An insolent warrior named Pharus was defying the hero from a short distance with taunting speech, when he hurled a javelin, which struck the boaster full in the mouth, and transfixing the throat, silenced him forever. Now a band of seven brothers, the sons of Phorcus, all at once attacked Æneas with darts, throwing them together.

Apart from certain fundamental rules for managing the pedals, no pedagogic regulations should ever be made for the more refined nuanciren. The portraits of Chopin differ widely. There is the Ary Scheffer, the Vigneron praised by Mathias the Bovy medallion, the Duval drawing, and the head by Kwiatowski.

And now, as we stand on the boundary line, their bronzed and bared throats are again subjected to this highly expressive treatment; and transfixing me with a penetrating stare, as though eager to read in my face some responsive sign of fear or apprehension, the khan repeats with emphasis: "Bur-raa-ther, Afghanistan."

"Just as I was leaving the room, an old officer took me by the shoulder, and said, transfixing me with a grave, powerful eye: "'Young man, if you had known what you were about, you would have broken the banque.

"Hallo, Nat!" said Uncle Joseph. "Why, what's that a crossbow?" "Yes, uncle; isn't it a beauty?"

To the disenchanted eye all things were as they were on all other dullish days of summer, even to the accustomed bore leaning up against his favorite desk and transfixing his habitual victim with his usual theme. Yet to the gaze of this pleasure-taker all was subtly changed, and he shook hands right and left as he entered, to the marked surprise of the objects of his effusion.

It was a dead voice, toneless, emotionless, mechanical. "Are you there, Judd?" it went on, over and over.

The switch went over with a click. Trembling, Sako faced the microphone. "This is Sako," he said.

Biffi of Milan describes the case of a lunatic who died in consequence of gangrene of the tongue from a bite in a paroxysm of mania. At the necropsy a needle, six cm. in length, was found transfixing the heart, with which the relatives of the deceased said he had stabbed himself twenty-two months prior to his death.

The Saxons slew them without mercy, cutting down some as they were running before them in their headlong flight, and transfixing others with their spears and arrows as they lay upon the ground, trampled down by the crowds and the confusion.
