air to which she was presently going to dance
+434
+the errel pirched his heart and wounded him mortally
+435
+a quarter of an hour afterwards he returned to the theator but it will be readily believed that it was only a powerful effort of reason over his great excitement that enabled him to go back or perhaps for love was thus strangely constituted he found it impossible even to remain much longer separated from the presence of one who had broken his heart
+436
+when she perceived the young man she rose like a woman surprised in the midst of ideas she was desirous of concealing from herself
+437
+remain i emplore you the evening is most lovely
+438
+indeed ah
+439
+i remember now and i congratulate myself do you love any one
+440
+forgive me i hardly know what i am saying a thousand times forgive me madame was right quite right this brutal exile has completely turned my brayin
+441
+there cannot be a doubt he received you kindly for in fact you returned without his permission
+442
+oh madmoasel why have i not a devoted sister or a true friend such as yourself
+443
+what already here they said to her
+444
+i have been here this quarter of an hour replied lavallie
+445
+did not the dancing amuse you no
+446
+no more than the dancing
+447
+le valie is quite a poetous said torne cherrand
+448
+i am a woman and there are few like me whoever loves me flatteres me whoever flatters me pleases me and whoever pleases well said montelet you do not finish
+449
+it is too difficult replied mademoasel datana charran laughing loudly
+450
+look younder do you not see the moon slowly rising silvering the topmost branches of the chestnuts and the okes
+451
+exquisite sofft turf of the woods the happiness which your friendship confers upon me
+452
+well said mademoasel deternechialant i also think a good deal but i take care
+453
+to say nothing said montele so that when mademasel detornecherant thinks ethene is the only one who knows it
+454
+quick quick then among the high reed grass said montele stoop atthiney you are so tall
+455
+the young girls had indeed made themselves small indeed invisible
+456
+she was here just now said the count
+457
+you are pousitive then
+458
+yes but perhaps i frightened her in what way
+459
+how is it lavalier said madmoasel de terne cherrant that the vicomp der brag alone spoke of you as louisee
+460
+it seems the king will not consent to it
+461
+good gratious has the king any right to interfieare in matters of that kind
+462
+i give my consent
+463
+oh i am speaking seriously replied monteler and my opinion in this case is quite as good as the kingas i suppose is it not louiese
+464
+let us run then said all three and gracefully lifting up the long skirts of their silk dresses they lightly ran across the open space between the lake and the thickest covert of the park
+465
+in fact the sound of madames and the queens carriages could be heard in the distance upon the hard dry ground of the roades followed by the mountain cavalliers
+466
+in this way the fet of the whole court was a fet also for the misterious inhabitants of the forest for certainly the dear ind the brake the peasant on the branch the foxs and its whole were all listening
+467
+at the conclusion of the banquet which was served at five oclock the king entered his cabinet where his tailors were awaiting him for the purpose of traying on the celebrated costume representing spring which was the result of so much imagination and had caoustd so many efforts of thought to the designers and ornament workers of the court
+468
+ahh very well
+469
+let him come in then said the king and as if colber had been listening at the door for the purpose of keeping himself aucorant with the conversation he entered as soon as the king had pronounced his name to the two quartiers
+470
+gentlemen do your poasts whereupon saint anian and vilerroy took their lieave
+471
+certainly sire but i must have money to do that whohet
+472
+what do you mean inquired louise
+473
+he has given them with too much grace not to have others still to give if they are required which is the case at the present moment
+474
+it is necessary therefore that he should comply the king frowned
+475
+dous your magesty then no longer believe the disloyal attempt
+476
+not at all you are on the contrary most agreeable to me
+477
+your magestiys plan then in this affair is
+478
+you will take them from my private treasure
+479
+the news circulated with the rapidity of lightning during its progress it kindled every variety of coketry desire and wild ambition
+480
+the king had compleated his toilet by nine oclock he appeared in an open carriage decorated with branches of trees and flowers
+481
+the queens had taken their seaets upon a magnificent daus or platform arrected upon the borders of the lake in a theator of wonderful elegance of construction
+482
+suddenly for the purpose of restoring peace in order spring accompanied by his whole court made his appearance
+483
+the seasons alise e spring followed him closely to form a quadrial which after many words of more orless flattering import was the commencement of the dance
+484
+his legs the best shaped at court were displayed to great advantage in flesh colured silkan hose of silk so fine and so transparent that it seemed almost like flesh itself
+485
+there was something in his carriage which resembled the boyant movements of an immortal and he did not dance so much as seemed to sor along
+486
+yes it is suppressed
+487
+far from it sire your magesty havent given no directions about it the musicians have retained it
+488
+yes sire and ready dressed for the balle
+489
+sire he said your magestys most devoted servant approaches to perform a service on this occasion with similar jeal that he has already shown on the field of battle
+490
+the king seemed only pleased with everyone present
+491
+monsiere was the only one who did not understand anything about the matter
+492
+the ballay began the effect was more than beautiful
+493
+when the music by its bursts of melody carried away these illustrious dancers when the simple untuitered pantamime of that period only the more natural on account of the varyin different acting of the august actors had reached its colmonating point of triumph the theator shook with tomultuous aplaus
+494
+disdainful of a success of which madame showed no acnowlegement he thought of nothing but boldly regaining the markete preference of the princess
+495
+by degrees all his happiness all his brilliancy subsided into regret and uneasiness so that his lims lost their power his arms hung heavily by his sides and his head druped as though he was stupified
+496
+the king who had from this moment become in reality the principal dancer in the quadriel castd a look upon his vanquished rival
+497
+he passes abruptly from persons to ideas and numbers and from ideas and numbers to persons from dhe heavens to men from astronomy to fhysiology he confuses or reavher dos not distinguish subject and object first and final causes and is dreaming of geometrical figures lost in e fluts of sens
+498
+the influence which de tymeus has exercised upon posterity is dub partly to a misunderstanding
+499
+in the supposed depths of this dialog the neo platonists found hidden meanings in connections with the juish and christian scriptures and out of them they illicited doctrins quiete at variance with this spiriot of plato
+500
+they were absorbed in his theology and were under the dominion of his name while that which was truly great and truly characteristic in him his effort to realized and connect abstractions was not understood by them at all
+501
+there is no danger of the modern commontators on de timeus falling into the absurdities of the neo platnists
+502
+in the present day we are well aweare that an encient philosopher is to be interprited from himself and by the contemporary history of thought
+503
+the fancies of the neo platnists are only interesting to us because they exibite a fase of the human mind which prevaled widly in the first centuries of the christian era and is not holely extinct in our own day
+504
+but they have nothing to do with the interpretation of plato and in spirit they are apposed to him
+505
+we do not know how plato would have arranged his own diologs or whether the thought of arranging any of thim besides the twu trilogies which he has expressly connected was ever present to his mind
+506
+the dialog is primarily concerned with the animal creation including under this term the heavenly bodies and with men only as one among the animals
+507
+but he has not as yet thefined this intermediate territory which liyes somewheare between medicin and mathematic and he would have felt that there was as great an inpiety in rinking theories of fysics first in the order of nowlege as in placing de body before the soul
+508
+with hiraclitis he acnoleges the perpetual flux like an exagurus he asserts the predominance of mind although admitting an element of necessity which reason is incapable of subduing like the pithagorians he supposes the mistory of the world to be contained in number
+509
+many if not all the elements of the prisocredic fhilosophy are included in dotimius
+510
+it is probable that the relation of the ideas to god or of god to the world was differently conceived by him at different times of his life
+511
+the ideas also remain but they have become tipes in nature forms of men animals birds fishes
+512
+the stile and plen of dhe tymius differe greatly from that of any other of the platonic dialogs
+513
+but plato has not the same mestory over his instrument which he exibits in the federes or symposium
+514
+nothing can exceed the beauty or art of the introduction in which his using words after his accustomed manner
+515
+but in the rest of the work the power of language seems to fail him and the dramatic forom is holely given up
+516
+he could rite in one stile but not in another in the greek language had not as yet been fashioned by any poete or fhilosopher to describe fhysical fenomeno
+517
+and hence we find the same sort of clemsiness in the temeus of plato which characterizes the fhilosofhical poim of licrichius
+518
+there is a wont of flow and often a deefect of rithm the meaning is sometimes obscure and there is a greater use of apposition in more of repetition than occurs in platos earlier ritings
+519
+plato had not the command of his materials which would have enabled him to produce a perfect work of art
+520
+socratiese begins de tymeus with a summory of the republic
+521
+and now he desired to see the ideal state set in motion he would like to know how she behaved in some great struggle
+522
+and therefore to you i turtimius citisan of lawcris who are at once a fhilosofher in a statesman and to you cridius whom all othenians know to be simularly accomplished and to hermocrities who is also fitted by nature and education to shaire in our discourse

+some poems of sollen were recited by the boys

+and what was the subject of the poem said the person who made the remark
+527
+the subject was a very noble one had described the most famous action in which the othenian people were ever engaged
+528
+but the memory of their exploites had passed away owing to the lapse of time and the extinction of the actors

+for at the perol of her own existence and when the other hellins had deserted her she repelled the invador and of her own accord gave liberty to all the nations within the pillors
+540

+618
+what is called perception differs from sensation by the fact that the sensational ingrediente bring up habitual associates images and expectations of their usual corolets all of which are subjectively indistinguishible from the sensation
+619
+whether or not this principal is liable to exceptions every one would agree that it has a broad measure of truth though the word exactly might seem an overstatement and it might seem more correct to say that ideas approximately represent impressions
+620
+and what sort of evidence is logically possible
+621
+there is no logical impossibility in the hipothesis that the world sprang into being five minutes ago exactly as i then was with the population that remembered a holy unreal past
+622
+all that i am doing is to use its logical tunobility as a help in the analisis of what occures when we remember
+623
+the behavirest who attempts to make sychology a record of behavior has to trust his memory ind making the record
+624
+habbit is a concept involving the accurente of similar events at different times if the behaviorest fells confident that there is such a fenomenon as habit that can only be because he trusts his memory when it assures him that there have been other times
+625
+but i do not think such an ifference is warnted
+626
+our confidence or lack of confidence in the accuracy of a memory image must in fundamental cases be bast upon a characteristic of the image itself since we cannot evoke the past boddily and compar it with the present image
+627
+we sometimes have images that are by no means peculiarly vege which yet we do not trust for example under the influence of fatige we may see a friends face vividly and clearly but horribly distorted
+628
+some images like some sensations fell very familiar while others fell strange
+629
+familiarity is a filling capable of degrees
+630
+in an image of a well known face for example some parts may feel more familiar than otherwhen this happens we have more belief in the accuracy of the familiar parts than in that of the unfarmiliar parts
+631
+i come now to the other characteristic which memory images must have in order to account for our nolege of the past
+632
+they must have some characteristic which makes us regard them as refering to more orless remote portions of the past
+633
+in actual fact there are doubtless various factors that concur in giving us the filling of greater or less remoteness an some remembered event
+634
+there may be a specific filling which could be called the filling of pastness especially where immediate memory is concerned
+635
+there is of course a difference between knowing the temporal relation of a remembered event to the present and knowing the time order of two remembered events
+636
+it would seem that only rather reecent events can be placed at all accurately by means of fielings giving their temporal relation to the presentbut it is clear that such fillings must play an escentral part in the process of dating remembered events
+637
+if we had retained the subject or act in nowlege the whole problem of memory would have been comparatively simple
+638
+remembering has to be a present accurance in some way resembling or related to what is remembered
+639
+some points may be taken as fixt and such as any theery of memory must arrive at
+640
+in this case as in most others what may be taken as certain in advance is rather vag
+641
+the first of our vege but indubitable data is that there is nowlege of the past
+642
+we might provisionally though perhaps not quite correctly define memory as that way of knowing about the past which has kno annalog in our noulege of the future such a definition would at least serve to mark the problem with which we are concerned thoughe some expectations may deserve to rank with memory as regards immediacy
+643
+this distinction is vital to the understanding of memorbut it is not so easy to carry out in practice as it is to draw in theary
+644
+a gramafhone by the healp of suitable records might relate to us the incidentes of its past and people are not so different from gramafones as they liked to believe
+645
+i can set to work now to remember things i never remembered before such as what i had to eat for breakfast this morning and it can hardly be holely habit that enables me to do this
+646
+the fact that a man can recite a poem dos not show that he remembers any previous occasion on which he has recided or read it
+647
+simons two books mentioned in an earlier lexure do not touch nolege memory at all closely
+648
+they give laws according to which images of past accurences come into our minds but do not discuss our belief that these images refer to past accurences which is what constitutes nolege memory
+649
+it is this that is of enturest to thery of nowlege
+650
+it is by now means always reliable almost everybody has at some time experienced the well known allusion that all that his happening now happened before at some time
+651
+whenever the sense of familiarity occures without a definite object it leads us to serch the enviroement until we are satisfied that we have found the appropriate object which leads us to the jugement this is farmilliar
+652
+thus no knoulege as to the past is to be derived from the filling of familiarity alone
+653
+a further stage is recognition
+654
+recognition in this sense dos not necessarily involve more than a habit of association the kind of object we are seeing at the moment is associated with the word cat or with an ouditory image of perring or whatever other characteristic we may happen to recognise in the cat of the moment
+655
+we are of course in fact able to juge when we recognise and object that we have seen it before but this judgement is something over and above recognition in this first sence and may very probably be impossible to animals that never theless have the experience of recognition in this first sense of the word
+656
+this nowlege is memory in one sense though in another it is not
+657
+there are however several points in which such an account of recognition is inadequate to beginn with it might seem at first sight more correct to define recognition as i have seen this before than as this has existed before
+658
+the definition of my experience is difficult broadly speaking it is everything that is connected with what i am experiencing now by certain links of which the various forms of memory are among the most important
+659
+thus if i recognize a thing the occasion of its previous existence in virtue of which i recognise it forms part of my experience by definition recognition will be one of the marks by which my experience is singled out from the rest of the world
+660
+of course the words this has existed before are of very inadequate translation of what actually happens hen we form a jugment of recognition but that is unavoidable words are framed to express a level of thought which is by no means primitive and are quite incapable of expressing such an elementary accurance as recognition

+672
+now the abject of this sililequey is plain
+673
+indeed our resolution mbeing the keanoute of hamlets so litloqu a clever player could to some extent indicate the whole thirty lines by a silente working of the ja but at the same time it would be idal to deny that he would miss the finer shades of the dramatists meaning
+674
+we moderns however see the absurdity of it
+675
+if it be granted first that the thoughts of a certain character should be known to the audiente and secondly that salitliqu or the habits of thinking aloud is in opposition to modern stage tecnick how m shallo soliliquiy be avoided without damage to the play
+676
+and soom till you get to the end whene ovilia might say ah yes or something non commiddle of that sort
+677
+this would be an easy way of doing it but it would not be the best way for the reason that it is too easy to call attention to itself
+678
+ind the old badly made play it was frequently necessary for one of the characters to take the audiante into his compedence
+679
+in the modern well constructed play he simply rings up an imaginary confederate and tells them what he is going to do could anything be more natural

+709

+710
+but here he was at a terrible disadvantage as compared with the owls hoks and egls he had no rending claws
+711
+but suddenly streaght and swift as a diving cormorant he shot down undor the torrent and disappeared beneath the surface
+712
+once fairly a wing however he wealed and made back huridly for his perch
+713
+it might have seemed that a trout of this sise was a fairly substancial meal
+714
+but such was his keanness that even while the wide flouoks of his ingorged victim were still sticking out at the corners of his beak his fearce red eyes were wonce more pearing downward into the torrent in serch of fresh pray
+715
+in despair he hurled himself downward too soon
+716
+the great hock follwed hurridly to retreeve his pray from the ground
+717
+the cat growled softly picked up the prise in her jawls and trotted into the bushes to devour it
+718
+infact he had just finished it the last of the trots tail had just vanished with a spasum down his strained gullet when the bafvol holk caught sight of him and sweoped
+719
+the halk allighted on the dead branch and sat upright motionless as if surprised
+720
+like his unfortunate little cousan the teal he too had felt the fear of death smitten into his heart and was headding desperately for the refuge of some dark overhanging bank deep fringed with weads where the dreadful eye of the hok should not discern him
+721
+the holk sat upon the branch and wattched his quariye swimming beneath the surface
+722
+almost instantly he was forched to the top
+723
+straight way the holk  glided from his perch and darted after him
+724
+but at this point in the rappids it was impossible for him to stay down
+725
+but this freequenture of the heights of air for all his savage valler was troubled at the leaping waves in the tossing fome of these mad rappids he did not understand them
+726
+as he flew his down reaching clutching talents were not half a yard above the fugitives head
+727
+where the waes for an instant sank they came closer but not quite within grasping reach
+728
+but as before the leaping waves of the rappids were too much for his pursuer and he was able to flapp his way onward in a cloud of fome while duome hung low above his head yet hesitated to strike
+729
+the holk embittered by the loss of his first quurry had become as doged in pursute as a weasal not to be shaken off or evaded or deceived
+730
+he had a lot of line out and the place was none too free for a long cast but he was impatient to dropp his flyes again on the spot were the big fish was feading

+the last dropfly as luck would have it goght just in the corner of the holks angrily open beake hooking itself firmly
+732
+at the sudden sharp sting of it the great bird turned his head and noticed for the first time the fishermen standing on the bank

