Clair, who, lying on a blanket, was dusting every minute particle of dried mud from his uniform. "It seems to soften the sounds of all those guns and they must be a couple of hundred at least. It produces a kind of harmony." "It's the old god Vulcan and a thousand assistants of his hammering away on their anvils," said Harry, "and they hammer out a regular tune."
The Von der Ruyslings live there yet, and they received the first key ever made to Gramercy Park. You shall have no description of Alice v. d. R. Just call up in your mind the picture of your own Maggie or Vera or Beatrice, straighten her nose, soften her voice, tone her down and then tone her up, make her beautiful and unattainable and you have a faint dry-point etching of Alice.
In sunshine and shade the sides of the street approach in an unvarying ratio; a cloud goes over, and the lines do not soften; brilliant light succeeds, and is merely light no effect accompanies it. The architecture conquers, and is always architecture; it resists the sun, the air, the rain, being without expression. The geometry of the street can never be forgotten.
When Sancho heard his master's words he began to weep in the most pathetic way, saying: "Senor, I know not why your worship wants to attempt this so dreadful adventure; it is night now, no one sees us here, we can easily turn about and take ourselves out of danger, even if we don't drink for three days to come; and as there is no one to see us, all the less will there be anyone to set us down as cowards; besides, I have many a time heard the curate of our village, whom your worship knows well, preach that he who seeks danger perishes in it; so it is not right to tempt God by trying so tremendous a feat from which there can be no escape save by a miracle, and Heaven has performed enough of them for your worship in delivering you from being blanketed as I was, and bringing you out victorious and safe and sound from among all those enemies that were with the dead man; and if all this does not move or soften that hard heart, let this thought and reflection move it, that you will have hardly quitted this spot when from pure fear I shall yield my soul up to anyone that will take it.
'She is a little too sad and quiet for Jill's taste, I continued, 'and she is also somewhat reserved in manner, but when she likes a person thoroughly she is charming. I went on a little longer in this strain, until I had thoroughly vindicated my favourite from Jill's aspersion. 'You are very fond of her, Ursula: your eyes soften as you talk of her. I should like to see this wonderful Gladys.
He's a very bad, worldly man; and if you can soften his heart, it will be the best thing for all of us." "And it won't make any difference in our relationship?" he asked. "In our relationship?" she repeated; and then, "Not in the least. But mind, of course, don't say anything about that to him. Don't give him any idea that you know me!" "Of course not, Miss Gladys."
In vain did the prince try to soften her, and make her consider that my influence over the king was immense: he preached to the desert, and was compelled to abandon his purpose without getting any thing by his endeavors. I now return to my conversation with him.
The walnuts will be fit for use in about six months; but if closely covered, they will be good for several years: the air will soften them. The pickle will be equal to ketchup, when the walnuts are used. Another way. Put the walnuts into a jar, cover them with the best vinegar cold, and let them stand four months.
And again he tried to soften down my dismissal. "Well, well," he said. "But if you should happen to be in these parts any time, you know where to find me. We've all but finished now for this year there's been too much drought just lately." Fruen was still holding the letter. Then I saw she had finished reading, for her eyes never moved; but she stood there, staring at the letter, thinking.
The text may express the rooted dislike to the thought and the fact of punishment as an element in divine government. This is a common phase of feeling always, and especially so now. There is a present tendency, good in many aspects, but excessive, to soften away the thought of punishment; or to suppose that God's punishments must have the same purposes as men's.
