It got to be so that whatever we touched began to quake and quiver. Mrs. Scott did not quite like all this. She would sometimes gravely shake her head and say she had her doubts about its being right. She bore it bravely, however, not liking to put a damper on our youthful spirits. But one day when we put our hands on Dr. Scott's chimneypot to make it turn, that was too much for her.
"There's my friend the archbishop's collection to be sold." Slowly recovering his breath, my father gently turned his eyes from one to the other; and then, laying his left hand on my head, while with the right he held up Erasmus rebukingly to Uncle Jack, said, "See how easily you can sow covetousness and avidity in the youthful mind. Ah, brother!" "You are too severe, sir.
"Ah! none of that! none of that I cannot coquet with you!" she cried. "Don't suppose I consent to for one moment. Our poor, brief, youthful hour of love-making was too long ago to bear continuing now. It is as well that we should understand each other on that point before we go further." "Coquet! Nor I with you. As it was when I found the historic gloves, so it is now.
He was three or four years older than I, and his being the trusted though anonymous theatrical reviewer on the H paper, was enough of itself to give him, in my eyes, an official superiority, before which I bowed. But what worked still more strongly upon my youthful imagination was his manner.

Moreover Gard was at an age when youthful susceptibilities were softened by the lackadaisicalness of his returning state of health and hope. So his difficulties with the German language, feasting, sleeping and redoubtable ways in general, were to be complicated by German loving.
The cunning simplicity of the draping over her shoulders luminous with the iridiscent gleam of ivory skin beneath, accentuated by the voluptuous beauty of her youthful bosom the fleeting change of colors and contours as she slowly turned about in this maddening soul-trap of silk and laces all these were not lost on the senses of Shirley.
By the death of Maximilian, in 1519, the youthful sovereign of Spain and the Netherlands came into possession of the Austrian dominions; and the electors, shortly after, chose him emperor of Germany. He was born at Ghent, A. D. 1500, and was educated with great care. He early displayed his love of government, and, at fifteen, was present at the deliberations of the cabinet.
Long habituation to the office of king was not destined to wear out, to exhaust, the youthful ardor of King Louis XIV. He had been for a long while governing, when he wrote, "You must not imagine, my son, that affairs of state are like those obscure and thorny passages in the sciences which you will perhaps have found fatiguing, at which the mind strives to raise itself, by an effort, beyond itself, and which repel us quite as much by their, at any rate apparent, uselessness as by their difficulty.
Leo, whose knowledge of the Eskimo tongue was rapidly extending, sought to counteract the patient's ferocity by preaching forgiveness and patience. Being unsuccessful, he had recourse to a soporific plant which he had recently discovered. To administer an overdose of this was not unnatural, perhaps, in a youthful doctor.
