There is a method much to be deprecated that was fashionable in some parts of Europe in the last century, of strengthening the middle joint of the back by first cutting out a lozenge or square space and then fitting and filling with a stud. When dry, the parts are levelled and glass-papered over.
M. Domini's surprise increased every minute as he proceeded; while at times, exclamations of astonishment passed his lips: "Is it possible?" "That is hard to believe!" M. Lecoq finished his recital; he tranquilly munched a lozenge, and added: "What does Monsieur the Judge of Instruction think now?" M. Domini was fain to confess that he was almost satisfied.
In New York all the lunch one has time for is to swallow a plasmon lozenge in a street-car." His high pitched voice shrieked bombastic platitude into my ears for an illimitable time. I answered occasionally with the fringe of my mind. Could my agonised state of being have remained unperceived by any human creature save this young, hustling, dollar-centred New York floral decorator?
A minister from another town assisted at these times, and when the service ended the members filed in at one door and out at another, passing on their way Mr. Dishart and his elders, who dispensed "tokens" at the foot of the pulpit. Without a token, which was a metal lozenge, no one could take the sacrament on the coming Sabbath, and many a member has Mr.
The left figure, which is very ancient, I take to be William de Birmingham, who was made prisoner by the French, at the siege of Bellegard, in the 25th of Edward the First, 1297. He wears a short mantle, which was the dress of that time, a sword, expressive of the military order, and he also bears a shield with the bend lozenge, which seems never to have been borne after the above date.
And you, my children dear, adieu! Farewell! farewell to thee! Adieu! farewell! adieu! "Were you looking for your handkerchief, sir?" "Yes," said I, accidentally swallowing whole a nervine lozenge which Captain Leezur had given me. "This," said Captain Judah, with an expressive smile, as he opened another roll, "if you will excuse the egotism, refers to an experience of my own.
What good dinners you have game every day, Malmsey-Madeira, and no end of fish from London. Is it so, or is it not so? I appeal to the middle classes. Ah, gracious powers! I wish you would send me an old aunt a maiden aunt an aunt with a lozenge on her carriage, and a front of light coffee-coloured hair how my children should work workbags for her, and my Julia and I would make her comfortable!
On mature consideration, he thought it better to add a little more wine. It would save them from the contingency of a longer service than was already necessary. He poured in the little more, and the silver jug was now a little more than three parts full. Mr. Windle's lozenge was well dissolved and swallowed before the anthem was finished, and the service went through without a break. The Rev.
"Well, then, you may remember that the weather was very mild up to the seventh of the month." "Don't; but grant it. Go ahead." "On the eighth of November it grew suddenly colder, and I got out my winter things, and in the afternoon I changed. Having done so, I put my pencil in the right-hand waistcoat pocket. There was something round and hard there a lozenge?
That love-token was a lozenge a small disk, I have reason to believe, concocted of peppermint and sugar, bearing upon its reverse surface the simple words, 'I love you! I have since ascertained that these disks may be bought for five cents a dozen or at considerably less than one half-cent for the single lozenge.
