"In the British Catalogue this star is not denoted by any letter: but Bayer calls it i, and on referring to the earliest MS. Catalogue in MSS. vol. xxv., I find it is there so designated; I have therefore restored the letter." See "Bedford Cycle." Translator. The curious phenomenon of a periodical change of intensity in certain stars, very early excited a keen attention in Herschel.
But this comparison between the witty and the comic is also indicative of the line we must take in studying the comic in words. On the one hand, indeed, we find there is no essential difference between a word that is comic and one that is witty; on the other hand, the latter, although connected with a figure of speech, invariably calls up the image, dim or distinct, of a comic scene.
But he still insisted on either communicator calls or personal contact when he wished to talk to any of his people. And he discouraged any but essential use of the communicator system, generally demanding that people come in to see him. DeVore wrinkled his face disgustedly. It was hard to communicate with the district leader by means of a headband.
The damage done to a native larder in one of his morning calls was more than could be made good by his entertainer's spending the holidays with them. The old man, as I have hinted, had, once upon a time, been a cruise or two in a whaling-vessel; and, therefore, he prided himself upon his English.
"Give me my gun!" "Not so fast, my bantam!" cried the guide. "Baxter, reckon ye had better look into the shack and see what's there." The bully did as requested. On seeing Jasper Grinder, he started back. "Grinder!" "Who calls?" asked the wounded man, and opened his eyes. "So it is you, Dan Baxter. What do you want?" "What did you desert us for, Grinder?" "I didn't desert you.
"Very well, then," said Harris, "let's take a proper yacht, with a skipper, and do the thing in style." That also I objected to. I know that skipper; his notion of yachting is to lie in what he calls the "offing," where he can be well in touch with his wife and family, to say nothing of his favourite public-house. Years ago, when I was young and inexperienced, I hired a yacht myself.
They might reach it either through losing the present body, in the act of death, and passing through a period of what he calls nakedness; or they might attain it by being 'superinvested, as it were, with the glorious body which was to come to saints with Christ when He came; and so slip on, as it were, the wedding garment over their old clothes, without having to denude themselves of these.
Daniel Wheelwright is known to have had a father and mother, so likewise he must have had grand-parents. And these were, doubtless, sensible and judicious people, more desirous of being industrious and useful, than what the world calls great.
The whole scene is at all points alike in its unlikeness to the workmanship of Shakespeare. Here then I think we may finally draw bridle: for the rest of the course is not worth running; there is nothing in the residue of this last act which deserves analysis or calls for commentary.
'She goes prowlin' about all day among the hills, as if she was a-lookin' for somebody; and she talks to somebody as she calls the Tywysog o'r Niwl, an' I know that's Welsh for the "Prince o' the Mist"; but back she comes at night.