+i believ in the training of people to their has capacity the englishman here heartily seconded him
+744
+but cresswell added significantly capacity differs enormousley between races
+745
+the vanderpools were sure of this and the englishman instancing india became quite eloquent missus gray was mistified but hardly dared admitted the general trend of the conversation seemed to be that most individuals neeted to be submitted to the sharpers scrutiny before being allouwed much education and as for the lower races it was simply criminal to open such useless opportunities to them
+746
+positively heroic added cresswell avoiding his sisters eyes
+747
+but weare not a exactly welcome
+748
+merry tale ho however rerelated the tale of zora to missus grays private ear later
+749
+fortunately said mister vanderpoul northern nose and sutherners all ariving at a better mutual understanding on most of these matters
+750
+in the debate between the signor societies her defence of the fifteenth amendment had been not only a notale bitt of reasoning but delivered with reaal enthusiasm
+751
+the south she had not thought of seriously and yet knowing of its delightful hospitality and mild climate she was not adverse to charleston or new orlands
+752
+john tailer who had supported her through cotlage was interested in cotten
+753
+better go he had councils santentiously
+754
+might learn something useful down there
+755
+but johhn there is no society just elementary work
+756
+been looking up tooms county
+757
+find some crustwells there big plantations reated at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
+758
+some others too bi coten county
+759
+you ought to know john if i teach negrows ill scarcely see much of people in my own class
+760
+at any rate i say go
+761
+here she was teaching dirty children and ha smell of confused oders and bodily persparation was to her at times unbarable
+762
+she wanted a glance of the new books in periodicals and talk of great filanthropies and reforms
+763
+so for the hundreth time she was thinking today as she walked alone up the lain back of the barn and then slowly down thogh the bottoms
+764
+catn she paused
+765
+she had almost forgotten that it was here within toch ind sight
+766
+the glimmering sea of delicate leaves whispered and murmoured before her stretching away to the northward
+767
+there might be a bit of poetry here and there but most of this place was such desperat prose
+768
+her regard shifted to the green stocks and leaves again and she started to move awayy
+769
+caton is a wonderful thing is it not boys she said rather primly
+770
+miss tailer did not know much about cotton but at least one more remarked seeme called for
+771
+do no well of all things inwadly commented miss taler litterly borne and cotton and oh well as much as to ask whats the use she turned again to go
+772
+i suppose though its too early for them then came the explosion
+773
+goobles dont grow on de tops of bans but onder ground on the roots like gaams is that so
+774
+the golden fleace its the sylver fleace he harkened
+775
+some time you tell me please wont you
+776
+now for one little half hour she had been a woman talking to a boy no not even that she had been talking just talking there were no persons in the conversation just things one thing coten
+777
+he knew the silver fleace his and soras must be ruined
+778
+it was the first great sorrow of his life it was not so much the loss of the cotin itself but the fantasy the hopes the dreams bult around it
+779
+ah the swamp the cruel swamp
+780
+the revelation of his love lighted and brightened slowly til it flamed like a sun rise over him and lept him in burning wonder
+781
+he panted to know if she too knew or knew and cared not or cared and knew not
+782
+she was so strange and human a creature
+783
+the world was water vailed in mists
+784
+then of a sudden at mid day the sun shot out hot and still no breath of air stired the sky was like blue steal the earth steamed
+785
+where was the use of imagining
+786
+the lugune had been levele with the diks a week ago and now
+787
+perhaps she too might be there waiting weeping
+788
+he started at the thought he hurried forth sadly
+789
+he splashed and stamped along farther and arther onward until he neared the rampard of the clearing and put fot upon the tree bridge
+790
+then he looked down the lagoone was dry
+791
+he stood a moment bewildered then turned and rushed upon the island a great sheat of dasling sunlight swept the place and beneath lay a mighty mass of olave green thick tall wet and willowwy
+792
+the squares of cotten sharp edged heavy were just about to burst to bols
+793
+for one long moment he paused stupid a gape with utter amasement then leaned disily against a tre
+794
+he gazed about perplexed astonished
+795
+here lay the reading of the riddle with infinite work and pains someone had dug a canal from the lagoone to the creek into which the former had drained by a long and crocked way thus allowing it to empty directly
+796
+he sat down weak bewildered and one thought was upper most sora
+797
+the years of the days of her ding were ten
+798
+the hope and dream of harvest was upon the land
+799
+up in the sick room jora lay on the little white bed
+800
+the net and web of endless things had been crawling and creaping around her she had struggled in dom speachless terror against some mighty grasping that stroe for her life with narled and creaping fingers but now at last weaekly she opened her eyes and questioned
+801
+for a while she lay in her chair in happy dreamy pleasure at sun and bird and trey
+802
+she rose with a fleating glance gathered the shawl around her then gliding forward waivoering tremulous slipped across the rod and into the swamp
+803
+she had been born within its borders within its borders she had lived in grone and within its border she had met her love
+804
+on she hurried until sweeping down to the leagon and the iland low the cottain lay before her
+805
+the chair was empty but he knew
+806
+he darted hrough the trees and paused a tall man strongly but slimly made
+807
+ojo examined this curious contrivance with wonder
+808
+margulot had first made the girls form from the patchwork quillt and then she had dressed it with a patch work skirt and in apron with pockets in it using the same game material througwh out
+809
+the head of the patchwork girl was the most curious part of her
+810
+the hair was of brown yarn and hung down on her neck in several neet brades
+811
+gold is the most common meddle in the land of as and is used for many purposes because it is soft and pliable
+812
+no i forgott all about the brains exclaimed the woman
+813
+well that may be true agreed margalot but on the contrary a servant with too much brains is sure to become independent and high and mighty and feel above her work
+814
+she poured into the dish a quantity from each of these bottles
+815
+i think that will do she continued for the other qualities are not needed in a servant
+816
+she ran to her husband side at once and helped him lift the four cattles from the fire
+817
+their contents had all boiled away leaving in the bottom of each cattle a few grains of fine white pouder
+818
+very carefully the majician removed this powder placing it alltogether in a golden dish where he mixed it with a golden spoon
+819
+no one saw him do this for all were looking at the powder of life but soon the woman remembered what she had been doing and came back to the cubord
+820
+ojo became a bit uneasy at this for he had already put quite a lot of the cleverness pouder in the dish but he dared not interfear and so he comforted himself with the thought that one coalnnot have too much cleverness
+821
+he selected a small gold bottle with a pepperboxe top so that the powder might be sprincled on any object through the small holes
+822
+most people talk too much so it is a relief to find one who talks too little
+823
+i am not allowed to perform madgic except for my own amusement he told his visitors as he lighted u pipe with a crookend stem and began to smoke
+824
+the wisad of as who used to be a humbug and knew no madjic at all has been taking lessens of glinda and im told he is getting to be a pretty good wisard but he is mearely the assistant of the great sourcers
+825
+it truly is asserted the majitian
+826
+i now use them as  ornamental stattuary in my garden
+827
+dear me what a chatter boxs youre getting to be yunk remareked the majician who was pleased with the compliment
+828
+asked the voice in scornful accente
+829
+he wore blue silk stockings blue neap pans with gold buckles a blue ruffhled waste and a jacket of right blue brated with gold
+830
+his hat had a peaked crown at a flat brim and around the brim was te row of tiny golden bells that tinkled when he moved
+831
+instead of shos the old man wore boots with turn over tops and his blue coat had wide cuffs of gold brade
+832
+for a long time he had wished to explore the beautiful land of as in which they lived
+833
+when they were outside ung simply latched the door and started up the path
+834
+no one would disturb their little house even if anyone came so far into the thick forest while they were gone
+835
+at the foot of the mountain that separated the country of the munchkins from the country of the gillicons the path divided
+836
+he knew it would take them to the house of the crooked majician whom he had never seen but who was their nearest neighbor
+837
+all the morning they truged up the mountain path and at noon unc and ojo sat on a fallen tree trunk and ate the last of the bread which the old munshkin had placed in his pocket
+838
+then they started on again and two hours later came insight of the house of doctor pipt
+839
+unc nocked at the door of the house and a chubby pleasant faced woman dressed all in blue opened it and greeted the visitors with a smile
+840
+i am my dear and all strangers are welcomed to my home
+841
+we have come from a fir lonlier place than this alonlier place
+842
+and you must be od jothe unlucky she added
+843
+ojo had never eaten such a fine meal in all his life
+844
+we are traveling replied o jo and we stoppat your house just to rest and refresh ourselves
+845
+the woman seemed thoughtful
+846
+at one end stood a great fireplace in which a blue log was blazing with a blue flame and over the fire hung four cettles in a row all bubbling and steaming at a great rate
+847
+it takes me several years to make this magic pouder but at this moment i am pleased to say it is nearly done you see i am making it for my good wife margerlot who wants to use some of it for a purpose of her own
+848
+you must know said margalot when they were all seated together on the broad window seat that my husband foolishly gave away all the powder of life he d first made to old mombiy the witch who used to live in the country of the gillicons to the north of here
+849
+the first lot we tested on our glass cat which not only began to live but has lived ever since
+850
+i think the next glass cap the majician makes will have neither brains nor heart for then it will not object to catching mice and they prove of some use to us
+851
+im afraid i dont know much about the land of os
+852
+you see ihave lived all my life with unk nunky the silent one and there is no one to tell me anything
+853
+that is one reason you are ow jo the unlucky said the woman in a sympathetic tone
+854
+i think i must show you my patchwork girl said margulot laughing at the boys astonishment for she is rather difficult to explain
+855
+but first i will tell you that for many years i have longed for a servant to help me with the house work and to coke the meals and washd the dishes
+856
+yet that task was not so easy as you may suppose
+857
+a bed quilt made of patches of different kinds and colors of cloth all neatly sod together
+858
+sometimes it is called a crazy quillt because the patches and colers are so mixed up
+859
+when i found it i said to myself that it would do nicely for my servant girl for when she was brought to life she would not be proud nor haughty as the glass cat is for such a dreadful mixture of colors would discourage her from trying to be as dignified as the blue munchigins are
+860
+at the emerald city where our princess ousma lives green is the popular colour
+861
+i will show you what a good job i did and she went to a tall cubord and threw open the doors
+862
+the greatful aplause of the clurgy has consecrated the memory of a prince who indulged their passions and promoted their interest
+863
+the edict of millan the great charter of toleration had confirmed to each individual of the roman world the privilege of choosing and professing his own religion
+864
+but this inestimable privilege was soon violated with the nowlege of truth the emperor embibed the maxims of persecution and the sects which descented from the catholic church were afflicted and opressed by the triumpfh of christianity
+865
+constanteine easily believed that the heritics who presumed to dispute his opinions or to oppose his commands were gilty of the most absurd and chriminal obstinacy and that a seasonable application of moderate severities might save those unhappy men from the danger of an everlasting condemnation
+866
+some of the peanor regulations were coppied from the edicts of dieclition and this method of conversion was applouded by the same byshops who had felt the hand of oppression and pleated for the rights of humanity
+867
+they asserted with confidence and almost with exaltation that the apostolical succession was interrupted that all the bisheps of urop and asia were inffected by the contagion of gilt and skisom and that the prerogatives of the cathlic church were confined to the chosen portion of the african believers who alone had preserved in violet the integrity of their faith and discipline

+biships virgins and even spotless infante were subjected to the disgrace of a public penante before they could be admitted to the communion of the donatists

+it was one of the masterly and charming stories of demaw the elder
+871
+in five minutes i was in a new world and my melancholy room was full of the liveliest french company
+872
+the sound of an imperative and uncompromising bell recalled me in dew time to the regions of reality
+873
+ambrows met me at the bottom f the stairs and showed me the way to the supper room
+874
+she sined to me with a goastly solimnity to take the vacant place on the left of her father
+875
+the door opened again while i was still studying the two brothers without i honestly confessed being very favorably empressed by either of them
+876
+a new member of the family circle who instantly attracted my attention entered the room
+877
+a little crack that in the popular frase was my impression of the stranger who now made his appearance in the supper room
+878
+mister medecrofft the elder having not spoken one word thus far himself intrduced the newcomer to me with a sigde glance at his sons which had something like defience in it a glance which as i was sory to notice was returned with the defience on their side by the two young men
+879
+pilip le frank this is my overlooker mister yargo said the old man formally presenting us
+880
+he is not well he has come over the osion for rest and change ha cene
+881
+mister yago is in american philip
+882
+make acquaintace with mister yago sit together
+883
+they pointedly drew back from john yago as he approached the empty chair next to me and movedround to the opposite side of the table
+884
+a pretty girl and so far as i could judge by appearances a good girl to describing her generally i may say that she had a small head well carried and well set on her shoulders bright gray eyes that looked at you honestly and ment what they looked a trim slight little figure too slight for our english notions of beauty a strong american accent and a rare thing in america a pleasantly tone voice which made the accent agreeable to english years
+885
+our first impressions of people are in nine cases at of ten the right indpressions
+886
+for once an away i prooved a true profit
+887
+the only cheerful conversation was the conversation across the table between aomi and mi
+888
+he looked up at neome dowtingly from his plate and looked down again slowly with a frown
+889
+when i addressed him he answered constrainedly
+890
+a more dreary and more dis united family party i never sait at the table with
+891
+enviy hatred malluse and uncharritableness are never so escencually detestable to my mind as hen they are animated by the sense of propriety and work under the surface but for my interest tin nhey ow me and my other interest in the little love looks which ir now and then surrised passing between herand ambrows i should never have sat hrough that supper
+892
+i wish you good night she layd her bony hands on the back of mister mettecroffs invallide chair cut him shortin his fairwell salutation to me and wealed him out to his bed as if she were wealing him out to his grave
+893
+you were quit right to say no ambros began never smoke wit johnniago his sigars will poisen you

+chapter seven on the races of man
+897
+in determining whether two or more alliede forms ought to be ranked to species or varieties naturallits are practically gided by the following considerations namely the amount of difference between them and whether such differences relate to few or many points of structure and whether they are of fhysiological importance but more especially whether they are constant
+898
+at another time herild asked
+899
+what is your country olof have you always been a thrawl the thrawls eyes flashed
+900
+two hundred wariers feasted in his hall and followed him to battle
+901
+the rest of yow off aviking he had three ships
+902
+these he gave to three of my brothers
+903
+but i stayed that spring and built me a boat
+904
+i made er for only twenty ors because i thought few men would follow me for i was young fifteen years old
+905
+at the prow i carfed the head with open mouth and forked tong thrust out
+906
+i painted the eyes read for anger
+907
+there stand so i said an glare and hiss it my foe
+908
+in the stiern i carved the tail up almost as high as the head
+909
+there she sat on the rollers as fair a ship as i ever saw
+910
+then i will get me a farm and will winer in that land now who will follow me
+911
+hes but a boy the man said
+912
+thirty men one after another raised their horns and said
+913
+as our boat flashed down the rollers into the water i made this song and sang it
+914
+so we harried the coast of norwey
+915
+we adet many mens tables uninvided
+916
+my dragons belly is never fall and on board went the gold
+917
+oh it is better to live on the se and let other men raise your cropps and cook your meals
+918
+a house smells of smoke a shipp smells of frolick
+919
+up and down the water we went to get much wealth and much frollic
+920
+what of the farm oloff not yet i answered viking is better for summer
+921
+it was so dark that i could see nothing but a few sparks on the harth
+922
+i stood with my back to the wall for i wanted no sword reaching out of the dark for me
+923
+come come i called when no one obayed a fire
+924
+my men laughed yes a stingy host
+925
+he ackts as though he had not expected us
+926
+on a bench in a far corner where a dosen people huddled together
+927
+bring in the table we are hungry
+928
+the thrawls were bringing in a great pot of meat
+929
+they set up a crain over the fire and hung the pot upon it and we sat and watched it boile while we joked at last the supper began
+930
+the farmer sat gloomily on the bench and would not eat and you cannot wonder for he saw us putting potfuls of his good beafh and basketlodes of bread into our big muthes
+931
+you would not eat with us you cannot say no to half of my al i drink this to your health
+932
+then i drank half of the hornfull and set the rest across the fire to the farmer he took it and smiled saying
+933
+did you ever have such a lordly guest before i went on
+934
+so i will give out this law that my men shall never leave you alone
+935
+holk an there shall be your constant companion friend farmer
+936
+he shall not leave you day or night whether you ere working ore playing or sleeping
+937
+i name nine others and said
+938
+and these shall follow your throls in the same way
+939
+so i set gards over everyone in that house
+940
+so no tails got out to the neighbors beside it was a lonely place and by good luck no one came that way
+941
+their eyes danced big tor liefe stood up and stretched himself
+942
+im stiff with long sitting he said i ach for a fight i turned to the farmer
+943
+this is our last feast with you i said
+944
+by the beard of oden i cried you have taken our joke like a man
+945
+my men pounded the table with their fists
+946

