concord returned to its place amidst the tenths
1
the english fowrded to the french baskets of flowers of which they had made a plentipul provision to greaet the arrival of the young princess the french in return invited the english to a supper which was to be given the next day
2
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
4
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
5
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
6
this has indeed been a harrassing day continued the young man his eyes fixed upon his friend
7
you will be frank with me i always am
8
can you imagine why buckingham has been so violent i suspect
9
it is you who are mistaken rale i have read his distress in his eyes in his every jesture and action the whole day
10
i can perceive love clearly enough
11
i am convinsed of what i say said the count
12
it is annoyance then
13
in those very terms i even added more
14
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
15
thus it is that the honor of three is saved our country our masters and our own
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
17
but in this friendly preassure rawl could detect the nervous agitation of a great internal conflict
18
the night was clear starlet and splendied the tempest had passed away and the sweet influences of the evening had restored life peace and security everywhere
19
upon the large square in front of the hotel the shadows of the tenths intercected by the golden moon beams formed as it were a huge mosayic of get and yellow flagstones
20
bragolon watched for some time the conduct of the two lovers listened to the loud and uncivil slumbers of maneccamp who snored as imperiusly as though he was wearing his blue and gold instead of his violete suit
21
golieth makes another discovery
22
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
254
they seem to be we are lost but i am not sure
255
he knodds his concent
256
the firball half of it white half asure blue and the side of a ten inch shell moved slowly about the raft but revolving on its own access with astonishing velocity as if whipped round by the force of the wirlwind
257
here it comes there it glides now it is up the raged stump of the mast thence it lightly leaps on the provision bag descends with a light bound and just sckims the pouder magazine horrible
258
we shall be blowne up but no the dasling diske of misterious light nimbly leaps aside t approaches hans who fixes his blue ye upon it steadily it threatens the head of my uncle who falls upon his nes with his head down to avoid it
259
a suffocating smell of nightregen fills the air it enters the throate it fills the lungs
260
we suffer stifeling paigns
261
the bulgist legislature numbered thirty six members
262
this was at the march election eighteen fifty five
263
that summers imigration however being manly from the free states greatly changed the relative strengths of the two parties
264

her tong was not less kean than her eye and whenever a damsol came within earshot seemed to take up an unfinished luxure as a beril organ takes up a tune precisely at the point where it had left off

you will say that a woman has no need of such a caution there can be no peril in it for her
382
the more she is engaged in her proper duties the last leasure will she have for it even as an accomplishment and a recreation
383
to those duties you have not yet been called and when you are you will be less eager for celeberity
384
but do not suppose that i disparrage the gift which you possess nor that i would discourage you from exersising it i only exort you so to think of it and so to use it as to render it condusive to your own permanent good

389
i know the first letter i roate to you is all senselss trash from beginning to end but i am not altogether the idle dreaming being it would seem to denote
390
i thought it therefore my duty when i left schol to become a governas
391
in the evenings i confess i do think but i never trouble anyone else with my thoughts
392
i carefully avoid any appearance of preoccupation and excentricity which might lead those i live amongt to suspect the nature of my pursuits
393
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
394
again i thank you this incident i suppose will be renewed no more if i lived to be an old woman i shall remember it thirty years hence as a bright dream

saturday after saturday comes around and i can have no hope of hearing your nock at the door and then being told that misse is come oh dear
403
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
406
if christian perfection be necessary to salvation i shall never be saved my heart is a very hot bed for sinful thoughts and when i decide on an action i scarcely remember to look to my redeamor for  direction

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
409
indeed there were only one or two strangers who could be admitted among the sisters without producing the same result
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
415
a good neighbour of the brontes a clever intelligent yourxher woman who keeps a druggus shop in hhaworth from her occupation her experience an excellent sense holds the position of village doctrus and nerse and as such has been a friend in many a time of trial and sickness and death in the households round told me a characteristic little incident connected with tabbis fractured leg
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 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

