Illyria and the whole of Thrace, that is to say, the countries between the Ionian Gulf and the suburbs of Byzantium, including Hellas and the Chersonese, were overrun nearly every year after the accession of Justinian by the Huns, Slavs and Antes, who inflicted intolerable sufferings upon the inhabitants.
VECINA. Ya lo supongo ... ¿qué habían ustedes de oír?... si es una grandísima embustera ... muy tonta y muy presumida ... sin que yo sepa en qué se funda ... porque al cabo, ¿qué ha sido antes de casarse? ¿doncella en casa de un consejero?
Most of the bets, however, were so heavy as to make the Mexicans about the table gasp with envy. But the crisis was coming. The deal passed from the gambler to The Kid and back to the gambler again. The pot was already swollen from the antes. The Kid opened. "I'm stayin'," said the gambler crisply. He pushed in a small pile of gold. "How many cards?" "Two," murmured The Kid. The gambler took one.
La mujer instruída no se ha transformado en la marisabidilla, la fatua criatura forjada por la imaginación de algunos, ni siquiera ha perdido ninguno de sus encantos femeninos porque razone y discuta con el hombre sobre toda clase de materias; antes bien, a causa de ello, parece que encontramos en ella mayor gracia y encanto, porque nos comprende mejor y sabe hacerse comprender mejor.
Por Dios Sr. D. Pedro, que no logre yo el ver a usted...." ¡Ah, conque es un proyecto!... que luego me explicará ... y a fe que buena falta me hace ... y yo entre tanto sólo tengo que hacer ... poco ... muy poco es lo que tengo que hacer; no recibirle, encerrarme en mi cuarto para mayor seguridad ... la cosa no es difícil ... pero, y si tropiezo con él antes de que pueda ponerme al corriente ... entonces ... no le miraré a la cara, ahuecaré la voz ... y le volveré pronto las espaldas ... tampoco esto es muy difícil ... con todo no sé yo si podré ... y por otra parte me parece tan extravagante....
It is unlucky for Mr. Froude's theory, and for Philip's character, if the King used the phrase twice. In March 1578 he wrote to Perez, about Escovedo, 'act quickly antes que nos mate, before he kills us. So Perez averred, at least, but is his date correct? This time Perez did act, and Escovedo was butchered!
I knew that it was the residence of its proprietors, the Duc and Duchesse de Guermantes, I knew that they were real personages who did actually exist, but whenever I thought about them I pictured them to myself either in tapestry, as was the 'Coronation of Esther' which hung in our church, or else in changing, rainbow colours, as was Gilbert the Bad in his window, where he passed from cabbage green, when I was dipping my fingers in the holy water stoup, to plum blue when I had reached our row of chairs, or again altogether impalpable, like the image of Genevieve de Brabant, ancestress of the Guermantes family, which the magic lantern sent wandering over the curtains of my room or flung aloft upon the ceiling in short, always wrapped in the mystery of the Merovingian age, and bathed, as in a sunset, in the orange light which glowed from the resounding syllable 'antes. And if, in spite of that, they were for me, in their capacity as a duke and a duchess, real people, though of an unfamiliar kind, this ducal personality was in its turn enormously distended, immaterialised, so as to encircle and contain that Guermantes of which they were duke and duchess, all that sunlit 'Guermantes way' of our walks, the course of the Vivonne, its water-lilies and its overshadowing trees, and an endless series of hot summer afternoons.
Against the Antes he erected the fortifications of the Lower Danube; and labored to secure the alliance of a people seated in the direct channel of northern inundation, an interval of two hundred miles between the mountains of Transylvania and the Euxine Sea.
Their importance was measured by their vicinity to the empire; and the level country of Moldavia and Wallachia was occupied by the Antes, a Sclavonian tribe, which swelled the titles of Justinian with an epithet of conquest.
DOÑA MATILDE. ¿Qué sabes tú? BRUNO. Porque nunca se despierta antes de las nueve, y porque.... DON EDUARDO. Quizá valga más entonces que yo vuelva un poco más tarde. DOÑA MATILDE. No, no; ¿a qué prolongar nuestra agonía? Anda, Brunito, anda, si es que mi felicidad te interesa.
