Having carefully and warily decanted both, he changed the subject of his praise; and, assuring Clarence that the wine he was about to taste was at least as old as Master Clinton, having been purchased in joyous celebration of the young gentleman's birthday, he whiled away the minutes with a glowing eulogy on its generous qualities, till Mary entered with the supper.

"People only faint because the blood leaves their heads that's why they go pale." Musa's cheeks showed a tinge of red. You could almost see the precious blood being decanted by Miss Ingate out of the man's feet into his head. In a minute he opened his eyes. Miss Ingate lowered the legs. "It was only the pain that made him feel queer," she said.

He therefore advised no, not advised; for with some minds if you advise you are not listened to, if you command you are obeyed he commanded that his patient should have his madeira always decanted into the curious beaker, for certain galvanic advantages that every knowing porter-drinker is aware of: Erasmus emptied a decanter of madeira into the beaker to show that it held more than a quart.

My conductors appeared to have the passion, for our course led from one method of hazard to another roulette, chuck-a-luck where the patrons cast dice for prizes of money and valuables arrayed upon numbered squares of an oilcloth covered board, keno where numbered balls were decanted one at a time from a bottle-shaped leather receptacle called, I learned, the "goose," and the players kept tab by filling in little cards as in domestic lotto; and finally we stopped at the simplest apparatus of all.

Each part of the chlorides requires three parts by weight of the silver citrate to throw down the chlorine, thus: 3NaCl + Ag C H O = Na3.C H O +3AgCl. The silver chloride formed a dense insoluble precipitate, and the supernatant fluid was decanted and filtered through a rubber tube and handed round as a beverage. with less than half a grain of undecomposed chlorides.

Mallett decanted some very special port that he has in the wine-cellar, and they settled down to it round the dinner-table, talking." "I see. Did you hear any of the conversation?" "No, I didn't.
