He could not count the number killed, but supposed them to be Mano, or ten thousand, and hence the name of the island Manono. It broke away from Fiji, and was brought sailing along the ocean to Samoa by the chief Nono, who came to seek a suitable place for carrying on war. He first went to Manu'a, but did not like it.
A physician in Rome, whom I had occasion to call in for a slight illness, took an opportunity on his first visit to put a very considerable buona mano into the hands of my servant, in order to secure future calls.
Everybody begs; if you ask a common person your way along the street, the chances are that he asks you for a "buono mano." Now, even if you doubt the truth of Sheridan's dictum, that no man could be honest without being rich, it is hard to believe in a virtuous beggar. The abundance, also, of lotteries shakes one's faith in Roman morality.
"But though in dust thy relics lie, Thy virtues, Mano, ne'er shall die; Though Nile's full stream be seen no more, That spread his waves from shore to shore, Still in the verdure of the plain His vivifying smiles remain." The praise of a humble lot has been sung from Háfiz to Horace, but never illustrated by a prettier conceit than the Arabic poet has recourse to in this stanza:
The Irishman, as the engineer translated, crossed himself. "Howly Mither, fwhat a name!" Jefferson Worth spoke. "Drive on, Texas." And so, with the yellow dust-devils dancing along their road and that yellow cloud in the distance, they moved down the slope down into The King's Basin into La Palma de la Mano de Dios, The Hollow of God's Hand. "Is that true, sir?" asked Abe of the Seer.
Yesterday a research scholar had expired and so there was a condolence meeting today. After that everybody left as it was declared a holiday. I arrived home at about 10.30 a.m. I had a bath and then some food. I then watched a bit of TV and wrote my diary. In the night Uncle Mano and Aunty Sagu had invited some guests and had cooked chicken curry which I enjoyed very much.
DON EDUARDO. Como que no hay cosa peor que el jabón y el agua caliente ... mas puedes estar segura, Matilde mía, que con la misma ilusión con que tu Eduardo te besa ahora esta mano tan suave y blanca, con la misma te la besará cuando la tengas áspera como una lija y colorada como un tomate.
"Mano, nera, mano nera the Black Hand," she repeated over and over again, and Edward, who had heard her history, realized that something she had seen had set her mind in the old train of thought. While Miss Merriam attended to the children he calmed the woman and then turned her over to Mrs.
The driver's impotence first exploded in fury and threats: at least we should pay for the omnibus, for his time, for his trouble; yes, pay the whole way to Perugia and back, and his buon' mano besides.
"Cantò l'armi pietòse e 'l capitanò Che 'l gran Sepòlerò liberò di Cristò; Mòltò egli òprò còl sennò e còn la manò, Mòltò sòffri nel glòriòsò acquistò; E invan l'infernò a lui s'òppòse; e invanò S'armò d'Asia e di Libia il pòpòl mistò; Che il ciel gli diè favòre, e sòttò ai santi Segni ridusse i suòi còmpagni erranti."