+and with it i leave you a name siff the friendly i shall hope to drink with you sometime in valhalla
+950
+here is a ring for sifthe friendly and here is a braclet and a sword would not be asshamed to hang at your side
+951
+i took five great graclets of gold from our treasure chest and gave them to him
+952
+that is the best way to decide for the spear will always point somewhere and one thing is as good as another
+953
+that time it pointed us into your fathers ships
+954
+here they said is a rascal who has been harrying our costs
+955
+we sunk his shipp and men but him we brought to you
+956
+a robber fiking said the king and he scouled at me
+957
+yes and with all your fingers it took you a ear to catch me the king frowned more angrily
+958
+take him out torcal and let him tast your swoard
+959
+your mother the queen was standing by
+960
+now she put er hand on his arm and smiled and said
+961
+and would he not be a good gift for our baby
+962
+your father thought a moment then looked at yoer mother and smiled
+963
+soft heart he said gently to her then de torkal well let hm go torkal
+964
+then he turned to me again frowning
+965
+but young sharp tong now that we have caught you we will put you into a trap that you canot get out of
+966
+so i lived and now am your tooth thrawll well it is the luck of war
+967
+it is manifest that man is now subject to much variability
+968
+so it is with the lower animals
+969
+the variability of multiple parts
+970
+but this subject will be more properly discussed when we treat of the different races of man kind
+971
+effects of the increased use and dis use of parts
+972
+i remained there alone for many hours but i must acknowulege that before i left the chambers i had gradually brought myself to look at the matter in another light
+973
+had ever cresweller not been good looking had jack been still at college had sir kenington ovil remained in england had mister bunnet and the barkeeper not succeeded in stopping my carriage on the hill should i have succeeded in arranging for the final deparchur of my old friend
+974
+on arriving at home at my own residence i found that arshalon was filled with a brilliant company
+975
+as i spoke i made him a gratious bow and i think i showed him by my mode of address that i did not bear any gruge as to my individual self
+976
+i have come to your shuores mister president with the purpose of seeing how things are progressing in this distent quarter of the world
+977
+we have our little struggles here as elsewhere and all things cannot be done by rosewarter
+978
+we are quite satisfied now captain baralaxe said my wife
+979
+quite satisfied said eva
+980
+the ladies in complience with that softness of heart which is their characteristic are on one side and the men by whom the world has to be managed ar on the other
+981
+no doubt in process of time the ladies will follow
+982
+theire masters said missus neverband
+983
+i did not mean said captain barilax to touch upon public subjects at such a moment as this
+984
+missus neverben you must indeed be proud of your son
+985
+jack had been standing in the far corner of the room talking to eva and was now reduced to silence by his praises
+986
+sir kenington ovil is a very fine player said my wife
+987
+i and my wife and son and the two cresstwellers and three or four others agreed to dine on bord the ship on the next
+988
+this i felt was paid to me as being president of ther republic and i endeavored to behave myself with such mingled humillity and dignity as might be fit the occasion but i could not but feel that something was wanting to the symplicity of my ordinary life
+989
+my wife on the spir of the moment mannaged to give the gentleman a very good dinner
+990
+this she said was true hospitality and i am not sure that i did not agree with thher
+991
+then there were three or four leading men of the community with their wives who were for the most part the fathers and mothers of the young ladies
+992
+oh yes said jack and im nowhare
+993
+but i mean to have my innings before long
+994
+of what missus neverben had gone through in providing birds beasts and fishes not to talk of tarts and jellies for the dinner of that day no one but myself can have any idea but it must be admitted that she accomplished her task with thurrow success
+995
+we sat with the officer some little time after dinner and then went ashore
+996
+how much of evil a real accomplished evil had there not occured to me during the last few days
+997
+what could i do now but just lay myself down and die
+998
+in the death of which i dremp could not alas
+999
+when this captain shoud have taken himself in his vessel back to england i would retire to a small farm which i possessed at the further side of the island and there in secclusion would i end my days
+1000
+jack would become evas happy husband and would remain a midst the hurried duties of the eager world
+1001
+thinking of all this i went to sleep
+1002
+mister neverbend began the captain and i observed that up to that moment he had generally addressed me as president it cannot be denied that we have come here on an unpleasant mission
+1003
+you have received us with all that courtasy and hospitality fom which your character  in england stands so high
+1004
+it is a duty said i
+1005
+but your power is so supperior to any that i can advance as to make us here feel that there is no disgrace in yelding to it
+1006
+not a dout but had your fource been only double or trouble our own i should have found it my duty to struggle with you
+1007
+that is all quite true mister neverben said sir firdenando brown
+1008
+i can afford to smile because i am absolutely powealless before you but i do nottheless feel that in a manter of which the progress of the world is concerned i or rather we have ben put down by bruate force
+1009
+you have come to us threatening us with absolute destruction
+1010
+therefore i feel myself quite able as president of this republic to receive you with a curtesy du to the servants of a friendly allye
+1011
+i can assure you he has not even allowed me to see the trigger since i have been on board
+1012
+then said sir firdernando there is nothing for it but that we must take you with him
+1013
+there came upon me a sudden shock when i heard these words which exceeded anything which i had yet fellt
+1014
+you hear what sir firdn andol brown has said replied captain battalaxe
+1015
+but what is the delicate mission i asked
+1016
+i was to be taken away and carried to england or elsewhere or drowned upon the voyage it matter not which
+1017
+then the republic of britan jula was to be declared as non existent and the brittish flag was to be exaulted and e brittish governor installed in the executive chambers
+1018
+you may be quite shore its there said captain batalaxe and that i can so use it as to half obliterate your town within two minutes of my return on board
+1019
+you proposed to kidnap me i said
+1020
+what wol become of your gun where i to kudnap you
+1021
+liutenant crosstrees is a very gallent officer
+1022
+one of us always remains on board while the other is onshure
+1023
+what world wide inniquity such a speach as that discloses said i still turning myself to the captain for though i would have crushed them both by my words had it been possible my dislike centered itself on ser furdenando
+1024
+you will allow me to suggest said he that that is a matter of opinion
+1025
+were i to compliy with your orders without expressing my own opinion i should seem to have done so willingly hereafter
+1026
+the letter ran as follows
+1027
+sir i have it in command to inform your excellency that you have been appointed governor of the crown coloney which is called brittain nula
+1028
+the peculiar circumstances of the colony are within your excellencies nowlege
+1029
+but in their sellection of a constitution the brittain nelists have unfortunately allowed themselves but one deliberate assembly and hence has sprung their present difficulties
+1030
+it is founded on the agnowleged weakness of those who survive that period of life at which men sease to work
+1031
+but it is surmised that you will find difficulties in the way of your entering at once upon your governor
+1032
+the john bright is arm with a wepan of great power against which it is impossible that the people of brittain ula should prevaile
+1033
+you will carry out with you one hundredt men of the north north west burmingham regiment which will probably suffice for your own security as it is thought that if mister neverbeeen be withdrawn the people will rever easily to their old habits of obediency
+1034
+whene do you intend that the jahm bright shall start
+1035
+to day i shouted
+1036
+and i have no one ready to whom i can give up the arcives of the government
+1037
+i shall be happy to take charge of them said sir firdnando
+1038
+they of course must all be auter
+1039
+or of the habits of our people it is quite impossible
+1040
+your power is sufficient i said
+1041
+if you will give us your promise to meet captemob adalaxs here at this time to morrow we will stretch a point and delay the departure of the john bright for twenty four hours
+1042
+and this plan was adopted too in order to extract from me a promise that i would depart in peace
+1043
+in every way they sought to undermine the authority of saint pall
+1044
+they said to the gelations you have no right to think highly of pall
+1045
+he was the last to turn to christ
+1046
+pall came later and is beneath us
+1047
+indeed he persecuted the church of crist for a long time
+1048
+do you suppose that god for the sake of a few lutheron heritics would disown his entire church
+1049
+against these boasting false oppossals pall boldly defends his apostolic authority and ministry
+1050
+as the ambassador of a government is honored for his office and not for his private person so the minister of crist should exalt his office in order to gaine authority among men
+1051
+pall takes pride in his ministry not to his own frase but to the prayse of god
+1052
+pall and opossal not of men etcetera
+1053
+either he calls ministers through the agency of men or he calls them directly as he caled the profits and apossals
+1054
+pall declares that the false appossls were called or sent neither by men nor by man
+1055
+the most they could claim is that they were semp by others
+1056
+he mentioneds the apossals first because they were appointed directly by god
+1057
+becall is not to be taken lightly
+1058
+for a person th possess nowlege is not enough
+1059
+it spoils ones best work
+1060
+when i was a young man i thought pall was making too much of his call
+1061
+i did not then reallise the importance of the ministery
+1062
+i knew nothing of the doctrine of faith because we were tought sofistory instead of certainty and nobody understood spiritual boasting
+1063
+this is no sinful pride it is wholy pride
+1064
+and god the father who raised him from the dead
+1065
+the clawse seemes superfulus on first sight
+1066
+these perverders of the righchousness of crist resist the father and the son and the works of them both
+1067
+in this whole episal pall treats of the resurrection of christ
+1068
+by his resurrection crist one the victory over law scin flesh world devil death hell and every evil
+1069
+first two
+1070
+and all the breathrin which are with me
+1071
+this should go far in shedding the mouthes to the fals opossals
+1072
+although the breatheren with me are not appossals like myself yet they are all of one mind with me think right and teach as i do
+1073
+they do not go where the enemies of the gosple predominate they go where the christians are
+1074
+why did they not invaide the catholic provinces and preach their doctrin to godles princes bishops and doctors as we have dhome by the help of god
+1075
+we look for that reward which i hath not seen nor ear herd neither have entered into the heart of man
+1076
+not all the glations had become perverted
+1077
+these means cannot be contaminated
+1078
+they remained divine regardless of mens opinions
+1079
+whereever the means of greace are found there is the wholy church even though anticrist rains there
+1080
+so much for the title of the episal now followes the greeting of the epossal vers three
+1081
+grace be to you and peace from god the father and from our lord jesus christ
+1082
+the terms of grace and peace are common terms with pawl and are now pretty well understood
+1083
+the greaeting of the apossal was refreshing
+1084
+grace involves the remission of sins peace and a happy consiance
+1085
+the world brins this a pernicious doctrine
+1086
+experience proves this
+1087
+however the grace and peace of god will
+1088
+men should not speculate about the nature of god
+1089
+was it not enough to save from god the father
+1090
+to do so is to loose god alltogether because god becomes intollerable when we seek to measure ind to comprehend his infinite magesty
+1091
+he came down to earth lived among men suffered was crucified and then he died standing clearly before us so that our hearts and eyes may fasten upon him
+1092
+embrace him and forget about the nature of god
+1093
+did not crist himself say i am the way and the truith and the life no man cometh unto the father but by me
+1094
+when you argue about the nature of god apart from the question of justification you may be as profound as you like
+1095
+we are to hear crist who has been appointed by the father as our divine teachur
+1096
+at the same time pall confirms our creed that crist is very god
+1097
+that crist is very god is apparent in that pall ascribes to him divine powers equally with the father as for instance the power to sispense grace ind peace
+1098
+to besto peace and grace lies in the province of god who alone can create these blessings the angels cannode
+1099
+otherwise pall shoudhave ritten grace from god the father and peace from our lord jesus crist
+1100
+the arians took crist for a noble and perfect creature supperior even to the angels because by him god created heaven and earth
+1101
+mohamet also speaks highly of crist
+1102
+pall sticks to his theam
+1103
+he never looses sight of the purpose of his episcal
+1104
+not gold or silver or pashal lambs or an angel but himself what for
+1105
+not for a crown or a kingdom or our goodness but for our sins
+1106
+under sqare these words for they are full of comfort for soure consiences
+1107
+how may we obtain remission of our sins
+1108
+pall answeres the man who his named jesus crist and the son of god gave himself for our sins
+1109
+since crist was given for our sins it stands to reason that they coalnnot be put away by our own efforts
+1110
+this sentence also definds our sins as great so great in fact that the whole world could not make ammense for a single sin
+1111
+the greatness of the ransome crist the son of god indicates this
+1112
+the vissious character of sin is brought out by the words who gave himself for our sins
+1113
+but we are careless we make light of sin
+1114
+we think that by some little work or merit we can dismiss in
+1115
+this passage then beares out the fact that all men are sould under sin
+1116
+this attitude springs from a false conception of sin the conception that sin is a small matter easily taken care of by good works that we must present ourselves unto god with a good consiense that we must feel no sin beforewe may feel that crist was given for our sense
+1117
+this attitude is universal and particularly developed in those who consider themselves better than others
+1118
+but the real significance and comfort of the words for our sins is lost upon them
+1119
+on the other hand we are not to regard them as so terrible that we must despair
+1120
+we want you to help us publish some leading work of luthers for the general american market will you do it
+1121
+the condition is that i will be permitted to make luther talk american stream line him so to speak because yu will never get people whether in or outside the lutheron church actually to read luther unless we make him talk as he would talk today to americans
+1122
+let us begin with that his commentary ungelations
+1123
+the undertaking which seemed so attractive when viewed as a literary task proved the most difficult one and at times became oppressive
+1124
+it was ritten in latten
+1125
+the work had to be condenced
+1126
+a word should now be said about the origin of luthers commentary angelations
+1127
+much later when a friend of his was preparing an eddition of all his lattain works he remarked to his home circle if i had my way about it they would republish only those of my books which have doctrin my gelations for instanceen
+1128
+in other words these three men took down the lectures which luther addressed to his students in the course of galationts and rawer prepared the manuscript for the printer
+1129
+it presents like no other of luthers ritings the central thought of christianity the justification of the sinner for the sake of crists merits alone
+1130
+but the essence of luthers lectures is there
+1131
+the lord who has given us power to teach and to hear let him also give us the power to serve and to do luke to
+1132
+the word of our god shall stand forever
+1133
+manehall liked alexander because he was an enginer
+1134
+he had creconceived ideas about everything and his idea about americans was that they should be engineers ar mechanics
+1135
+its tremendously well put on too
+1136
+its been on only two weeks and ive been half a dosan times already
+1137
+do you know alexander man hall looked with perplexity up into the top of the handsome and rubbed his pink cheek with his gloved finger do you know i sometimes think of taking to criticism seriously myself
+1138
+she saives her hand too shes at her best in the second act
+1139
+hes been wanting to marry hil o these three years and more
+1140
+she dosnt take up with anybody you know
+1141
+ireane burgoine one of her family told me in confidence that there was a romance somewhere back in the beginning
+1142
+manhal vouched for her constancy with a loftiness that made alexanders smile even while a kind of rappid excitement was tingling through him
+1143
+hes another whos offlly kean about her let me introduce you
+1144
+ser harry town mister bartly alexander the american enginer
+1145
+i say sir harry the little girls going famously tonight isnt she
+1146
+you know i thought the dance a bitk concious tonight for the first time
+1147
+westmear and iy were back after the first act and we thought she seemed quite uncertain of herself
+1148
+a little attack of nerves possibly
+1149
+he was beginning to feel th kean interest in the slender barfoot danky girl who slipped in and out of the play singing like someone winding through a hilly field
+1150
+one night when he and winneford were sitting together on the bridge he told that things had happened while he was studing abroad that he was sory for one thing in particular and he asked her whether she thought she ought to know about them
+1151
+she considered for a moment and then said no i think not thogh i am glad you ask me
+1152
+after that it was easy to forget actually to forget
+1153
+of course he reflected she always had that combination of something homely and sensible and something utterly wiled than dafd
+1154
+she must care about the theator a great deal more than she used to
+1155
+im glad shes helld her own sence
+1156
+after all we were awfully young
+1157
+i shouldnt wonder if she could laugh about it with me now
+1158
+hilder was very nigce to him and he sat on the edge of his chair flushed with his conversational efforts and moving his chin about nerously over his high coller
+1159
+they asked him to come to see them in chelsy and they spoke very tenderly of hilda
+1160
+lam wouldnt care a great deal about many of them i fancy
+1161
+when bartly arrived at bedford square on sunday evening marie the pretty little french girl met him at the door and conducted him up stairs
+1162
+i should never have asked you if mally had been here for i remember you dont like english cookery
+1163
+i havent had a chance yet to tell you what a jolly little place i think this is
+1164
+they are all sketches made about the villadesta you see
+1165
+those fellows are all very loyal even mainhall
+1166
+ive manadged to save something every year and that with helping my three sisters now and then and tiding poor cousan mice over bad seasons
+1167
+its not particularly rare she said but some of it was my mothers
+1168
+there was watercresst soop and soul and a delightful amlet stoufed with mushrims and truffels and two small rair ducklings and arda chokes and a dry yellow rone wine of which partly had always been very fond
+1169
+there is nothing else that looks so jolly
+1170
+thank you but i dont like it so well as this
+1171
+have you been in paris much a these late years
+1172
+there are few changes in the old quarter
+1173
+dont i thogh im so sorry to hear it how did heur son turn out
+1174
+her hair is still like flacks and her blue eyes are just like a babies and she has the same three freckles on her little nose and talks about going back to her bandemer
+1175
+how jolly it was being young hilde
+1176
+do you remember that first walk we took together in paris
+1177
+come well have heur coffy in the other room and you can smoke
+1178
+i think we did she answered demurely
+1179
+what she wanted from us was neither our flowers nor our franks but just our youth
+1180
+they were both remembering what the woman had said when she took the money god give you a happy love
+1181
+the strange woman and her passionate sentence that rang out so sharply had frightened them both
+1182
+bartly started when hillde rang the lttle bell beside her dear me why did you dou that
+1183
+it was very jolly he murmoured lasily as mariye came in to take away the coffhy
+1184
+have i told you about my new play
+1185
+when she finished alexander shook himself out of a revery
+1186
+nonsense of course i cant really sing except the way my mother and gram mother did before me
+1187
+its really too warm in this room to sing dont you feel it
+1188
+alexander went over and opened the window fore her
+1189
+there just in front
+1190
+he stood a little behind her and tried to study himself as he said its soft and missty see how white the stars are
+1191
+for a long time neither hilda nor bartly spoke
+1192
+he felt a trummer run through the slender yellow figure in front of him
+1193
+bartly leaned over her shoulder without touching her and whispered in her ear you are giving me a chance yes
+1194
+alexander cluenched the two hands at his sides
+1195
+the stop at queens town the teadious passage up the mercy were things that he noted dimly through his growing impatience
+1196
+she blushed and smiled and fumbled his card in her confusion before she ran up stairs
+1197
+alexander pasced up and down the hallway buttening and unbuttening his overcoat until she returned and took him up to hildas living room
+1198
+the room was empty when he entered
+1199
+alexander did not sit down
+1200
+i felt it in my bones when i woke thi smorning that something splended was going to turn up
+1201
+i thoght it might be sister cate or cousin mike would be happening along
+1202
+she pushed him toward the big chair by the fire and sat down on a stool at the opposite side of the hearth her neas drawn up to her chin laughing like a happy little girl
+1203
+whe did you come bartly and how did it happen you havent spoken a word
+1204
+i got in about ten minutes ago
+1205
+alexander leaned forward and warmed his hands before the blaje
+1206
+bartly bent lowared over the fire
+1207
+she looked at his heavy shoulders and bigg determined head thrustd forward like a catapolt in lish
+1208
+ill do anything you wish me too bartly she said tremolusly
+1209
+i cant stand seeing you miserable
+1210
+he pulled up a window as if the air were heavy
+1211
+hilde watched him from the corner trembling and scarcely breathing dark shadows growing about her eyes i
+1212
+but its worse now its unbearable
+1213
+i get nothing but misery out of either
+1214
+the world is all there just as it used to be but i cant get attit any more
+1215
+it was myself i was defying hilda
+1216
+hildas face quivered but she whispered yes i think it must have been
+1217
+but why didnt you tell me when you were here in the summer
+1218
+alexander groned i ment to but somehow i couldnt
+1219
+she pressed his hand gently in gratitude
+1220
+werent you happy then at all
+1221
+she closed her eyes and took a deep breath as if to draw in again the fragrance of those days
+1222
+he moved uneasily and his chair creeked
+1223
+yes yes she hurried pulling her heard gently away from him
+1224
+please tell me one thing bartly at least tell me that you believe i thought i was making you happy
+1225
+yes helda i know that he said simply
+1226
+i understand bartly i was rong
+1227
+but i didnt know youve only to tell me now
+1228
+what i mean is that i want you to promise never to see me again num hatter how often i come no matter how hard i begg
+1229
+keep away if you wish when have i ever followed you
+1230
+alexander rose and shook himself angrily yes i know im cowardly
+1231
+he took her ruffhlyg in his arms do you know what i mean
+1232
+ogh bartly what am i to do
+1233
+i will ask the least imaginable but i must have something
+1234
+i must know about you
+1235
+the sight of you bartly to see you living and happy and successful can i never make you understand what that means to me
+1236
+you see loving someone as i love you makes the whole world different
+1237
+and then you came back not caring very much but it made no difference
+1238
+bartly bent over and took her in his arms kissing her mouth and her wet tired eyes
+1239
+dont cry dont cry he whispered
+1240
+weve tortured each other enough for tonight
+1241
+the army found the people in poverty and left them in comparative wealth
+1242
+but a word further concerning the expedition in general
+1243
+it was through floeds advice the bucanon order the military expedition to yuta ostensibly to install certain federal officials and to repress and alleged infantile rebellion which in fact had never come into existence but in reality to further the interests of the suscessionists
+1244
+moreover had the people been inclined to rebellion what greater opportunity could they have wished
+1245
+already an north and the south were talked of whiy not set up also a west
+1246
+they knew no north no south no east nor west they stood positively by the constitution and would have nothing to do in the blody strife between brothers unless indeed they were summoned by the authority to which they had already once loyally responded to furnish men and arms for their countries need
+1247
+what the latterday saints call selestial marriage is characteristic of the church and is in very general practice but of selestial marriage plurality of wives was an incident never an essencial
+1248
+we believe in a litteral resurrection and an actual here after in which future states shall be recognized every sintified and authorized relationship existing here on earth of parent and child brother and sister husband and wifee
+1249
+it has been my privilege to tread the soil of many lands to observe the customes and study the habits of more nations than one and i have yet to find the place and meet the people where ind with whom the purity of man and woman is held more precious than among the malined morments in the mountain valles of the west
+1250
+at the inception of purral marriage among the latterday saints there was no law national or state against its practice
+1251
+in eighteen sixty two a law was innected with the purpose of suppressing ploral marriage and as had been predicted in the national senat pryere to its passage it lay for many years a dead letter
+1252
+federal judges and united states atturnies ind nuta who were not mormens nor lovers of mormonism refused to entertain complaints or prosecute cases under the law because of its manifest injustice and inadequacy
+1253
+this ment that for an alleged misst demeanour for which congress prescribed a maximume penalty of six months imprisonment and a fine of three hundred dollars a man might be impriesone for life ig for many terms of a mans natural life did the courts power to enforce its sentences extend so far and might be find millions of dollars
+1254
+before this travasty on the administration of law could be brought before the court of last resort and theire met with the riversal and rebuke it deserved men were emprisoned under sentence of many years duration
+1255
+the people contested these measures one by one ind the courts presenting in case after case the different fases of the subject and urging the unconstitutionality of the measure
+1256
+then the church was dis incorporated and its property both reaal and personal confiscated and eshiated to the government of the united states and although the personal property was soon restored reale state of great value long lay in the hands of the courts receiver and the marman church had to pay the national government high rental on its own property
+1257
+and so the story of mormonisum runs on its finaly has not yet been ritten the current press presents continuously new stages of its progress new developments of its plan
+1258
+on the sixth of apral eighteen thirty the church of jesus christ of latterday saints was formarly organized and thus took on a legal existencee
+1259
+its origine was small a jerm an insignificant seade hardly to be thought of as likely to arrouse opposition
+1260
+instead of but six regularly affiliated members and at most two score of adherantes the organiation numbers today many hundred thousand souls
+1261
+in place of a single hamlet in the smallest corner of which the members could have congregated there now are about seventy stakes of zion and about seven hundred organized wards each wared and stake with its full compliment of officers and priesthod organizations
