If when that day comes you are reduced to poverty, or if your honor is in question, my child, send for Monsieur de Solis, should he be living, if not, for his nephew, our good Emmanuel; they hold one hundred and seventy thousand francs which are yours and will enable you to live.
You will be obliged to sue your father. The suit can't be long, but it will be dishonorable. Monsieur Conyncks has no alternative but to institute proceedings; the law requires it. This is the result of your obstinacy. Do you now see my prudence, and how devoted I was to your interests?" "I bring you some good news, mademoiselle," said young de Solis in his gentle voice.
Numa, however, adopted 355 days for his year, from his partiality to odd numbers. The intercalations were generally made in the month of February, after the 23d of the month. The management was left to the pontiffs ad metam eandem solis unde orsi essent dies congruerent; "that the days might correspond to the same starting-point of the sun in the heavens whence they had set out."
We give the Latin names with the modern French and over against them the English, in which the names of the German gods appear more clearly than in modern German: Dies Solis, the Sun's day=Sunday. In German this is Donnerstag, the day of Donar=Thor. Dies Saturni retains the Latin god's name in our Saturday.
For this the Spanish government, in 1514, gave secret orders to D'Avilla, Governor of Castila del Oro, and to Juan de Solis, the navigator, to determine whether Castila del Oro were an island, and to send to Cuba a chart of the coast, if any strait were possible. For this, De Solis visited Nicaragua and Honduras; and later, led far to the south, perished in the La Plata.
Next day and the rest of the week Florent Guillaume, for he could never light on his fat friend again nor yet any other good pilgrim with a well-lined travelling wallet, fasted a solis ortu usque ad occasum, from rising sun to dewy eve. Marguerite the lace-maker did likewise. This was very meet and right, seeing the time was Holy Week.
Projection awaits him; the elements are here, commingling in balneo Mariae; already Rosa Solis lends its generative warmth; already hath Leo Rubeus wooed and won his lily bride; already hath the tincture headed up royally in ruby and in purple, and sublimed, and gone through the entire circle of embryonic processes: quick! there lacks but the one element; in with it, and we are masters of the Life-Secret, of wealth, and power, and all else the world can bestow, ay, and we can give back to the world all it asks!
A hole amid a debris of crumbling stone offered a refuge of safety. "Hello, partner!" "Luis, how are you!" "The horse threw me. They fell upon me. Then they took my gun away. You see, they thought I was dead. There was nothing I could do!" Luis Cervantes explained apologetically. Then: "Nobody threw me down," Solis said. "I'm here because I like to play safe."
Such was the opinion of some of the ancient sun-worshippers, whose adorations were always performed in the open air, because they thought no temple was spacious enough to contain the sun; and hence the saying, "Mundus universus est templum solis" the universe is the temple of the sun. Like our ancient brethren, they worshipped only on the highest hills. Another analogy.
Emmanuel de Solis, who was now principal of the college-school in Douai, thanks to the influence of his uncle and to his own merits which made him worthy of the post, came every evening to see the two young girls, who called the old duenna into the parlor as soon as their father had gone to bed. Emmanuel's gentle rap at the street-door was never missing.