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

this is the explanation of the shallows which are found in that part of the atlantic osion
541
but i would not speak at the time because i wanted to refresh my memory
542
then now let me explain to you the order of our entertainment first timeus who is a natural fhilosofher will speak of the origin of the world going down to the creation of men and then i shall receive the men whom he has created and some of whom will have been educated by you and introduce them to you as the lost othenian citizans of whom the egiptian record spoke
543
this was what did the mischief so far as the running away was concerned

a few years back one of their slaves a coachman was kept on the coach boxe one cold night when they were out at a bale until he became almost frosen to death in fact he did die in the infermory from the effects of the frost about one week afterwards
549
the doctor who attended the injird creature in this case was simply told that she slipped and fell down the stairs as she was coming down
550
another case said john westly was a little girl half growne who was watching windows up stairs one day and unluckily fell asleep in the window and in this position was found by her mistress in a rage the mistress hit her a heavy slap nocked her out of the window and she fell to the pavement and died in a few hours from the effects there of

three seconds before the arrival of jay bee hobsons letter i know more dreamed of chacing the unicorn than of trying for the northwest passage
580
even so i had just returned from an arduous journey exausted and badly needing a rest
581
i wanted nothing more than to see my country again my friends my modest quarters by the butanical gardens my dearly beloved collections
582
but now nothing could hold me back
583
conse was my mans servant
584
from rubbing sholders with cientists in our little universe by the bitanical gardens the boy had come to know a thing or two
585
classifying was everything to him so he knew nothing else well versed in the theory of classification he was poorly versed in its practical application and i doubt that he could tell a sperm whaile from a baline wale
586
and yet whate a fine gallant lad
587
not once did he comment on the length or the hardships of the journey
588
never did he object to buckling up his suitcase for any country what ever china or the congo no matter how far off it was
589
he went here there and everywhere in perfect contentment
590
please forgive me for this underhanded way of admitting that i had turned forty
591
he was a fanatic on formality and he only addressed me in the third person to the point where it got tighersome
592
there was good reason to stop and think even for the worlds most emotionless man
593
conse i called a third time conse appeared

we have a commander whose game for anything
605
i left instructions for shipping my containers of stuffed animals and dried plants to paris francee
606
i opened a line of credit sufficient to cover the barbarusa and consey at my heels i jumpet into a carriage
607
our baggage was immediately carried to the deck of the frigete i rushed abard
608
i asked for commander ferrigute
609
one of the sailers led me to the after deck where i stood in the presence of a smart looking officer who extended his hand to me
610
in person welcome a boyed professor your cabin is waiting for you
611
i was well satisfied with my cabin which was located in the stern and opened into the officers messe
612
well be quite comfrtable here i told conse
613
and so if i had been delayed by a quarter of an hour or even less the friget would have gone without me and i would have missed out on this unearthly extraordinary and inconceivable expedition whose true story might well meat with some scepticism

the anallisis of nowledge will occupy us until the end of the thirteenth lecture and is the most difficult part of our whole enterprise
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
661
he is a wellcome figure at the garden parties of the ellect who were always ready to encourage him by axcepting free seats for his play actor mannagers knodd to him editors allow him to contribute without charge to ha simposium on the price of gulfballs
662
in short he becoms a prominent figure in london society and if he is not careful somebody will say so
663
but even the unsuccesfal drawmatist has his moments
664
your play must be not merely a good play but a successful one
665
frankly i cannot always say
666
but suppose you said i m fond of righting my people always say my letters home are good enough for punch
667
i have got a little idea for a play about a man and a woman and another woman and but perhaps id better keep the plot a secret for the moment
668
anyhow its jally exciting and ikendo the dialog all right
669
lind me your ear for ten minutes and you shall learn just what stage chraft is
670
and i shull beginn with a short hamaly on salitleque
671
him to be or not to be
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
680
i want double nine hallode
681
double nine two three alsenor double not yes hello is that you heracio hamlet speaking
682
i say ive been wondering about this busness
683
do be  or not t be that is the question whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows what no hamlet speaking
684
you gave me double five i want double nine hello is that you horacio hamlet speaking
685
to be or not to be that is the question whether tis nobler
686
it is to let hemlet if that happened to be the name of your character anter with a small dog pet falkan mongus tamber whatever animal is most in keeping with the part and confide in this animal such sorrows hopes or secret history as the audiante has got to know

and novals the herow has often pushed his meels away untasted but no steede hura would do anything so unnatural as this

two bits are made and the breat is crombod with an air of great eagerness indeed one feels that in real life the guest would clutch hold of the fotman and say half amold chap i havent nearly finished but the actor is better scool than this
705
but it is the cigaret which chiefly has brought the modern drawma to its present state of perfection
706
lord john taking out gold cigaret case from his left hand upper wastcoast pocket
707
all about him was a tomult of bright and broken colour scattered in broad splashes
708
the mergancer had a crusted head of eardessent green black a broad color of lustrous white black back black and white wings white belly sides finally penceled in black and white and a brest of rich chesstnaut red streeked with black
709
his feet were read his long narrow beake with its salltoothed edges and sharp hooked tip was bright red
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
731
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
733
the drag upon his beak and the light check upon his wings were inexplicable to him and up halling
734
then the leader parted from the lin