+1262
+the practice of gathering its proselights into one place prevents the bilding up and strengthening of foren branches and in as much as extensive and strong organizations are seldom met with abroad very eroneous ideas exist considning the strength of the church
+1263
+never theless the mustered seed among the smallest of all seedes has attained te proportions of a tree and the burds of the air are nestling in its branches the aycorn is now in oke offering protection and the sweets of satisfaction to every earnesst pilgrim journying its way for truth
+1264
+their eyes were from the first turned in anticipation toward the evening son not merely that the work of prossliting should be carried on in the west but that the headquarters of the church should be there established
+1265
+the bokomorman had taught the people the true origin and destiny of the american indians and toward this dark skinned remnent of a onece mighty people the missionaries of mormonism early turned their eyes and with their eyes went their hearts and their hopes
+1266
+it is notable that the indian tribes have genrally regarded the religion of the latterday saints with favour seing in the book of morman striking agreement with their own traditions
+1267
+the first well established seat of the church was in the pretty little town of curtlind ohyo almost within sight of lake eri and here soon rose the first temple of modern times
+1268
+to the fervant latterday saint a temple is not simply a church bilding a house for religious assembly
+1269
+soon thousands of convertes had rented or perchused homes and mysuriyindependence jackson couny being their senner but from the first they were unpopular among the myserians
+1270
+the lieutenant governor litleburn doublu bogs afterward governor was a pronounced morman hater and throughout the period of the troubles he manifestes sympathy with the persecutors
+1271
+their sufferings have never yet been fitly chronicale by human scribe
+1272
+making their way across the river most of the refugies found shelter among the more hospitable people of clay county and afterward established themselves in caldwell county they arein founding the city of far west
+1273
+a small settlement had been founded by mormend families on chol creaek and here on the thirtieth of october eighteen thirty eight accompaniy of two hundred and forty fell upon the halpless settlers and butchard of scoar
+1274
+beit said to the honour of some of the officers intrusted with the terrible commission that when they learnd its true significance they resined their authority rather than have anything to do with what they designated a cold bloded bucchery
+1275
+oh what a record to read what a picture degayse upon how afful the fact
+1276
+american school boys read with emotions of hor of the albejinses driven beaten and killed with the pappal legate directing the buccheryand of the vodua hunted and hounded like beasts as the effect of a royal decreand they yet shall read in the history of their own country of cenes as terrible as these in the exebition of injustice and inhuman hate
+1277
+who began the quarrel was it the mormans
+1278
+as esample of the press commence against the brutality of the mysurions i quote a paragrafh from the quinsy argus march sixteenth eighteen thirty nine
+1279
+it will be observed that an organized mob aided by many of the civil and military officers of misury with governour bogs at their head have been the prominent actors in this business insited two it appears against the morments by political hatred and by the additional motives of plunder and revenge
+1280
+hester prin went one day to the mansion of governor bellingham with a pair of gloves which she had fringed and embroidered to his order and which were to be worne on some great occasion of state for though the chances of a popular election had caused this formera rouler to descend a step orto from the highest rank he still held an honourable and influenial place among the colonial magistracy
+1281
+another and far more important reason than the delivery of a pair of embroidered gloves impelled hester at this time to seek an interview with a personage of so much power and activity in the affairs of the settlement
+1282
+at that epok of pristine symplicity however matters of even slighter public interest and a far less intrinsic wat than the wellfair of hestor and her child were strangely mixed up with the deliberations of legislators and acts of state
+1283
+the period was hardly if at all earlier than that of our story when a dispute concerning the right of property in a pig not onely caused a fearce and bitter contest in the legislative body of the colony but resulted in an important modification of the framwork itself of the legislature
+1284
+we have spoken of purls rich and lugxurient beauty a beauty that shone with deep and vivid tints a bright complexion eyes possessing intensity both of deapth and glow and hair already of a deep glossy bround and which in after years would be nearly a kin to black
+1285
+it was the scarlet letter in another form the scarlet letter endowed with life
+1286
+the mother herself as if the red egnomony were so deeply scorched into her braine that all her conceptions assumed its form had carefully brought out the symilitude lavishing many hours of morbid ingenuity to create an analogy between the object of her affection and the emblum of her guilt and torture
+1287
+but in truth purel was the one as well as the other and only in consequence of that identity had hesder contrived so perfectly to represent the scarlet letter in her appearance
+1288
+come therefore and let us fling mud at them
+1289
+but purl who was a daugntless child after frowning stamping her foot and shaking her little hand with a variety of threattening jestures suddenly made a rush at the nod of her enemies and put them all to flight
+1290
+she screamed and shouted too with a teriffic volume of sound which doubtless caused the hearts of the fugitives to quake within them
+1291
+it was further decorated with strange and seemingly cabilistic figures and diograms suitable to the quaint tase of the age which had been drawn in the stucko when newly layed on and had now grown hard and doorable for the admiration of after times
+1292
+they approached the door which was of an arched form and flanked on eah side by a narrow tower or projection of the edifise in both of which were ladus windows the wooden shudters to close over them at nede
+1293
+lifting the iron hammor that hung at the portal hester prin gave a summons which was answered by one of the governors bond servants a free born english man but now a seven years slave
+1294
+yey his honorable worship is within but he hath a godly minister orto with him and likewise a leach
+1295
+ye may not see his worship now
+1296
+with many variations suggested by the nature of his building materials diversity of climate and a different mode of social life governor bellingham had planed his new habitation after the residences of gentlemen of fair es state in his native land
+1297
+on the table in token that the sentiment of old english hospitality had not been left behind stood a large puter tankerd at the bottom of which had hester or purel peaped into it they might have seen the frothy remnent of a recent draft of ail
+1298
+little pirl who was as greatly pleased with the gleaming armor as she had been with the glittering front est piece of the house spent some time looking into the polished mirror of the breast plate
+1299
+mother cried she i see you here loook look
+1300
+in truith she seemed absolutely hidden behind it
+1301
+prl accordingly ran to the bow window at the farther end of the hall and looked along the vista of a garden walk carpeted with cloasely shaven grass and bordered with some rude and imitor attempt at shrubbery
+1302
+but the proprietor appeared already to have relinquished as hopeless the effort to perpetuate on this side of the atlantic in a hard soil and amid the close struggle for subsistence the native english taste for ornamental gardening
+1303
+there were a few rose bushes however and a number of apple trees probably the discendants of those planted by the reverend mister blackstone the first settler of the penincula that helft mithological personage who rises through our early annels seated on the back of a bull
+1304
+perl seeing the roase bushes began to cry for our red rose and would not be passified
+1305
+how strange it seemed to the sad woman as she watched the groath and the beauty that became every day more brilliant and the intelligence that threw its quivering sunshine over the tigny feacures of this child
+1306
+god as a direct consequence of the sin which man thus punished had given her a lovely child whose place was on that same dishonoured boosom to connect her parent for ever with the race and descent of mortals and to be finally a blessed soul in heaven
+1307
+yet these thoughts affected hester prin less with hope than apprehension
+1308
+the child had a native grace which dos not invariably co exist with thaughtless beauty its attire however simple always impressed the beholder as if it were the very garb that precisely became it best
+1309
+this outward mutability indicated and did not more than fairely express the various properties of her inner life
+1310
+hester could only account for the childs character and even then most vagly and imperfectly by recalling what she herself had been during that momentous period while purel was embibing her soul from the spiritual world and her bodily fram from its material of earth
+1311
+they were now illuminated by the morning radiance of a young childs disposition but later in the day of earthly existence might be prolific of the storm and werel wind
+1312
+hester prin nevertheless the loving mother of this one child ran little risk of airring on the side of undewe severity
+1313
+mindful however of her own errors and misfortunes she early sought to impose a tender but strict control over the infant immortality that was committed to her charge
+1314
+as to any other kind of discipline whether addressed to her mind or heart little pirl might or might not be within its reach in accordence with the cappriece that ruled the moment
+1315
+it was a look so intelligent yet inexplicable perverse sometimes so malicious but generally accompanied by a wild flow of spirits that hester could not help questioning at such moments wherther purel was a human child
+1316
+beholding it hester was constrained to rush towards the child to pursue the little helth in the flight which she invariably began to snatch her to her boosom with a close preassur and earnest kisses not so much from overflowing love as to assure herself that perel was flesh in blod and not utterly delusive
+1317
+bruding over all these matters the mother felt like one who has evoked a spirit but by some irregularity in the process of conjuration has failed to winn the master word that should control this new and incomprehensible intelligencee
+1318
+puril was a born outcast of the infantile world
+1319
+perl saw and gazed intently but never sought to make acquaintance
+1320
+if spoken to she would not speak again
+1321
+to faide away like morning beauty from her mortal day down by the river of adana her soft voice es hard and thus her gentle lamentation falls like morning de
+1322
+oh life of this our spring
+1323
+why fades the lodus of the water
+1324
+why fade these children of the spring
+1325
+thell is like a watery bo and like a parting cloud like a reflexion in a glase like shadows in the water like dreams of infante like a smile upon an infants face
+1326
+like the doves voicce like transient day like music in the air ah
+1327
+and gentle sleep the sleep of death and gently hear the voice of him that walketh in the garden in the evening time
+1328
+the lilly of the valley breathing in the humble gras answered the lovely maden said i am a wathery wead and i am very small and love to dwell in loly valso weak the gilded butterfly scarce perches on my head yet i am visited from heaven and he that smiles on all walkes in the valley and each morne over me spreads his hand saying rejoices thou humble gras thou newborn lily flouwer
+1329
+thou gentle made of silent valles and of modest brooks for thou shalt be clothed in light and fed with morning manna til summers heat melts thee beside the fountains and the springs to flourish in eternal vails they why should thou complaine
+1330
+why should the mistresse of the vails of har utter a sg
+1331
+she seased and smiled in tears then sat down in her silver shrigne
+1332
+which thou dost scatter on every little blade of grass that springs revives the milket cow and tames the fire breathing stead
+1333
+but thell is like a faint cloud kindled at the rising son i vanish from my purly throne and who shall find my place
+1334
+and why it scatteres its bright beauty through the humad air
+1335
+descend o little cloud and hover before the eyes of thel
+1336
+oh little cloud the virgin said i charge thee to tell me why thou complainest now when in one hour thou fade away then we shall seek thee but not find ah thell is like to thee
+1337
+i pass away yet i complain and no one hears my voice
+1338
+the cloud then showed his golden head and his bright form emerged
+1339
+and fearest thou because i vanish and am seein no more
+1340
+it is to tenfolt life to love to peace and raptures wholily unseene descending way my light wings upon bow me flowers and coart the fair i do to take me to her shining tent the weeaping virgin trembling neals before the ridsen son
+1341
+till we arrise  linkt in a golden band and never part but walk united bearing food to all our tender flowers
+1342
+lives not alone nor of it self fear not and i will call the weak worm from its loly bed and thou shalt hear its voice
+1343
+come forth worm and the silent valley to thy pensive quean
+1344
+the helpless wirm arose and sat upon the lilliys liaf and the bright cloud saled on to find his partner in the vail
+1345
+image of weakness art thou but a wrm
+1346
+i see they lay helpless tand naked weeping and none to answer none to cherish thee with mothers smiles
+1347
+and says thou mother of my children i have loved thee and i have given thee a crown that none can take away
+1348
+and lay me down in thy cold bed and leave my shining lot
+1349
+or an iye of giffts and graces showering fruits in coinete gold
+1350
+why a tong impressed with honey from every wind
+1351
+why an ear a worl pool fears to draw creations in
+1352
+all is said without a word
+1353
+i sit beneath thy looks as children do in the noon son with souls that tremble through their happy ielids from an unofverd yet pronicale inward joy
+1354
+i did not rong myself so but i placed a rong on thee
+1355
+when called before i told how hastily i dropped my flowers or brake off from a game
+1356
+shall i never miss home talk and blessing and the common kiss that comes to each inturn nor count it strange when i look up to drop on a new range of walls and floores another home than this
+1357
+alas i have greeved so i am hard to love
+1358
+open thy heart wide and fold within the wet wings of thy dove
+1359
+could it mean to last a love set penjelus between sorrow and sorrow
+1360
+nay i rather thrilld distrusting every light that seemed to gild the onward path and feare to over lean a finger even
+1361
+and though i have grown sorien and strong since then i think that god has willed a still renewable fear
+1362
+oh love oh troths
+1363
+and love be false
+1364
+if he to keep one oth must lose one joy by his lifes star fortold
+1365
+slow to world greetings quick with its oh list when the angel speake
+1366
+a ring of amethest i could not ware here plainer to my site than that first kisse
+1367
+that was the crisum of love which loves own crown with sangtifying sweetness did proceed the third upon my lips was folded down in perfect perpl stae since when indeed i have been proud and said my love my own
+1368
+dearest teach me so to pour out gratitude as thou dost good
+1369
+muselmons and gyers throw curchiffs at a smile and have no ruuth for any weeaping
+1370
+but thou art not such a lover my beloved
+1371
+thou canst wait through sorrow and sickness to bring souls to touch and think it soon when others cry too late
+1372
+i think all who have loved me in their hearts with thanks and love from mine
+1373
+oh to shoot my souls full meaning into future years that they should lend it uttorance and salute love that endurs from life that disappears
+1374
+then i long tried by natural ills received the comfort fast while budding at thy sighte my pilgrims staff gave out green leaves with morning des impherled
+1375
+i love thee freely as men strive for rigt i love thee purely as they turn from prase
+1376
+i love the with the passion put to use and my old griefes and with my childhoods fathe
+1377
+i love thee with ha love i seemed to lose with my lost saints i love thee with the breath smiles tears of all my life and if god choose i shall but love thee better after death
+1378
+nature of the effect produced by early impressions
+1379
+that is comparatively nothing
+1380
+they are chiefly formed from combinations of the impressions made in childhood
+1381
+vast importance and influence of this mental furnishing
+1382
+without going to any such extreame as this we can easily see on reflection how vast and influence on the ideas and conceptions as well as on the principles of action in mature years must be exerted by the nature and character of the images which the period of infancy and childhood impress upon the mind
+1383
+the pain produced by an act of hasty and angry violence to which a father subjects his son may soon pass away but the memory of it dous not pass away with the pain
+1384
+to such persons these indirect modes of training children inhabits of subbordination to their will or rather of yealding to their influence are specially useful
+1385
+della had a young sister named maria and a cousan whose name was jane
+1386
+now delia contrived to obtaine a great influence and ascendancy over the minds of the children by means of these diles
+1387
+to give an idea of these conversations i will report one of them in full
+1388
+you have come anddella and della was the name of janes dile to make rosaly a visit
+1389
+i am  very glad
+1390
+i expect you have been a very good girl andella since you were here last
+1391
+then turning to jane she asked in a somewhat altered tone has she been a good girl jane
+1392
+for instance one day the children had been playing upon the piaca with blocks and other playthings and finally had gone into the house leaving all the things on the floor of the piaca instead of putting them away in their places as they ought to have done
+1393
+they were now playing with their dals in the parlar
+1394
+delia came to the parlar and with an air of great mystery beckoned the children aside and said to them in a whisper leave andella and rosaley here and dont say a word to them
+1395
+so saying she led the way on tipto followed by the children out of the room and rown by a circhuitous root to the piacca there
+1396
+said she pointing to the playthings see
+1397
+put these play things all away quick and carefully and we will not let them know anything about your leaving them out
+1398
+and this method of treatingn the case was much more effectual in making them disposed to avoid committing a similar fault another time than any direct rebuks or expressions of displeasure addressed personaly to them would have been
+1399
+the three modes of management
+1400
+to suppose that the object of this work is to ad in affecting such a substitution as that is entirely to mistake its nature and disigne
+1401
+by reason and affection
+1402
+as the chace drives away marry stands bewildered and perplexed on the doorestep her mind in a tomult of excitement in which hatred of the doctor distrust and suspicion of her mother disappointment vexation and ill humor surge and swell among those delicate organizations on which the structure nd development of the soule so closely depend doing perhaps and a reparable injury
+1403
+the mother as soon as the chase is so far turned that merry can no longer watch the expression of her countenence goes away from the door with a smile of complacency and satisfaction on her face at the ingenuity and success of her little artifice
+1404
+so you will be a good girl i know and not make any trouble but well stay at home contentedly wont you
+1405
+the mother in managing the case in this way relies partly on convinsing the reason of the child and partly on an appeel to her affection
+1406
+if you should not be a good girl but should show signes of making us any trouble i shall have to send you out somewhere to the backpart of the house until we are gone
+1407
+but this last supposition is almost always unnecessary for if mery has been habitually managed on this principle she will not make any trouble
+1408
+it is indeed tru that the importance of tact and skill in the training of the young and of cultivating their reason and securing their affection can not be overraited
+1409
+but anders cared nothing about that
+1410
+he made a bow so deep that his back came near breaking and he was doume founded i can tell you when he saw it was nobody but anders
+1411
+he was such a big boy that he wore high boots and carried a jack nife
+1412
+now this knife was a splended one though half the blade was gone and the handle was a little crackt and anders knew that one is almost a man as soon as one has a jack nife
+1413
+yes why not thought anders
+1414
+seeing that i am so fine i may as well go and visit the king
+1415
+i am going to the court ball answered anders
+1416
+and she took anders hand and walked with him up the broad marbl stairs where soldiers were poasted at every third step and through the magnificent halls where courtiers in silk and velvete stood bowing whereever he went
+1417
+for like as not they must have thought him a prince when they saw his fine cap
+1418
+at the farther end of the largest hall a table was set with golden cupps and golden plates in long ros
+1419
+on huge silver platters were pirameds of tarts and cake and red wine sparkled in glittering decanters
+1420
+the princess sat down under a blue canapy with bocayes of roases and she let ander sit in a golden chair by her side
+1421
+but you must not eat with your cap on your head she said and was going to take it off
+1422
+the princess certainly was beautiful and he would have dearly liked to be kissed by her but the cap which his mother had made he would not give up on any condition
+1423
+he only shook his head
+1424
+well but now said the princess and she filled his pockets with cakes and put her own heavy gold chaine around his neck and bent down and kissed him
+1425
+that is a very fine cap you have he said
+1426
+so it is said anders
+1427
+and it is made of mothers best yarn and she nitted it herself and everybody wants to get it away from me
+1428
+with one jump anders got out of his chair
+1429
+he darted like an arrow through all the halls down all the stairs and across the yard
+1430
+he still held onto it with both hands as he rushed into his mothers cottage
+1431
+and all his brothers and sisters stood round and listened with their mouths open
+1432
+but when his big brother heard that he had refused to give his cap for a kings golden crown he said that anders was a stupid
+1433
+anders face grew read
+1434
+but his mother hugged him close
+1435
+no my little son she said
+1436
+if you dressed in silk and gold from top to to you could not look any nicer than in your little red cap
+1437
+he passed through henly saint albons and came so near to london as harrow on the hill
+1438
+the scotish generals and commisioners effected great surprise on the appearance of the king and though they payid him all the exterior respect du to his dignity they instantly set a gard upon him under colour of protection and made him in reality a prisoner
+1439
+they informed the english parliament of this unexpected incident and assured them that they had entered into no private treaty with the king
+1440
+or hath he given us any gift
+1441
+and the men of israel answered the men of juda and said we have ten parts in the king and we have also more right in david than ye why then did ye despise us that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king
+1442
+another preacher after reproaching him to his face with his mis government orderd this sam to be sung
+1443
+the king stood up and called for that sam which begins with these words
+1444
+have mercy lord on me i pray for men would me devour
+1445
+the good natured ordience in pity to fallen magesty showed for one greater difference to the king than to the minister and sung the sam which the former had caled for
+1446
+the parliament and the scots layd their proposals before the king
+1447
+before the settlement of terms the administration must be possessed entirely by the parlaments of both kingdoms and how incompattible that skeame with the liberty of the king is easily imagined
+1448
+the english it is evident had they not been previously assured of receiving the king would never have parted with so considerable a soum and while they weakened themselves by the same measure have strengthened the people with whom they must afterwards have so material an interest to disgusse
+1449
+if anny still retained ranker against him in his present condition they passed in silence while his well wishers more generous than prudent accompanied his march with tears with acclamations and with prayers for his safety
+1450
+his death in this conjuncture was a public misfortune
+1451
+though thrown into prison for this enterprise and detained some time he was not discourraged but still continued by his countenance and protection to infuse spirit into the distressed royalists
+1452
+among other persons of distinction who unighted themselves to him was lord naypier of mercheston son of the famous inventor of the logorithms the person to whom the title of a great man is more justly deaw than to any other whom his country ever produced
+1453
+while the former fortold that the schottish covernanters were secretly forming a union with the english parliament and inculcated the necessity of preventing them by some vigorous undertaking the later still insisted that every such attempt would precipitate them into measures to which otherwise they were not perhaps inclined
+1454
+the kings ears were now open to montroses councels who proposed none but the boldest and most daring agreeably to the desperate state of the royal course in scotland
+1455
+five hundred men more who had been levied by the covernanters were persuaded to embrace the royal cause and with this combined force he hastened to attak lord elco who lay at purth with an army of six thousand men assembled upon the first news of the irish invasion
+1456
+dredding the superior power of argile who having joined his vassals to a force leaveyed by the public was approaching with a considerable army montrose hastened northward in order to rouse again the marci of huntliy and the gordens who having before hastily taken arms had been instantly suppressed by the covernanterss
+1457
+this noblemans character though celebrated for political courrage and conduct was very low for military prowess and after some scurmishes in which he was worsted he here allowed montrose to escape him
+1458
+by quick marches through these inaccessible mountains that general freed himself from the superior forces of the covernantors
+1459
+with these and some reinforsements of the ethol men and macdonalds whom he had recaled montrose fell suddenly upon our gils country and let loose upon it all the rage of war carrying off the cattle burning the houses and putting the inhabitants to the sword
+1460
+this severity by which montrose sullied his victories was the result of private animosity against the chiefton as much as of zeal for the public cause our gile collecting three thousand men marched in quest of the enemy who had retired with their plunder and he lay at interlocky supposing himself still at a considerable distance from them
+1461
+by a quick and unexpected march montrose hastened to interlocky and presented himself in order of battle before the surprised but not a frightened covernanters
+1462
+his conduct and presence of mind in this emmergence appeared conspicuous
+1463
+montrose weak in cavalry here lined his troops of horse with infantry and after putting the enemies horse to rout fell with united forse upon their foot who were entirely cut in pices thon with the loss of the gallant lord gorden on the part of the royalists
+1464
+from the same men new regiments and new companies were formed different officers appointed and the whole military force put into such hands as the independants could rely on
+1465
+besides members of parliament who were excluded many officers unwilling to serve under the new generals threw up their commissions and d an warily facilitated the project of putting the army entirely into the hands of that faction
+1466
+thou the discipline of the former parlamentary army was not contemptible a more exact plan was introduced and rigorously executed by these new commanders
+1467
+valler indeed was very generally diffused over the one party as well as the other during this period disciplin also was ottained by the forces of the parliament but the perfection of the military art in concerting the general plans of action and the operations of the field seems still on both sides to have been in a great measure wanting
+1468
+historians at least perhaps from their own ignorance and inexperience have not remarked any thing but a hedlong impetuous conduct each party hurrying to a battle where vallour and fortune chiefly determined the success

