"Well, Becky come back if you like. You can't eat your cake and have it. Any ways I made you a vair offer. Coom back as governess you shall have it all your own way." She held out one hand. She cried fit to break her heart; her ringlets fell over her face, and over the marble mantelpiece where she laid it. "So the rascal ran off, eh?" Sir Pitt said, with a hideous attempt at consolation.
These are the men of Russia, which is a great empire stretching from the gate of Prague to the gates of Kieff, the large city which is at the extremity of that empire . It is a land of mountains and forests, where there are to be found the animals called vair , ermine, and sable. No one issues forth from his house in winter-time on account of the cold.
"Vair is dat?" said Vandertallen, nervously. "For Heaven's sake don't ask such silly questions," said the mate. "You are miles out of your reckoning." "Vell, I'm d !" said the amazed skipper. "Den you must do de reckonin' now, Jim." "That's all very well, Dutchy, but if I have to do the navigation I am entitled to share the pay." "Vary vell," replied his captain, "dat agree."
I am rich, as the world goes; but my wealth is not happiness. True wealth is not of money, of the vair and the gray, of mules, or of horses. It is of kinsfolk and friends. The heart of a man is worth more than all the gold of a country. Had it not been for my friends, I would have been put to shame long ago.
"It's a vein thirty inches thick and it runs, it runs str-r-aight through the Canaan Tigmores, sometimes sinking many feet from the surface, but always there, I am vair' sure of that, str-r-aight through the Canaan Tigmores " The old man's breath began to jerk with a sick, sobbing sound.
No vair or ermine decked this garment; but in respect of his age, the Grand Master, as permitted by the rules, wore his doublet lined and trimmed with the softest lambskin, dressed with the wool outwards, which was the nearest approach he could regularly make to the use of fur, then the greatest luxury of dress.
the slim, tall, debonair figure, dansellon, as the singers call him, with curled yellow hair, and eyes of vair, who faints with love, as Dante fainted, who rides all day through the forest in search of Nicolette, while the thorns tear his flesh, so that one night have traced him by the blood upon the grass, and who weeps at evening because he has not found her who has the malady of his love, so that he neglects all knightly duties.
The varlets brushed and folded the habiliments and mantles of their lords. They looked to the stuff and the fastenings of their garments. You saw them hurry through the halls carrying furs and furred raiment, both vair and the grey. Caerleon seemed rather a fair than a city, at Arthur's feast.
With any luck, we shall be through the Straits and in safety long before daylight. The Frenchman nodded. 'Vair well, Monsieur le Capitaine. For me, I am satisfied. 'I think we all are, said an elderly Englishman named Symons. The captain looked round, but no one offered any objection.
Piney's parents had not been Italians at all, so Old Bernique told Steering, just plain, everyday Americans, from up "at that St. Louis," quite poor and always on the move. The father had been known throughout the country-side as a "blame' good fiddler" and the mother had been, oh a vair' wonderful woman, if one could believe Old Bernique.
