The good God has given to you ample means. It is not right that you should lead this lonely life. Bachelors make old maids; things of no use." "That is so," Ulrich agreed. "I have often said the same unto myself. It would be pleasant to feel one was not working merely for oneself." "Elsa, now," went on the Herr Pfarrer, "she is a good child, pious and economical.
All the menacing horrors of an eclipse are ours, for we have a sun over us; but they are born in shades, with the tuck of a curtain showing light, and little can be taken from them; so that they find scarce any terrors in the inevitable final stroke. No; the comedy is painfullest. You and I, Algy, old bachelors, will earn the right just to chuckle.
Goodness me! for eleven years you do for two old bachelors, you think of nothing but their comfort.
The things had evidently been forgotten in the big move, but it looked melancholy. The château must have been charming when it was furnished and lived in. Quantities of rooms, a long gallery with small rooms on one side, the "garçonnière" or bachelors' quarters, led directly into the church, where many Thurys are sleeping their last sleep. The park was beautiful and there was capital shooting.
"It's all right, Walter" he would reply, "you and little Rose will make a handsome couple ten years from now, and I only hope I may live to see the day, for it won't do to have too many old bachelors in the family", and, with a roguish look at Aunt Lucinda, "to say nothing of old maids."
Cynics and crusty, disappointed old bachelors might make fun of these youthful lovers and make some sarcastic remarks; still, after all, where is the noble, healthy, splendid young man of fifteen or sixteen that has not safely passed through these same ordeals, and, as a general thing, survived? So let Frank and Alec have these daydreams and thus enjoy themselves.
It is probably a Garo custom. In some Lynngam villages there are houses in the centre of the village where the young unmarried men sleep, where male guests are accommodated, and where the village festivities go on. These are similar to the dekachang or bachelors' club-houses of the Mikirs, Garos, and Lalungs, and to the morang of the Nagas.
We're quite friends already. Ninnis and I he's been in South America, too. 'You'll find him somewhere about the Bachelors' Quarters, and I'll go and put on my habit, she said. Lady Bridget appeared as Maule and Ninnis were finishing saddling the horses. Ninnis had stayed near the head station, and was keeping a sharp look-out for bush fires, he said.
If each individual were a unit whose interests ended with himself; if generations were like stratified rocks, superposed one on another but not interconnected; if to quote a pithy phrase, I do not know from whom "if all men were born orphans and died bachelors," then the right to draw income from the products of permanently productive capital would for most men lose much of what now makes it desirable.
Presently we shall tell childless persons especially bachelors why they should get a baby and bring it up. But first, learn that the best possible choice would be one of those two despised "thin" babies. In all the world's history, the greatest men have begun life as THIN babies. You must know from common observation that in babyhood the head is big out of all proportion to the rest of the body.
