"You were wrong to come out to-day, Frank," said his father, surprised and perplexed at his sudden break-down; "you must go home immediately." "Papa, tell Davie that you do not believe he took the money," cried the boy. "He could not do it, papa." "Indeed, I did not, sir," said David. "I know nothing about the matter except what Mr Caldwell has told me. You may believe me, sir."
Miss De Voe showed signs of a recurring break-down, but mastered herself. "Good-evening." Peter gone, Miss De Voe had another "good" cry which is a feminine phrase, quite incomprehensible to men and, going to her room, bathed her eyes. Then she sat before her boudoir fire, thinking. Finally she rose. In leaving the fire, she remarked aloud to it: "Yes. He shall have Dorothy, if I can do it."
But his attention was turned from these things to Williams who told him that breakfast was ready, and also brought him a telegram. It was from Morris, and had been sent off from the Sloane Square office an hour before. "Mills is not in town; they say he left yesterday afternoon. Please inform me if you know whether this is so, or if you are keeping him from me. Am delayed by break-down.
But the fact remains that any unwarrantable break-down in the point of view selected diseconomizes the attention of the reader. It is unfortunate, for instance, that Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in "Marjorie Daw," should have found it necessary, after telling almost the entire tale in letters, to shift suddenly to the external point of view and end the story with a few pages of direct narrative.
'They arc only for the mind which is strong enough to meet and overcome them, she replied. 'But look, my mind has given way already! I am imbecile. For ever I shall be on the point of a break-down, and each successive one will bring me nearer to some final catastrophe perhaps the lunatic asylum who knows? 'I should think, she said gravely, 'that you suggested a truth.
Invade some butternut or hickory-nut grove on a frosty October morning and hear the red squirrel beat the "juba" on a horizontal branch. It is a most lively jig, what the boys call a "regular break-down," interspersed with squeals and snickers and derisive laughter. The most noticeable peculiarity about the vocal part of it is the fact that it is a kind of duet.
No one among the audience of the celebrated Odeon Concerts at Munich dreamt of "a break-down" when the above-mentioned senior "classical" conductor led the performance of Mozart's G minor symphony, when I happened to be present. The manner in which the Andante of the symphony was played, and the effect it produced was altogether surprising.
He outlived "consumptive" tendencies in youth; and the repeated indications of over-strain in later life, up to the time of his first serious break-down in 1878, had issued in nothing more than the depression and fatigue with which most busy men are familiar.
1902 was the year of King Edward's break-down in health but of his ultimate Coronation; it was the year in which Mr. It was likewise the year in which the South African War was finally wound up and the star of Joseph Chamberlain paled to its setting, and Mrs. Pankhurst and her daughter Christabel founded the Women's Social and Political Union at Manchester.
Of course the main work of Parliament is to raise supplies; and, when that has been done with ease, when all the money wanted has been voted without a break-down, of course Ministers are very glad to get rid of the Parliament. It is as much a matter of course that a Minister should dislike Parliament now as that a Stuart King should have done so two hundred and fifty years ago.
