This, as has been already remarked, offers a striking resemblance to that of the Old Latin, and cannot be later than the middle or close of the second century. It would be difficult to point out a more interesting subject for criticism than the respective relations of the Old Latin and Syriac Versions to the Latin and Syriac Vulgates. Bleek, Einleitung, p. 735; Reuss, Gesch. N.T. p. 447.
"Count von Reuss slay me! I could eat him up without salt or savory a weak reed, a kerl without backbone save of buckram; why, I will shake him this day like a rat between my hands!" So I spoke in my anger, hot with myself that I had let the Little Playmate suffer these things, and resolved that neither Prince nor Princess would stand between me and my love a moment longer.
This crude view has long since been set aside. A map of the plateaus of northern Arizona shows how independent of the immense faults of the region is the course of the Colorado River. In the Alps the tunnels on the Saint Gotthard railway pass six times beneath the gorge of the Reuss, but at no point do the rocks show the slightest trace of a fault.
She is a woman now, with keen susceptibilities as little a woman to be trifled with in her way as Emily de Reuss herself." The two men faced one another. Douglas was angry with Drexley, angry too with himself. "I believe you're right, Drexley," he said, with an effort, "but I'm hanged if I see what business it is of yours."
The flat of the valley, with the Reuss making a bald and colourless way through the midst of it, is nearly treeless, and it is too uniform to be very pleasing. In winter the climate is most rigorous, for the level is high, and the surrounding hills admit the sun's rays late and cut them off early.
The old woman hesitated. Friar Laurence stooped again. "Yes!" she cried; "God forgive me yes!" An evil look of triumph sat on the face of Otho von Reuss. I think he felt sure of his victim now. "That is enough," said Master Gerard. "Take the old woman back to her cell." "Oh no, great Lord!" she cried, "not there! You promised that if I said it I was to be let go free.
Next day he marched the whole of his troops against this handful of brave men, but the sky clouded over and the wind. blew a bitter rain into the faces of the Russians; the French profited by this circumstance to beat a retreat, evacuating the valley of Ursern, crossing the Reuss, and taking up their position on the heights of the Furka and Grimsel.
"I still do not see," she said, "in what way I am concerned in this." "It was your fellow-passenger, Countess, not yourself, concerning whom we were curious. We hoped that you might be able to give us some information. We understood that he joined the train hurriedly. If you like I will read you a description of Douglas Guest." Emily de Reuss looked him in the face and shrugged her shoulders.
Who will restore our uncle? And the Emperor, my beloved, fatherly master, dying of grief! Our Hartmann dead! Washed away like a dry branch which the swift Reuss seizes and hurries out of our sight! Too much, too hard, too terrible! Yet the sun shines as brightly as before! The children in the street below laugh as merrily as ever!"
I thought it was as well to take the high hand at once, especially since I saw that humility would avail us nothing at any rate. "Before now I have seen Otho von Reuss in hostile territory, and a right cowed traitor he looked!" said I, boldly. The Duke smiled upon me, like a man that has a complete retort on his tongue but who is content for the present to reserve it.
