We have been jolted to death; my servants let us come without springs to the chaise, and we are wore threadbare: to add to our disasters, I have sprained my ancle, and have brought it along, laid upon a little box of baubles that I have bought for presents in England.
The glass slide upon the Queen's side of the coach ran down with a crash, and one of the large gilt baubles from its roof toppled and fell into the road. At the same instant a great blast and swirl of smoke blew by, shutting for a moment the outer world from view.
We have father's chest in the ark, Hetty, and might try the temptation of more elephants; though I fear such baubles will not buy the liberty of a man like Deerslayer. I am afraid father and Hurry will not be as willing to ransom Deerslayer, as Deerslayer was to ransom them!" "Why not, Judith? Hurry and Deerslayer are friends, and friends should always help one another."
Since Werper had evinced a desire to possess his glittering pebbles, Tarzan, with the suspicions of a savage, had guarded the baubles, of whose worth he was entirely ignorant, as zealously as though they spelled life or death to him. For a long time the ape-man sat watching his companion.
So after buying a few baubles to while away time, I down to Westminster, and there into the House of Parliament, where, at a great Committee, I did hear, as long as I would, the great case against my Lord Mordaunt, for some arbitrary proceedings of his against one Taylor, whom he imprisoned, and did all the violence to imaginable, only to get him to give way to his abusing his daughter.
Your American romanticist is a sentimental spoiled child who believes in miracles, whose needs are mostly baubles, whose desires are dreams. Expediency is his motto. Innocent of a knowledge of the principles of the universe, he lives in a state of ceaseless activity, admitting no limitations, impatient of all restrictions. What he wants, he wants very badly indeed.
Morbid self-reproach was replaced by an extravagant self-consciousness, and thenceforth she went on her solitary way, acting up always to a high standard of moral rectitude, but putting aside the faiths and hopes and judgments of the many as baubles beneath the notice of a mature and well-balanced intellect.
"Thank you, Miss Thorpe, I'm glad to get her back so soon." And then Azalea ran away to her Indian booth, where she found her assistant doing a rushing business with the Indian wares. Indeed, everybody seemed anxious to buy the baubles of Vanity Fair. The cause was a worthy one, the patrons were wealthy and generous, and the vendors were charming and wheedlesome.
The warm glow of firelight filled the room, scintillating in the glittering facets of the baubles on the tree; and from their pillows two pale-faced boys boys who, despite their lengthening limbs were yet happily children at heart watched eager-eyed while the sweet-faced Soeur, with reverential care, lit the candles that surrounded the Holy Bébé. The closing days of 1900 had been unusually mild.
Jewels are baubles; 'tis a sin To care for such unfruitful things; One good-sized diamond in a pin, Some, NOT SO LARGE, in rings, A ruby and a pearl, or so, Will do for me; I laugh at show. I would not have the horse I drive So fast that folks must stop and stare An easy gait two, forty-five Suits me; I do not care; Perhaps, for just a SINGLE SPURT, Some seconds less would do no hurt.
