I will bind up the "Political Sonnets" and "Ode" according to your suggestion. I have not bound the poems yet; I wait till people have done borrowing them. I think I shall get a chain and chain them to my shelves, more Bodleiano, and people may come and read them at chain's length.
"Justice!" cried Magdalena, with a start, which caused the chain around her waist to clank upon the wretched stool on which she sat. "Justice!" she cried in a tone of indignation. For a moment the earthly spirit revolted. But it gleamed only for an instant. "May God pardon my unjust judge the sins of his youth," she paused, and added, "as I forgive him my cruel death!"
"The other question," said Drillford, "is this: Did he carry much on him in the way of valuables or money? I mean as a rule?" "He wore a very fine gold watch and chain," answered Mrs. Killenhall; "and as for money well, he always seemed to have a lot in his purse. And he wore two diamond rings very fine stones." "Just so!" murmured Drillford. "Set upon for the sake of those things, no doubt.
There were also mural monuments and escutcheons, and close against the wall lay the mutilated statue of a Crusader, with his legs crossed, in the style which one has so often read about.

My comfits contain your hair reduced to a powder. Here on my arm, see this bracelet on which our names are written with your hair, and round my neck this chain of the same material, which will help me to destroy my own life when your love fails me. Such is my crime, but I would not have been guilty of it, if I had not loved you."
The crank is a diabolical engine to keep thieves from ever being anything but thieves.

He had been now three weeks in the jail, and all that time only thrice in the labor-yard.
The shouts of the guards, the rattling of the chain, his wretched companions in misfortune, nay, all that surrounded him, could not fail to recall the fate awaiting him.
At least so it appears to me; for I think it obvious that the chain of argument which M. Bergson adopts can be carried much further than he has carried it, in his various writings. The view which M. Bergson adopts is somewhat as follows: Life is directive and creative; it utilizes the chemical and physical forces of the body for the purposes of its manifestation.
She wore a new frock, a new ring, a new watch and chain, and there was a new look in her face, one might say, as if the winter of care had passed out of her life with the snow and been forgotten in the spring sunshine of better prospects. "O Mr. Brock!" she exclaimed; "you back! But none too well yet, judging by appearances." "Where is Mrs. Maclure?" he demanded. "I wish I knew!"
It was with a sigh of relief that Paul now resumed his descent to lower levels. When presently they emerged out of the last cloud, and could see the green earth below them once more, they were across the last chain of mountain they would encounter in South America.
