Andrew Lang in Longman's Magazine some time ago, in which the members of a herd of cattle in Scotland turned with sudden amazing fury on one of the cows that had got wedged between two rocks and was struggling with distressed bellowings to free itself why did they not attack the prisoning rocks instead of goring their unfortunate comrade to death?
John Gibson says the Trustees are to allow my expense in travelling £300, with £50 taken in in Longman's bill. This will place me rectus in curia, and not much more, faith! There is a fellow bawling out a ditty in the street, the burthen of which is "There's nothing but poverty everywhere." He shall not be a penny richer for telling me what I know but too well without him. May 17.
"She told me that Ben were the brat's pa, and that " her eyes gladdened as she finished "she were a-lovin' him; and, Satisfied, when we air a-lovin', and lovin' damn hard, then ain't we happy when we air with them what we loves?" She had come close to him, standing near the dead man and woman. The girl slipped her hand into Longman's reassuringly, as she asked the last question.
To Ben she would not open, but, glancing at the window, she saw Ezra Longman's face pressed against the pane. Slipping back the lock, she flung open the door. "Ezy, ye air allers a-comin' when I wants to read the Bible. I tells ye to stay away from the shanty, and ye won't!" Would the babe remain quiet until the pale squatter boy had departed?
Longman's fretful demand that they draw up and eat. That evening Minister Graves came blustering in after his family were seated at the table. What was this ridiculous thing that he had heard? His home disgraced, his position ruined, his children ostracized. He glanced at Teola and Frederick. His wife, fastening Babe's napkin under the child's chin, remonstrated.
He broke off, amazed by Isabel's change of countenance, as she put her hand to the arm he held, hastily withdrew it, and exclaimed, 'My bracelet! oh, my bracelet! turning round to seek it on the pavement. 'The ivory clasp? asked Louis, perceiving its absence. 'Oh yes! she cried, in much distress, 'I would not have lost it for all the world. 'You may have left it at Miss Longman's.
The lazy warmth of a May afternoon, the spring following Orn Skinner's release from Auburn Prison, was reflected in the attitudes of three men lounging on the shore in front of "Satisfied" Longman's shack. At their feet, the waters of Cayuga Lake dimpled under the rays of the western sun.
The Forecourt of the Seasons, the continuation of the Court of the Four Seasons to the Marina, is officially called the Forecourt of Ceres, because of Evelyn Beatrice Longman's Fountain of Ceres which commands it. Ceres, or Demeter, the goddess of Agriculture, presided over the Earth's abundance. By her favor, came the good harvest; she it was who first instructed man in the use of the plough.
The post brought matter for a May or April morning a letter from Sir James Mackintosh, telling me that Moore and he were engaged as contributors to Longman's Encyclopædia, and asking me to do a volume at £1000, the subject to be the History of Scotland in one volume. This would be very easy work. I have the whole stuff in my head, and could write currente calamo.
However, this is Aitken, not Mullgardt. The allegories of the group are detailed in the chapter on Fountains.
