Borers riddled the pages of his books; and the white ant, as greedy for wood pulp as a paper baron, was constantly sapping and mining the underpinnings of his house. Touching on the climate his tone was most rebellious. By all accounts the weather was rarely what one born in Vermont would regard as seasonable weather.

They came slowly at first Wickersham's logs thudding heavily, one by one, into the underpinnings of the bridge, sliding free or lodging cross-current as the case might be; then in a thicker and thicker tide that ground and up-ended and settled with the weight of the coffee-colored flood behind it.

If he were taken from it, the underpinnings of that town would be knocked away, and it would fall flat." "Last fall, I think, I heard he had a plan for enforcing compulsory education in Pennsylvania?" "Well, yes. I don't know why that didn't pass. It died out. Van Ness was trying, too, to establish a grand scheme for the benefit of the mining population. But somehow I haven't heard of that lately.

"I think I can trust Tom and Jim till I get back; but I don't understand what underpinnings are." "You will learn that by and by. Now run and ask Nurse to dress Winnie, for I see Mike has the carriage out."

If the dear Christ's throne stood on any such flimsy basis of prophecy as men have built up beneath it, then, when the underpinnings came tumbling out, as to-day they are doing, we might fear that His authority was dropping in with them; that no longer we were to call Him Master and King; that criticism had pronounced His decheance.

Something boyish and innocent told that the shades of the prison-house had never wholly closed about him. It was good to lift the hat to Dr. Gillespie as he went along hat a little tip-tilted off the broadly-furrowed brow. In the city he is very likely to stop and regard the most various wares children's dolls or ladies' underpinnings. But think not that the divine is interested in such things.

By the time he was satisfied of the integrity of the underpinnings it was time for us to go; and all that I got was a friendly wave of the hand a master craftsman's sign, you might call it. Canada seems full of this class of materialist. Which reminds me that the other day I saw the Lady herself in the shape of a tall woman of twenty-five or six, waiting for her tram on a street corner.

The monetary union in the USA the US dollar as a single legal tender printed exclusively by a central monetary authority is, therefore, a fairly recent thing, not much older than the euro. It is common to confuse the logistics of a monetary union with its underpinnings. European bigwigs gloated over the smooth introduction of the physical notes and coins of their new currency.

Another time, from her mother's trembling knee, she had seen her father in a crowded courtroom standing between two uniforms, four fingers peeping over each of his shoulders! A uniform had shot her father from the underpinnings of the freight car. Her mother had died with the phantom of one marching across her delirium.

Now roll!" shouted Sam again, and with a strain and a heave they landed the first log level and true on the stone underpinnings.
