Heaths vexed by a midnight storm may be changed into a hall of choral nymphs and regal banqueting; forest glades may give sudden place to colonnades and carnivals; but he whose senses are deluded finds himself still on his natal earth. These miracles are contemptible when compared with that which placed me under this roof and gave me to partake in this audience.
She loved to sell flowers at carnivals, in riding academies; and to sell champagne at large balls. She would think up her little bon mots beforehand, which on the morrow would be caught up by the whole town.
No, you shall not go! In Rome, at the carnivals, it is an old game. They will rob you." "You are dreaming. This is America; things are not done that way here. And nothing now can turn me aside." Hillard was all the while finishing his toilet. "I suppose not. But blindfolded!" "Take the number of the cab as I get in. If anything should happen, give the number to the police."
Louis Veiled Prophets The French Market and Other Landmarks in New Orleans A Beautiful Ceremony and an Unfinished Monument.

After a pause Dreux said: "Heaven knows where these carnivals will end if we continue giving bigger pageants every year.

Pictures of it were made, with steamers lying at the wharves and a university in the suburbs. Liberal donations of lots were made to the first woman married, to the first newspaper, to the first church, to the first child born. But there were no mines near, and the city never had an inhabitant. The half-dozen buildings put up by the proprietors are left for the nightly carnivals of bats and owls.
"Isn't he?" said Tessa, eagerly, getting a little closer to him; "and I might go and see the Carnival to-morrow, just for an hour or two, mightn't I?"