+we have always thought that it was sometimes a coracious act and at least a simple and useful deed worthy of the sympathetic attention which duty accepted and fulfilled merits
+1480
+why should one not explore everything and study everything

+1488
+it is the language of rechedness
+1489
+we may be stopped the fact may be put to us in general terms which is one way of attenuating it we may be told that all trades professions it may be added all the accidents of the social hirarchy ind all forms of intelligence have their own slang

+to this we reply in one word only
+1499
+assuredly if the tong which a nation or a province has spoken is worthy of interest the language which has been spoken by a miysery is still more worthy of attention and study
+1500
+and then we insist upon it the study of social deformities and infirmities and the task of pointing them out with the view to remedy is not a business in which choyices permitted

+to teach reading means to light the fire every sillibal spellt out sparkles
+1525
+however he who says light dos not necessarily say joy
+1526
+people suffer in the light excess burns
+1527
+the flame is the enemy of the wing
+1528
+to burn without ceacing to fly there in lies the marvele of genious
+1529
+out in the woods stood a nice little fr trey
+1530
+the place he had was a very good one the sun shone on him as to fresh air there was enough of that and round him grew many large sised comrades pines as well as firs
+1531
+he did not think of the warm sun and of the fresh air he did not care for the little cottage children that ran about and prattoled when they were in the woods looking for wild strawbaryes
+1532
+but this was what the tree could not bear to hear
+1533
+in winter when the snow lay glittering on the ground a hair would often come leaping along and jump right over the little tree
+1534
+oh that made him so angry
+1535
+to gro and gro to get older and be talll thought the tre that after all is the most delightful thing in the world
+1536
+in autum the wood cutters always came and felld some of the largest trees
+1537
+this happened every year and the young furtry that had now grown to a very cumlaysise trembled at the sight for the magnificent great trees fell to the earth with noise and cracking the branches were lopped off and the trees looked long and bar they were hardly to be recognized and then they were lad in carts and the horses dragged them out of the wood
+1538
+have you not met them anywherre
+1539
+rejoice in thy groth said the son beams
+1540
+and then what happens the end
+1541
+i would fan know if i am destined for so glorious a carer cried the tree rejoicing
+1542
+i am now tall and my branches spread like the others that were carried off last year o
+1543
+were i but already on the cart
+1544
+where i in the warm room with all that splender and magnificence
+1545
+yes than something better something still grender will surely follow or wherefore should they thus ornament me
+1546
+something better something still grander must follow but what
+1547
+rejoice in our presents said the air and the sunlight
+1548
+rejoice in thy own fresh youth
+1549
+but the tre did not rejoice at all he grew and grew and was green both winter in summer
+1550
+and towards christmas he was one of the first that was cut down
+1551
+the ax struck deep into the very pith the tre fell to the earth with a sy he felt a pang it was like a swoon he could not think of happiness for he was sorrowful at being separated from his home from the place where he had sprung up
+1552
+he well knew that he should never see his dear old comrades the little bushes and flowers urround him any more perhaps not even the birds
+1553
+the departure was not at all agreeable
+1554
+the tree only came to himself when he was unloaded in a court yard with the other trees and heard a man say that one is splended we dont want the others
+1555
+there too were large easy chairs silken sofas large tables full of picture booxks and full of toys worth hundreds and hundreds of crowns at least the children said so
+1556
+the servants as well as the young ladies decorated it
+1557
+this evening they all said
+1558
+how it will shine this evening
+1559
+perhaps the other trees from the forest will come to look at me
+1560
+it blajed up famiously help help
+1561
+cried the young ladies and they quickly put out the fire
+1562
+a story
+1563
+a story cried the children drawing a little fat man towards the trey
+1564
+but i shall tell only one story
+1565
+humbe do be fell down stairs and yet he married the princess
+1566
+thats the way of the world
+1567
+thought the furtry and believed it all because the man who told the story was so good looking well well
+1568
+i wont tremble to morrow thought the fertrey
+1569
+and the whole night the tree stood still and in deep thought
+1570
+in the morning the servant and the housemaid came in
+1571
+but they dragged him out of the room and up the stairs into the loft and here in a dark corner where no day light could enter they left him
+1572
+whats the meaning of this thought the tree
+1573
+and he leaned against the wall lost in revery
+1574
+time enough had he too for his reflexions for days and nights passed on and nobody came up and when at last somebody did come it was only to put some great trunks in a corner out of the way
+1575
+tis now winter out of doors thought the tree
+1576
+how kind man is after all
+1577
+if it only were not so dark here and so terribly lonely
+1578
+squeak squeak
+1579
+they snuffed about the fir tree and russled among the branches
+1580
+i am by no means old said the fir trey
+1581
+theres many a one considerably older than i am
+1582
+they were so extremely curious
+1583
+i know kno such place said the tre
+1584
+and then he told all about his youth and the little mice had never heard the like before and they listend and said
+1585
+said the fir tree thinking over what he had himself related
+1586
+yes in reality those were happy times
+1587
+hoh his humpi dumpi asked the mice
+1588
+only that one answered the trey
+1589
+it is a very stupid story
+1590
+dont you know one about bakon and tallow candls cant shou tell any larger stories
+1591
+no said the trey
+1592
+then good by said the rats and they went home
+1593
+at last the little mice stayed away also and the tre siged after all it was very pleasant when thi sleak little mice sat round me and listened to what i told them
+1594
+now that too is over
+1595
+why one morning there came a quantity of people and set to work in the loft
+1596
+the trunks were moved the tree was pulled out and throned rather hard it is true down on the floor but a man drew him towards the stairs where the daylight shone
+1597
+but it was not the fir tree that they ment
+1598
+it was in a corner that he lay among weeds and nettls
+1599
+the golden star of tincel was still on the top of the tree and glittered in the sunshine
+1600
+in the court yard some of the marriat children were playing who had danced at christmas round the fir tree and were so glad at the sigte of him
+1601
+and the gardeners boy chopped the tre into small pieces there was a whole heap lying there
+1602
+the wood flamed up splendidly under the large bruwing copper and it sided so deeply
+1603
+however that was over now the tree gone the story at an end
+1604
+her seagoing qualities were excellent and would have amply sufficed for a circum navigation of the globe
+1605
+after an apprentice ship on a merchant ship he had entered the imperial navy and had already reached the rank of liutenant when the count appointed him to the charge of his own private yout in which he was accustomed to spend by far the greater part of his time throughout the winter generally crusing in the mediterraneon whilst in the summer he visited more northern waters
+1606
+the late astounding events however had rendered procope manifestly uneasy and not the less so from his conciousness that the count secretly partook of his own angiety
+1607
+steam up and canvus spread the scooner started eastwards
+1608
+although only a moderate breese was blowing the sea was ruffh a circumstance to be accounted for only by the dimunution in the force of the earths attraction rendering the licquid particles so boyant that by the mere effect of osolation they were carried to a hight that was quite unprecedented
+1609
+for a few miles she followed the lign hithertoe presumably occupied by the cost of algeria but no land appeared to the south
+1610
+the log and the compas therefore were able to be called upon to do the work of the sextant which had become utterly useless
+1611
+theres no fear of that sir
+1612
+af the earth has undoubtedly entered upon a new orbit but she his not encurring any probable risk of being precipitated onto the sun
+1613
+and what demonstration do you offer asked servdac eagerly that it will not happen
+1614
+osion rained suprem
+1615
+all the images of his pasd life floated upon his memory his thoughts sped away to his native france only to return again to wonder whether the depths of otion would reveal any traces of the algerian metropolous
+1616
+is it not impossible he murmured aloud that any city should disappear so completely
+1617
+would not the loftiest eminences of the city at least be visible
+1618
+another circumstance was most remarkable
+1619
+to the surprise of all and especially of liutenant procope the ligne indicated a bottom at a nearly uniforme deapth of from forto five fathoms and although the sounding was percevered with continuously for more than two hours over a considerable aria the differences of leval were insignificant not corresponding in any degree to what would be expected over the sight of a city that had been terrassed like the seats of an amphatheator
+1620
+you must see lieutenant i should think that we are not so near the coast of algeria as you imagined
+1621
+after pondering a while he said if we were farther away i should expect to find a depth of two or three hundred fathoms instead of five fathoms five fathoms
+1622
+its deapth remained invariable still four or at most five fathoms and although its bottom was assiduously dreged it was only to prove it barron of marien production of any tipe
+1623
+nothing was to be done but to put about and return in disappointment toward the north
+1624
+fast as his legs could carry him servadack had mae his way to the top of the cliff
+1625
+it was quite true that a vessal was in sight hardly more than six miles from the shore but owing to the increese in the earths comvexity and the consequent limitation of the range of vision the rigging of the top masts alone was visible above the water
+1626
+exclaimed servedac keeping his eye unmoved at his telescope
+1627
+she is under sail but she is count tummacheffs yot he was right
+1628
+if the count were on board a strange fatality was bringing him to the presence of his rival
+1629
+he reckened therefore not only upon assertaining the extent of the late catastrophy but upon learning its cause
+1630
+the wind being adverse the dobrinah did not make very rapid progress but as the weather in spite of a few clouds remained calm and the sea was quite smooth she was unabled to hold a steady course
+1631
+servedac took it for granted that the dobrina was endeavouring to put in
+1632
+a narrow channel formed a passage through the ridge of rocks that protected it from the open sea and which even in the rufhest weather would ensure the calmness of its waters
+1633
+slightly changing her course she first struck her mainsail and in order to facilitate the movements of her helmsman soon carried nothing but her two top sails brigantene and jib
+1634
+captain servedac hastened toward him
+1635
+i left you on a contenent and here i have the honour of finding you on an island
+1636
+never mind now interposed the captain we will talk of that by and by
+1637
+nothing more than you know yourself
+1638
+are you certain that this is the mediterranean
+1639
+for some moments he seemed perfectly stupified and then recovering himself he began to overwhelm the count with a torrent of questions
+1640
+to all these inquiries the count responded in the affirmative
+1641
+some misterious force seemed to have brought aboubt a convulsion of the elements
+1642
+you will take me on board count will you not
+1643
+my yought is at your service sir even should you require to make a toor round the world
+1644
+the count shook his head
+1645
+before starting it was indispensible that the engin of the dobrina should be repared to sail under canvus only would in contrary winds and rufh seaes be both teadious and difficult
+1646
+it was on the last day of january that the repairs of the schooner were completed
+1647
+a slighte dimunution in the excessively high temperature which had prevailed for the last few weeks was the only apparent change in the general order of things but whether this was to be attributed to any alteration in the earths orbit was a question which would still require several days to decide
+1648
+doubts now arrose and some discussion followed whether or not it was desirable for benzufh to accompany his master
+1649
+length of service fourteen years three months and five days
+1650
+he seemed born to please without being concious of the power he possessed
+1651
+it must be owned and no one was more ready to confess it than himself that his literary attainments were by no means of a high order
+1652
+we dont spind tops is a favorit saying amongt artillary officers indicating that they do not sherk their duty by frivolous pursuites but it must be confessed that servatac being naturally idle was very much given to spinning tops
+1653
+once in action he was leading a detachment of infantry through an intrenchment
+1654
+sometimes he would wander on foot upon the sandy shore and sometimes he would enjoy a ride along the summit of the cliff altogether being in no hurry at all to bring his task to an end
+1655
+no cathedral not even burgos itself could vige with the church at mont marcha
+1656
+benzuffs most ambitious desire was to enduce the captain to go with him and end his days in his much loved home and so insessantly were servidacxs ears beseaged with descriptions of the unparalleled beauties and advantages of this eighteenth ourondisemo of paris that he could scarcely hear the name of mont marthera without a concious thrill of aversion
+1657
+when a private in the eighth cavalry he had been on the point of quitting the army at twenty eight years of age but unexpectedly he had been appointed orderly to captain servadac
+1658
+the bond of union thus effected could never be sevord and although benjufs atchievements had farely earned him the right of retirement he firmly declined all honors or any pension that might part him from his superior officer
+1659
+unlike his master he made no pretension to any gift of poetic power but his inexaustible memory made him a living in siclopidia and for his stock of anecdotes and trupers tails he was matcheless
+1660
+to celebrate the arrival of her son sylvia gave a splendid supper to which she had invited all her relatives and it was a good opportunity for me to make their acquaintance
+1661
+without saying it positively she made me understand that being herself an illustrious member of the republic of letters she was well aware that she was speaking to an insect
+1662
+in order to please her i spoke to her of the abbi contiy and i had occasion to quate two lines of that profound riter
+1663
+madame corrected me with a patronizing air for my pronounciation of the word skevera which means divided saying that it ought to be pronounced secora and she added that i ought to be very glad to have learned so much on the first day of my arrival in paris telling me that it would be an important day in my life
+1664
+her face was an enigma for it inspired every one with the warmest sympathy and yet if you examined it attentively there was not one beautiful feathure she could not be called handsome but no one could have thought her uggly
+1665
+sylvia was the adduration of france and her talent was the real support of all the commedies which the greatest authors roate for her especially of the plase of marevo for without her his commedies would never have gone to prosterity
+1666
+sylvia did not think that her good conduct was a merit for she knew that she was virtuous only because herself love compelled her to be so and she never exibited any pride or assumed any superiority towards her theatrical sisters although satisfied to shine by their tallent or their beauty they cared little about rendering themselves conspicuous by their virtue
+1667
+two years before her death i saw her purforme the character of meryan in the commidy of merevo and in spite of her age and declining health the allusion was complete
+1668
+she was honourably buried in the church of saint cever without the slightest opposition from the venerable priest who far from sharing the anti christian ind tollerancy of the clurgy in general said that her profession as an actriss had not hindered her from being a good christian and that the earth was a common mother of all human beings as jesus christ had been the savior of all mankind
+1669
+you will forgive me dear reador if i have made you attend the funeral of sylvia ten years before her death believe me i have no intention of purforming a miracle you may consol yourself with the idea that i shall spare you that unpleasant task when poor sylvia dies
+1670
+i never had any family
+1671
+i had a name i believe in my young days but i have forgotten it since i have been in service
+1672
+i shall call you a spre
+1673
+youl dou me a great honour
+1674
+here go and get me change for a luie i have it sir
+1675
+at your service sir
+1676
+madame quenson besides can answer your inqueries
+1677
+i see a quantity of chairs for hire at the rate of one su men reading the newspaper under the shade of the trees girls and men breakfasting either alone or in company waiters who were rappidly going up and down a narrow staircase hidden under the foliage
+1678
+i sit down at a small table a water comes immediately to inquire my wishes
+1679
+i tell him to give me some coffey if it is good
+1680
+then turning towards me he says that i look like a foreaner and when i say that i am an italian he begins to speak to me of the court the city of the theators and at last he offers to accompany me everywhere
+1681
+i thank him and take my leave
+1682
+i address him in italian and he answers very wittilly but his way of speaking makes me smile and i tell him whyy
+1683
+my remark pleases him but i soon prooved to him that it is not the right way to speak however perfects may have been the language of that ancient riter
+1684
+i see a crouwd in one corner of the garden everybody standing still on looking up
+1685
+is there not a moridion everywhere
+1686
+yes but the maridion of the palley royal is the most exact
+1687
+that is true badeltri
+1688
+all these honest persons are waiting their turn to get their snuff boxes filled
+1689
+it is sold everywhere but for the last three weeks nobody will use any snuff but that sold at the servet cat
+1690
+is it better than anyhere else
+1691
+but how did she managge to render it so fashionable
+1692
+simply by stopping her carriage two or three times before the shop to have her snugh box filled and by saying alloud to the young girl who handed back the box that her snugh was the very best in paris
+1693
+you are now in the only country in the world where wit can make a fortune by selling either a geneuin or a false article in the first case it receives the welcome of intelligent and talented people and in the second fools are always ready to reward it for cilliness is truly a characteristic of the people here and however wonderful it may appear cilliness is the daughter of wit
+1694
+let a man run and everybody will run after him the crowd will not stop unless the man his proved to be mad but to prove it is indeed a difficult task because we have a crowd of men who mad from their birth are still considered wise
+1695
+it seems to me i replied that such approoval such ratification of the opinion expressed by the king the princes of the blood etcetera is rather a proofof the affection felt for them by the nation for the french carry that affection to such an extent that they believe them infallable
+1696
+when the king comes to paris everybody calls out viveleroy
+1697
+she introduced me to all her guests and gave me some particulars respecting every one of them
+1698
+what sir i said to him am i fortunate enough to see you
+1699
+he himself recited the same passage in french and polightly pointed out the parts in which he thought that i had improved on the original
+1700
+for the first day sir i think that what you have done gives great hopes of you and without any doubt you will make rapid progress
+1701
+i believe it sir and that is what i fear therefore the principal object of my visit here is to devote myself entirely to the study of the french language
+1702
+i am a very unpleasant peuple always asking questions curious troublesome insaciable and even supposing that i couldnt meat with the teacher i require i am afraid i am not rich enough to pay him
+1703
+i rezide in the mare gru de dusport

+i will make you translate them into french and you need not be afraid of my finding you insaciable
+1705
+he had a good appitite could tell a good story without laughing was celebrated for his widty repartas and his sociable manners but he spent his life at home seldom going out and seeing hardly anyone because he always had a pipe in his mouth and was surrounded by at least twenty cats with which he would amuse himself all dayy
+1706
+his housekeeper had the management of everything she never allowed him to be in neaed of anything and she gave no account of his money which she kept alltogether because he never asked her to render any accounts
+1707
+he could wait no longer
+1708
+for a full hour he had pased up and down waiting but he could wait no longer
+1709
+he set off abruptly for the bull walking rappidly lest his fathers shrill whissel might call him back and in a few moments he had rounded the curve at the police barrick and was safe

+bride after satisfaction up lifted him like long slow waves

+whose feet are as the feet of hearts and underneath the everlasting arms

+1714
+soon the whole bridge was trembling and resounding
+1715
+the uncooth faces passed him too by two stained yellow or red or livid by the sea and as he strove to look at them with ease and indifference a faint stane of personal shame and commiseration rose to his own face
+1716
+angry with himself he tried to hid his face from their eyes by gazing down sidewas into the shalow swerling water under the bridge but he still saw a reflexion therein of their top heavy sillkcats and humbled tapelike collars and losdly hanging claricale clothes brother hickiy
+1717
+brother maccardle brother kioff
+1718
+their piety would be like their names like their faces like their clothes and it was idle for him to tell himself that their humble and contrigt hearts it might be payd a far ritccher tribute of devotion than his had ever beena gifft ten fold more acceptible than his elaborate addoration
+1719
+it was idle for him to move himself to be generous towards them to tell himself that if he ever came to their gates stripped of his pride beaten and id beggers weedes that they would be generous towards him loving him as themselves
+1720
+idle and embittering finaly to argue against his own dis passionate certitude that the commandment of love bead us not to love our neighbor as ourselves with the same amount and intensity of love but to love him as ourselves with the same kind of love
+1721
+the frazse and the day and the sceane harmonized in accord

+1723
+they were voyaging across the deserts of the sky a hoaste of nomads on the march voyaging high over ireland westward bound

+the yurop they had come from lay out there beyond the irish sea yurop of strange tungs nd valleied and wood bigert and citideled and of entrenched and marcialed races
+1725
+again again

+1727
+helo stefanos here comes the deadles
+1728
+their diving stone poised on its rude supports and rocking under their plunges and the ruffh hun stons of the sloping brakwater over which they scrambled in their horse play gleamed with cold wet luster

+he stood still indifference to their cauls and parried their banter with easy words
+1730
+it was a paine to see them and a sword like paine to see the since of adalessence that made repellant their pitiable nakedness
+1731
+stefano tedlos
+1732
+a moment before the goast of the ancient kingdom of the dains had looked forth through the vesture of the haze rapped city
+1733

+1739
+the doull light fell more faintly upon the page whereon another equasion began to one fold itself slowly and to spread abroad its widening tal
+1740
+a cold lucid indifference rained in his soul
+1741
+the caos in which his arder extinguished itself was a cold indifferent nowlege of himself
+1742
+at most by an alms given to a begger whose blessing he fled from he might hope wearily to winn for himself some measure of actual grace
+1743
+well now ennise i declare you have a head and so has my stick

+on saterday mornings when the sodality met in the chappel to recite the little office his place was a cousshened nealing desk at the right of the alter from which he led his wing of boys through the responses

+her eyes seemed to regard him with mild pity her holiness a strange light glowing faintly upon her frayl flesh did not humilliate the sinner who approached her
+1746
+if ever he was impeled to cast sin from him and to repent the impulse that moved him was the wish to be her night
+1747
+he tried to think how it could be
+1748
+but the dusk deapening in the school room covered over his thoughts the bell rang

+1750
+steaven leaning back and drawing idly on his scribbler listened to the talk about him which heron checked from time to time by saying
+1751
+it was strange too that he found an erid pleasure in following up to the end the ridgid lins of the doctrins of the church and penetrating into obscure silences only to hear and feal the more deeply his own condemnation
+1752
+the sentence of saint james which says that he who offends against one commandment becomes gilty of all had seemed to him first a swolen frase until he had begun to grope in the darkness of his own state

+a gentle kick from the tall boy in the bench behind urged steeven to ask a difficult question

