A clock is an overrated piece of furniture, to my mind, Mrs. Beresford, ma'am. A man can ate whin he's hungry, go to bed whin he's sleepy, and get up whin he's slept long enough; for faith and it's thim clocks he has inside of himself that don't need anny winding!" "What if you had a business appointment with a man in the town, and missed the train?" I persevered.
The situation on both sides of the ocean was now an extraordinary one. Just as the junta in Spain had no legal right to govern, so the officials in the colonies, holding their posts by appointment from a deposed king, had no legal authority, and the people would not allow them to accept new commissions from a usurper.
His thoughts had hardly left the subject since the hour of his talk with Rose, and it was especially absorbing on the day on which Molly was to give a party, to which he was invited and invited to meet royalty. He decided that he must that evening ask his hostess to give him an appointment for a private talk. Edmund arrived late at Westmoreland House when the party was in full swing.

The embassy to France was certainly the most important commission, with which a minister from Sweden could be charged: Oxenstiern's appointment of Grotius to it, demonstrated the minister's high opinion of him. Some time in July 1634, he declared Grotius councillor to the Queen of Sweden, and her ambassador to the court of France.
When his friend and instructor thought him sufficiently competent to undertake the teaching of others, an appointment, advertised as vacant, was applied for and obtained; and behold our artisan at length become professor!
"Well, so I have, part of the way," gasped the other; "and it's quite some distance out to the Rookery, you must remember." "What's that?" exclaimed Hugh; "do you mean to say your appointment was with Owen Dugdale after all?" "Shucks! no, but with his old grandfather," snickered Thad. "Owen's gone off for the afternoon with Mr.
Now and again he consulted his watch, as one might with an important appointment to keep. At two minutes to four he left his stateroom, and as the first stroke of eight bells rang out in one of the measured intervals between blasts of the whistle ending the afternoon watch, he stepped out on deck, and paused for a survey of the weather conditions.
