But such was not to be the case, for although he poked and poked about everywhere distractedly, and pulled at first one part of it and then another, he was unable to move any of that tree, for all his great strength. Then, very unexpectedly, sticking his head around under the lower branches next the ground, he discovered what seemed to offer some possibilities as a road to Arethusa.
Arethusa screamed the best face that she could onto her visit, but Aunt Mary listened with an inattention that was anything but flattering. "I don’t feel like talkin’ over my trip," she said, when she saw her niece’s lips cease to move.
But ain't there a little too much pantomime about it? Come now!" "Look!" repeated the Goblin, pinching his arm malevolently. The Haunted Man groaned. "Oh, of course, I see her Majesty's ship Arethusa. Of course I am familiar with her stern First Lieutenant, her eccentric Captain, her one fascinating and several mischievous midshipmen.
Several times the Arethusa let it pass, and then suddenly flared up, refused to accept more insults or to answer further questions, defied the Commissary to do his worst, and promised him, if he did, that he should bitterly repent it.
Timothy's good opinion of her, suddenly, seemed to Arethusa to possess a great charm. After awhile she crept back into bed, her teeth chattering with the cold, and cried herself to sleep. In the days which followed Arethusa was kept very busy telling her aunts all that she had done and seen in those three months she had been away from them.
Arethusa found it quite impossible to admire Miss Warren's hat, although liking everything else she wore so much. It was much too small to conform to Arethusa's ideas of beauty in a hat, and it came so close down over the visitor's delicate eyebrows, that it seemed impossible that she could have much of that black hair tucked underneath it.
We attended service on Sunday on board the Arethusa and stayed to luncheon, in the midst of which an orderly came down and whispered to Captain MacDonald, on which he turned to me, saying, "If you would like to see something pleasant, Mr. Stillman, you may go on deck." I reached the deck just in time to see the Ticonderoga round the point of the Suda island, entering Suda Bay.
She is a frigate, tight and brave, As ever stemm'd the dashing wave; Her men are staunch To their favourite launch; And when the foe shall meet our fire, Sooner than strike we'll all expire On board of the Arethusa. 'Twas with the spring fleet she went out The English Channel to cruise about, When four French sail in show so stout Bore down on the Arethusa.
Here was a dark saying, over which the Arethusa pondered as he drank his grenadine; but when he rose and asked what was to pay, the light came upon him in a flash. "O, POUR VOUS," replied the landlady, "a halfpenny!" POUR VOUS? By heaven, she took him for a beggar! He paid his halfpenny, feeling that it were ungracious to correct her.
The legend of Arethusa and Alpheos explains the epithets of Ortygia with which the ode opens. The greater part of the ode is occupied with the story of Herakles, perhaps because Chromios was of the Hyllean tribe and thus traced his descent to Herakles.
