In many cases of the lower manifestation of these powers we find that they are exercised unconsciously; many a crystal-gazer watches scenes from the past without ever realizing that he is in effect psychometrizing the various objects around him as he happens to touch them or stand near them.
Dreadful as the day was, it passed more rapidly than I could have expected. There was nothing to mark the time; there were no regular meals, no bells struck, no watches set. The captain, on seeing the want of effect produced by the water thrown on the cargo, abandoned all hopes of saving the ship, and thought only how he might best secure his own safety.
"When shall I see you again," he persists. "You promised me to go home," she frowns, "and get well. Perhaps we shall meet again soon. Good night." He hesitates, his hat in hand. She smiles broadly and kisses him once more upon the forehead. She watches him far down the aisle, then sits again at the table. The shadow falls once more against the wall.
I do not know why a man should be either regretful or afraid, as he watches the hungry sea eating away this 'bank and shoal of time' upon which he stands even though the tide has all but reached his feet if he knows that God's strong hand will be stretched forth to him at the moment when the sand dissolves from under him, and will draw him out of many waters, and place him high above the floods in that stable land where there is 'no more sea.
Lord Denman was curious to know how a man whose time must have been mainly engrossed by engineering, had gathered so much knowledge on a subject quite out of his own line, and he asked the question. “I learnt clockmaking and watchmaking,” was the answer, “while a working man at Killingworth, when I made a little money in my spare hours, by cleaning the pitmen’s clocks and watches; and since then I have kept up my information on the subject.” This led to further questions, and then Mr.
A few days later, she looked better than any one in the little black apron, to which the more coquettish were wont to hang their watches, the straight skirt a severe and hard prescription at that period when fashion expanded women's figures with an infinity of flounces the regulation coiffure, two plaits tied rather low, at the neck, after the manner of the Roman peasants.
If any one asks you, you know; the city is small, and every one knows every one else, and every one watches every one else, where each goes, and what each does. PROKÓFYEVNA. Oh, sir! What's that to me! I looked but I didn't see. You're a stranger, not of this place. BABÁYEV. Ask them in! TATYÁNA and LUKÉRYA come in. LUKÉRYA. How do you do, again! Were you looking for us?
"There are lots of little fish swimming about, Tom," Peter said in a whisper. "Some are almost as long as one's hand. Do you think that they will go in, Tom?" "I hope the glitter of the bugles and watches will attract them, Peter." "There, Tom, there I saw a whole swarm of little ones go in." "Wait a minute or two, Peter, to let them get well down, and then draw up as quietly as possible."
In half an hour the sun was shining, the thunder muttered intermittently along the horizon, and the Elsinore still rolled in a hush of air. "You can't tell, sir," Mr. Pike growled to me. "Thirty years ago I was dismasted right here off the Plate in a clap of wind that come on just as that come on." It was the changing of the watches, and Mr.
In a matter of ten minutes, shipboard routine was arranged, Carse, Friday and Ban splitting the watches. The Hawk, as was his custom, took the first. Friday was relieved of the space-stick and immediately went back for sleep, as did Wilson. Eliot Leithgow did not retire right away, however.
