This weed gives shelter to many species of mollusks and zoöphytes, quite similar to a collection of seaweed often encountered in the waters of the West Indies. Over this marine verdure hover great flocks of ocean birds. Now and then one alights to secure some tidbit of edible substance detected by its keen vision amid the thick branches and leaves.
I walk forward, and still forward, with my empty hands. I see the others pass, they go by in front of me. I, I advance no more. Suddenly I fall to the ground. I fall on my knees, and then full length. I do what so many others have done. I am alone on the earth, face to face with the mud, and I can no longer move. The frightful searching of the shells alights around me.
As they come back, the hour for the wedding approaches, and Lillyston says to Owen "How I wish De Vayne were here!" "But he is in Florence, is he not?" says Owen. They have hardly spoken when a carriage with a coronet on the panels dashes up to the Lion Inn; a young man alights, hands out a lady, and enters the inn. "Surely that must be De Vayne himself," says Suton running forward.
George's Chapel at Windsor all the pronouns which referred to the Holy Trinity were spelt with small letters, and those which referred to the Queen with capitals. So much for the heights of etiquette, and for its depths we will go to Thackeray's account of an incident stated to have occurred on the birth of the Duke of Connaught: "Lord John he next alights. And who comes here in haste?
If a speck of dust alights on me, I don't think myself hopelessly befouled; and if some one I loved made a slip, I should only think that it is human to err and that it's humanity I love." "Humanity!" he repeated, looking down. "Ah!" He sighed deeply. He raised his head. "And if some one you loved killed your Jimmy?" "As you ?" "Yes yes?"
On the morning following, a neatly-caparisoned carriage is seen driving to the door of a little brick house in Crosby street. From it Madame Montford alights, and passes in at the front door, while in another minute it rolls away up the street and is lost to sight.
Hamilton Tooting, a carriage draped with a sheet on which was painted "Down with Railroad Ring Rule." The band halts before the G.A.R. Hall; the candidate alights, with a bow of acknowledgment, and goes to the private office until the musicians are seated in front of the platform, when he enters to renewed cheering and the tune of "See, the Conquering Hero Comes!"
In Laos the hunting of elephants gives rise to many taboos; one of them is that the chief hunter may not touch the earth with his foot. Accordingly, when he alights from his elephant, the others spread a carpet of leaves for him to step upon.
Sanin insists that it is not necessary to have any theory of life, or to be guided by any principle; that God may exist or He may not; He does not at any rate bother about us. The real rational life of man should be exactly like a bird. He should be controlled wholly by the desire of the moment. The bird wishes to alight on a branch, and so he alights; then he wishes to fly, so he flies.
Yet she scarcely seemed to heed their existence, and only submitted to the kisses of Hope and Kate as if that were a part of the price of coming home, and she must pay it. Had she been alone, there might have been an awkward pause; for if you expect a cousin, and there alights a butterfly of the tropics, what hospitality can you offer?