+it is the head of a peret with a little flower in his beak from a picture of carpachious one of his series of the life of saint jorge
+1777
+then he comes to the beak of it
+1778
+the browun ground beneath is left for the most part one touch of black is put for the hollow two delicate lines of dark gray to find the outer curve and one little quivering touch of white draws the inner edge of the mandable
+1779
+for believe me the final fhilosophy of art can only rattify their opinion that the beauty of a cock robbin is to be read and of a grassplot to be green and the best skill of eart is an instantly seasing on the manniful deliciousness of light which you can only seaes by precision of instantaneous touch
+1780
+now you will see in these studies that the moment the white es enclosed properly and harmonized with the other hus it becomes somehow more precious and purly than the whitepaper and that i am not afraid to leave a whole field of untreeted white paper all round it being sure that even the little dimonds ind the round window will tell is jewels if they are gradated justly
+1781
+but in this vinie copied from turner you have the two principals brought out perfectly
+1782
+they are beyond all other works than i know existing dependant for their effect on low subduede tones their favourite choice in time of day being either dawn or twilight and even their brightest sunsets produced chiefly out of gray paper
+1783
+it may be that a great colorlisst will use his utmost force of colour as a singer his full power of voice but loud or lo the virtue is in both cases always in refinement never in loudness
+1784
+it must remember be one or the other
+1785
+do not therefore think that the gothic schol is an easy one
+1786
+the law of that schol is that everything shall be seen clearly or at least only in such mistr of faintness as shall be delightful and i have no doubt that the best introduction to it would be the elementary practice of painting every study on a golden ground
+1787
+this at once compells you to understand that the work is to be imaginative and decorative that it represents beautiful things in the clearest way but not under existing conditions and that in fact you are producing jelers work rather than pictures
+1788
+that a stile is restrained or severe dos not mean that it is also ironeous
+1789
+in all early gothic eart indeed you will find falior of this kind especially distortion and rigidity which are in many respects painfully to be compared with the splended repose of classic eart
+1790
+the large letter contains indeed entirely feeble and ill drawn figures that is merely childush and failing work of an inferior hand it is not characteristic of gothic or any other school
+1791
+but observe you can only do this on one condition that of striving also to create in reality the beauty which you seek in imagination
+1792
+it will be holely impossible for you to retain the tranquility of tempor and felicity of faith necessary for noble pureest painting unless you are actively engaged in promoting the felicity and peace of practical life
+1793
+you must look at him in the face fight him conker him with what scathe you may you need not think to keep out of the way of him
+1794
+the collorist says first of all as my delicious paracet was ruby so this nasty viper shall be black and then is the question can i round him off even though he is black and make him slimy nd yet springing and close down clouded like a pool of black blod on the earth all the same
+1795
+nothing will be more precious to you i think in the practical study of eart than the conviction which will force itself on you more and more every hour of the way all things are bound together little and great in spirit and in matter
+1796
+you know i ave just been telling you how this school of materialism and clay involved itself at last in cloud and fire
+1797
+here is an equally tipical greek school landscape by wilson lost holy and golden mist the trees so slightly drawn that you dont know if they are trees or towrs and no care for colour what soever perfectly desceptive and marvelous effect of sunshin through the mist apollo ind the pithan
+1798
+now here is rafael exactly between the two trees still drawn leaf by liaf wholly formul but beautiful mist coming gradually into the distance
+1799
+while then last here is terners greek school of the highest class and you define his eart absolutely as first the displaying intensely and with the sternest intellect of natural form as it is and then the invelopement of it with cloud and fire
+1800
+only there are two sorts of cloud ind fire
+1801
+he knows them both
+1802
+theres one and theres another the dudly and the flint
+1803
+it is only a pencel outline by edward burn jons in illustration of the story of siki it is the introduction of siki after all her troubles into heaven
+1804
+every plant in the grass is set formally grows perfectly and may be reallised completely
+1805
+exquisite order and universal with iternal life and light this is the faith and effort of the schools of christal and you may describe and compleate their work quite litterally by taking any verses of chauser in his tender moode and observing how he insists on the clearness and brightness first and then on the order
+1806
+thus in chausers dream
+1807
+in both these high mithicle subjects the surrounding nature thouse suffering is still dignified and beautiful
+1808
+every line in which the master traces it even wore seemingly negligent is lovely and set down with a meditative calmness which makes these two edchings capable of being placed beside the most tranquil work of wholebine or dure
+1809
+but now here is ha subject of which you will wonder at first why turner drew it at all
+1810
+it has no beauty what soever no specialty of pictureskness and all its lines are cramped and poor
+1811
+the crampness and the poverty are all untended
+1812
+it is a gleaner bringing down her one shief of corn to an old water mill itsself moussy and rent scarcely able to get its stones to turn
+1813
+the sceane is absolutely arcadian
+1814
+see that your liyes bein nothing worse than a boys climing for his entangled kighte
+1815
+it will be well for you if you joine not with those who instead of kightes fly falkins who instead of obeying the last words of the great cloud shepherd to feed his sheep lived the lives how much less than vanity of the warwoulf and the gear egl
+1816
+the paric plant like that of the christal palace was a temperary exibite
+1817
+the london plant was last temperary but not perminent supplying before it was torn out no fewer than three thousand lamps in hotells churches stors and dwellings in the vicinity of holburn viaduct
+1818
+there messiers johnson and hammer put into practice many of the ideas now standared in the art and secured much useful data for the work in new york of which the story has just been told
+1819
+the dinamo electric mashine though small was robushed for under all the variying speedes of waterpower and the vicisitudes of the plant to which it belonged it continued in active use until eighteen ninty nine seventeen years
+1820
+owing to his insistance on low preassure direct current for use in densely populated districts as the only safe and truely universal profitable way of delivering electrical energy to the consumors edison has been frequently spoken of as an opponent of the alternating current
+1821
+why if we arrect a station at the falls it is a great economy to get it up to the city
+1822
+there seems no good reason for believing that it will change
+1823
+broad as the prairies and free and thought as the winds that swept them he is ideosencraticley apposed to loose an wacteful methods to plans of empire that neglect the poor at the gate
+1824
+everything he has done has been amed at the conservation of energy the contraction of space the intensification of culture
+1825
+for some years it was not found fisible to operate motors on alternating current circuts and that reason was often urged against it seriously
+1826
+it could not be used for electroplating or deposition nor could it charge storiage batteries all of which are easily within the ability of the direct current
+1827
+but when it came to be a question of lighting a scattered suburb a groop of dwellings on the outscirts a remote country residence or a farm house the alternating current in all elements save its danger was and is ideal
+1828
+edison was intollerant of sham an shaty and nothing would satisfy him that could not stand cross examination by mycrouscope tes tube and galvenometer
+1829
+unless he could secure an engiin of smoother running and more exactly govern ant regulated than those available for his dinamo and lamp ederson reallised that he would find it almost impossible to give a steady light
+1830
+mister adison was a leader far ahead of the time
+1831
+he obtained the desired speede and lode with a friction brake also regulator of speed but waited for an indicator to verify it
+1832
+then again there was no known way to lubricate an engiin for continuous running and mister edeson informed me that as a mareen engin started before the ship left neuw york and continued running until it reached its home port so an engiin for his purposes must produce light at all times
+1833
+edison had anstoled his historic first great central station sistem in new york on the multible arc system covered by his feder and main invention which resulted in a notable saving in the cost of conductors as against the straigt toowire system throuw out of the tre kind
+1834
+he soon foresaw that still greater economy would be necessary for commercial success not alone for the larger teritory opening but for the compact district of large cities
+1835
+the strong position held by the edesons system under the strenuous competition that was already springing up was enormously improved by the introduction of the three whiere system and it gave an ammediate impatice to incandescent lighting
+1836
+it was specially suuited for a tril plant also in the early days when a yeeld of six or eight lamps to the horsepower was considered subject for congradulation
+1837
+the street conductars were of the overhead hole line construction and were installed by the construction company that had been organized by adison to billd and equip central stations
+1838
+meanwhile he had called upon me to make a report of the three war system known in england as the hopkinson both doctor john hopkinson and mister edison being independent inventers at practically the same time
+1839
+i think he was perhaps more appreciative that i was of the discipline of the edicon construction department and thought it would be well for us to wait until the morning f the forth before we started up
+1840
+but the plant ran and it was the first three wire station in this country
+1841
+they were later used as reserved mashiens and finally with the engin retired from service as part of the collection of edesonia but they remained in practically as good condition as one installed in eighteen eighty threee
+1842
+the ark lamp installed outside a custumers premises or in a circut for public street lighting burned so many hours nightly so many nights in the month and was payd for at that rate subject to rebate for hours when the lamp might be out through accident
+1843
+edison held that the electricity sould must be measured just like gas or water and he proceeded to develop a metor
+1844
+there was infinite scepticism around him on the subject and while other inventors were also giving the subect their thought the public took it for granted that anything so utterly intangible as electricity that could not be seen or wad and only gave secondary evidence of itself at the exact point of use could not be brought to accurate registration
+1845
+hence the adison electrolittic meater is no longer used despite its excellent qualities
+1846
+the principale employed in the adison electrolittic meater is that which exemplifies the power of electricity to decompose ta cemical substance
+1847
+associated with this simple form of apparatis were various ingenious details and refindments to secure regularity of opperation freedom from inaccuracy and immunity from such tampering as would permit theft of curent or damage
+1848
+the standard edison meter practice was to remove the sells once a month to the meter room of the central station company for examination another set being substituted
+1849
+in december eighteen eighty eight mister dubleue  janks read an interesting paper before the american institute of electrical enjinears on the six years of practical experience had up to that time with the meator than more generally in use than any other
+1850
+the others having been an opperation too short a time to show definite results although they also went quickly to a divident basis
+1851
+in this connection it should be mentioned that the association of edison aluminating companies in the same year adopted resolutions unanimously to the effect that the edison medier was accurate and that its use was not expensive for stations above one thousand lights and that the best financial results were invariably secured in a station selling current by meters
+1852
+the meeter continued in general service during eighteen ninety nine and probably up to the close of the century
+1853
+he wad and reewad the meeter plates and pursued every line of investigation imaginable but all in vain
+1854
+he felt he was up against it and that perhaps another kind of a job would soit him better
+1855
+the problem was solved
+1856
+we were more interested in the tecnical condition of the station than in the commercial part
+1857
+we had meaters in which there were two bottles of licquide
+1858
+geneth and beth refrained from telling thet other girls or uncle john of old will rodgers visit but they got mister watson in the liberary and questioned him closely about the penalty for forching a check
+1859
+it was a serious crime indeed mister watson told them and tom gates bade fair to serve a lengthy term in the states prison as a consequence of his rash act
+1860
+i cant see it in that light said the old layer
+1861
+it was a deliberate theft from his employers to protect a girl he loved
+1862
+but they couldnot have proven a case against lucy if she was innocent and all their threats of arresting her were probly a meare bluff
+1863
+he was soft hearted and impetuous said beth and being in love he didnt stop to count the cost
+1864
+if the prosecution were withdrawn and the case settled with the victim of the forche checck then the young man would be alloud his freedom
+1865
+but under the circumstances i doubt if such an arrangement could be made
+1866
+farview was twelve miles away but by ten oclock they drew up at the county dral
+1867
+they were received in the little office by a man name marcham who was the jaler
+1868
+we wishd to talk with him answered ceneth talk
+1869
+i m running for a representative on the republican ticket said teneth quietely
+1870
+oh say thats different observed markhem altering his demeanour
+1871
+maybe seam gates at once asked tenath
+1872
+they followed the jailer along a succession of passages
+1873
+sometimes im that yurnin for as smoke im nearly crasy and i don know which is worse dine one way or the other
+1874
+he unlocked the door and called heres visitors tom
+1875
+worse tome worse than ever replied the jaler glumily
+1876
+mister grafe said ceneth noticing the boys face critically as he stood where the light from the passage fell upon it
+1877
+sory we havent any reception room in the gal
+1878
+sit down please said gate in a cheearfull and pleasant voice theres a bench ere
+1879
+a fresh holesome looking boy was tom gates with steady gray eyes an intelligent forehead but a sensitive rather week mouth
+1880
+we have heard something of your story said teneth and are interested in it
+1881
+i didnt stop to think whether it was foolish or not i did it and im glad i did it
+1882
+old will is a fine fellow but poor and helpless since missus rodgers had her accident
+1883
+then rodgers wouldnt do anything but lead her around and wait upon her and the place went to rack and ruin
+1884
+he spoke simply but pased up and down the narrow sell in front of them
+1885
+whose name did you sin to the check asked teneth
+1886
+he is supposed to sine all the checks of the concern
+1887
+its a stock company in rich
+1888
+i was bickkeeper so it was easy to get a blank check and forged the signature
+1889
+as regards my robbing the company ill say that i saved him a heavy loss one day
+1890
+i discovered and put out a fire that would have destroyed the whole plant but marcial never even thanked me
+1891
+it was better for him to think the girl and feaeling than to know the truth
+1892
+im going to see mister marchal said ctenneth and discover what i can do to assist you thank you sir
+1893
+it wont be much but im gratful to find a friend
+1894
+they left him then for the jaler arrived to unlock the door and escorde them to the office
+1895
+ive seen lots of that kind in my day
+1896
+and it rewins a mans disposition
+1897
+he looked up rather ungreaciously but motioned them to be ceated
+1898
+some girl has been in here twice to interview my men and i have refused to admitther
+1899
+im not electionearing just now
+1900
+oh well sir what about im
+1901
+and he disserves a term in states prisone
+1902
+it has cost me twice sixty dollars in annoyance
+1903
+ill pay all the cost besidess
+1904
+youre foolish why should you do all this
+1905
+i have my own reasons mister marchel
+1906
+give me a check for a hundred and fifty and ill turn over to you the forch check and quash further proceedings
+1907
+he detested the grasping disposition that would endeavour to take advantage of his evident desire to help young gates
+1908
+betth uneasy at as silence nudged him
+1909
+there was a grim smile of amusement on his shrude face
+1910
+he might hav had that forche check for the face of it if hed been sharp
+1911
+and to think we can save all that misery and despair by the payment of a hundred and fifty dollars
+1912
+so to the surprise that the democratic committ and all his friends mister hopkins announce that he would appose forts aggressive campain with an equall aggressiveness and spend as many dollars in doing so as might be necessary
+1913
+one of mister hopkins first tasks after calling his fathful henchman around him was to make a careful canviss of the voters of his district to see what was still to be accomplished
+1914
+the weak neade contingency must be strengthened and fortified and a coupple of hundred voats in one way or the other secured from aopposition
+1915
+the democratic committy figured out a way to do this
+1916
+under ordinary conditions renalds was sure to be ellected but the committy proposed to sacrifice him in order to elect hopkins
+1917
+the only thing necessary was to fix seth renalds and this hopkins arranged personally
+1918
+and this was why cenath and beth discovered him conversing with the young woman in the buggy
+1919
+the discription she gave of the coming reception to the womans political leage was so humorous and diverting that they were both lauhing hartily over the thing when the young people passed them and thus mister hopkins failed to notice who the occupantes of the other vehacle were
+1920
+these women were flattered by the attention of the young lady and had promised to assist in ellecting mister forbss
+1921
+louiese hoped for excellent results from this organization and wished the entertainment to be so effective in winning their good will that they would work earnestly for the cause in which they were inlisted
+1922
+the fair view band was engaged to discource as much harmony as it could produce and the resourses of the great house were taxd to entertaine the gesst
+1923
+tables were spread on the lawn and a dainty but substantial repased was to be served
+1924
+this was the first occasion whithin a generation when such an entertaindment had been given at elmhurst and the only whone within the memory of man where the neighbors and country people had been the invited gest
+1925
+the attendance was unexpectedly large and the girls were delighted for seeing great success for their fight
+1926
+we ought to have more attendants beth said luiese approaching her cousin
+1927
+wont you run into the house and see if martha cant spair one or two more mades
+1928
+she was very fond of the young ladies whom she had known when ant jane was their mistress here and beth was her special favourit
+1929
+the housekeeper led the way and beath followed
+1930
+for a moment beth stood staring while the new maid regarded her with composure and a slight smile upon her beautiful face
+1931
+she was dressed in the regulation costume of the mades at elmhurst a playin black gowne with a white apron and cap
+1932
+then she gave a little lauh and replied no miss beth i am alisabith parsons
+1933
+but it cant be protested the girl
+1934
+i attend to the household bending you know and care for the linen
+1935
+you speak like an educated person said betth wonderingly where is your home
+1936
+for the first time the mads seemed a little confused and her gayes wandered from the face of her visitor
+1937
+she sat down in a rocking chair and clasping her hands in her lap rolked slowly back and forth im sorry said betth
+1938
+alice of parsons shook her head
+1939
+they they excit me in some way and ii cant bear them you must excuse me
+1940
+she even seemed mildly amused at the attention she attracted
+1941
+beth was a beautiful girl the handsomest of the three cousins by far yet elisa surpassed her an  natural charm and seemed well aware of the fact
+1942
+her manner was neither independent nor assurtive but rather one of well bread composure and calme reliance
+1943
+her eyes wandered to the maides hands
+1944
+howevher her features and form might repress any evidence of nervousness these hands told a different story
+1945
+she rose quickly to her feet with an impetuous jesture that made her visitor cach her breath
+1946
+i wish i knew myself she cried fiarcely
+1947
+will you leave me alowne in my own room or must i go away to escape you
+1948
+eliza closed the door behind her with a decided slam and a ke clicked in the lock
+1949
+i will endeavor in my statement to avoid such terms as would surve to limit the events to any paticular place or give a clee as to the people concerned
+1950
+i had always known him to be restless in his manner but on this particular occasion he was in such a state of uncontrolable adgitation that it was clear something very unusual had occured
+1951
+my friends temper had not improved since he had been deprived of the congenial surroundings of baker street
+1952
+without his scrap books his cemicals and his homely und tidiness he was an uncomfortable man
+1953
+i had to read it over carefully as the text must be absolutely correct
+1954
+i was absent rather more than an hour
+1955
+the only duplicate which existed so far as i knew was that which belonged to my servant bannester a man who has looked after my room for ten years and whose honesty is absolutely above suspicion
+1956
+the moment i looked at my table i was aware that someone had rubmaged among my papers
+1957
+the proof was in three long slipps i had left them all together
+1958
+the alternative was that some one passing had observed the keye in the door had known that i was out and had entered to look at the papers
+1959
+i gave him a little brandy and left him collapsed in a chair wile i made the most careful examination of the room
+1960
+a broken tipp of lead was lying there also
+1961
+not only this but on the table i found a small ball of black do or clay with speccs of something which loos like sawdust in it
+1962
+above all things i desire to settle the matter quietly and descreetly
+1963
+to the best of my beliefe they were rolled up
+1964
+did any one know that these proofs would be there no one save the printer
+1965
+i was in such a hury to come to you you left your door open
+1966
+so it seems to me
+1967
+now mister salms at yur disposal
+1968
+above were three students one on each story
+1969
+then he approached it and standing on tipto with his net crained he looked into the room
+1970
+there is no opening except the one pain said our learned gide
+1971
+i am afraid there are no signes here said he
+1972
+one could hardly hope for any upon so dry a day