the honourable charles smith miss seras brother was walking swiftly up town from mister easterlys wallstreet office and his face was pale

she was not herself a notably intelligent woman she greatly admired intelligence or whatever looked to her like intelligence ind others
739
as she awaited her gesst she servaiyed the table with both satisfaction and dis quietude for her social functions were few to night there were she checked them off on her fingers sir james crighten the rich english manufacturer and lady crihten mister and missus vanderpool mister harry creswell and his sister john taler and his sister and mister charles smithwhom the evening papers menthioned as likely to be united states senitor from new jersy a selection of guesst that hd ben determined unknown to the hostes by the meating of coten interessts earlier in the dayy
740
missus gray had met sutherners before but not intimately and she always had in mind vivitely their cruelty to poor negros a subject she made a point of introducing forth with
741
she was therefore most agreeably surprised to hear mister cresswill express himself so cordially as approving of negro education
742
do you believe in some education asked marry tailer
743
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

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

752
john tailer who had supported her through cotlage was interested in cotten

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

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
868
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
869
prescribed by the civil and eclesiastical powers of the empir the donatist still maintained in some provinces particularly inte midia theire superior numbers and four hundred biships acnowledged the jurisdiction of their primate
870
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
894
ne ome shook her fourfinger reproachefully at them as if the two stirty young farmers had been two children
895
siles slunk away without a word of protest ambro stood his ground evidently bent on making his piece with na ome before he left her seing that i was in the way i walked aside toward a glass door at the lower end of the room
896
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
by the hemmer athore shouted grhim there is no stingy cower
947
here friend take it and he thrust it into the farmers hand
948
may you drink hartseese from it for many years
949
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
1469
chapter one origin
1470
it engenders a whole world lapegr for which red theft and a heal la pegren for which red hunger
1471
thus idalnesses the mother
1472
she has a son theft and a daughter hunger
1473
what is slang
1474
we have never understood this sort of objections
1475
slang is odious
1476
slang makes one shudter
1477
who denyes that of course it dos
1478
when it is a question of probing a wound a goulf a society since when has it been considered rong to go too far to go to the bottom
1479
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
1481
why should one halt on the way
1482
nothing is more ligubrious than the contemplation thus in its nudity in the broad light of thought of the horrible swarming of slang
1483
now when has horror ever excluded study
1484
since when has malady banished medicin
1485
can one imagine a naturallist refusing to study the viper the bad the scorpion the sentepide the turanchulla and one who would cast them back into their darkness saying oh how ugly that is
1486
he would be like a fhilologist refusing to examin a fact in language a filosoher hesitating to scrutinige a fact in humanity
1487
what is slang properly speaking
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
1490
the painter who says my grinder the notory who says my skipp the gutter the hairdresser who says my meally back the cobler who says my cub talks slang
1491
there is the slang of the affected lady as well as of the pressusers
1492
the shooger manufacturer who says lof clarified lumps basturd common burnt this honest manufacturer talks slang
1493
aljebra medicin bauteni have eached their slang
1494
to meet the needs of this conflict rechidness has invented a language of combat which is slayng
1495
to keep a float and to rescue from oblivion to hold above the goulf where it but a fragment of some language which man has spoken and which would otherwise be lost that is to say one of the elements good or bad of which civilization is composed or by which it is complicated to extend the records of social observation is to serve civilijation itself
1496
fenitian very good
1497
even diallect let that pass
1498
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
1501
he must descend with his heart full of charity and severity at the same time as a brother and as e judge to those impenetrable casemates where crawle pelmell those who blead in those who deal the blow those who weap and those who curse those who fast in those who devour those wwho endore evil and those who inflict it
1502
do we really know the mountan well when we are not acquainted with the cavern
1503
they constitute two different orders of facts which correspond to each other which are always interlaced and which often bring forth results
1504
true history being a mixture of all things the true historian mingles in everything
1505
facts form one of these and iteas the other
1506
there it clothes itself in word maskes in metofore rags
1507
in this giyse it becomes horrible
1508
one perceives without understanding it a hitious murmur sounding almost like human accents but more nearly resembling a howel than an articulate word
1509
one thinks one hears hidres talking
1510
it is unintelligible in the dark
1511
it is black an misfortune it is black er still ind crime these two blacknesses amalgomated composed slang
1512
the earth is not devoid of resemblance to a jal
1513
look closely at life
1514
it is so made that everywhere we feel the sense of punishment
1515
each day has its own great gree for its little care
1516
