This was amusingly the case, for instance, with one phrase in the popular camp-song of "Marching Along," which was entirely new to them until our quartermaster taught it to them, at my request. The words, "Gird on the armor," were to them a stumbling-block, and no wonder, until some ingenious ear substituted, "Guide on de army," which was at once accepted, and became universal.
He does not mention Malthus, but speaks of the belief as universally admitted, and afterwards illustrates it amusingly by saying that, in his ploughboy days, he used to wonder that there was always just enough hay for the horses and enough horses for the hay. David Ricardo, born 19th April 1772, was the son of a Dutch Jew who had settled in England, and made money upon the Stock Exchange.
Yet though to Vanderbank he couldn't look young he came near strikingly and amusingly looking new: this after a minute appeared mainly perhaps indeed in the perfection of his evening dress and the special smartness of the sleeveless overcoat he had evidently had made to wear with it and might even actually be wearing for the first time. He had talked to Vanderbank at Mrs.
There was a particular smile for her into which much might be read; there was a tenderness manifested toward her which communicated itself to the students, who were proud to win her favor and were forever seeking little excuses for bandying words with her when they met. The tradition of Professor Kelton's scholarship had descended to Sylvia amusingly.
Departure of the staff for the field An amusingly quick return Changes in my own duties Expeditions to occupy the enemy Sanders' raid into East Tennessee His route His success and return The Confederate Morgan's raid His instructions His reputation as a soldier Compared with Forrest Morgan's start delayed His appearance at Green River, Ky.
"How?" "To be worth teasing." Here they moved slightly away, turning their backs toward me and unfortunately I could hear no more. And so I sat listening to the group around Marcia, who was again enthroned at the tea-table. I had not met the men, but they were of the usual man-about-town type, "Marcia's ex-es" somebody, I think the mannish Carew girl, amusingly called them.
However, we know what Heine wrote in his wife's album; and there is, after all, one passage that may be held to intimate some tenderness, although even that admits of an amusingly opposite construction. "I think," he says, "I THINK this be the first letter I ever wrote to you."
He fats prize-labourers, sir, just as Lord Minchampstead fats prize- oxen and pigs. Lancelot could not help thinking of that amusingly inconsistent, however well-meant, scene in Coningsby, in which Mr.
The "plain people," as he called them, were his University; the Bible and John Bunyan were his earliest text-books. Sometimes his familiarity with the Scriptures came out very amusingly as when a deputation of bankers called on him, to negotiate for a loan to the Government, and one of them said to him: "You know, Mr. President, where the treasure is, there will the heart be also."
Was he not the son of genteel parents living in the North of Ireland, and did he not receive a polite education at the University in Dublin? So polite, indeed, has his training been that he is already the author of that wonderful "Love and a Bottle," a comedy wherein he amusingly holds the mirror up to English vices, including his own.
