At the end the baritone abruptly drew his sword, and the prima donna fell to her knees, chanting: "Io tremo, ahime!" "And now he's mad again," whispered Aunt Wess', consulting her libretto, all at sea once more. "I can't understand. She says the opera book says she says, 'I tremble. I don't see why." Now they're going to have it out."

But, our opponent points out, Scripture cannot be the source of our knowledge of Brahman, because Brahman is to be known through other means.

Madame Klesmer was a tragedienne and a prima donna at once-a usual combination in those days One Friday evening we were in the gallery of her theater. The play was an "historical opera," and she was playing the part of a Biblical princess. It was the closing scene of an act.

This law regarded the nonfulfillment of a contract on which an advance had been made as prima facie evidence of intent to defraud and thus gave employers immense power over their employees.

I'll bet a cookie she'll go up there in the pasture every day and do her vocal practicing out of hearing of the 'cello, and Helenita will perch on the nearest rock and play echo."

So Lorry went away discouraged and with a vague fear that she might have been a prima donna whose real name was Guggenslocker but whose stage name was something more euphonious. He instantly put away the thought and the fear. She was certainly not an opera singer impossible! He drove back to his hotel, and made preparations for his return to Washington.

The moment a propertyless person stole, the assumption at once was that he was prima facie a criminal; but let the powerful propertied man steal and government at once refused to see the criminal intent; if he were prosecuted, the usual outcome was that he never went to jail.

"Don't I look like a tea store chromo?" inquired Sabrina as Estelle, her maid, opened the door. "Oh, such a time I had! Never again will I go to see that Alla McSweeney. Pipe my dial!

The girls down at Wilbur's show decided to give a beefsteak in honor of the prima donna getting the can.
