Gilbert Stuart, the most important figure, is represented by an extensive collection on wall A. In this room, too, are canvases by West, Peale, Copley, and their followers well into the Nineteenth Century. Gallery 59 contains chiefly the work of that barren mid-century period when portraiture and landscape painting alike became hard and labored.
There were also marbles on the walls, and lettered stones in the pavement under our feet; but chiefly, if not entirely, of modern date. We lunched at the Royal Hotel, and then walked round the city walls, also crossing the bridge of one great arch over the Dee, and penetrating as far into Wales as the entrance of the Marquis of Westminster's Park at Eaton.
The education of the children is chiefly directed by her in many families almost exclusively so. Whether for evil or for good, by careless neglect or by patient, thoughtful, prayerful guidance, she marks out their future course. This is even too much the case.
Her idol had chiefly been a creature of the imagination, and when the bald, repulsive truth concerning him had been proved to her in such a way that she could not escape conviction, she was equally disgusted with him and herself. For some weeks Mr. Ludolph treated his daughter with cold distrust. "She will be like her mother, I suppose," he thought.
Since his conversation with Nemu, and the dwarf's interpretation of his dream, the path which he must tread to reach his aim had been plain before him. Nefert's mother must be won with the gold which would save her from disgrace, and Mena must be sent to the other world. He relied chiefly on his own reckless obstinacy which he liked to call firm determination Nemu's cunning, and the love-philter.
The old-time prejudice of business men against the man who had "done time" was chiefly on account of his incompetence, and not his record.
Jack Ward and Nina, in my opinion, behaved none too well; but my father liked Jack and my mother did not say much about him, which explains the whole thing. He was always ready to do anything, and his only fault in my father's eyes was that he was never in time for breakfast. I was chiefly engaged during his visit in paving the way for Owen's.
You issue no actual commands your power comes chiefly by suggestion! And with you, working for you I have thought day and night, night and day, of the glory of Rome! the dominion of Rome! the triumph of Rome! I have learned, under you, to wish for it, to pray for it, to desire it more than my own life! do you, can you blame me for that?
These precautions, which are chiefly taken in order to make sure of their mark, are, on several accounts, highly expedient.
Of late years, however, it has grown into a place of much commercial importance. There are some decent houses; but the natives live chiefly in small huts, which are scattered over a wide area, with scarcely any attempt at regularity of arrangement. These huts are supported on piles from six to ten feet high.
