Julian's great head is a delicately organized one. I am obliged to have all his hats made expressly for him, and my hatter, Mr. Nodder, says he never saw such a circumference in his life. I always look upon his head as one of the planets. Our house has been robbed by two notorious thieves.
"Parthenia" is a tale of the fourth century, but it tells the experience of lofty souls in all centuries. The particular period chosen is one of the deepest interest, that of the conflict of expiring Paganism with growing Christianity, under Julian the Apostate. Julian's character, as drawn in the story, may be considered as a true historical study.
As to my landed property, it will all go, in course of law, to my heir, Samuel Hayley, and may he and his long enjoy it. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 13th day of May, 1840. "Duly signed, sealed, and delivered! d nation!" was Julian's brief epilogue "General, let's burn it." "You can if you please, Mr.
In his search after cause for his cousin's attack upon him, he readily fixed upon Julian's rage at the Maccabee's preëmption of the beautiful girl in the hills. Instantly, the disgrace of violence committed in a quarrel between himself and his cousin over the possession of a woman, appealed to him. And even as instantly, his defiant heart accepted its shame and persisted in its fault.
The upshot of Julian's visit was so amazingly different from the apprehension of it that he could have danced in his glee. "Not I!" Julian answered ferociously. "The old robber has been writing me, wanting me to put money into some cinema swindle or other. I gave him a bit of my mind." "He was trying the same here," said Rachel.
The merriment on Julian's side was not very natural; he looked indeed too ill to enjoy mirth of any kind. As they stood in the Square, waiting for an omnibus, he kept glancing uneasily about him, especially in the direction whence they had come. It had the appearance of a habit, but before they had stood much more than a minute, he started and exclaimed in a low voice to his companion
"Tell me, for you seem to await some question from me, what is to be the fate of my parents, and why you separate me from them?" Bridgenorth, for answer, indicated with his finger the mark which his countenance still showed from the explosion of Julian's pistol.

To Julian's inquiry, she answered, by laying her hand on her heart a motion by which she always indicated the Countess and rising, and taking the direction of her apartment, she made a sign to Julian to follow her.
I can say for myself that as a member I never asserted any such right and as the head of the Treasury I can say that no such claim was ever made upon me by any member of Congress. The nearest approach to it was by George W. Julian. During one of his canvasses for re-nomination, a clerk named Smith, and a correspondent of a journal in Mr. Julian's district, had advocated the nomination of Mr.
The servant appeared again as he spoke, with some lines in pencil written by Lady Janet on the back of Julian's note. "Thank God, we have revived her. In a few minutes we hope to be able to take her to her room." The nearest way to Mercy's room was through the library. Grace's immediate removal had now become a necessity which was not to be trifled with.
