He spoke rather louder than he intended, and, as it was at a moment when there was a period of silence, the words carried to General Waller, who was at that moment near Tom. "What's that?" inquired the rather fiery-tempered officer, as he looked sharply at our hero. "I said I was going to make a larger gun than that," repeated Tom, modestly. "Sir! Do you know what you are saying?
"Why, she up and told him that he was only a lazy vagabond himself, for he never did hardly any work, and that since he had been made constable the place had not been big enough to hold him. But there, I can't stop talking here; I have got to get your tea. What am I to say to Martha about your taking that pork-pie?" "Nothing," said Waller gruffly. "But she meant it for your tea."
I have observed him more than once in close conversation with Cobb, and for some time he seldom lost an opportunity of speaking to Waller whenever he went forward, though he himself has never ventured aft. He evidently has had a good education, and is a plausible, long-tongued fellow, well able to influence men of inferior station."
In the full conviction that whoever it was must have heard the talking, Waller caught up the hammer near at hand, then threw it down noisily upon his work-bench, and walked quickly to the door. "What is it?" he cried. The answer came in Bella's voice: "You are wanted, Master Waller." "Who wants me?" said Waller, changing colour and seeing all sorts of imaginary dangers below. "Don't know, sir.
In order, therefore, to follow his injunctions to the letter, I strolled out toward the Place in search of the tailor, and also to deliver a letter from Waller to the chamberlain, to provide me with a card for the ball. Monsieur Schnetz, who was the very pinnacle of politeness, was nevertheless, in fact, nearly as untractable as my host of the "Cross."
"I don't know. Days." "But why were you starving?" said Waller half-indignantly. "Why should I not be?" said the boy bitterly. "Alone in these wilds." "Well," cried Waller. "I shouldn't have starved if I had been like you.
Johnson in derision, because of the fantastic form of Donne's poetry is often applied to all minor poets of the Puritan Age. We use the term here in a narrower sense, excluding the followers of Daniel and that later group known as the Cavalier poets. It includes Donne, Herbert, Waller, Denham, Cowley, Vaughan, Davenant, Marvell, and Crashaw.
Besides, the resemblance is more apparent than real. Metaphysical poetry was a native product. When their reputation was high, they had undoubtedly more imitators than time has left behind. Their immediate successors, of whom any remembrance can be said to remain, were Suckling, Waller, Denham, Cowley, Cleveland, and Milton.
"There's some mischief going on there," exclaimed Captain Idle, after a look at the vessels. "Mr Spry, call the boats away; we must send and overhaul these fellows." Three boats, under the command of the first-lieutenant, were speedily in the water, and manned, all hands being well-armed. Waller had charge of one boat, I of the third, and not a little proud did I feel of the honour.
Tarswell is another abbreviation of Tankersville. Judge Benjamin Waller. Mr. Wickham married Mr. Tazewell's aunt, a half sister of Judge Henry Tazewell. For a sketch of Mr. Tazewell and Gen.
