United States or Vatican City ? Vote for the TOP Country of the Week !
His reply, and the ensuing conversation, are thus reported by Boschini, in curious Italian verse, which, thus translated by Dr. Donaldson, is quoted in Mr. Stirling's Life of Velasquez: "Diego answered thus: 'I saw in Venice The true test of the good and beautiful; First in my judgment, ever stands that school, And Titian first of all Italian men is." "Tizian ze quel die porta la bandiera"
"Speak up loud, sonny," shouted a man far back in the mass, "we all want to hear." Colonel Stirling's voice rang quite clear enough, "Votes be damned!" he said, and turning on his heel, strode back past the sentries. And the strikers knew the fate of their attempt to keep out the scabs. Colonel Stirling's "damn" had damned the strike as well as the votes.
"If he has taken hold, I think he will put it through," she said. She turned away the next moment, and moved a glass on the table; but, when she looked around again, she saw Stirling's smile. "Well," he said, "considering everything, it's quite likely." After this, he carefully picked out another cigar, and Ida left him, wondering what he could have meant.
"That remark," said Weston, "is quite warranted. I have only this to say. When I entered your house half an hour ago I hadn't the faintest notion that I should permit my feelings to run away with me." "Then this thing has been going on for quite a time?" Stirling's tone was coldly even, but Weston did not like the question. The form of it rather jarred on him.
"Well, I do think it ought to be cauterized." She raised her voice slightly as he retreated from her. "And I shall be glad if you'll call in at Dr. Stirling's and ask him to come round." He made no reply, but put on his overcoat and his hat and took his stick. Glancing up the stairs he saw Nellie was now standing at the head of them, under the electric light there, and watching him.
Besides, Stirling was not a native; he was only a Scotchman, and Edward Henry considered that what Stirling thought of the district did not matter. Brindley and the doctor were for ever chattering about books and buying them. So that, on the whole, Dr. Stirling's box was not a place where Edward Henry felt entirely at home. Nevertheless, the two men, having presented Mr.
"As you like," said Stirling, who shortly afterward departed for the city. Mrs. Frisingham was a rich widow and a distant connection of Stirling's. She arrived that day, and on the following day contrived to spend a few minutes alone with Stirling when he came home from business. "I wanted to take Ida back with me, and I'm a little astonished that she won't hear of it," she said.
In fact, he entered the room as though he had left it just on the previous day, and, taking her hand, merely held it for perhaps a second longer than was absolutely necessary. Then he sat down and inquired after her health and Stirling's, at which Ida, who could not help it, laughed.
Stirling's bread was a success, and my chocolate disappeared down the throats of the hearty western boys as fast as its scalding temperature would admit. Stirling told me of his life during the previous winter in the swamps of White River.
A most amusing example of this fashion of dealing with scientific statements is furnished by Dr. Stirling's remarks upon my account of the protoplasm of the nettle hair. That account was drawn up from careful and often- repeated observation of the facts. Dr.
