"The Humour of Homer" was originally delivered as a lecture at the Working Men's College in Great Ormond Street on the 30th January, 1892, the day on which Butler first promulgated his theory of the Trapanese origin of the Odyssey in a letter to the Athenaeum. Later in the same year it was published with some additional matter by Messrs. Metcalfe and Co. of Cambridge.
Hewer, of St. Gregory, was beheaded for having intelligence with the King, through the Marquess of Ormond. The parlour window jutted into the square over against the town hall, and Angela could see the whole length of the narrow street along which her father's carriage must come.
And if they end, they end as if the man were burnt out, and was ashes inside; as you see Mr. Stukely Culbrett, all cynicism. You would not now suspect him of a passion! It is true. Oh, I know it! That is what the men go to. The women die. Vera Winter died at twenty-three. Caroline Ormond was hardly older. You know her story; everybody knows it.
"Have you anything in the way of a proposition to make?" asked Black-Tie. Miss De Ormond looked reflectively at the neat toe of one of her dull kid-pumps. "I had a proposal made to me," she said. "If the proposal sticks it cuts out the proposition. Let's have that settled first." "Well, as far as " began Blue-Tie. "Excuse me, cousin," interrupted Black-Tie, "if you don't mind my cutting in."
"Take care you don't set fire to anything with your lamps," said his father. "Mind you don't get oil on your clothes," added Mrs. Ormond. "No fear," answered Guy. "We shall be all right. Will you excuse us, mother?" "Yes. Let me see you're well wrapped up, and don't stay out longer than half an hour." The night was still and dark.
Two events soon happened, one of which cast a damp on all we were doing, and the other rendered vain and fruitless all we had done. The first was the arrival of the Duke of Ormond in France, the other was the death of the King. We had sounded the duke's name high. His reputation and the opinion of his power were great.
George is said to have required the personal service of the duke of Ormond, who excused himself on account of his advanced age; be that as it will, prince Charles departed from Rome about the end of December, in the disguise of a Spanish courier, attended by one servant only, and furnished with passports by cardinal Aquaviva.
Stanihurst wrote his historical tracts, as did Lombard the Catholic and Usher the Protestant Primate, O'Sullivan, White, O'Meara, and almost all the Irish writers of that age, without exception, in the Latin language. The first Latin book printed in Ireland is thought to be O'Meara's poem in praise of Thomas, Earl of Ormond and Ossory, published in 1615.
"You are trooper Ormond, orderly to Colonel Arran?" "Yes." "Colonel Arran desires you to remain here at his orders for the present." "Is Colonel Arran likely to recover, doctor?" "He is in no immediate danger." "May I see him?" "Certainly. He sent for you. Step this way."
"Wonderful better, too, sir; has got up her spirits greatly to-day." "I am very glad to hear it," said Ormond. "Pray, sir, can you tell me whether a servant from Mr. Ormond brought a letter here yesterday?" "He did, sir." "And was there any answer sent?" "I really can't say, sir." "Be so good to take my name to your lady," repeated Ormond.