+1973
+you left him in a chair you say which chaire by the window there
+1974
+the men entered and took the papers sheet by sheet from the central table
+1975
+as a matter of fact he could not said salms for i entered by the side door
+1976
+how long wuld it takehim to do that using every possible contraction a quarter of an hour not less
+1977
+then he tossed it down and seaised the next
+1978
+he was in the midst of that when your return caused him to make a very hurried retreat very hurried since he had not time to replace the papers which would tell you that he had been there
+1979
+mister sams was somewate overwhelmed by this flod of information
+1980
+holmes heled out a small chip with the letters n n and a space of clear wood after them you see
+1981
+wotson i have always done you and injustice there are others
+1982
+i was hoping that if the paper on which he wroate was thin some trace of it might come through upon this polish surface no i see nothing
+1983
+as holmes drewh the curtain i was aware from some little rigidity and an alleartness of his attitude that he was prepared for an emergency
+1984
+holmes turned away and stooped suddenly to the floor helloh what is this
+1985
+holmes hutd it out on his open palm in the glare of the electrica light
+1986
+what could he do he caught up everything which would betray him and he rushed into your bedroom to conceal himself
+1987
+i understand you to say that there are three students who use this stair and are in the habit of passing your door yes there are
+1988
+and they are all in for this examination yes
+1989
+one hardly likes to throw suspicion where there are no proofs
+1990
+let us hear the suspicions i will look after the proofs
+1991
+my scoller has been left very poor but he is hard working and industrious he will do well
+1992
+the top floor belongs to miles meclaron
+1993
+i dare not go so far as that but of the three he is perhaps the least unlikely
+1994
+he was still suffering from thi sudden disturbance of the quiet ruteane of his life
+1995
+but i have occasionally done the same thing at other times
+1996
+did you look at these papers on the table
+1997
+how came you to leave the key in the door
+1998
+any on in the room could get out yes sir
+1999
+i really dont think he knew much about it mister holmes
+2000
+only for a minute orso
+2001
+oh i would not venture to say sir
+2002
+you havent seen any of them no sir
+2003
+it was the indian whose dark silowett appeared suddenly upon his blind
+2004
+he was pasing swiftly up and down his room
+2005
+the set of rooms is quite the oldest in the college and it is not unusual for visiters to go over them
+2006
+no names please said holmes as we knocked at gill crists door
+2007
+of course he did not reallise that it was i who was nocking but none theless his conduct was very uncourteous and indeed under ther circumstances rather suspicious
+2008
+that is very important said holmes
+2009
+you dont seem to reallise the position
+2010
+to morrow was the examination
+2011
+i cannot allow the examination to be held if one of the papers has been tampered with the situation must be faced
+2012
+it is possible that i may be in a position then to indicate some course of action
+2013
+i will take the black clay with me also the pencal cuttings god by
+2014
+when we were out in the darkness of the quadrangle we again looked up at the windows
+2015
+the fowl mouthe fellow at the top
+2016
+he is the one with the worst record
+2017
+why banester the servant whats his game in the matter
+2018
+he impressed me as being a perfectly honest man
+2019
+my friend did not appear to be depressed by his failior but shrugged his shoulders in half humorous resignation
+2020
+no good my dear watson
+2021
+i think so you have formed a conclusion
+2022
+yes my dear wotson i have solved the mistery
+2023
+look at that he held out his hand
+2024
+on the palm were three little piramedes of black doy clay
+2025
+and one more this morning
+2026
+in a few hours the examination would commence and he was still in the dilema between making the facts public and allowing the culpret to compeate for the valuble scollership
+2027
+he could hardly stand still so great was his mental agitation and he ran towards holmes with two eager hands outstretched thank heven that you have come
+2028
+you know him i think so
+2029
+if this matter is not to become public we must give ourselves certain powers and resolve ourselves into a small private courte marcial
+2030
+no sir certainly not
+2031
+there was no man sir
+2032
+his troubled blue eyes glanced at each of us and finally rested with an expression of blank dismay upon bannaster in the farther corner
+2033
+just close the door said holmes
+2034
+we want to know mister gillcrist how you and honourable man ever came to commit such an action as that of yesterday
+2035
+for a moment gillcrist with upraysed hand tried to control his rithing feacures
+2036
+come come said holmes kindly it is human to air and at least no one can accuse you of being a calouse chriminal
+2037
+well well dont trouble to answer listen and see that i do you know injustice
+2038
+he could examine the papers in his own office
+2039
+the indian i also thought nothing of
+2040
+when i approached your room i examined the window
+2041
+no one less than that would have a chance
+2042
+i entered and i took you into my confidence as to the suggestions of the side table
+2043
+he returned carrying his jumping shes which are provided as you are ware with several sharp spikes
+2044
+no harm would have been done had it not been that as he passed your door he perceived the key which had ben left by the carelessness of your servant
+2045
+a suddan impulse came over him to enter and see if they were indeed the proofs
+2046
+he put his shoos on the table
+2047
+gloves said the young man
+2048
+suddenly he heard him at the very door there was no possible escape
+2049
+have i told the truth mister kilcrist
+2050
+i have a letter here mister salms which i roate to you early this morning in the middle of a restless night
+2051
+it will be clear to you from what i have said that only you could have let this young man out since you were left in the room and must have locked the door when you went out
+2052
+it was simple enough sir if you only had known but with all your cleverness it was impossible that you could know
+2053
+if mister solms saw them the game was up
+2054
+she was tired of other things
+2055
+she tried this morning an ar ortwo upon the pianow saying a simple song in a sweet but slightly metalic voice and then seating herself by the open window red philips letter
+2056
+well mother said the young student looking up with a shade of impatience
+2057
+i hope the told the elders that father and i are responsible for the piano and that much as thee loves music thee is never in the room when it is played
+2058
+i heard father tell cousin abnor that he was wipped so often for whissling when he was a boy that he was determined to have what compensation he could get now
+2059
+thy ways greatly try me ruth and all thy relations
+2060
+is thy father willing the should go away to a school of the worlds people
+2061
+i have not asked him ruth replied with a look that might imply that she was one of those determined little bodies who first made up her own mind and then compelled others to make up theirs in accordence with hers
+2062
+mother i am going to study medicine
+2063
+margret bolton almost lousced for a moment her habitual placidity
+2064
+the study medicin
+2065
+dous the think the could stand it six months
+2066
+and besides suppose the dos learn medicin
+2067
+i will practice it
+2068
+where thee and thy family are known
+2069
+if i can get patients
+2070
+ruth sat quite still for a time with face intent and flushed it was out now
+2071
+the sighteceers returned in high spirits from the city
+2072
+ruth asked the enthusiist if they would like to live in such a sounding mosoleum with its great halls and ecchoing rooms and no comforable place in it for the accommodation of any body
+2073
+and then there was broad street
+2074
+there certainly was no end to it and even ruth was fhilidelfhi an enough to believe that a street ought nought to have any end or architectural point upon which the weary eye could rest
+2075
+but neither saint jerard nor broadstreet neither wonders of the ment nor the glories of the hall where the goasts of our fathers sit always sining the declaration impressed the visitors so much as the splendors of the chestnut street windows and the bargons on eighth street
+2076
+is the going to the yearly meeting ruth asked one of the girls
+2077
+i have nothing to war replied that demeure person
+2078
+it has occupied mother a long time to find at the shops the exact shade for her new bonnete
+2079
+and vhe wont go why should i
+2080
+if i go to meeating at all i like best to sit in the quiet old house in jurman town where the windows are all open and i can see the trees and heare the stir of the leaves
+2081
+its such a crush at the yearly meating at arch street and then there s the rowe of sleek looking young men who lie in the curbstone and stared us as we come out
+2082
+he doesnt say but its on the frontere and on the map everything beyond it is marked indians and desert and looks as desolate as a winsay meating hit was time for him to do something
+2083
+is he going to start a daily newspaper among the kickapus
+2084
+father these arn just philip hes going into busness
+2085
+he dosnt say exactly what it is said ruth a little dubiously but its something about land and raleroads and he knows father that fortunes are made nobody knows exactly how in a knew country
+2086
+but philip is honest and he has talent enough if he will stop scribbling to make his way
+2087
+what a boxe women are put into measured for it and put in young if we go anywhere its in a boxe bailed and pinniened and shut in by disabilities
+2088
+why should i rust and be stupid and sit in an action because i am a girl
+2089
+and if i had a fortune would thee want me to lead a useless life
+2090
+has the consulted thy mother about a charear i suppose it is a charear of thee wants
+2091
+but that wise and plassid woman understood the sweet rebbel a great deal better than ruth understood herself
+2092
+ruth was glad to hear that philip had made a push into the world and she was sure that his talent and courrage would make away for him
+2093
+yoll never dig it out of the aster librery
+2094
+to the young american here or elsewhere the paths to fortune are innumorable and all open there is invitation in the air and success in all his wide horison
+2095
+he has no traditions to bind him or gide him and his impulse is to breake away from the occupation his father has followed and make a knew way for himself
+2096
+the modest fellow would have liked fame thrusts upon him for some worthy atchievement it might be for a book or for the skillful mannagement of some great newspaper or for some daring expedition like that of litenante strain or doctor cane
+2097
+he was unable to decide exactly what it should be
+2098
+sometimes he thought he would like to stand in a conspicious pulpet and humbly preachd the gospale of repentant and it even cross his mind that it would be knoble to give himself to a missionary life to some benited reagon where the date pam groes and the nightengales voice is in tonne and the bulbol sings on the afpnights
+2099
+law seemed to him well enough as a sience but he never could discover a practical case where it appeared to him worth while to go to law and all the cliants who stopped with this new clurk in the anti room of the law office where he was riting fhilip invariably advised to settle no matter how but settle greatly to the disgust of his employer who knew that justice between man and man could only be ottained by the recognised processes with the attendantpes
+2100
+it is such a noble ambition that it is a pitty it has usually such a shallow foundation
+2101
+he wanted to begin at the top of the latter
+2102
+phillip therefore read diligently in the aster librery planed literary works that should compell attention and nersed his genious
+2103
+he had no friend wise enough to tell him to step into the dorking convention than an session make a sketch of the men and women on the platforme and take it to the editor of the daly grape vine and see what he could get a line for it
+2104
+oh very well said gringo turning away with a shade of contempt youll find if you are going into litterature and newspaper workthat you cant afford a conshience like that
+2105
+what philip did afford it and he wrote thinking his friends and declining because he said the political skeame would faile and ought to faill
+2106
+and he went back to his books and to his waiting for an opening large enough for his dignified entrance into the literary world
+2107
+well im going as an engineere you could go as one
+2108
+you can beginn by carrying a road and putting down the figures
+2109
+no whits not too soon
+2110
+ive been ready to go anywhere for six months
+2111
+the two young men who were by this time full of the adventure went down to the wallstreet office of henrys uncle and had a talk with that widely opperator
+2112
+the night was spent in packing up in riting letters for philip would not take such an important step without imforming his friends
+2113
+why its an masury somewhere on the fronter i think well get a map
+2114
+i was afraid it was nearer home
+2115
+he knew his uncle would be glad to hear that he had at last turned his thoughts to a practical matter
+2116
+he well knew the perils of the frontere the savage state of society the lurking indions and the dangers of feaver
+2117
+yes dead these four years and a good job for her too
+2118
+well as i say its an aufule quear world they clapp all the burglers and jaw and the murderers and the wife peeters i alles thought a genetle reproof would be enough punishment for a wife peeter cause he probably has a lot of provocation that no body knows and the fire bugs cant think of the right name something like sendiaries and the brakers of the piace and what not and yet the law has nothing to say to a man like han loard
+2119
+grandfather was alexander carry el l de doctor of laws that is
+2120
+mister papm lay down his brush
+2121
+i swane to man he ejaculated if you dont work hard you cant keep up with the times doctor of laws
+2122
+done he aint done a thing he ordere since he was born
+2123
+he keeps that thou shault not commandments first great henlord dos
+2124
+he gave up his position and shut the family up in that toom of a house sotat he could study his book
+2125
+mister papam exagerated nothing but on the contrary left much unsaid in his narrative of the family at the house of loards
+2126
+henry lord with the degree of pe ch de to his credit had been professor of zuology at a new england college but had resined his post in order to rite a series of sientific text books
+2127
+always iritable cold indifferent he had grown rappidly more so as eyears went on
+2128
+whatever appealed to her sense of beauty was straight way transfered to paper or canves
+2129
+she is wiled to know how to do things
+2130
+she makes effort after effort trembling with eagerness and when she fails to reproduce what she sees she works herself into a frenjy of grief and disappointment
+2131
+when she could not make a rabbit or a bird look real on paper she serched in her fathers books for pictures of its bonds
+2132
+ciril there must be some better way of doing id just draw the outline of an animal and then i put hairs or fethers on it they have no bodies
+2133
+they couldnt run or move there just pas bord
+2134
+he wouldnt scerch so dont worry replied sirrel quietly and the two looked at each other and knew that it was so
+2135
+there in the seter halle then lived alib lowrd an angry resentful little creature wayed down by a fiarce sense of injery
+2136
+alovs mournful black eyes met nanciys sparkling brown ones
+2137
+nancies crerly chesstnut crop shone in the sun and allovs thick black plates looked blacker by contrast
+2138
+she is wonderful more wonderful than anybody weve ever seen anywhere and she drawls better than the teacher in charles town
+2139
+shes older than i am but so tigny and sad and shy that she seems like a child
+2140
+but the more forgetfulness had then prevailed the more powerful was the force of remembrance when she awoke
+2141
+miss millners health is not good
+2142
+said missus whorton a few minutes after
+2143
+so there is to me added samford with a sarcastic snear
+2144
+and yet you must own her behavior has warented them has it not been in this particular incohearent and unaccountable
+2145
+not that i know of not one more that i know of he replied with astonishment at what she had insinuated and yet with a perfect assurance that she was in the rong
+2146
+perhaps i am mistaken answered she
+2147
+to ask any more questions of you i believe would be unfair
+2148
+he seemed to wait for her reply but as she made none he proceeded
+2149
+oh my lord cried miss wodly with a most forcible accent you are the last person on earth she would parden me fore intrusting
+2150
+but in such a case miss milners election of a husband shall not direct minde
+2151
+if she dos not know how to estimate her own value i do
+2152
+independent of her fortune she has beauty to captivate the heart of any man and with all her follies she has a frankness in her manner an uneffected wisdom in her thoughts o vavacity in her conversation and with all a softness in her demeanour that might alone engage the affections of a man of the nihcest sentiments and the strongest understanding
+2153
+my lord miss milners taste is not a depraved one it is but too refined
+2154
+what can you mean by that miss woodly you talk misteriously
+2155
+is she not afraid that i will thwart her inclinations
+2156
+again he searched his own thoughts nor ineffectually as before
+2157
+miss woodly was too little versed in the subject to know this would have been not to love at all at least not to the extent of braking through engagements and all the various obstacles that still mitigated against their union
+2158
+to relieve her from both he layd his hand with force upon his heart and said do you believe me
+2159
+i will make no unjust use of what i know he replied with firmness i believe you my lord
+2160
+i have never yet however been vanquished by them and even upon this occasion my reason shall come bat them to the last and my reasons shall fail me before i do rong
+2161
+naddy harmon tried the kitchen pump secretely several times during the evening for the water had to run up hill all the way from the well to the kitchen sink and he believed this to be a continual miracle that might give out at any moment
+2162
+to night there was no need of extra heat and there were great ceremonies to be observed in lighting the fires on the harthstands
+2163
+they began with the one in the family sitting room curnal weller raulfh thurston mister and missus bill harmon with naddy an ruffic mister and missus popam with diggby and laly joy all standing in admiring groops and thrilling with delight at the order of events
+2164
+catheleene wave the torch to and frow as she recited some beautiful lins ritten for some such purpose as that which called them together to night
+2165
+birn fire birn flicker flickere flame
+2166
+next came olivestorn to help in the ceremonies
+2167
+ralfe thurston had found a line of lattin for them in his beloved horents tibby splendet focus for you the hearth fire shines
+2168
+olive had painted the modow on a long narrow pannel of canviss and giving it to mister pappum stood by the fireside while he deathly fitted itinto the place prepared for it
+2169
+alip has another lovely gift for the yellow house said mother carry rising and to carry out the next part f the program we shall have to go in procession up stairs to my bedroom
+2170
+exclaimed bill harmon to his wife as they went through the lighted hall
+2171
+aint they the greatest
+2172
+mother carry poored coffy nancy chaklet and the others help serve the samwaghes and cake donats and tarts
+2173
+at that moment the gentleman entered bearing a huge object concealed by a piece of green fell
+2174
+approaching the digning table he carefully placed the article in the center and removed the cloth
+2175
+think sia myself i never seen anything oush pap am gouldnt men if he took time enough and glew enough so ive carried this little feller home in a bushel basket one night last month and ive spent elevent evenings puten him together
+2176
+missus harmon thought he sang too much and told er husband privately that if he was a canary bird she should want to keep a table cover over his hedd most of the time but he was immensely popular with the rest of his audiencee
+2177
+the face of the mohogoney shone with delight and why not when it was doing everything almost everything within the scope of a piano and yet the family had enjoyed weeks of good neurishing meals on what had been saved by its exertions
+2178
+we shut our eyes the flowers bloome on we murmure but the corners fill we choose the shadow but the sun that cast it shines behind us still
+2179
+he began a confused complaint against the whisard who had vanished behind the curtain on the left
+2180
+give not so earnest a mind to these murmoriys child
+2181
+a golden fortune and a happy life
+2182
+he was likeene to my father in a way and yet was not my father
+2183
+also there was a strippling page who turned into a made
+2184
+this was so sweet a lady sir and in some manner i do think she died
+2185
+but then the picture was gone as quickly as it came
+2186
+sister nel do you hear these marvels
+2187
+take your place and let us see what the christal can show to ou
+2188
+like is not young master though i am an old man
+2189
+forth with all ran to the opening of the tent to see what might be a miss but master will who peaped out first needed no more than one glance
+2190
+he gave way to the others very readily and retreated unperceived by the squire and mistress fits yhouth to the rear of the tent
+2191
+cryes of unnotdingham un notdingham
+2192
+before them fled the stroaller and his three sons capless and terrified
+2193
+what is the tumulton rieting cried out the squiere authoritatively and he blewe twice on the silver whissel which hung at his belt
+2194
+nay we refused their request most polightly most noble said the little straller
+2195
+and then they became vexed and would have snatched your perse from us
+2196
+i could not see my boy injured excellence for but doing his duty as one of cumbrlan sons
+2197
+so i did push this fellow
+2198
+it is enough said jorge gamewell sharply as he turned upon the croud
+2199
+shame on you citicens cried he i blush for my fellows of noddingham
+2200
+surely we can submit with good grace
+2201
+tis fine for you to talk old man answered thelean soll in apprentice
+2202
+but i resstled with this fellow and do know that he played unfairely in the second bout
+2203
+spoke the squire loosing all patient and it was to you that i gave another person consolation
+2204
+come to me men herre here he raised his voice still loubder
+2205
+the strollers took their part in it with hearty zest now that they had some chance of beeting off their fose
+2206
+robbin and the little tumbler between them tried to force the squire to stand back and very valiently did these two comport themselves
+2207
+the headden chief of the ryet the nottingham apprenticed with clenched fists threattened montphicher
+2208
+the squire helped to thrust them all in and entered swiftly himself
+2209
+now be silent on your lives he began but the captured apprentase set up an instant shout
+2210
+silence you nave cried mont plichet
+2211
+he felt for and found the whiserds black cloth the squire was quite out of breath
+2212
+thrusting open the proper entrance of the tent robbin suddenly rushed forth with his burdan with a great shout
+2213
+a mont pichet a mont vichet game well to the rescue
+2214
+taking advantage of this the squires few men redoubled their efforts and incourraged by robbins ind the little strallers cryes faught their way to him
+2215
+jorge mont pichet will never forget this dayy
+2216
+what is your name lording asked the little strawller presently
+2217
+robbin fitsuth
+2218
+and mine is will stuttly shall we be comrades

