Wilson and Mr. Betton, in mentioning Mr. Mason's contemporaries at the bar. They were near his own age, and both well known as lawyers and public men. Mr. Mason, while yet in New Hampshire, found himself engaged in causes in which that illustrious man, Samuel Dexter, also appeared. The late Mr.
"Don't cry can't you get some brandy?" Then in her turn she felt herself caught by the arm. "Miss Fountain Miss Laura I can get you out of this! there's a way out here by the back." Mason's white countenance showed over her shoulder as she turned. "Not yet can't anyone find some brandy? Ah!" For their guide came up at the moment with a bottle in his hand.
Mason's election as senator from New Hampshire, the speakership was to be refused in order to promote harmony and strength in the House. To all this Mr. Webster submitted, and fought the battles of the administration in debate as no one else could have done. Nevertheless, all men like recognition, and Mr.
Both drank again, and after a long time the carpenter smiled faintly. "He was looking for the 'lost water," he said, in a tone of contempt. The faint smile slowly reflected itself in the mason's face. The two finished their wine, lit their pipes again, left the price of their drink on the table without disturbing the host and went away.
The old Frenchwoman, Mason's housekeeper, opened the door for Trenton, and he remembered as he went in how the exquisite cleanliness of everything had impressed him during his former visit.

Poor Green was handed down, all astonishment, at the want of success of his mason's signs. I, who stood abaft, was delighted at the success of my joke, while the first lieutenant walked hastily up and down the deck, as much astonished as enraged at such insulting and insolent conduct from a lad who had not been a week in the service.
Ian thought it would be so romantic to take a lunch with us and eat it among the Stones of Stenness. But the Mason's Arms will be better. The Masons are good men, Mother?" "In all their generations, good men. Thy father is a Mason in high standing." "Yes, that is so! Then the Mason's Arms may be lucky to us?"
Cameron confessed to some experience of these thrilling events. "Bless my soul! We will put you against the big folk from the city. Come and show us the hammer," said Mack, leading the way out of the barn, for the rain had ceased, with a big mason's hammer in his hand. It needed but a single throw to make it quite clear to Cameron that Mack was greatly in need of coaching.
No one satisfied with the results. Mrs H came to me in great distress. It seems the larder is empty of chutney, curry and worcestershire sauce and none of these items can be purchased at Fortnum & Mason's or anywhere else. I assured her it was a matter of indifference to me since I did not care particularly for any of these delicacies. Mrs H swept this aside as entirely irrelevant.
