"Right, sir!" said Amyas. "For my part, let my Virginian goods rot on the quay, if the worst comes to the worst. I begin unloading the Vengeance to-morrow; and to sea as soon as I can fill up my crew to a good fighting number."
You've heard only his side his lies about me!" "Whose lies? Speak out!" "His Blake's! The big brute took me by surprise half murdered me. He came here, drunk or crazy, I don't know which. Pretended the bridge was in danger." "Pretended? Isn't it?" "All rot! Not a bit of it!" "What!" "I tell you, it's all a put-up job a frame-up. The brute thought he'd get in with you again you and Genevieve.
The gray rot, or so-called grape cholera, generally follows the mildew, and I think that the latter is the principal cause of it, as I have generally found it on berries whose stems have been injured by the mildew. The berry first shows a sort of gray marbling; in a day or two it turns to a grayish-blue color, and finally withers and drops from the bunch.
Mike, as an actual spectator of the drama, was in great request as an informant. As he told the story to a group of sympathisers outside the school shop, Burgess came up, his eyes rolling in a fine frenzy. "Anybody seen young oh, here you are. What's all this about Jimmy Wyatt? They're saying he's been sacked, or some rot." "So he has at least, he's got to leave." "What? When?"
Noah was drunken; Lot lay with his daughters; David killed Uriah; Peter cursed and swore in the garden, and also dissembled at Antioch. But this is not recorded to the intent that the name of these godly should rot, but to show that the best men are nothing without grace, and that "he that standeth should not be high-minded, but fear."
He might just as well loiter in an area on a barrel and smoke a furtive cigar when he ought to be "on post." Perhaps he might better "stand in" with those who would inevitably be preferred to him by a jury of their peers. What must have been the effect on the court officers, the witnesses, the defendants out on bail, the complainants, the spectators? That the whole business was nonsense and rot!
It is in and through such that we get glimpses, down the gulf of a moral volcano, to the infernal possibilities of the human the lawless rot of that which, in its attainable idea, is nothing less than divine, imagined, foreseen, cherished, and labored for, by the Father of the human.
I wonder how he'll feel about seeing you. Oh, I don't mean any sentimental rot, of course... but you're an uncommonly agreeable woman. I daresay he'll be pleased to see you again; you're fifty times more attractive than when I married you. Isabel. I wish your other investments had appreciated at the same rate. Unfortunately my charms won't pay the butcher. Warland. Damn the butcher! Isabel.
He was gazing drearily upon the place where she had been, when Redlaw came out of his concealment, and came to the door. "When sickness lays its hand on you again," he said, looking fiercely back at him, " may it be soon! Die here! Rot here!" "What have you done?" returned the other, catching at his cloak. "What change have you wrought in me? What curse have you brought upon me?
In order to secure a good crop, it is necessary that the ground should be well manured with lupins, which are either grown for this single purpose the year before, and left to rot, or boiled to prevent their germination, and then scattered over the field. The Grand Turk commonly carries but one head on his shoulders, but occasionally we have remarked two or more on the same stem.
