So through the Hall and thence by coach home, calling by the way at Charing Crosse, and there saw the great Dutchman that is come over, under whose arm I went with my hat on, and could not reach higher than his eye-browes with the tip of my fingers, reaching as high as I could. He is a comely and well-made man, and his wife a very little, but pretty comely Dutch woman.
He glanced up at the young fellow's rather pale face. "I thought you'd make friends. How did you get all this?" "I beat the streets till I found it," said Tembarom. "I had luck right away. I went into a confectionery store where they make wedding- cakes. A good-natured little Dutchman and his wife kept it, and I talked to them " "Got next?" said Galton, grinning a little.
The overture characterizes the persons and situations of the drama, and introduces the motives which Wagner ever after used so freely, among them the curse resting upon the Dutchman, the restless motion of the sea, the message of the Angel of Mercy personified in Senta, the personification of the Dutchman, and the song of Daland's crew.
They all lined up, slapping him on the back; and as I stood in the door, they all lifted their glasses, and Jackway gave them what he called his "toast," which ran as follows: "Sold again And got the tin, And sucked another Dutchman in!"
A little past midnight, the trader came up into the loft where they were sleeping on a heap of straw and awakened Solomon. "Come down the ladder," said the Dutchman. "A young squaw has come out from the council. She will speak to you." Solomon slipped on his trousers, coat and boots, and went below. The squaw was sitting on the floor against the wall. A blanket was drawn over the back of her head.
At one time I understand it was his intention to take with him the Dutchman, Van Fort, or your mother's brother, Mark Fenwick. However, your father decided against this plan, and I went with him instead.
It was a mockery of their bravado, a belittlement of their bluff and swagger in the brief day of their oppression. Morgan withdrew the brand from the fire, knocking the clinging bits of wood from it against the ground. The Dutchman was first in the line at Morgan's right hand as he turned from the fire with the branding iron red-hot in his hand.
The brig stood boldly on, with all sail set; and as we saw her, she seemed about to run directly on shore. Our glasses were continually fixed on her. One moment she was before us the next she had disappeared. An exclamation of surprise escaped from many of the crew. "Hello! where's the stranger?" cried one. "Why, if she don't beat the Flying Dutchman!" exclaimed another.
It is curious, pathetic almost, I sometimes think, how deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening. The sickly seamstress in the narrow city lane tends her box of sicklier mignonette. The retired merchant is as fond of tulips as ever was Dutchman during the famous mania. The author finds a garden the best place to think out his thought.
He was over sixty years of age; had been eminent for some time in his profession; and had recently been one of a group of lawyers raised to the serjeantcy, with a view to their promotion to the Bench. As counsel for the prosecution, four lawyers, not on the Commission, were appointed, one of them John Cook, and another the learned Dutchman Dr. Dorislaus.
