"Accept my congratulations," said the burgomaster's wife. "But what will now become of your motto: 'Ante omnia Musae?" "I shall change the words a little and say: 'Omnia ante Musas."
"Musa, amuse," she repeated after me on this occasion. "Musae, of a muse," I continued. "Of amuse! There's no sense in that, my dearie," said Mrs. Bundle; and as my ideas were not very well defined on the subject of the muses, and as Mrs.
There were eighteen, and the moths had got into them, so that the draught under the door puffed little drifts of hair over the polished boards. Then he settled down to the first Latin declension Musa, a muse; vocative, Musa, O muse!; genitive, Musae, of a muse. Honoria began upon the ABC. Mr.
