Don't buy it if you don't want to, but just listen to a few of the criticisms. "Rather ... rubbish." Spectator "We advise all insomniacs to read Mr. Logroller's soporific pages." Outlook "Rot." Pelican "What do you think of that?" asked the man of ideas. We told him. I found Reggie in the club one Saturday afternoon.
Had the youth assailed Man-not-Afraid-of-Thunder, probably she would have sat an interested spectator of the scene until it became clear which way it was going, when she might have wrapped her baby in bison-skin, placed him carefully away, and taken a part in the struggle. The Osage resumed the deliberate puffing of his pipe, but glanced from one face to the other of the two Shawanoes.
It was evidently a sale of considerable moment, and there were horse-raisers, horse-trainers, jockeys, stable-boys, gentlemen all eager spectators or bidders. Chad edged his way through the outer rim of the crowd and to the edge of the sidewalk, and, when a spectator stepped down from a dry-goods box from which he had been looking on, Chad stepped up and took his place.
He became, thenceforth, not a spectator only, but a chief actor in the poor minister's interior world. He could play upon him as he chose. Would he arouse him with a throb of agony? The victim was for ever on the rack; it needed only to know the spring that controlled the engine: and the physician knew it well. Would he startle him with sudden fear?
The young heiress of seventeen in the "Spectator" has looked upon herself as marriageable "for the last six years."

She adds, "I have a good portion which they cannot hinder me of."
"This man," the physician would say to himself at times, "pure as they deem him, hath inherited a strong animal nature from his father or his mother. Let us dig a little farther in the direction of this vein." Henceforth Roger Chillingworth became not a spectator only, but a chief actor in the poor minister's inner world. And Mr.
We shall have to consider later the relation between what may be called primary and secondary suspense or surprise that is to say between suspense or surprise actually experienced by the spectator to whom the drama is new, and suspense or surprise experienced only sympathetically, on behalf of the characters, by a spectator who knows perfectly what is to follow.
The subject is half ideal, half real. The dead man, and those belonging to him who are no longer of this world, are depicted in the society of the living. They are present, yet aloof. They assist at the banquet, but they do not actually take part in it. Horemheb sits on a folding stool to the left of the spectator.
The pitched battlefields of the campaign were three, Alma, Balaclava, Inkerman. The Alma chapter is the most graphic, for there the fight was concentrated, offering to a spectator by Lord Raglan's side a coup d'oeil of the entire action.
One after another the ordinary poisons were eliminated, until it began to look hopeless. So far Kennedy had been only an interested spectator, but as the different tests failed, he had become more and more keenly alive. At last it seemed as if he could wait no longer. "Might I try one or two reactions with that sample?" he asked of the physician who handed him the test tube in silence.
