'And what is the appointment you have got? he asked at length, dismissing his own affairs with impatience. It was that of mathematical lecturer at a London college. 'I shall have a hundred and fifty a year, and be able to take private pupils. On two hundred, at least, I can count, and there are possibilities I won't venture to speak of, because it doesn't do to be too hopeful.
"Well, will he ask for forgiveness?" said the king. "No, your majesty; he asserts that for a small fault he has been too harshly punished, and he will not bow so low as to plead against an injustice." "Let him remain in arrest," said Frederick, dismissing Jaschinsky. The king was alone; he walked up and down with his arms folded, as was his custom, when engaged in deep thought.
'My child, you won't possibly have time before the dinner-hour, she said to Nesta, dismissing her and taking her kiss of comfort with a short and straining look out of the depths. Those bitter doubts of the sentiments of neighbours are an incipient dislike, when one's own feelings to the neighbours are kind, could be affectionate.
Getting up at sunrise, Kondjé and I take a run through the coppices, her little feet all wet with the dew. We feel free, merry, and careless, dismissing the commissary to oblivion, and trusting to each other's love, the full charms of which this solitary companionship has revealed to us.
Ishmael, my dear boy, excuse me for dismissing you for a few minutes; but pray return to me as soon as this Lord 'Foppington' leaves me. May Satan fly away with him, for I know he is coming to ask me for my girl!" It was well that Ishmael happened to be sitting with his back to the window.
To be sure, my lord's mightily jealous of being master, and mighty fond of his own way; but I forgive him every thing for doing as I would have him at last, and dismissing that prince of mischief-makers, Mr. Champfort.
"Sir," he said, with the ring of real and deep feeling in his voice, "sir, believe me, if I had known what bringing this subpoena meant, I would sooner have lost my situation!" Raeburn's face relaxed; he spoke a few courteous, dignified words, accepting with a sort of unspoken gratitude the man's regret, and in a few moments dismissing him.
Three new lectures having been thus added to my course on the Renaissance period, I delivered them to my class; and, just as I was finishing the last of them, a messenger came to tell me that Mr. Cornell was dying. Dismissing my students, I hurried to his house, but was just too late; a few minutes before my arrival his eyes had closed in death. But his work was done nobly done.
Dismissing my friendly guide, and sending him back rejoicing with liberal largesse, I hurried as quickly as I could make my way along the ramparts, past the frowning, ancient cannon skirting the park, until I burst into the château at half past the hour. I must have presented a dreadful spectacle, for my hair and collar were matted with blood, and I saw the guests stare and shrink from me.
So, dismissing the matter of my own fate from my mind, I fell to considering the scene which I had witnessed and what might be its purport. Was our quest at an end? Was this woman Ayesha? Leo had so dreamed, but he was still delirious, therefore here was little on which to lean.
