It sufficiently indicates, however, the aim of Napoleon's studies. One and all they were designed to equip him for the great task of re-awakening the spirit of the Corsicans and of sapping the base of the French monarchy. But these reams of manuscript notes and crude literary efforts have an even wider source of interest. They show how narrow was his outlook on life.
"How do you explain his disappearance?" "I cannot explain it." "And Mon. Andermatt?" "I do not know." "Yet the article published in the `Echo de France' indicates " "Yes, that the Varin brothers had something to do with his disappearance." "Is that your opinion?" "Yes." "On what do you base your opinion?"
It is true that the same voyage which the steamer carrying the Governor of Vancouver's Island successfully performed, was attempted without success by another steamer about the same time a fact which probably indicates that the river will be navigable only for vessels of small draught, and possibly, perhaps, not equally navigable at all seasons; for we must remember that in the early part of June, when this attempt was successfully made, the waters of the river had already begun to rise, in consequence of the melting of the snow from the Rocky Mountains, from which it springs.
They were not among "the many noblemen" to whom the commissioners referred; for their confessions remain, and contain no allusion to the Nun; but they were examined at this particular time on general suspicion; and the arrest, under such circumstances, of two near relatives of Lady Salisbury, indicates clearly an alarm in the council, lest she might be contemplating some serious movements.
I caught her up in my arms and carried her back to the sofa, and I whispered in her ear: "I'll stay, Zillah; I'll do anything for you." The child clapped her hands gleefully as she exclaimed: "Now I've got thee. He's promised me to stay, mother." "Yes," said the physician, after feeling my pulse, "you certainly must, and you ought to be in bed this moment. Your pulse indicates a very high fever.
Those that are best for brewing are generally known by the absence of a brown colour, which indicates perished hops; a colour between green and yellow, a great quantity of the yellow farina, seeds not too large or hard, a clamminess when rubbed between the fingers, and a lively pleasant smell, are the general indications of good hops.
Daughter of an imperator, sister of another, and consort of a third, she is best known as the mother of Nero, and the patroness of every thing that was shameful in the follies of the times. That an emperor should wed and be ruled by two such infamous women, indicates either weakness or depravity, and both qualities are equally fatal to the welfare of the state over which he was called to rule.
A first glance might have induced the belief that all were buried in the most profound slumber; but the quick jerking of a limb, the fitful, sudden shifting of a position, the utter absence of that deep breathing which indicates the unconsciousness of repose, and the occasional spirting of tobacco juice upon the deck, all these symptoms only required to be noticed, to prove the living silence that reigned throughout was not born either of apathy or sleep.
When Bancroft declares a treaty of Colonial governors against Indian ravages the germ of democratic government, we know that it is his attachment to a theory, and not the actual circumstances, which leads to such an inference; for the very authority he cites merely indicates a defensive alliance among rulers, not a coalition of the ruled.
Willis indicates by the following passage the suddenness of the flood he describes: 'My first intimation that there was anything uncommon in the brook was the sight of a gentleman in a boat towing a cow across the meadow under our library window a green glade seldom or never flooded.
