It is yellow, with a reddish bloom, something like a magnum bonum plum, three times magnified. The only way of eating it in comfort is to have a tub of water beside you. It should be eaten in private by any one who wants to retain the admiration of his friends. It has an immense stone, and a disproportionately small pulp. I think it tastes strongly of turpentine at first, but this is a heresy.
"Very well, then," Dick resumed; "that being the case, the next question is: Where am I to go, and what am I to do, in order to earn enough money to maintain myself and my mother in the meantime, and eventually to restore her to that position of security of which she was robbed by that rascal Cuthbertson?" "De mortuis nil nisi bonum!" reproved Humphreys gravely.
She felt herself too in need of time to pray for right judgment and steadfast purpose, and that the change might so work with her sons that it might be a blessing, not a curse. Could it be for nothing that the finding of Magnum Bonum had wrought the undoing of this wrong?
A report of his death was put into circulation, and a loyal journal published in Kilkenny the native town of the young rebel, who in this instance played his first trick on the government referred to his supposed decease in terms which showed that the rule de mortuis nil nisi bonum found acceptance with the editor.
Will he not see reborn in her, with the memory of his own youth added, another image? Do you know what you are talking about? Love, yes. Word known to all men. Amor vero aliquid alicui bonum vult unde et ea quae concupiscimus ... His own image to a man with that queer thing genius is the standard of all experience, material and moral. Such an appeal will touch him.
She would never marry such was the creed which was to govern her own life without love; but she would not allow herself to love where love would interfere with her high hopes. In her catalogue of human blisses love in a cottage was not entered. She was not avaricious; she did not look to money as the summum bonum; certainly not to marry for money's sake.
The three former are carried by the Bedel of Arts and the two sub-bedels, the three latter are carried by the Bedels of the three higher faculties, Divinity, Law, and Medicine. The three silver staves bear the following inscriptions: No. I. On the top 'Ego sum Via'; on the base 'Veritas et Vita'. No. II. On the top 'Aequum et Bonum'; on the base 'Iustitiae Columna'. No.
The Church did uphold a grace of some sort as the summum bonum, in comparison with which all so- called earthly knowledge knowledge, that is to say, which had not passed through so many people as to have become living and incarnate was unimportant. Do what we may, we are still drawn to the unspoken teaching of her less introspective ages with a force which no falsehood could command.
They kissed and parted, and Haward, a happy man, went with raised face through the stillness and the moonlight to his lodging at Marot's ordinary. No phantoms of the night disturbed him. He had found the philosopher's stone, had drunk of the divine elixir. Life was at last a thing much to be desired, and the Giver of life was good, and the summum bonum was deathless love.
Rolleston had accorded permission to join the sleigh-party, the summum bonum of her hopes; and the gratification was rendered more complete by a charming present from Cecil of an ermine cap, muff lined with scarlet, and ermine neck-tie, fastened by its cunning little head and tail.
