As it was, they were carried so swiftly, and so high, and the seats swung to and fro so violently when the machine was in rapid motion, that the men and girls who were in the seats filled the ear with their screams and shouts of laughter. Rollo and Carlos, after seeing this machine revolve, went to the carriage to ask if they might go in it the next time. "No," said Mr. Holiday.
"I cannot tell you a story very well, this morning, but I can give you a lecture on playthings, if you wish." "Very well, mother, we should like that," said the boys. They did not know very well what a lecture was, but they thought that any thing which their mother would propose would be interesting. "Do you know what a lecture is?" said she. "Not exactly," said Rollo.
When some of the French nobles informed him, that in return for so generous a present it was expected that he should throw himself at the king's feet and make suitable acknowledgments for his bounty, Rollo replied, that he would rather decline the present; and it was with some difficulty they could persuade him to make that compliment by one of his captains.
Jane and Rollo both said to Alfred that they were very much obliged to him, and then, observing that nearly all the passengers had left the dining saloon and had returned to the cabin, they determined to go too. So they went back through the same passage way by which they had come. There were two principal cabins in the ship, the ladies' cabin and the gentlemen's cabin.
He was sorry that there was not time for a paper on "The New Boy" and a discussion of the question, "Are not the Young Growing Younger?" He said he had seen some dangerous tendencies in that direction. Having said this, Rollo walked to the other side of the room, and having found a settee, sat down on it. Scarcely had Rollo sat down when Miss Muffet saw a little girl whose face was very familiar.
Bartholomew; a Madonna and child, from Fra Bartholomeo, at which they were all content to look silently. Rollo began to talk, then, instead of asking questions, and made himself very interesting. So much he knew of art matters, so many a story and legend he could tell about the masters, and so well he could help the less initiated to enjoy and understand the work.
Before the church was an immense portico, supported by columns. The columns, and the whole entablature which they supported, were darkened by time, and cracked, and chipped, and broken in the most remarkable manner. Allie and Charles stood under the portico and looked around, while Rollo paid the coachman.
Jonas looked out upon the water, and up to the sky, and he listened to hear the moaning of the wind upon the tops of the trees. He wanted very much to persevere in his effort to find the carpenter; but then, on the other hand, he was not sure that it was quite safe to take Rollo out upon the water at such a time. He sat upon a log upon the shore a few minutes, and seemed lost in thought.
Then she took a fine thread, and tied this little tuft of down to the end of it. Then she took up the thread by the other end, and handed it to Rollo. "There, Rollo," said she. "Now, do you remember what your father told you, the other day, about the effect of heat upon air?" "It makes it light," said Rollo. "And why does it make it light?" asked his mother.
Not so the 'Tried and Proven'. Love might tug and tug again, but never more should the trousers of passion break away from the tough, masterful braces of self-control. As Mr Galloway had been in this frame of mind for a matter of eleven years, it seemed to Rollo not unreasonable to hope that he might continue in it permanently.
