It had a flavour like cod-liver oil and was not much appreciated some ate their share, and I think all would have done so if we had had sledging appetites shades of Discovery days!!16 This Emperor weighed anything from 88 to 96 lbs., and therefore approximated to or exceeded the record. The dogs are doing pretty well with one or two exceptions.
Really, Peter Champneys was unusually lucky! She felt deeply gratified. Peter hadn't known that there existed anywhere on earth anything quite so perfect as the life in a great English country house. He thought that perhaps the vanished plantation life of the old South might have approximated it.
And, briefly, it is to be known that, as it has been said above in the sixth chapter of the third treatise, the Church makes use of the hours temporal in the division of the day, which hours are twelve in each day, long or short according to the amount of sunlight; and because the sixth hour, that is, the midday, is the most noble of the whole day, and has in it the most virtue, the Offices of the Church are approximated thereto in each side, that is, from the prime, and thence onwards as much as possible; and therefore the Office of prime, that is, the tertius, is said at the end of that part, and that of the third part and of the fourth is said at the beginning; and therefore, before the clock strikes in a division of the day, it is termed half-third or mid-tertius; or mid-nones, when in that division the clock has struck, and thus mid-vespers.
This is the ideal, the "happy ending" at which most romances, novels, plays, and all the daydreams of youth leave us. Warm, cozy, intense domesticity, where passion is legitimate and love and friendship eternal; where children play around the hearth fire; of which death only is the ending! This ideal is not realized largely because no ideal is. How often is it closely approximated?
And as to forecasting Dag Daughtry's fate, along with Kwaque, no maddest drug-dream could have approximated it. One night Dag Daughtry sat at a table in the saloon called the Pile-drivers' Home. He was in a parlous predicament. Harder than ever had it been to secure odd jobs, and he had reached the end of his savings.
After long and detailed instructions, he returned to his wheel, and set it to the making of a shape never seen in the potter's vision of Jeremiah or Robert Browning. The first attempt was a failure; the second and third were equally useless; at last something was produced that approximated the human size and form.
But the Confederation of 1781 possessed no such giant member; it approximated a union of equals, and in theory it was entirely such. * * By the Articles of Confederation Congress itself was made "the last resort of all disputes and differences...between two or more States concerning boundary, jurisdiction, or any other cause whatever."
I cannot say I am much interested in hogs, but even I could dimly comprehend the Captain's attitude of swollen pride. They were clean, and black, and more nearly approximated the absurd hog advertisements than I had believed possible. You know the kind I mean; an almost exact rectangle on four short legs. In the middle distance stood a long, narrow, thatched roof supported on poles.
In size, however, they approximated nearer to each other, both being men of large stature. Both had been stout, almost corpulent. Neither could be so described as they assisted at that solemn ceremonial that was to devote one or other of them to a doom in which their condition was a circumstance of significant interest to those who were to survive them.
The general opinion of the community, after the crash of 1857, was, that all our railways approximated more or less closely to these unhappy conditions, and it was merely a question of time as to their final bankruptcy and ruin. Even now, when they have recovered themselves considerably, and are paying dividends again, capitalists are very shy of them.
