As to the Englishman's Socialism, he is, by nature, the most unsocial animal alive. What you call Socialism is his intellectual equivalent for Diabolo and Limerick competitions. As to his criticisms, you surely wouldn't marry a woman who agreed with you in everything, and you ought to choose your immigrants on the same lines. You admit that the Canadian is too busy to kick at anything.
There was a glimpse of sparkling blue, and of the pearl of far-off hills, and the haze of a distant dim peak. "It's the Golden Gate!" cried Keith in sudden enlightenment. He told her that the mountain over the way must be Tamalpais; that the pearl-gray, far-off hills must be Contra Costa; that the distant dim peak was undoubtedly Mount Diabolo.
I forgot to mention that before he did so he said to Don Quixote, "Remember that you stand excommunicated for having laid violent hands on a holy thing, juxta illud, si quis, suadente diabolo."
"Your what?" asked Billie. "My brother. My little brother. Could I, Ambrosio?" and he patted the ape on the cheek. "What do you call him?" asked Donald. "I call him Ambrosio because he is so sweet." "Bah!" exclaimed Billie. "I called him Ab, but he ought to be named Diabolo. But how about the horse?" "I am afraid I have rendered him quite useless for the present, Señor. I may have broken his leg."
He was taken up a high hill a laborious journey to gaze on the spot where he would have been able to see Mount Diabolo, if only Mount Diabolo had been visible.
The only thing to be feared therein is that a toy aeroplane of some child will put an eye out, or that the more devilish diabolo will crack one's skull. Under the regency of the Duc Philippe d'Orleans the various apartments of the palace were the scenes of scandalous goings-on, which were related at great length in the chronicles of the time.
Man of many snipes, I will sup with thee, Deo volente ei diabolo nolente, on Monday night the 5th of January, in the new year, and crush a cup to the infant century. A word or two of my progress. Embark at six o'clock in the morning, with a fresh gale, on a Cambridge one-decker; very cold till eight at night; land at St.
"Now I wonder who Danny Randall is!" speculated Johnny after our visitor had departed. "He talked as though we ought to know all about it. I'm going to find out the first fellow I get acquainted with." Next morning we asked the Moreñas who was Danny Randall. "El diabolo," replied Moreña shortly; and trudged obstinately away to his work without vouchsafing further information.
"Now, get me right," explained the former speaker. "He breaks trainin', and goes up to Saratoga for a little rest. While he's there he wins eight thousand dollars playin' diabolo." "Playin' what?" queried Stover. "Diabolo! He backs himself, of course." Glass took an imaginary spool from his pocket, spun it by means of an imaginary string, then sent it aloft and pretended to catch it dexterously.
Besides which, we invented the foundations of all our games many thousand of years ago. We invented and played at 'Diabolo' when the Britons were painted blue and lived in the woods. The English knew how to play once, in the days of Queen Elizabeth; then they had masques and madrigals and Morris dances and music.
