Starling's Josiah and reaches me the invitation. 'There! says I; 'if he ain't a goin' to have Diana Starling! I was beat." "I daresay you could have fitted him just as well," remarked Mrs. Starling. "Wall, I don't know. I was thinkin', but I guess it's as well not to say now what I was thinkin'." "That's so!" assented Miss Barry.
"Are you going to be married in a black gown?" "Black! No; but I do not care what kind of a gown it is, further than that." "I don't think you care much about the whole thing," said Mrs. Starling, looking at her. "If I was you, I wouldn't be married just to please somebody else, without it pleased myself too. That's what I think." Poor Diana thought of Mr.
I saw Starling Hutto, of Company H, a boy of sixteen, on the top of the breastworks, firing his musket at the enemy a few yards off with the coolness of a veteran. As soon as I reached him I dragged him down by his coat tail and ordered him to shoot from the banquette.
I do not remember having seen the birds at Murree, Mussoorie, or Naini Tal, but they are common at Almora in summer. Is it necessary to describe the starling? Does an Englishman exist who is not well acquainted with the vivacious bird which makes itself at home in his garden or on his housetop in England?
Starling said afterwards; he had taken his part in the actual nursing, and better than anybody, Diana thought. Now the two stood silent and grave by the long table, while they still kept up the application of brandy to the face and heat to the extremities, and rubbing the hands and wrists of the patient. "Did you know Miss Delamater well?" asked the minister.
Trunk, he who had never known a rival near his throne, felt deeply the slight cast upon him, and vowed to be revenged on his sable adversary. He talked of his grievance to old Mr. Parrot, till that worthy felt as indignant as his friend; but, as he could suggest no method of vengeance, Mr. Trunk called to his counsel, the celebrated City conveyancer, Mr. Starling. "You see, sir," said old Mr.

It is impossible but many of my readers must have heard of him; and if any by mere chance have ever seen him, I beg leave to inform them, that that bird was my bird, or some vile copy set up to represent him. I have nothing farther to add upon him, but that from that time to this I have borne this poor starling as the crest to my arms.
He would give me no solid food, but dosed me with brewed herbs and great draughts of steaming broth. The juggler looked into the lodge and would have tried his charms on me, but Outchipouac sent him away. A storm rose toward night, and I heard the knocking of the rain on the skin roof above me, and thought of the woman traveling northward in the Iroquois canoes. Starling was with her.
Her political creed, for the present, is limited to that of Sterne's starling in the cage, "I can't get out." If she is supposed to have any common-sense at all, she will best show it by beginning at the point where she is, instead of at the point where somebody else is.
