And now in the torrid heat of summer, the canicular days being at hand, the furnaces in the glass-house of the said Angelo have been extinguished.
I do not see how the heliacal rising of Sirius in any one year could help them to determine its length. By comparing two successive years they could of course have got at a sidereal year; but this is what they did not do; hence the irregularity which produced the canicular cycle.
It is well if your friend, or mistress, be content with these canicular probations. Few young ladies but in this sense keep a dog.
"Let me be!" he said impatiently. "It is all bad bad bad. Bad as ill-blood. Bad as crime." She clung to his arm nevertheless. "Come into the church and tell me. No one cares as I do." "Poor little soul!" He let her draw him into the great porch of the church and thence into the church itself; it was dark, as it always was, cold as an autumn evening, damp even in the canicular heat.
But this Zorzi, called the Ballarin, although he has removed from the furnace of the said Angelo the glass which was to be kept hot, does insolently and defiantly refuse to put out the fire in the said furnace, and forces the boys to make the fire all night, to the great injury of their health, because the canicular days are approaching.
The point, however, was that they had changed places; Maggie had from her window, seen her stepmother leave the house at so unlikely an hour, three o'clock of a canicular August, for a ramble in garden or grove and had thereupon felt her impulse determined with the same sharpness that had made the spring of her companion's three weeks before.
The ingredients are mingled with a nice discrimination between the rights of the palate and the maintenance of health. You may not wait your own convenience in such serious business. "It is best made by taking all the Canicular days into your fermentation."

It was midsummer, but no words and no experience of other places can convey an idea of the canicular heat of Jerusalem. Bengal, Egypt, even Nubia, are nothing to it; in these countries there are rivers, trees, shade, and breezes; but Jerusalem at midday in midsummer is a city of stone in a land of iron with a sky of brass. The wild glare and savage lustre of the landscape are themselves awful.
Put into it Limon-peel and Cloves, or what best pleaseth your taste of Spice or Herbs. Eringo-roots put into it, when it is boiling, maketh it much better. It will be very good this way, if you make it so strong, as to bear an Egge very boyant. It is best made by taking all the Canicular days into your fermentation. Put three parts of water to one of honey.
