Moulder. If I know anything of my own profession " "Humph!" ejaculated Moulder. "And I shouldn't be here in such a case as this if I didn't; but if I do, Lady Mason has no more chance of escape than than than that bit of muffin has." And as he spoke the savoury morsel in question disappeared from the fingers of the commercial traveller. For a moment or two Moulder could not answer him.
When she marked my presence she forgot to greet me, and cried to me well nigh breathless: "A drink of wine, Margery, and a morsel of bread. I am ready to split I shall die of laughing!" Then, when I heard my good Godfather Christian's hearty laughing, and saw that Master Holzschuher had but just ceased, I was fain to laugh likewise, and even Ann, albeit she had but now been so sad, joined in.
Revenge itself, which the gods are said to reserve to themselves, doubtless because they envy humanity so sweet a morsel revenge itself is to be bought by it. But it is also to be won by superior skill, and that is the nobler mode of reaching it.
He keeps his feet upon the rail before him in true republican style, and rolls a morsel of tobacco under his tongue. The military commission works as if it were delegated not to try, but to convict, and Dr. Mudd, if he be innocent, is in only less danger than if he were guilty.
Every day of my life," he continues, "is a day of expectation, and, consequently, a day of disappointment; whether I shall have a morsel of bread to eat at the end of two months, is as much an uncertainty as it was fourteen months ago, and not more so."
Where did you go with her that day, Azalea?" "Nowhere in particular. Just for a walk in the country. I mean I walked. Baby rode in her coach." "But you went somewhere. Nurse Winnie insists you gave the child some soothing syrup, or whatever they call it." "What! I did nothing of the sort! Why, Elise, I wouldn't do such a thing! I love that kiddy! I wouldn't give her a morsel to eat or drink.
It is no small task, let me say, to keep watch of an atom an inch or two long, to whom any leaf is ample screen, to note every movement lest he slip out of sight, and to make memorandum of each morsel of food he gets. There were, also, of course, the most seductive sounds about me; never so many birds came near.
The morsel I had thrown to the wolves, had delayed them longer than I might have supposed. The brutes having stopped to quarrel over it, had furiously attacked each other, so that we were already a considerable distance beyond the buffalo before they reached it.
Well, well! och, och! no matther! So, sir, one story an' one pull from the bottle, brought on another, for divil a glass we had at all, sir. Faix, he's a tindher-hearted boy, anyhow; for as myself I begun to let the tears down, whin the bottle was near out, divil resave the morsel of him but cried afther poor Ellish, as if she had been his mother. Faix, he did!
"You charming little fools," he said, "I don't cut into cataracts in such a hurry as that. I perform but one operations on you to-day. It is this!" He unceremoniously popped the morsel of chicken into Lucilla's mouth. "Aha! Bite him well. He is nice-goot! Now then! Sit down all of you. Lonch! lonch!" He was irresistible. We all sat down at table. The rest of us ate. Herr Grosse gobbled.
