This I did to see if I could find some curious shell or other object that would be worth carrying back with me something to keep as a memento of this great and hitherto pleasant excursion. It was not such an easy matter getting about; more difficult than I had imagined. I have said the stones were coated over with a slimy substance, and this made them slippery too.
To Von Plaanden's indignant disgust, his military splendor was seriously impaired by a huge "hickey" over his left eye, the memento of a well-aimed rock. Cluff had broken a finger and sprained his wrist. Mr. Brewster was anxious to know if any one had seen two teeth of his on the pavement or whether he was to look for later digestive indications of their whereabouts.
"It's an extraordinary thing, isn't it?" repeated Edward Hines, full of self-esteem. "I can't make out the women at all; they're always giving me presents. Look at that picture-frame. I got that from a girl I had only seen three times and it's solid silver," he added. I glanced at the memento indicated, and observed that it contained a photograph of Mr.
"Not one that I value half as much," she answered, taking it from him, and breathing on the crushed leaves, to restore their freshness; "I have reared it with much care, from a stock which I brought from Northumberland; and it has now blossomed for the first time a memento of many happy days."
One fine day, then, Stefan Finkenbein disappeared without any flourish of trumpets from the town and the district. He took for his journey his tall, stiff hat, and left behind as a sole memento his old woolen cap which was almost falling to pieces. The officials instituted a small and considerate investigation.
Rising from a green eminence gently sloping to the lake, the stately pile cast its shadow far and dark over the beautiful waters; by its side, from the high and wooded mountains on the background, broke a waterfall, in irregular and sinuous course now hid by the foliage, now gleaming in the light, and collecting itself at last in a broad basin beside which a little fountain, inscribed with half-obliterated letters, attested the departed elegance of the classic age some memento of lord and poet whose very names were lost; thence descending through mosses and lichen, and odorous herbs, a brief, sheeted stream bore its surplus into the lake.
The bearing therefore of testimony, where it is conscientiously done, is the parent, as it is also the bulwark and guardian of reasoning upon principle. It throws out a memento whenever it is practised, and habituates the subject of it to reason in this manner.
Piotr's smiling wife, who was small, like most Russian peasant women, had baked us some half-rye, half-wheat bread, to our order; she made it remarkably well, much better than Osip. We secured a more lasting memento of her handiwork in the form of some towel ends, which she had spun, woven, drawn, and worked very prettily.
"You mean your government has seen the thing, and sent you to confront me with it?" It was Grim's turn to laugh, and he was jubilant without a trace of bitterness. "No. The chief and I have risked our jobs by not reporting it. This visit is strictly unofficial." Feisul handed the letter back to him, and it was Grim who struck a match and burned it, after tearing off the seal for a memento.
Myself and I have lived so long together that I desire a little memento of the acquaintance." "You can afford to speak lightly of what is so precious to others," said Gouache, gallantly. Madame d'Aranjuez sank into the carved chair Orsino had occupied. "This dear Gouache he is charming, is he not?" she said with a little laugh. Orsino looked at her.
