Stay, is it not one of the Inquisition's tests? But I figured it not thus." "'Tis the immemorial pattern, smuggled in from Amsterdam," said the wine-flushed physician, throwing caution to the winds. "Taste! 'Tis more palatable than the Host." "Is Amsterdam, then, a Jewish town?" "Nay, but 'tis the Jerusalem of the West.
Experience counts enormously in school matches. Sedleigh had never been proved. The teams they played were the sort of sides which the Wrykyn second eleven would play.

No dreams visited us, but in accordance with the immemorial habit of those who live out whether in the woods, on the plains, among the mountains, or at sea once during the night each of us rose on his elbow, looked about him, and dropped back to sleep.
Everything is confused in my wearied retina. PROMETHEUS. But nothing pained you personally; and what about me, from time immemorial suffering the wrath of the gods? AHASVERUS. You? PROMETHEUS.

Canals were maintained, forests were cleared, trees were planted, and marshes were drained by the village communities from time immemorial; and the same continues still. Quite lately, in La Borne of Lozere barren hills were turned into rich gardens by communal work.
There they observed two enormous heaps of stones known as the Parson and the Deacon; for it had been the custom from immemorial times for every traveller to fling a big stone as a "sacrifice" for good luck upon the Parson's heap and a small stone upon the Deacon's.
