It was the first time that Christabel had seen her out of her beplumed hat, and she thought her a pleasant, bright-looking little girl, not at all set up or conceited.
Have you read, critically, Coleridge's poem of "Christabel," and Keats's "Lamia"? If so, can you understand them, or find any physiological foundation for the story of either? There is another set of questions of a different nature I should like to ask, but it is hardly fair to put so many on a single sheet. There is one, however, you must answer.
Special studies and monographs: A. Andreades, History of the Bank of England, Eng. trans. by Christabel Meredith , an authoritative review by a Greek scholar; Sir Walter Besant, London in the Eighteenth Century , charmingly written but not always trustworthy; J. L. and B. Hammond, The Village Labourer, 1760-1832 ; J. E. Thorold Rogers, History of Agriculture and Prices in England, 7 vols.
"Just after you left home," said Christabel, as shortly and clearly as she could, "the children agreed to save their allowance to buy a pig for Hannah Higgins. They showed great perseverance in their object; and by the third week they had about seven shillings in this jug, which, to my grief and shame, I let them keep in the glass cupboard, not locked, but one door bolted, the other buttoned.
He put his foot over it while it was running, and stopped it. He told David to get it away if he could, and David bit his leg, and he said 'Damn you! and crushed it crack." Mary whipped a glance at the murderer. She ignored the evidence. "To- morrow!" said she. "Why, what fun! To-morrow we'll play hospital like we did when Christabel broke her arm. We'll make Mr.
Nothing more was heard of the others, and Christabel and Elizabeth both read in peace till the tea-bell rang, and they went down and waited and waited, till Miss Fosbrook accepted Bessie's offer of going out to call the rest.
She was going from the hut to the fireplace, when she trod on a snake, which bit her just below the joint of the little toe; for, like Coleridge's Christabel "Her blue-veined feet unsandall'd were."
For the iambic dimeter, freely altered by the licences of equivalence, anacrusis, and catalexis, though not recently practised in English when Christabel and the Lay set the example, is an inevitable result of the clash between accented, alliterative, asyllabic rhythm and quantitative, exactly syllabic metre, which accompanied the transformation of Anglo-Saxon into English.
What do you mean? Christabel cried. 'Had you something to do with that, too? 'Not that I know of. Rose laughed. She was tired of considering every word before she uttered it. 'With that too! Christabel repeated a little wildly, and then in a firm voice she said, 'You've got to tell me. 'But I don't know. You must make all inquiries of the cat. It was a wise animal. It knew the time had come.
Nor can the unfinished condition in which it was left be fairly held to account for this, for the characters themselves the lady Christabel, the witch Geraldine, and even the baron Sir Leoline himself are somewhat shadowy creations, with too little hold upon life and reality, and too much resemblance to the flitting figures of a dream.
