Still, I knew that they were blessed with visions; but that live saints should sit below their seat, I dreamt not!" and so he went on staring at me. So the bishop, for all his trouble, could but smile, and asked him if he saw a vision. "Surely," he said, "this is the saint who stayed us on yonder hill." "Nay, that is Heregar the Thane, messenger of Osric."
Religious persecution today is just as active as it was during the Middle Ages. Surely, a man is not burned at the stake for his scepticism in this age; but is he not done to death? If the grocer, the butcher, the doctor, the lawyer, the scholar, the business man, were to boldly announce his scepticism, what would happen to him? The answer is well known to all.
"It isn't possible," said the goosey-gander, meditatively, "that you wild geese can be afraid of anyone who is so tiny! By to-morrow, of course, he'll turn back home. You can surely let him stay with us overnight. None of us can afford to let such a poor little creature wander off by himself in the night among weasels and foxes!" The wild goose came nearer.
Surely we are nothing else than the scribes and Pharisees, who sit in Moses' seat, and who have taken the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and will neither go in ourselves, nor permit others to go in. Surely we, the high priests of science and art, are ourselves worthless deceivers, possessing much less right to our position than the most crafty and depraved priests.
"Surely it is not so very difficult to find, now that you have been told of its existence?" "Oh, I'll find it, never fear, young woman!" I answered; "but I confess that it is so ingeniously concealed that I doubt whether anyone ignorant of its existence would find it, except by the most extraordinary accident."
"But why more on a Sunday than any other day?" said the captain. "Why?" said Neptune, "why, because she'd been keeping Saturday night, to be sure; besides, she has less to do of a Sunday, and more time to think of her sins, and do penance." "But you would not have a prince strike a lady, surely?"
Before we begin housekeeping in the summer, I want to learn all I possibly can about George's affairs. He won't talk to me about practical matters, so you must do it." "But where are you going, Gabriella? I thought you had decided to live with us?" "But didn't George tell you? Surely he must have told you. We are to take an apartment in June so my mother can come to us.
"Yes," her companion replied, "he surely does look like a desperate character. Wasn't it awful for him to kill that poor old man?" Jasper's face was really hard and stern; how could it have been otherwise? Where was all their Christian charity? he asked himself. Where was the spirit of justice?
That will be lovely!" she said. "Most interesting! I shall come with a perfectly open mind." Georgie scarcely lamented the annihilation of a mystery. He must surely have imagined the mystery, for it all collapsed like a card-house, if the Princess was coming back. The seances had been most remarkable, too; and he would have to get out his planchette again.
Whatever was thought, what the king said was as direct in utterance as it was in observation. "If Uail the son of Baiscne has a son," said the king, "you would surely be that son." We are not told if the King of Finntraigh said anything more, but we know that Fionn left his service soon afterwards.
