It had a most cheering effect upon our emunctory woes, and we lingered so long, in a meditative and healing ecstasy, that young women immured in the basement of the aromatic warehouse began to peer upward from the barred windows of their basement and squeak with astonished and nervous mirth. We blew a loud salute and moved away.
"Done." "Five and thirty ponies to one against Phosphorus," shouted a little man vociferously and repeatedly. "I will give forty," said Lord Milford. No answer, nothing done. "Forty to one!" murmured Egremont who stood against Phosphorus. A little nervous, he said to the peer in the white great coat, "Don't you think that Phosphorus may after all have some chance?"
Of course the position of the barrack is a mere accident, yet it gives an air of power and authority the place is really as open, the beautiful park as common and accessible as the hill-top under the sky. A peer only at Westminster, here he is a prince, whose dominions are almost co-extensive with the horizon; and this, the capital city, is for the most part his.
Brantome poised his hands above the keyboard, leaned forward to peer at a legend scrawled faintly in the corner of the page, then, turning round on the piano bench, cast at Lilla: "Rose-covered Cypresses."

He seemed to have no sense that the Universe was equally compounded of those two symbols, whose point of reconciliation had not yet been discovered. Such was he, then, when the Member for his native division was made a peer.

Thy comrade even now was slain, and Hector goeth proudly, wearing on his own shoulders the armour of Aiakides." And Automedon son of Diores answered him, saying: "Alkimedon, what other Achaian hath like skill to guide the spirit of immortal steeds, save only Patroklos, peer of gods in counsel, while he yet lived? but now have death and fate overtaken him.
