Then the elecampane wine did good service; yet was it not till she had drunk of it many times that her tongue spoke plainly again. And presently, when she was able to wag it, it went on for a long time with no pause nor rest, in sheer impatience and godless railing.
"Oh, Arnold, darling, how could you, how could you frighten me so?" The child began to cry, because it was reproved, because its pleasure was stopped, and because Cousin Laura, pale and white, held to the railing of the piazza for support. But the mamma came out, Laura was lifted in, the boy was scolded, the windows were shut, and there was the end. Arnold sat by the window, thinking.
One of the former, with whom Nan had attended high school, came over to the railing and, without extending a greeting, either of word or smile, asked, in businesslike tones, "Whom do you wish to see?" In direct contrast with this cool salutation, Nan inclined her head graciously and smilingly said: "Why, how do you do, Hetty? I wonder if I might be permitted a minute of Mr. Daney's time."
After their death we would rear them great monuments, and then devote ourselves to railing at Timothy because he was not more like what we imagine Paul was. Even Socrates found that he must bid farewell to what men count honors, if he would follow after truth. You may have the same experience. You will have to champion many an unpopular cause, and your people will not like it.
The hall, like that of many of the great town-houses, was in semi-darkness, but I remarked that the stair railing was of costly iron-work and polished brass; and, as I went up, that the stone niches in the wall were filled with the busts of statesmen, and I recognized among these, that of the great Walpole. A great copper gilt chandelier hung above.
A stout cedar post, firmly fixed in the extremity of the walls, formed a rude barricade against the abyss of unknown depth that yawned a few yards away from where they sat. This railing and the sword were the only evidences of man's possession, save for the ladder that would presently be carried back to the cove.
Hale had risen early, as everyone must if he would get his breakfast in the mountains, even in the hotels in the county seats, and he sat with his feet on the railing of the hotel porch which fronted the main street of the town.
I am not very well, and prefer remaining in my own room." From the foot of the stairs, Mr. Palma's voice responded: "Fresh air will benefit you. I insist upon your coming immediately." She leaned over the railing, and saw him buttoning his overcoat. "Please, Mr. Palma, excuse me to-day." "Pardon me, I cannot. The carriage is waiting."
She could not go down the back stairs, because, as has been said, she could have been seen from the parlor; but a carpenter had been mending the railing of a little piazza at the back of the house, and she remembered he had left his ladder. Down this ladder, with her bag in her hand, Miss Port silently moved.
Louis waved him impatiently aside, and leaning over the railing, spoke: "My Lord Constable, and you, brave soldiers, the King of France thanks you for your gift. Victory was indeed assured you by the justice of our cause. My Lord of Montcorbier, you may promise these brave fellows that their sovereign will remember them."
