Thus we find that from Nestor's lips honey is distilled; and that the words of the Trojan counsellors are compared to the lily, which, if I have not forgotten my Greek, is the name of a flower.

Keladon has obviously the same sense as the Gaelic Altgarbh, "the rough and brawling stream." Iardanus is also a stream in Crete, and Mr. Leaf thinks it Semitic "Yarden, from yarad to flow"; but the Semites did not give the Yar to the Yarrow nor to the Australian Yarra Yarra. While the correct geography may, on this showing, be that of Homer, we cannot give up Homer's claim to Nestor's speech.

He recognized a peculiar put-putter of the motor. "That's the DOT," he remarked in a low voice to Ned, "Miss Nestor's cousin's boat." "Is she in it now?" asked Ned. "Yes," answered Tom quickly. "You've got good eyesight," remarked Ned dryly, "to tell a girl at that distance. It looks to me like a boy."

Thus did he speak and the others all of them applauded his saying, and were for doing as he had said, but Nestor's son Antilochus stood up and claimed his rights from the son of Peleus. "Achilles," said he, "I shall take it much amiss if you do this thing; you would rob me of my prize, because you think Eumelus's chariot and horses were thrown out, and himself too, good man that he is.

Agamemnon's stately behaviour, Menelaus' irritation, Nestor's experience, Ulysses' cunning, are all productive of no effect; when they have at last arranged a single combat between the coarse braggart Ajax and Hector, the latter will not fight in good earnest, as Ajax is his cousin.

"And they're not paying any attention to each other, either." "Something is happening," was Mr. Nestor's opinion. "Those animals are running away from something." "Maybe it's an elephant drive," spoke Tom. "I think " But he did not finish.

But the reading was scarce well over when he said: Well, then, whom shall we cause to rise up and fight against this man, in defence of the philosophers? For I am not of Nestor's opinion, who, when the most valiant of those nine warriors that presented themselves to enter into combat was to be chosen, committed the election to the fortune of a lot.

"I'm afraid you are right." "Does the War department know?" "Certainly." "You found out about it and told Washington by wire?" Frank reached forward and seized Nestor's hand and shook it as if he expected to keep it in his grasp forever. "I know you did," he said. "You needn't say a word." "The War department has the letters," said Nestor, "the letters the diplomat did not secure from Mr. Cameron.

Thus spake he, and straightway arose fleet Aias Oileus' son, and Odysseus of many wiles, and after them Nestor's son Antilochos, for he was best of all the youth in the foot-race. Then they stood side by side, and Achilles showed to them the goal.

The sea-comb's found at Mitylene and Ambracian Charadrus, and I praise Brundisian sargus: take him, if he's big. Know that Tarentum's small sea-boar is prime; The sword-fish at Surrentum thou shouldst buy; Blue fish at Cumae. What! have I passed by Scarus? the brain of Jove is not less sweet. You catch them large and good off Nestor's home.
