"Furthermore, one of my little maids is too ill to move, and I don't see us walking off with folded arms, and that's what would happen if I followed your advice, for the only horse the Army has left me is over twenty and so lame that he can't walk two steps. If he could I'd have had to present him for the second inspection at Chateau Thierry on Wednesday."
"Yes," replied the colonel, pointing to a throng of men on the river bank. "Now there'll be trouble," said Mrs. Zane nervously. "I wish with all my heart Brandt had not thrown himself, as he called it, on your mercy." "So do I," declared Colonel Zane. "What will be done?" she asked. "There! that's Jack! Silas has hold of his arm." "He's lame. He has been hurt," replied her husband.
Saking, a lame spirit, called for one of the pig's legs, and with it rubbed the limbs of each member of the family, "so that they will not become ill in their legs." One of the mediums now became possessed by Mangamian, who carried a feather which he used as a fighting knife. The onlookers seized similar weapons and defended themselves, or drove the spirit away by threatening him with a small dog.
'Now the God of Peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the Sheep, through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, make us perfect in every good work, to do His will. God has bound Himself by His promise to give you and me the peace that belongs to His own nature, and that covenant is sealed to us in the blood of Jesus Christ upon the Cross, and so we sinful men, with all the burden of our evil upon us, with all our sins known to us, with all our manifest failings and infirmities, can turn to Him and say, 'Thou hast pledged Thyself to forgive and accept, and that covenant is made sure to me because Thy Son hath died, and I come and ask Thee to fulfil it. And be sure of this, that no poor creature upon earth, however lame his hand, who puts out that hand to grasp that peaceful covenant that new covenant in the blood of Christ can plead in vain.
The crutches of a lame man rang out on the fine tiles of the pavement, and, out beyond the tower, under the great arch of communication between the archbishop's palace and the Cathedral, the beggars were gathering in order to take up their accustomed positions at the cloister door.
Lame duck!" and all Nuremberg knew her better by the nickname of the Lame Duck than by her husband's. That the poor little woman had departed this life we had all heard yestereve; but even the Magister had fully believed that her leavings would scarce be worth the pains of a walk to the town hall.
The professor was, moreover, lame. With a groan, he sank back on a rock, unable, for the time being, to move. Pete, however, gave himself a vigorous shake, and instantly made a dart for the saddle of one of the horses. He returned in a jiffy with two lariats, with which he proceeded to "hog-tie" the Mexicans with neatness and despatch, as he himself would have expressed it.
"But, stranger, I can't accommodate you. We have but one spare room, and that has been taken by the man who is sitting there." "Then give me a bit to eat." "Get the stranger something," said the woman to her husband, without rising. "Are you lame, that you don't get it yourself?" The woman paused; then said, "Husband, you are tired. Sit here and I will wait on the stranger."
H. If you tell the truth, you can tell us the next verse, for there's another which we did not yet sing. Christy. Not in my copy, which is the original. Sir W. If you have another verse, let us hear it and that will decide the business. Christy. Oh, the devil another line, but what's lame, I'll engage, and forged, as you'll see. Mr. HOPE sings,
He is never merely conventional, and his poetry, like his prose, is homespun and sound. But his ear was defective: his rhymes are crude, and his verse is often lame and unmusical, a fault which can be countervailed by nothing but force, and force he lacks. To say that his ear was defective is hardly strong enough.
