The Prince could not have suspected my object; had he known it, he would have refused my request, but as it is he granted it." "And so you are here?" "As you see." "And thus I shall see you every day?" "As often as I can manage it." "Oh, Rosa, my beautiful Rosa, do you love me a little?" "A little?" she said, "you make no great pretensions, Mynheer Cornelius."
It was concluded in the seventeenth year, in the consulate of Cneius Cornelius and Publius Aelius Paetus. It is related that Scipio frequently said afterward, that first the ambition of Tiberius Claudius, and afterward of Cneius Cornelius, were the causes which prevented his terminating the war by the destruction of Carthage.
Sentence is passed on the Roman, and if your ruffians do their duty, and if the gods accept the holocaust that I had slain before them at sunset for the success of my project, in a couple of hours Publius Cornelius Scipio will have bled to death.
This deputation, consisting of Abraham Fissher, Cornelius H. Wessels, and Daniel Wolmarans, sailed from Delagoa Bay. The reader may ask the object which this deputation had in view. Was it that our Governments relied on foreign intervention? Emphatically, no! They never thought of such a thing.
When Cornelius, holding his lamp in advance of him, came into line with the current of air which the young man could send from his lungs, the lamp was blown out. Cornelius muttered vague words and swore a Dutch oath; but he turned and retraced his steps. The young man then rushed to his room, caught up his dagger and returned to the blessed window, opened it softly and jumped upon the roof.
There was a moment's hush, and then Elsie piped out: "David, can't you tell another story, please?" "It is pretty nearly bedtime," Miss Lucy suggested. "If we have one, it must be short." "Oh, David, sing a song do!" begged Polly. "Can he sing?" queried Cornelius wonderingly. "Beautifully!" answered Polly. "You don't know!" laughed David. "You never heard me." "Yes, I do know!" insisted Polly.
But since Hannibal is our antagonist, who is besieging Italy for now the fourteenth year, with an army unimpaired, will you have reason to be dissatisfied, Publius Cornelius, with the glory you will acquire, if you in your consulate shall drive out of Italy an enemy who has been the cause of so many deaths and so many disasters to us, and if you should enjoy the distinction of having terminated this, as Caius Lutatius did the former Punic war?
At first a share in a company represented a running foot on the lode's length. In 1871, Mr. Cornelius O'Connor bought ten shares of Consolidated Virginia at eight dollars a share. When it had been divided into one thousand shares and he was offered $680 a share, he had the sagacity to sell, realizing a profit of $679,920 on his investment of $80.
Yet I have heard him attribute to these extravagant fictions that unsettled turn of mind which prevented his ever fixing in any profession. After having resided for some time at the house of his uncle, Cornelius Ford, Johnson was, at the age of fifteen, removed to the school of Stourbridge, in Worcestershire, of which Mr. Wentworth was then master.
This evening none of those little noises broke the silence of the lobby, the clock struck nine, and a quarter; the half-hour, then a quarter to ten, and at last its deep tone announced, not only to the inmates of the fortress, but also to all the inhabitants of Loewestein, that it was ten. This was the hour at which Rosa generally used to leave Cornelius.
