He had been introduced to Walsh by another man of letters, whose acquaintance he must have made during one of his brief excursions to London, the whilom dramatist Wycherley now a broken septuagenarian, but still retaining a sort of bankrupt bel air. To Wycherley, who could not tear himself from his favorite St.
If there is anything in this story that you cannot credit, if you cannot believe in such a relation, and such a friendship, and such a mutual service, as Asenath Scherman's and Bel Bree's, if you cannot believe that Bel Bree may at this moment be ironing Mrs.
That perhaps is the greatest. Amon, originally an obscure provincial god of Thebes, became the supreme divinity of Egypt. Bel, originally a local god of Nippur, became in Babylon Lord of Hosts.

"O, it is so warm, Auntie! We can't have everything shut up!" And with this swift excuse instantly suggesting itself and making justification to her deceitful little heart that lay in wait for it, Bel sprang to the opposite corner where the doorway opened full toward her, diagonally commanding the room. She set it hastily just a hand's length ajar.
The stars, their likeness, he set up as constellations. He fixed the year and marked the divisions. The twelve months he divided among three stars. So that there might be no deviation nor wandering away from the course He established with him, the stations of Bel and Ea. An epitome of the astronomical science of the Babylonians is comprised in these lines.
The chairs are made in imitation of a baker's basket, turned bottom upwards and painted red.
