His eyes, which stuck out several inches in front of his face on long prongs, were delightfully mischievous and confiding; and he was covered with the most beautiful snow-white, curly hair. But he had one drawback; and Sara discovered that when she started to pick him up. It was a sort of little window in the exact middle of his back, with an ising-glass cover, like the slide-cover of some boxes.
He discovered a little back room in the real-estate office half filled with old boxes and bags, of which no one else seemed to be aware, and this he fitted up with a bed, a little table and a lamp, and made of it, with a boy's enthusiasm especially the enthusiasm of a boy who had known Indians a secret cave in which he lived in a mysterious and exciting way.
The boys went down into a cellar where their guide lighted an oil lamp. The cellar smelled stale but it had boxes to sit on and a table. There was a box on the table. "Your food," the German said, nodding toward the box. He turned away and went upstairs again. They heard him close the door and rake straw over it. O'Malley opened the box at once.
When the cannoneers can mount the boxes, it may have greater mobility and be advanced farther to the front. It has already been stated that half of the horse-artillery should be held in reserve, that it may be rapidly moved to any required point. For this purpose it should be placed upon the most open ground, whence it can move readily in every direction.
He is engaged in introducing men and through them a great multitude to his Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, fellows, boys have alabaster boxes, too and there's only one place to break them at the feet of Jesus. Read Mark 14:3-9. Say, fellows, do you know it is impossible for anybody to tell with words the whole story of the cross.
The prophet's wife was at that time living in a building of which the front part was the general store whence the material needs of the growing church were as far as possible provided. Susannah passed through between bales of cloths, boxes, and barrels of provisions.
It was the rattle of the rain on the canvas covering of the wagon which had aroused the boy. "I say father!" he repeated. "Father!" Again there was no reply, and, kicking aside the blanket with which he had been covered, Dick Arbuckle clambered over some boxes piled high in the center of the vehicle to where he had left his parent resting less than three hours before.
We enter from the street straight into a large room full of interesting things, but the dealer takes us into quite a small room, where he invites us to sit at a table. And now he brings out one costly article after another. First he shows us some gold lacquered boxes, on which are depicted trees and houses and the sun in gold, and golden boats sailing over water.
"And does it continue to have the same effect, Mr. Henderson?" "Hardly," and he smiled; "the illusion goes, and the stage is about as real as the house usually less interesting. It can hardly compete with the comedy in the boxes." "Perhaps it is lack of experience, but I like the play for itself." "Oh yes; desire for the dramatic is natural. People will have it somehow.
Reading the newspapers now had a personal interest, a terrifying, dreadful interest. Then the packing and sending of holiday boxes, over the contents of which Olive and Rachel spent much careful planning and anxious preparation. Then another interval of more letters, letters which hinted vaguely at big things just ahead. Then no letter for more than a month.
