Such little phrases as "Dear Stevenage" that was one of her odd names for me "I wish you were here," or "Dear, dear Stevenage," were epistolary events, and I would re-read the blessed wonderful outbreak a hundred times.... Our separation lengthened. There was a queer detached unexpected meeting in London in December, for some afternoon gathering.
I would not dream of fancying myself in a position to give any trustworthy opinion on the subject of America and its people, unless I had thus mixed amongst all classes of the community during a lengthened stay in the country although, mind you, your "working-man's friend," and "trades' union delegate," and "Alliance" teetotaller, and "liberal" peer, and disestablishing Nonconformist tourists all of only three weeks' experience think they can take in, in one glance, the whole extent of a continent embracing some hundred million square miles, understanding the entire working of the "institutions," of the "great republic" through travelling on a railroad from New York to Chicago!
Just for five minutes! Get off to bed, you kid, and leave me to work." Rather reluctantly Mavis fell in with her sister's humour and reopened her text-books. "Clive's only fooling!" she remonstrated. "I know; and so am I! Here we are Keltic words in use in the English language. You can squint over my shoulder if you like." The five minutes lengthened out till Mrs.
Through the dreary hours of the afternoon Ruth sat in the anteroom by Gordon's side waiting for the verdict. Minutes lengthened into hours, and hours into days and years, until time and eternity were one, and she lived a life of despair or hope within the second between the ticks of the clock on the wall. She tried to say a word of cheer to Gordon, and choked.
The ancient and perpetually changing distribution of nations in Scythia or Tartary, in its most extended sense, almost elude research, and would require lengthened dissertations instead of illustrative notes. From the subsequent travels of Rubruquis, it will appear, that this ceremony was in honour of the Tartar messengers going from Baatu to the emperor, not from respect to the papal envoys.
It breaks no Sabbath; but makes every day a Sabbath, and all time one lengthened holy day. It degrades no priest; but makes all men priests. It does not bring down the high, but raises the low. It denies not heaven; but brings down heaven to earth. Everywhere is heaven. God's kingdom is an universal kingdom.
It was prettily done. "And how did you bear the disappointment?" "My dream was in the nursery. The day my frock was lengthened to a gown I stood at the altar. I am not the only girl that has been made a woman in a day, and given to an ogre instead of a true knight." "Good God!" exclaimed Sir Austin, "women have much to bear." Here the couple changed characters.
And the higher the civilisation, the more difficult, the more complex, and the more lengthened must be this process of acquiring experiences necessary to fit the individual to his environment. Hence, whatever the particular nature of the environment may be, the aim of education must be the fitting of the individual to his natural and social environments.
He had spoken before in this light of a plain man's vision, but he must be something more than a plain man now. "Hasn't she then, Charlotte, always her husband ?" "To complain to? She'd rather die." "Oh!" and Bob Assingham's face, at the vision of such extremities, lengthened for very docility. "Hasn't she the Prince then?" "For such matters? Oh, he doesn't count."
The crowd, terrified by this act of apostasy, uttered a lengthened murmur. It was felt that the last tie which bound their souls to a merciful divinity was breaking. But owing to his mutilation, Schahabarim could take no part in the cult of the Baal.