yesterday you were trembling for a health that is deare to you to day you fear for your own to morrow it will be angiety about money the day after to morrow the di tribe of a slanderer the day after that the misfortune of some friend then the prevailing weather then something that has been broken or lost then a pleasure with which your concience senour virdebral colum reproache you again the course of public affairs
1517
this without reckoning in the pains of the heart and so itgos on
1518
there is hardly one day out of a hundred which is wholly joyous and sony
1519
and you belong to that small clas you are happy
1520
in this world evidently the vestibule of another there are no fortunate
1521
the real human division is this the luminous and the shady
1522
to deminish the number of the shadey to ogment the number of the luminus that is the object
1523
that is why we cry education ciencs
1524
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
1704
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
1710
the university
1711
bride after satisfaction up lifted him like long slow waves
1712
whose feet are as the feet of hearts and underneath the everlasting arms
1713
the pride of that dim image brought back to his mind the dignity of the office he had refused
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
1722
words was it their collours
1723
they were voyaging across the deserts of the sky a hoaste of nomads on the march voyaging high over ireland westward bound
1724
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
1726
a voice from beyond the world was calling
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
1729
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
he hoped there would be sto for dinner turnipps and carrets and brused potatos and fat mutten pieces to be ladled out in thick pepperd flower fattaned saus
1734
stuffit into you his belly counceled him
1735
after early night fall the yellow lamps would light up here and there the squalled quarter of the brothels
1736
hallow berty anny good in your mind
1737
number ten fresh nelly is waiting on you good night husband
1738
the music came nearer and he recalled the words the words of shelleys fragment upon the moon wandering companionless pal for weariness
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
1744
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
1745
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
1749
then yu can ask him questions on the catacism deadles
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
1753
if a man had stolen a pound in his youth and had used that pound to a mass a huge fortune how much was he obliged to give back the pound he had stolen only or the pound together with the compound interest a croewing upon it or all his huge fortune
1754
if a laymon in giving baptism poor the water before saying the words is the child baptized
1755
how comes it that while the first beattitude promises the kingdom of heaven to the poor of heart the second beattitude promises also to the meak that they shall possess the land
1756
why wouls the sacrement of the yucorist instituted under the two species of bread and wine if jesus crist be preasent body and blod soul and divinity in the bread alone and in the wine alone
1757
if the wine change into viniger and the host crumble into corruption after they have been consecrated is jesus crist still present under their species as god and as man
1758
a gentle kick from the tall boy in the bench behind urged steeven to ask a difficult question
1759
the rector did not ask for a catacism to hear the lessen from
1760
he clasped his hands on the desk and said
1761
the retreaet weill begin on wensday after noon in honnour of saint francis savier whose feast day is saturdayy
1762
on friday confession will be heard all the afternoon after beads
1763
beware of making that mistake
1764
steavens heart began slowly to fo and fade with fear like a whithering flower
1765
he is called as you know the appossal of the indies
1766
a great saint saint francis savier
1767
the rector paused and then shaking his clasped hands before him went on
1768
he had the faith in him that moves mountains
1769
a great saint saint francis savier
1770
in the silence their dark fire kindled the dusk into a tawny glow
1771
you will find me continually speaking of four men tichon holbine turner and tintaret in almost the same terms
1772
they unight every quality and sometimes you will find me referin to them as colorists sometimes as kiaroscurists
1773
by being studious of colour they are studious of division and while the cure oscureis devoates himself to the representation of degrees of force in one thing unseparated light the collorists have for their function the attainement of beauty by arrangement of the divisions of light
1774
my first and principal reason was that they enfourced beyond all resistence on any student who might attempt to copy them this method of laying portions of distinct hew side by side
1775
some of the tuch is indeed when the tint has been mixed with much water have been laide in little drops or ponds so that the pigment might christalize hard at the edge
1776
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
2219
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

2352
we never had so many of them in here before
2353

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

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

2380
and ho never used to be crosse to me
2381

2382

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
all the furniture belonged to other times
2551
i shant trouble you about my train of thoughts or fancies but i began to feel very like a gentleman in agote story watching experimentally in a haunted chamber
2552
i did not even take the precaution of smoking up the chimney
2553
i boldly lighted my cherute
2554
a cold bright moon was shining with clear sharp lights and shadows
2555
the somber old trees like gigantic hurst plums black and awful
2556
somehow i had grown nervous
2557
a little bit of plaster tumbled down the chimney and startled me confoundedly
2558
also a popular contrivance whereby love making may be suspended but not stopped during the piknick ceason
2559
hurrang the tiresome product of a tireless tong
2560

