Behold what a brilliant drapery is her Woodbine flag! What public-spirited merchant, think you, has contributed this part of the show? There is no handsomer shingling and paint than this vine, at present covering a whole side of some houses. I do not believe that the Ivy never sear is comparable to it. No wonder it has been extensively introduced into London.
"Are back teeth extracted in that way?" "Yes, sir; any kind of a tooth. I've burnt my holler teeth out with a red-hot wire." "Good God!" "Hit's so. The wire'd sizzle like fryin'." "Kill the nerve?" "No; but it'd sear the mar so it wouldn't be so sensitive." "Didn't hurt, eh?" "Hurt like hell for a moment. I held the wire one time for Jim Bob Jimwright, who couldn't reach the spot for hisself.
The long summer evening had served at least to sear, somehow, those two faces upon her mind. It was singular that they should intrude themselves at this moment! She had been thinking, hadn't she, that at this hour she might naturally expect to find Shluker still in his shop? That was why she had come so early since she had not cared to come in full daylight.
Then I thought of a poem that is pure distilled ecstasy to my spirit. I will write it, and be happy again: Sit thee by the ingle, when The sear faggot blazes bright; Spirit of a winter's night! ... Sit thee there, and send abroad, With a mind self-overaw'd, Fancy, high-commission'd: send her!
"Never, never! let them bring scissors, and shear my hair like that of the parish fool, whom I have so richly resembled let them bid the monastery or the grave yawn for me, let them bring red hot basins to sear my eyes axe or aconite whatever they will, but Orleans shall not break his plighted faith to my daughter, or marry another while she lives!"
He was very weak, but succeeded in dragging himself up to his former position, when Isfendiyár, smiling to see them thus, exclaimed: "Is this the valiant Rustem, the renowned, Quitting the field of battle? Where is now The raging tiger, the victorious chief? Was it from thee the Demons shrunk in terror, And did thy burning sword sear out their hearts? What has become of all thy valour now?
Duncan, in turning his eyes from the malign expression of Magua, suffered them to rest with pleasure on the smiling and polished features, and the noble military air, of the French general. "Monsieur," said the latter, "j'ai beaucoup de plaisir a bah! ou est cet interprete?" "Je crois, monsieur, qu'il ne sear pas necessaire," Heyward modestly replied; "je parle un peu francais."
O, Lord John Russell! think of this. Of this Englishman's son, placed by his mother, scarcely weaned, on a high, cold stone, barefooted, before the anvil; there to harden, sear, and blister his young hands by heating and hammering ragged nailrods, for the sustenance those breasts can no longer supply! Lord John! look at those nails, as they lie hissing on the block.
There was no time to reach his rifle. His right hand plunged at his belt, and he drew a long hunting-knife from its sheath, and thrust himself, a shield, before Aim-sa. The cry smote the savage heart of Ralph, smote it with the sear of white-hot iron. A wave of horror passed over him. It was not of his brother he thought, but of the woman he loved.
At another time the heavens are as brass, and the clouds come and go with mockery of unfulfilled promises of rain, the fierce midsummer sun pours its beams upon the sands, and blasts heated in the furnace of the desert sear the vegetation; and the fruits, which in more congenial seasons are subsistence and luxury, shrivel before the eyes of famishing men.
