"Just look at those people. They look as if they were playing at the bottom of thirty fathoms of water." "It's because the top lights are not lit." "Not a bit of it. This theatre always looks as if it were at the bottom of the sea. And to think that I, too, in a moment, have to enter that aquarium. Nanteuil, you must not stop longer than one season in this theatre. One is drowned in it.
As I have sent people to their voting-places, they intend to make the change on the road, taking the returns from the messengers and giving them forged ones instead. I want twenty or thirty reliable men to send, four by four, to accompany the messengers that come with the returns, or else to carry them themselves." "All right, I will get them for you," said Uncle Chinaman.
"Very well, you may stay," he replied gloomily. Frau Schimmel, who had been in the room for some time, turned to the notary and said: "The Court apothecary used to say that I was stupid, but thirty years ago I foretold what has happened here today." She then implored Zeno to throw the elixir into the Pleisse, but for the first time he exhibited a will of his own.
Just thirty years were to elapse and the sack of Magdeburg was to prove a match and more than a match for both in horror and cruelty.

History has taken pains to record that he died an atheist, that is, a materialist. The Marquise d'Entragues was over eighty when she died. The famous Comte de Saint-Germain, who made so much noise under Louis XIV., was a pupil of Lorenzo and Cosmo Ruggiero. This celebrated alchemist lived to be one hundred and thirty years old, an age which some biographers give to Marion de Lorme.
The Czar was at the head of sixty thousand men: he lost more than thirty thousand on the Pruth, the rest were dying of hunger and misery; and he, without any resources, could scarcely avoid surrendering himself and his forces to the Turks.
Scarcely more than thirty years of age, with a clean-shaven, boyish face, short and slender in build, if one met him casually among a lot of other officers it would not have been easy to single him out as the great power among the Arabs that he on every occasion proved himself to be.
When our aircraft reconnoitred the ground about the middle of December, they discovered that for some unknown reason the enemy had departed bag and baggage in the night, and the cavalry, after a terrible march of nearly thirty miles, had nothing to do but walk in and take possession.
If one could have before him a set of photographs taken annually, representing the same person as he or she appeared for thirty or forty or fifty years, it would be interesting to watch the gradual changes of aspect from the age of twenty, or even of thirty or forty, to that of threescore and ten.
White Pigeon was past thirty. We took the stage that morning at nine o'clock for Keswick. The stage started from the Red Lion Inn. It is a great event the starting of a four-horse stage. The guests came out, and so did the boots, and chamber-maids and waiters, and the cook came also.
