He was with us, in that awkward affair of Braddock's; and between you and me, Wilhelmina, he covered the regulars, or we should all have laid our bones on that accursed field. I wrote you at the time, what I thought of him, and now you see it is all coming to pass."

"Go and get a drink. You need it after all this." "Thank you, sir." "Don't mention it. You've saved our lives. Suppose you hadn't come up and told us, and we had never noticed there was a fire! Charred bones, believed to be those of a man and a woman, were found in the ruined edifice!" He turned to Jill. "Here's the stage-door. Shall we creep sombrely out into the night?"

The surgeon could find no wound on the face, and it was plain that there was nothing more terrible about the head than the nosebleed. "Where are you hurt, Little?" asked the doctor. "In the hip; it's broke!" replied the sufferer with an explosive groan. Dr. Winstock laid the patient down upon the deck, and proceeded to examine him with the greatest care.

What's to become of us? Are we cliff-dwellers? We're alone here. I'm happy when I don't think. These these bones that fly into dust they make me sick and a little afraid. Did the people who lived here once have the same feelings as we have? What was the good of their living at all? They're gone! What's the meaning of it all of us?" "Bess, you ask more than I can tell.

"I was at the Club: but it wasn't on the colors I played ask the captain I've been telling him of it. It was with the bones. It was at hazard, Sir Francis, upon my word and honor it was;" and he looked at the baronet with a knowing, humorous mock humility, which only seemed to make the other more angry.

"Now," said David smiling, "here is now thy high house and thy castle, little King Christopher; how doth it like thee?" "Right well," said Christopher; "and, to say sooth, I would almost that it were night, or my bones do else, that I might lie naked in a bed." "Nay, lad," said Gilbert, "make it night now, and we will do all that needs must be done, while thou liest lazy, as all kings use to do."

Such energy is indicated by the large nose, high in the bridge, which admits large quantities of oxygen into the lungs; by high cheek bones, oftentimes by a head wide just above the ears, by square hands and square-tipped fingers, by hard or elastic consistency of fibre. Persistence and patience are indicated by brunette coloring and plodding by a well-developed and rather prominent jaw and chin.

Holland had grown fat and strong, while the obedient Netherlands were withered to the marrow of their bones.

Yet this man the world calls a soldier and you, my lord, select him as worthy of the honours of chivalry, if such they can at this day be termed. You have made the collar of knighthood the decoration of a mere bloodhound." "What could I do?" said Montrose. "I had no half-picked bones to give him, and bribed in some manner he must be, I cannot follow the chase alone.

Take two or three calf's feet, and boil them as you would do for eating, take out the long bones, shred them very fine, put to them double their weight of beef-suet shred fine, and about a pound of currans well cleaned, a quarter of a pound of candid orange and citron cut in small pieces, half a pound of sugar, a little salt, a quarter of an ounce of mace and a large nutmeg, beat them together, put in a little juice of lemon or verjuice to your taste, a glass of mountain wine or sack, which you please, so mix all together; bake them in puff-paste.
