The gaming-tables have constant visitors; there, thousands are daily and nightly lost and won; parties even sit down to try their luck round the outside of the door as well as in the room:— “Vestibulum ante ipsum primisque in faucibus aulæ Luctus et ultrices, posuere sedilia curæ.”

Cardinalis mittet illuc nescio quem, aut committet uni propediem discessuro. Nollem hunc tantum bolum de faucibus nostris cadere; itaque matura, ac diligenter; ne dormias. Nam haec vir ille ita affirmavit, ut quamvis verbosior videretur, tamen nulla esset causa, cur ita impudenter mentiretur, praesertim nullo proposito mentiendi praemio.

O'Conor the while became more and more savage. I attempted to say a word to Fanny, but failed. Vox faucibus haesit. "I don't think he has got any others," said Tizzy "at least none others left." On the whole I am glad I did not marry into the family, as I could not have endured that girl to stay in my house as a sister-in-law. "Where the d has that other fellow gone to?" said Tom.

I am not a nervous man, and I never knew before what Virgil meant when he wrote "adhoesit faucibus ora." At last I managed to stammer out a few words, asking the intruder who he was and what he wanted. "Lieutenant Heatherstone," he answered, speaking slowly and gravely, "you have committed this day the foulest sacrilege and the greatest crime which it is possible for man to do.

I was determined to be, what I thought, civil; I made fine low bows, and placed myself below everybody; but when I was spoken to, or attempted to speak myself, 'obstupui, steteruntque comae, et vox faucibus haesit'. If I saw people whisper, I was sure it was at me; and I thought myself the sole object of either the ridicule or the censure of the whole company, who, God knows, did not trouble their heads about me.

Keen impressions, whether of joy or pain, are, in Dr. Poyet's opinion, bad for the voice. Great fear may cause a passing but instantaneous loss of voice. "Vox faucibus hæsit." The emotion of singing in public, as everyone knows, prevents many artists from showing their full capacity. Only custom, and sometimes reasoning, can free them from "stage-fright."

The gaming-tables have constant visitors: there thousands are daily and nightly lost and won parties even sit down to try their luck round the outside of the door as well as in the room: Vestibulum ante ipsum primisque in faucibus aulae Luctus et ultrices, posucre sedilia curae. About six or seven miles from Pernambuco stands a pretty little village called Monteiro.

I was instantaneously in an awful funk, and I had a practical demonstration of the "vox haesit in faucibus," for I was unable to reply to the good doctor in anything but the faintest whisper, and my tongue clattered in my mouth, as dry as a stick, in an instant.