2562

2573
you are my all the world and i must strive to know my shames and prazes from your tong none else to me nor i to none alive that my steale sense or changes right or rong
2574
oh tis the first ts flattery in my seing and my great mind most kingly drinks it up mine ey well knowws what with his gust is greang and to his palat douth prepare the cup if it be poisoned tis the lesser sin that mine eye loves it and douth first begin
2575
but reckoning time whose milliond accidentes creep in twixt vows and changed decres of kings tans sacred beauty blunt the sharpest intence divert strong minds to the course of altering things allas why fearing of times tirony might i not then say now i love you best when i was certain or uncertainty crowning the present douting of the rest
2576
love is a babe then might i not say so to give full groth to that which still doth grow
2577
so i return rebuked to my content and gaine by ill thrice more than i have spent
2578
it was this observation that drew from duglas not immediately but later in the evening a reply that had the interesting consequence to which i call attention
2579
some one else told a story not particularly effective which i saw he was not following
2580
cried one of the women he took no notice of her he looked at me but as iff instead of me he saw what he spoke of
2581
there was a unanimous grone at this and much reproache after which in his preoccupied way he explained
2582
the storys ritten
2583
i could right to my man and enclose the key he could send down the packet as he finds it
2584
the others resented posponement but it was just as scruples that charmed me
2585
to this his answer was prompt oh thankt god know and is the reccord yours
2586
he hung fire again a womans
2587
she has been dead these twenty years
2588
she sent me the pages ind question before she died
2589
she was the most agreeable woman i hve ever known in her position she would have ben worthy of any whatever
2590
it wasnt simply that she said so but that i knew she hadent i was sure i could see
2591
yowill easily judge wy when you heare because the thing had been such a scare he continued to fixe me
2592
you are accute
2593
he quitted the fire and dropped back into his chair
2594
probably not til the second post
2595
it was almost the tone of hope everybody will stay
2596
cried the ladies whose departure had been fixed
2597
missus griffin however expressed the neede for a little more light
2598
who was it she was in love with the story will tell i took upon myself to reply oh i cant wait for the story the story wont tell said duglis not in any litteral vulgarway more is the pity then
2599
wont you tell duglass
2600
well if i dont know who she was in love with i know who he was
2601
let me say here distinctly to have done with it that this narrative from an exact transcript of my own made much later is what i shall presently give
2602
poor duglass before his death when it was in sight committed to me the manuscript that reached him on the third of these days and that on the same spot with immense effect he began to read to our hushed little circle on the night of the fourth
2603
the departing ladies who had said they would stay didnt of course thank heaven stay they departed in consequence of arrangements made in a rage of curiosity as they professed produced by the touches with which he had already worked us up
2604
the first of these touches conveyed that the ritten statement took up the tal at a point after it had in a manner begun
2605
he had for his own town residence a big house filled with the spoils of travel and the trofhies of the chace but it was to his country home an old family place in essex that he wished her immediately to proceed
2606
the aukwarde thing was that they had practically no other relations and that his own affairs took up all this time
2607
there were plenty of people to help but of course the young lady who should go down as governass would be in supreme authority
2608
i dont anticipate
2609
she was young untried nervous it was a vision of serious duties and little company of really great loneliness
2610
yes but thats just the beauty of her passion
2611
it was the beauty of it
2612
it sounded doule that sounded strange and all the more so because of his main condition which was
2613
she promised to do this and she mentioned to me that when for a moment disburdened delighted he held her hand thanking her for the saccrifice she already felt rewarded
2614
but was that all her reward one of the ladies asked
2615
those pritty rongs that liberty commits when i am some time absent from thy heart thy beauty and thy years full well befits for still temtation followes where thou art
2616
i me
2617
no matter then although my foot did stand upon the farthest earth removed from thee for nimble thought can jump both sea and land as soon as think the place where he would be but ah
2618
thought kills me that i am not thought to leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone but that so much of earth and water rought i must attend times leasure with my mone receiving not by elements so slow but heavy tears bages of ithers wo
2619
my heart douth plead that thou in him dost liye a closit never pearced with cristal eyes but the defendent doth that ple denye and says in him thy fair apparance liyes
