Here is also a curious Mosaic pavement, and the antiquity of the place is proved incontestably by the many ancient medals and inscriptions which have been found here at different periods. It must, indeed, have been always remarkable as a military position, and it is difficult to imagine one of greater natural strength, or more easily defensible by a small force against superior numbers.
In spite of himself, the poet looks upon Maurice as his superior, and thinks it perfectly natural that he should claim the prettier of the two women. No matter! Amedee wanted to enjoy himself too.
The industrious apprentice had married his master's daughter, fifteen years ago by this time, and Sir James Thornhill had forgotten his wrath and forgiven the young painter who was so immeasurably his superior.
Don't you think it was very English, George?" "I really did not think about it at all. I have had very different things to occupy me," said George, coldly superior to all mothers and Parliaments.
