I sleep hardly a couple of hours. Then into the early morning air, out with the birds; I know no other pleasure. LYRA: Hospital work for a variation: civil or military. The former involves the house-surgeon: the latter the grateful lieutenant. ASTRAEA: Not if a woman can resist... I go to it proof-armoured. LYRA: What does the Dame say? ASTRAEA: Sighs over me! Just a little maddening to hear.
Sometimes I am afraid to think of what I was, lest I should suddenly romp, and perform pirouettes and cry 'Carnation! There is the bell. We must not be late when the professor condescends to sit for meals. LYRA: That rings healthily in the professor. ASTRAEA: Arm in arm, my Lyra. LYRA: No Pluriel yet! ASTRAEA: Pardon me if I do not hear you well. ARDEN: I will not even think you barbarous.
Pleydell's judgment, always with his best leisure, to expound a disputed passage." "I am not in the vein, Mr. Sampson," answered Pleydell; "here's metal more attractive I do not despair to engage these two young ladies in a glee or a catch, wherein I, even I myself, will adventure myself for the bass part Hang De Lyra, man; keep him for a fitter season."
Kent, W.S., elongation of dorsal fin of Callionymus lyra; courtship of Labrus mixtus; colours and courtship of Cantharus lineatus. Kestrels, new mates found by. Kidney, one, doing double work in disease. King, W.R., on the vocal organs of Tetrao cupido; on the drumming of grouse; on the reindeer; on the attraction of male deer by the voice of the female.
Newman defend the first of these two assertions, when he remembers such books of popular Protestant devotion as Wesley's Hymns, or the German hymn-books of which we have examples in the well-known Lyra Germanica?
I thought they wanted to please themselves and mortify others. I do. But then I may be different. Perhaps Miss Northwick wants to please Mr. Brandreth." "Do you mean it, Lyra?" demanded Annie, arrested on her threshold by the charm of this improbability. "Well, I don't know; they're opposites. But, upon second thoughts, you needn't come in, Annie.
"And when they find I'm not?" she demanded with severity, that had no effect upon Lyra. "Then they'll say you couldn't get him." "They may say what they please. What do you think of the plan?" "I think it would be the greatest blessing for the poor little thing," said Lyra, with a nearer approach to seriousness than she usually made. "And the greatest care for you," she added, after a moment.
There's plenty of room. Jack can walk." Jack Wilmington joined Lyra in urging Annie to take his place. He said to her, apart, "Young Munger has been telling me that Putney got at the sideboard and carried off the rum. I'll stay and help look after him." A crazy laugh came into the parlour from the piazza outside, and the group in the alcove started forward.
"But I don't think it would be well for Jack to marry yet; and if I see him taking a fancy to any real nice girl, I sha'n't interfere with him. But I shall be very particular, Annie." She looked at Annie with such a droll mock earnest, and shook her head with such a burlesque of grandmotherly solicitude, that Annie laughed in spite of herself. "Oh, Lyra, Lyra!"
"The Ballad of Bouillabaisse" and "The Age of Wisdom," to take only two examples, are unmatched in their presentation of pathos that always keeps clear of the maudlin, and is wide-eyed if not dry-eyed in view of all sides of life; while such things as "Lyra Hibernica" and "The Ballads of Policeman X" have never been surpassed as verse examples of pure, broad, roaring farce that still retains a certain reserve and well-bred scholarship of tone.