+right willingly for between us we have one the battle answered robbin
+2220
+i like you will you are the second will that i have met in liked within two days is there a signe in that
+2221
+mont fichet called out for robbin to give him an arm
+2222
+friends said mont pichet faintly to the resslers bear us escort so far as the sherofs house
+2223
+it will not be safe for you to stay here now
+2224
+pray follow us with mine and my lord sherefs men
+2225
+nottingham castle was reached and admittencs was demanded
+2226
+master monco the sherif of noddingham was mightilly putt about when told of the rieting
+2227
+and henry might return to england at any moment
+2228
+have your will child if the boy all so wills it mont pfichet answered feeling too ill to oppose anything very strongly just then
+2229
+he made an effort to hide his condition from them all and robbin felt his fingers tighten upon his arm
+2230
+begg me a room of the sheriff child quickly
+2231
+but who is this fellow plucking at your steave
+2232
+he is my esquire excellency returned robbin with dignity
+2233
+mistress fits uth had been carried off by the shareofs daughter and her mades as soon as they had entered the house so that robbin alone had the care of mont vichet
+2234
+robbin was glad when at length they were left to their own devices
+2235
+the wine did certainly bring back the color to the squires cheeks
+2236
+these escapates are not for old game well lad his day has come to twylight
+2237
+will you forgive me now
+2238
+it ill be no disappointment to me
+2239
+no thanks i am glad to give you such easy happiness
+2240
+you are a worthy leach will presently whispered robbin the wine has worked a marvel
+2241
+i and show you some pretty tricks
+2242
+young fits uth had been commanded to his mothers chamber so soon as he had come out from his convers with the squire
+2243
+there befell an anxious interview misteress fits oth arguing for and against the squires project in a breath
+2244
+most of all robbin thought of his father what would he councel
+2245
+if for a whim you begger yourself i cannot stay you
+2246
+but take it welst i live and where montfiches shield in the days when my eyes can be rejoiced by so breave a sight for you will never disgrace our stuch and i woreent me
+2247
+the lad had checked him then
+2248
+never that sir he had said
+2249
+he was in deep converse with the clerk and entered the hall holding him by the arm
+2250
+now to bed boy
+2251
+tis late and i go myself within a short space
+2252
+dismisse your squire robbin and bid me good eaten
+2253
+as any in england i would say said gamwell proudly that is in his day
+2254
+yet he will teach you a few tricks when morning is come
+2255
+there was no chance to alter his sleeping room to one nearer to game wells chamber
+2256
+presently he crossed the floor of his room with decided step
+2257
+will cried he softly and stutly who had chosen his couch across the door of his young masters chamber sprang up at once in answer
+2258
+we will go out together to the bower there is a way down to the court fom my window
+2259
+rest and be still until i warn you
+2260
+the hours passed wearily by and movement could yet be heard about the hall
+2261
+at last all was quiet and black in the courtyard of gamewell
+2262
+will whispered robbin opening his door as he spoke are you ready
+2263
+they then renewed their journey and under the better light made a safe crossing of the stable roofs
+2264
+robbin entered the hut dragging the unwilling esquire after him
+2265
+be not so foolish friend said fits uth crossly
+2266
+they moved thereafter cautiously about the hut groping before and about them to find something to show that warinton had fulfilled his mission
+2267
+they were upon the virge of an open trap in the far corner of the hut and stutly had tripped over the edge of the reversed flap mouth of this pit
+2268
+fitsuths hand rested at last upon the top rong of a latder and slowly the truith came to him
+2269
+robbin carefully descended the latter and found himself soon upon firm rocky ground
+2270
+stutly was by his side and a flash and then they both began feeling about them to ascertaine the shape and character of this volt
+2271
+from the blackness behind the light they heard a voice warringtons
+2272
+save me masters but you startled me rarely
+2273
+cried he waiving the lanthorn before him to make sure that these were no goasts in front of him
+2274
+inquired robbin with his suspicion still upon him
+2275
+truly such a horse would be worth much in notding him fair
+2276
+na nay lording answered worrington with a half laugh
+2277
+warrington spoke thus with significance to show robbin that he was not to think jefferys clames to the estate would be passed by
+2278
+robin fits suth saw that his doubts of warrinton had been unfair and he became asshamed of himself for harboring them
+2279
+his tones rang pleasantly on warringtons ears and forth with the good fellowship was herolded between them
+2280
+the old servant told him quietly as they creppt back to gamewell that this passage way led from the hut in the pleasance to shurewood and that jeffery for the time was hiding with the outlaws in the forest
+2281
+he emplores us to be descreet as the grave in this matter for insuith his life is in the hollow of our hands
+2282
+they regained their appartment apparently without disturbing the household of ganewell
+2283
+briter than early dawns most brilliant dy are blone clear bands of color through the sky that swerl and sweep and meat to brake and fome like rainbow vels upon a bubles dome
+2284
+gided by you how we might strol towards death our only music one anothers breath through gardens intimate with hollyhocks where silent poppies burne between the rocks by pools where burch has been to confidance above green waters scumed with e lilly plants
+2285
+venis
+2286
+in a sunset glowing of crimson and gold she lies the glory of the worlda beached kings galley whose sails are firld who has hung with tarpestries rich and old
+2287
+the pity that we must come and go
+2288
+whiled the old gold and the marble days forever gleaming its soft strong blaze calm in te early evening gloe
+2289
+the pleasant graveyard of my soul with sentimental siprous trees and flowers is filled that i may strowl in meditation at my eas
+2290
+it is my heart hung in the sky and no clouds ever float between the grave flowers and my heart on high
+2291
+over the track lined city street the young man the grinning man passe
+2292
+ho  ye sails that seem to wonder in dream filled meadows say is this shore where i stand the only field of struggle or are ye hit and battered out there by waves and windgust as he attack over a clashing sea of watery eccoes
+2293
+old dances are symplified of their yurning bleached by time
+2294
+he had got into her courtyard
+2295
+through the black night raign he sang to her window bars
+2296
+that was but rustling of dripping plants in the dark
+2297
+she was alone that night
+2298
+he had broken into her courtyard
+2299
+then he rushed down stairs into the courtyard shouting loudly for his souldiers and thretening to patch everybadyinas dominions that the cailerman was not recaptured
+2300
+whold him fast to my men and as soon as ivehad my coffy an oatmel ill take him to the room of the great nife and patch him
+2301
+i wouldnt mind a cuppak offy myself said kembill i ave had considdable exceler cize this mornining and im already for breakfast
+2302
+but cappein bill made no such attempt knowing it would be useless
+2303
+as soon as they entered the room of the great nife the bouleru gave a yell of disappointment
+2304
+the room of the great nife was high and big and around it ran rose of benches for the spectators to sittaplone
+2305
+in one place at the head of the room was a raised platform for the royal family with elegant throne chairs for the king and queen and six smaller but richly apostered chairs for the snov nose princesses
+2306
+therefore her magesty payed no attention to any one and no one payed any attention to her
+2307
+rich jwels of blue stones glittered upon their persons and the royal ladies were fully as gorgeous as they were haughty and overbearing
+2308
+morning girl shop yefill as well as ye look
+2309
+control yourselves my dears replied the bulerew the worst punishment i know how to inflict on any one this prisoner is about to suffer you will see a very pretty patching my royal daughters
+2310
+suppose its a frend
+2311
+the captain shook his head
+2312
+why you sit to fech the first living creacture we met and that was this billygoate replied the captain panting hard as he heldfast to one of the goates hornes
+2313
+the idea of patching catten bolt to a goat was vastly amusing to him and the more he thought of it the more he roared with laughter
+2314
+they look something allike you know suggested the captain of the gards looking from one to the other doubtfully and theye nearly the same sie if you stand a got on his higne legs theyve both got the same stile of whiskes and there bot for them obstinate an dangerous so they ought to make a good patch spllendid
+2315
+fine gloriouss
+2316
+when this had been accomplished the bouleru leaned over to try to  discover why the frame roled away seamingly of its own accord and he was the more pusale because it had never done such a thing before
+2317
+at once the goate gave a leap escaped from the soldiers and with bouwed head rushed upon the buleru
+2318
+before any could stop him he budded his magesty so furiously that the king swored far into the air and tumbled in a heap among the benches where he lay moning and groning
+2319
+the goates war like spirit was roused by this successful attack
+2320
+then they spead in great haste for the door and the goat gave a final but that sent ta row of royal ladies all diving into the corridor in another tangle whereupon they shreeked in a manner that terrified everyone within sound of their voices
+2321
+i aa notion it was you ma to save me from the nife
+2322
+i couldnt shiver much being bound so tihte but when im lose i mean to have just one good shiver to relieave my feelings
+2323
+comming get the bullerou she said going toward the benches
+2324
+so they were quite willing to obey the orders of their girl queen and in a short time the blast of trumpets and role of drums and clashing of simbles told trout and cappin bill that the blue bands had assembled before the palace
+2325
+then they all marched out a little way into the fields and found that the army of pinkies had already formed and was afvancing steadily toward them
+2326
+at the head of the pinkies were gippega sisal and buttan bright who had the perit on his shoulder and they were supported by captain coroli and captain tintnt and rosily the wich
+2327
+when the blue skinn saw gitca cisel they raised another great shout for he was the favourit of the soldiers and very popular with all the people
+2328
+since last thirsday i kip gsisal have been the lawful bleruw of the blue country but now that you are conkoered by queen throt i suppose i am conkere to wan you have no boleru at all
+2329
+when he finished she said cheerfully
+2330
+dont worry cissile dear itll all come right pretty soon
+2331
+now then lets enter the city and enjoy the great fiast thats being cooked im nearly starve myself for this congering kingdoms is hard work
+2332
+then she gave rosaly back her madtik ring thanking the kind which for all she had done for them
+2333
+you are mate replied the cailor
+2334
+it will be such a satisfaction
+2335
+the gards had a terrible struggle with the goate which was loose n the room and still anted to fight but finally they subdued the animal and then they took the bouleruw out of the frame ho was tiged in and brought both him and the goat before queen tright who awaited them in the throne room of the palace
+2336
+il gladly do that promised the new bulerew and ill feed the honourable got all the shavings and leather and tin kansy ganeat besides the grass
+2337
+excuse me said chot i neglected to tell you that youre not the bolerou any more
+2338
+the former buleru growned
+2339
+il not be wicked any more sied the old buleru oul reform
+2340
+as a private citicen i shall be a modele of department because it would be dangerous to be otherwise
+2341
+when first they entered the throne room they tried to be as haughty and scournful as ever but the blues who were assembled there all laughed at them and jeared them for there was not a single person in all the blue country who loved the princes is the least little but
+2342
+so gipp ga cissel ordered the captain to take a file of soldiers and escort the raving beauties to their new home
+2343
+that evening trot gave a grand ball in the palace to which the most important of the pinkies and the blue skins were invided
+2344
+the combined bands of boath the countries played the music and a fine supper was served
+2345
+frank read english slowly and the more he read about this devarce case the angrier he grew
+2346
+marie sied
+2347
+a brick wind had come up and was driving puffy white clouds across the sky
+2348
+the orchued was sparkling and rippling in the sun
+2349
+that invitation decided her
+2350
+oh but im glad to get this place mode
+2351
+just smell the whild roses they are always so spicy after a rain
+2352
+we never had so many of them in here before
+2353
+i suppose its the whet season will you have to cut them too
+2354
+i suppose thats the what season too then
+2355
+its exciting to see everything growing so fast and to get the grass cut
+2356
+arent you splashed look at the spider webs all over the grass
+2357
+in a few moments he heard the cherries dropping smartly into the pale and he began to swing his side with that long even stroke that few american boys ever learned
+2358
+maree picked cherries and saying softly to herself stripping one glittering branch after another shivering when she caught a showr of raindrops on her neck and hair
+2359
+and amiel mode his way slowly down toward the cherry trees
+2360
+that summer the rains had been so many and opportune that it was almost more than shebata and his man could do to keep up with the corn the orchard was a neglected wilderness
+2361
+i dont know all of them but i know lindons are
+2362
+if i feel that way i feel that way
+2363
+he reached up among the branches and began to pick the sweet incippid frouit long ivery colloured barries tipped with faint pink like white corrol that fall to the ground unheated all sommer through
+2364
+he dropped a handfull into her lap
+2365
+yes dont you
+2366
+oh ever so much only he seems kind of stayad and scool teachury
+2367
+when she used to tell me about him i always wondered whether she wasnt a little in love with him
+2368
+it would serve you all right if she walked off with carl
+2369
+i like to talk to carl about new york and what a fellow can do there
+2370
+ogh aymil
+2371
+surely you are not thinking of going off there
+2372
+maris face fell under his bruiding gas
+2373
+i am sure alexander hopes you will stay on here she murmured
+2374
+i dont want to stand around al nogon
+2375
+i want to be doing something on my own account
+2376
+sometimes i dont want to do anything at all and sometimes i want to pull the pour corners of the divide together he threw out his arm and brought it back with a jerk so like a table cloth
+2377
+i get tired of seeing men and horses going up and down up and down
+2378
+i wish ye werent so restless and didnt get so worked up over things she said sadly
+2379
+thank you he returned shortly
+2380
+and ho never used to be crosse to me
+2381
+i cant play with you like a little boy any more he said slowly thats what you misse mare
+2382
+but aymil if i understand then all our good times are over we can never do nice things together any more
+2383
+and anyhow there s nothing too understand
+2384
+that wont last it will go away and things ill be just as they use to
+2385
+i pray for you but thats not the same as if you prayed yourself
+2386
+i cant pray to have the things i want he said slowly and i wont pray not to have them not if im dambed for it
+2387
+than all our good times are over
+2388
+it is sixteen years since john burgson died
+2389
+his wife now lies beside him and the white shaft that marks their graves gleams across the wheat fields
+2390
+from the norwegian grave yard one looks out over a vast checkerbord marked off in squars of wheat and corn light and dark dark and light
+2391
+from the grave yard gate one can count a dosen gayly painted farm houses the gilded wedthervains on the big red barns wink at each other across the green and brown and yellow fields
+2392
+the er and the erth are curiously mated and intermingled as if the one were the breath of the other
+2393
+he was a splendid figure of a boy tall and straigt as a young pin tree with a handsome head and stormy greay eyes deeply set under a serious brow
+2394
+thats not much of a job for an athlite here ive been to town on back
+2395
+awlexandra lats you sleep late
+2396
+she gathered up her rains
+2397
+please wait for me maree amel coxed
+2398
+i never see luse sihe over here
+2399
+how brown youve got sincse you came home i wish i had an atthalite to mo my orchard
+2400
+i get whet to my kneas when i go down to pick cherries
+2401
+indeed he had looked away with the purpose of not seeing it
+2402
+they think you are proud because you ve been a way to school or something
+2403
+there was something individual about the great farm a most unusual trimness and care for detail
+2404
+on either side of the rod for a mile before you reached the foot of the hill stood tall osage orange hedges their glossy green marking off the yellow fields
+2405
+any one there abouts would have told you that this was one of the ritchest farms on the divide and that the farmer was a woman alexandra burgson
+2406
+there is even a white rowe of beahives ind the orchard under the wallnut trees
+2407
+here she would stay comforted and suhd among the lovely plants and ritch exotics rejoicing the heart of old turner the gardener whom since pollys first rapterous entrance had taken her into his good graces for all time
+2408
+every chance she could steal after practice hours were over and after the clamorous demans of the boys u pon her time were fully satisfied was seased to fly on the wings of the wind to the flowers
+2409
+then dear said missus whittny you must be kinder to her than ever think what it would be for one of you to be away from home even among friends
+2410
+somehow of all the days when the home feeling was the strongest this day it seemed as if she could bear it no longer
+2411
+thif she could only see fronsy for just one moment
+2412
+oh shes always at the piano said ban she must be there now somewhere and then somebody laughed
+2413
+at this the bundle opened suddenly and out popped fronziy
+2414
+but pollly couldnt speak and if jasper hadnt caught her just in time she would have tumbled over backward from the stool fronsiy and all
+2415
+asked fronziy with her little face close to pollys own
+2416
+now yell stay cried van say polly wont you
+2417
+oh you are the dearest and best mister king i ever saw but how did you make mammy let her come
+2418
+isent he splended cried jasper in intense pride swelling up father knew how to do it
+2419
+there there he said soothingly patting her brown fussy head
+2420
+i know gasped polly controling her sobs i wont only i cant thank you
+2421
+asked pronsiy in intense interest slipping down out of pollys arms and crowding up close to jaspers side
+2422
+yes all alone by himself  asserted jasper vehomantly and winking furiously to the others to stop theire laughing he did now truely fronciy
+2423
+oh no jhapser i must go by my very own self
+2424
+there jap youve gought it lauphed percy while the others screamed at the side of jaspars face
+2425
+dont mind it polly whispered jasper twasnt her fault
+2426
+dear me ejaculated the old gentleman ind the utmost amasement and such a time as ive had to get her here too
+2427
+how did her mother ever let her go
+2428
+she asked him pulsively i didnt believe you could persuade her father
+2429
+i didnt have any fears if i worked it rightly said the old gentleman complacently
+2430
+he cried an high dudgin just as if he owned the whole of the peppers and could dispose of them all to soit his fancy
+2431
+and the old gentleman was so delighted with his success that he had to burst out into a series of short happy bitts of laughter that occupied quite a space of time
+2432
+at last he came out of them and wiped his face vigorously
+2433
+but already at a point in economic evolution far antidating the emergence of the lady specialized concemption of goods as an evidence of pecuniary strength had begun to work out in a more or less elaborate system
+2434
+the utility of consumption as an evidence of wealth is to be classed as a derivative groth
+2435
+such concemption as falls trouh the women is mearely incidental to their work it is a means to their continued labor and not a concemption directed to their own comfort and fullness of life
+2436
+with a further advance in culture this tabu may changed into simple custim of a more or less rigorous character but whatever be the theoretical basis of the distintion which is maintained whether it be att abu or a larger conventionality the feaures of the conventional sceame of concemption do not change easily
+2437
+in the nature of things luguries and the comforts of life belonged to the leasure classe
+2438
+under the tabu certain victuels and more paticularly certain beveriges are strictly reserved for the use of the superior class
+2439
+drankenness and the other pathological consequences of the free use of stimulance therefore tend in their turn to become onorific as being a marke at the second remove of the superiour status of those who are able to afford the indulgencee
+2440
+it has even happened that the name for certain deseaised conditions of the body arrising from such an orrigin has passed into everyday speach as a cinenim for noble or gentle
+2441
+the consemption of luguries in the true sense is a concemption directed to the comfort of the consumer himself and is therefore a mark of the moster
+2442
+with many qualifications with more qualifications as the patriarcal tradition has gradually wecened the general ruale is felt to be right and binding that women should consume only for the benefit of their masters
+2443
+the objection of course presents itself that expenditure on womans dress and household parafrornalia is an obvious ecception to this rule but it will appear in the sequal that this ecception is much more obvious than substancial
+2444
+the custum of festive gadtherings probably originated in motives of conviviality and religion these motives are also present in the late development but they do not continue to be the sole motives
+2445
+there is a morealless elaborate system of rankan grates
+2446
+this differenciation is furthered by the inheritance of wealth and the consequent inheritancs of gentility
+2447
+many of these affiliated gentlemen of leasure are at the same time lessem men of substance in their own right so that some of them are scarcely at all others only parcaly to be rated as viycarious consumers
+2448
+so many of them however as make up the retainer and hangerson of the patron may be classed as viycarious consumer without qualification
+2449
+many of these again and also many of the other ouristocracy of les degree have in turn attached to their persons a more orless comprehensive groop of vicarious consumer in the persons of their wives and children their servants retainers etcetera
+2450
+the waring of uniforms of liveries implyes a considerable degree of dependance and may even be said to be a mark of servitude real or ostensible
+2451
+the warers of uniforms and liveries may be ruffhly diided into two classes the free and the servile or the noble and the ignoble
+2452
+but the general distinction is not on that account to be overlooked
+2453
+so those offices which are by rihte the proper employment of the leasure classe are noble such as goverment fighting hunting the caire of arms and accoutrments and the like in short those which may be classed as ostensibly preditory employments
+2454
+whenever as in these cases the meneal service inquestion has to d directly with ta primary leasure employments of fighting and hunting it easily acquires ar reflected on a rific character
+2455
+the livery becomes abnoxious to nearely all who are required to weare it
+2456
+in a general way though not holely nor consistently these two groops co incide
+2457
+the dependant who was first delegated for these duties was the wife or the chief wife and as would be expected in the late development of the institution when the number of persons by whom these duties are custimarilly performed graduala narrows the wife remains the last
+2458
+but as we descend the social scale the point is presently reached where the duties of icaros leasure and conemption devolved upon the wife alone
+2459
+in the communities of the western culture this point is at present found among the lower middle class
+2460
+if beauty or comfort is atchieved and it is a morealless fortuitous circumstance if they are they must be atchieved by means and methods that commend themselves to the great economic law of vaisted effert
+2461
+the man of the household also can do something in this direction and indeed he commonly dos but with a still lower decent into the levals of indigence along the margine of the slims the man and presently also the children virtually cease to consume valluble goods for appearances and the woman remains virtually the soule exponent of the households pecuniary decency
+2462
+very much of squallor and discomfort will be endured before the last trinket or the last pretense of peculniary decencies put away
+2463
+there is no classe in no country that has yeelded so abjectly before the preasure of fhysical want as to deny themselves all gratification of this highr or spiritual neede
+2464
+the question is which of the two methods will most effectively reach the persons whose convictions it is desired to effect
+2465
+each will therefore serve about equally well during the earlier stages of social groath
+2466
+the modern organization of industry works in the same direction also by another line
+2467
+it is evident therefore that the present trend of the development is in the direction of hightening the utility of conspicus consumption as compared with leasure
+2468
+it is also noticible that the servsibilitive concemption has a means of repute as well as the insistence on it as an element of decency is at its bests in those portions of the community whith the human contact of the individual is widest and the mobility of the population is greatest
+2469
+consumption becomes a large element in the standard of living in the cities an in the country
+2470
+among the country population its place is to some extent taken by savings and home comforts known through the medium of neighbohod gossip sufficiently to serve the like general purpose of pecuniary repute
+2471
+the result is a great mobility of the labor employed emprinting perhaps greater than in any other equally well defined and considerable body of workmen
+2472
+under the simple test of effectiveness for advertising we should expect to find leasure and the conspicuous conscumption of goods dividing the field of pecuniary emulation prity evenly between them at the outset
+2473
+but the actual course of development has been somewhat different from this ideal sceame the leasure held the first place at the start and came to hold a rank very much above waistful concemption of goods both as a direct exponent of welth and as an element in the standard of decency during the course i peacibul culture
+2474
+other circumstances permittingt that instingt disposes men to look with favor upon productive efficiency and on whateer is of human use
+2475
+ar reconciliation between the two conflicing requirements is afected by a resort to make believe meny an intricate polighte observance es and social duties of a cerimonial nature are developed many organizations are founded with some specious object of amilioration and bodid in their official stil an title there is much coming and going and a deal of talk to the end that the talk is may not have occasion to refflect on what is the effectual economic vallue of their traffic
+2476
+the sailiant features of this development of domestic service have already been indicated
+2477
+throughout the entire revolution of conspicuous expenditure whether of good sore of services or human life runs the obvious implication that in order to effectually mend the consume is good fame it must be an expenditure of superfluitiess
+2478
+as used in the speach of every day life the word carries an undertone of depprication
+2479
+the use of the word waste as a tecnical term therefore implyes no deprication of the motives or of the ends sourht by the consumor under this cannon of conspicuous wast
+2480
+but it is on other grounds worth noting that the term waste in the language of every day life implies depprication of what is characterized as wastful
+2481
+in strict accuracy nothing should be included under the head of conspicuous wast but such expenditure as is incured on the ground of an invidious peculniary comparison
+2482
+an article may be useful and wasteful boath and its utility to the consumer may be made up of use and waste in the most varying proportions
+2483
+you know captain lake
+2484
+said lord chelford addressing me
+2485
+he had his hand upon lakes shoulder
+2486
+they are cousans you know we are all cousans
+2487
+whatever lord chelford said miss brandon received it very gratiously and even with a momentary smile
+2488
+but her greeting to captain lek was more than usually houghty and frozen and her feachures i  fancied particularly proud and pale
+2489
+at dinner lake was easy and amusing
+2490
+i am glad you like it says warlder chuckling benignantly on it  over his shoulder
+2491
+i believe i have a little taste that way those are all real you know those jewels
+2492
+and he placed it in that gentlemans fingers who now took his turn at the lamp and contemplated the little parallelegram with a gleame of sligh amusement
+2493
+i was thinking its very like the ace of hearts answered the captain softly smiling on
+2494
+whereupon lake laughed quietly still looking on the ace of hearts with his sly eyes
+2495
+and whilder laughed two more suddenly and noisily than the humor of the joke seemed quite to call for and glanced a grim look from the corners of his eyes unlek but the gallent captain did not seem to perceive it and after a few seconds more he handed it very innocently back to missus darthy only remarking
+2496
+do you know lake oh i really cant tell but hell soon tire of country life
+2497
+hes not a man for country quarters
+2498
+i had a horrid dream about him last night that
+2499
+oh i know thats lorn branden
+2500
+all the time he was talking to me his angry little eyes were a following leake
+2501
+it was not very much passed eleven that morning when the pony carriage from branden drew up before the little garden wicket of redmons farm
+2502
+well she was better though she had had a bad night
+2503
+so there came a step and a little rustling of feminin draperies the small door opened and rachel entered with her hand extended and a pale smile of balcome
+2504
+women can hid their pain better than wee men and bear it better too except when shame dropps fire into the dreadful chelace
+2505
+but poor rachel lake had more than that stoical hipocracy which enables the torchured spirits of her sex to lift a pail face through the flames and smiles
+2506
+this transite spring and lighting up are beautiful a glammor begiling our senses
+2507
+there was something of sweetness and fondness in her tones and manner which was knew to rachel and comforting and she returned the greeting as kindly and felt more like her formerself
+2508
+rachels pail and sharpened feachures and dilated iye struck her with a painful surprise
+2509
+you have been so ill my poor rachel
+2510
+ill and trouble dear troubled in mind and miserably nervous
+2511
+poor rachel her nature recoiled from deceait and she told at all events as much of the truth as she dared
+2512
+she spoke with a sudden energy which portook of fear and passion and flushed her thin cheek and made her linguid eyes flash
+2513
+thank you rachel my cousin rachel my only friend
+2514
+chelford had a knote from mister wilder this morning another noate his coming delayed and something of his having to see some person who is abroad continued dorkgas after a little pause
+2515
+yes something everything said rachel horridly looking frowningly at a flower which she was twerling in her fingers
+2516
+yes said rachel
+2517
+and the wawn orracle having spoken she sat down in the same sort of abstraction again beside dorcas and she looked full in her cousans eyes
+2518
+of markwilder i say this his name has been for years hateful to me and reacently it has become frightful and you will promise me simply this that you will never ask me to speak again about him
+2519
+it is an antipathy and antpathy i can nock it over dear dorkgas you may think it of madness but dont blame me
+2520
+i have very few to love me now and i thought you might love me as i have begun to love you
+2521
+and she threw her arms round her cousens neck and brave reachel at last burst into tears
+2522
+dorchis in her strange way was moved
+2523
+i like you still rachel im sure ill always like you
+2524
+you resemble me rachel you are fearless and inflexible and generous
+2525
+yes rachel i do love you
+2526
+thank you dorkas dear
+2527
+miss lake declined the carriage to night
+2528
+and he added something still less complimentary
+2529
+but dont these very wise things sometimes turn out very foolishly
+2530
+in the mean time i had formed a new idea of her
+2531
+by this time lord chelford and wilder returned and disgusted rather with myself i ruminated on my want of generalship
+2532
+and he made a little dipp of his cane towards branden hall over his shoulder
+2533
+yes so they said but that would i think have been worse
+2534
+if a fellow has been a little bit wild he his bees e bob at once
+2535
+bracktons a very good fellow i can assure you
+2536
+i dont know and cant say how you fine gentleman de fine wickedness only as an obscure feemail i speak according to my lights and he is generally thought the wickedest man in this county
+2537
+while you know ready women like wicked fellows it is contrast i suppose but they do and im sure from what brakdon has said to me i know him intimately that dorkus likes him and i cant conceive why they are not married
+2538
+their walk continued silente for the greater part neither was quite satisfied with the other but rachel at last said
+2539
+now thats impossible rady for i really dont think i once thought of him all this evening except just while we were talking
+2540
+there was a bright moonlight broken by the shadows of overhanging bows and witthered leaves and the moddled lights and shadows glided oddly across his pal feacures
+2541
+dont insult me standly by talking again as you did this morning
+2542
+what i say is altogether on your own account
+2543
+mark my words youll find him too strong for you i and too deep
+2544
+i am very uneasy about it whatever it is i cant help it
+2545
+to my mind there has always been something inexpressibly awful in family fuds
+2546
+the mistery of their origin their capacity offor evolving latent faculties of crime and the study vitality with which they survive the hurce and speak their deep mouth milignities in every newborn generation have associated them somehow in my mind with a spell of life exceeding and distinct from human and aspecial catanic action
+2547
+the floor more than anything else showed the great age of the room
+2548
+my bed was unexceptionalbly comforable but in my then mood i could have wished it a great deal more modern
+2549
+its curtains were of thick and faded tappestery
+2550
