Work the men through their wives, and mistresses, and daughters. It isn't much understood yet; but it is a great idea." "Why don't you go to Congress?" asked Abel, suddenly. "It isn't for my interest," answered the General. "I make more by staying out." "How many members are there for Belch?" continued Abel. The General did not quite like the question, nor the tone in which it was asked.
"Mother's going to be scared for me," he mused, as he rearranged his bed of boughs. "She'll think I'm lost, and I'm sorry. She'll be all right when I get home, though. It is a fine mess to get into." Then his thoughts turned to Abel Zachariah and Skipper Ed and Jimmy, somewhere out on the coast and weathering the same storm.
It is hardly possible that the illustration on seal cylinders mentioned by Ward, ib. pp. 13, 14, represents the Zu bird brought before a deity for punishment; and certainly not before Shamash, who only enters into the story in so far as Marduk is a solar deity. Published by Winckler and Abel, Der Thontafelfund von El-Amarna, iii. 166a, b; translated also by Harper, ib. pp. 420, 421.
And you'll grow up to understand these things and see what should be yours taken from you and given to other people." "When I grow up, I'll have it out with him," said Abel. "No, you won't. Because he's strong and you're weak. You're weak and poor and nobody, with no father to fight for you and give you a show in the world.
I do not think, however, that it can have occurred to Abel that I was in the room. Nor that any of the others were there, intent on the pretty things of Miss Clementina's trunk. But, his face shining, he went straight to Delia More; and he laid my roses in her arms, looking at her the while with a look which was like a passionate recognition of one not met for many years.
And, like Abel, she paused so long that the hunchback pressed impatiently to look over her shoulder. But the letter was written in a foreign language, and the Cheap Jack and his wife were no wiser for it than the miller's man. Midsummer came, and the Dame's school broke up for the holidays. Jan had longed for them intensely.
"To be sure, to be sure," replied old Adam, nodding cheerfully at the fire, "I ain't all I once was except in the matter or corn-shuckin' an' a cold-snap like this goes clean to the bones when they ain't covered." "Did you carry any of yo' winesaps into Applegate, Abel?" inquired Jim Halloween. "I'm savin' mine till Christmas, when the prices will take a jump." "No, I only drove Blossom over.

Beyond that was a little grove of old thick-topped pine-trees; beyond that the little woodland pond. It was very shallow in places, but it never dried up, and was said to have deep holes in it. The boys told darkly braggart stories about this pond.
After this night I dare not hinder you. Go with my blessing, and may God guide and keep you, and make you strong to do His work and tell His message to humanity in you own appointed way. It is not the way I desired for you but I see that I was mistaken. Old Abel spoke truly when he said there was a Christ in your violin as well as a devil. I understand what he meant now."
And thus it was from the beginning: Abel did his first services to God from this principle of righteousness; but Cain would have been made righteous by his deed; but his deed not flowing from the same root of goodness, as did Abel's, notwithstanding he did it with the very best he had, is yet called evil: For he wanted, I say, the principles, to wit, of grace and faith, without which no action can be counted good in a gospel sense.
