"Oh, you do yourself an injustice, I am sure, but you do it gracefully. We shall meet often, of course. Mr. Witherspoon," he added, addressing the head of the Colossus, "we have just arrested that Mrs. McNutt." "How's that? What Mrs. McNutt?" "Why, the woman who was suspected of shop-lifting. This time we caught her in the act." "Ah, hah. Have you sent her away?" "Not yet.
Porthos rested his chin on his hands, placed his elbows on the table and looked at D'Artagnan with an expression of confidence which imparted to that colossus an admirable appearance of good-fellowship. "Well?" said D'Artagnan, at last. "Well!" repeated Porthos. "You were saying, my dear friend " "No; I said nothing." "Yes; you were saying you wished to leave this place."
At three and twenty Thomas was quite a colossus, already bearded and extremely like his father. But although he had a lofty brow and energetic features, he was somewhat slow both in mind and body. And he was also taciturn, almost unsociable, absorbed in filial devotion, delighted with the manual toil which made him a mere workman at his master's orders.
I do believe that these applauses are For some new honours that are heap'd on Caesar. Cassius. Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world, Like a Colossus: and we petty men Walk under his huge legs; and peep about To find ourselves DISHONOURABLE GRAVES. Men, at some time, are masters of their fates, The fault, dear Brutus, IS NOT in our STARS, But in ourselves that we are underlings.
I dreamed that the ghost of Benton, in contemplation bestrode the summit of the Rocky Mountains; that 'Young America, like a Colossus with monster limbs stretched across a world, was endeavouring to wake from their stupor the nations.
When he came to their arrival among the People of the Mist, and described the inauguration of Otter and Juanna as gods in the temple of the colossus, he noticed that his auditor had let the eyeglass fall from his round eye, and was regarding him with mild amazement. "I am afraid that all this does not interest you," said Leonard stiffly. "On the contrary, Mr. Outram, it interests me very much.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free; The wretched refuse of your teeming shore Send these, the homeless, temptest-tost to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Now, there can be no two ways of thinking among patriotic Americans as to this aspect of the Bartholdi colossus question.
With wild, staring eyes, and summoning up, in an instinct of despair, all his strength and courage, he buried his fingers in Ortog's neck, and drove his nails through the skin of the colossus, which struck and beat with his paws against the young man's breast. The dog's tongue hung out of his mouth, under the suffocating pressure of the hands of the human being struggling for his life.
It was a narrow one, two stories in height, very old, and evidently built towards the end of the fifteenth century. It was almost sealed to the side of the Cathedral, between two buttresses, like a wart which had pushed itself between the two toes of a Colossus.
Thus the shedding of the blood of a Bourbon, and the placing of the crown of France on the head of a soldier of fortune were two acts interpolated in the sanguinary drama of Georges' conspiracy. It must be remembered, too, that during the period of these events we were at war with England, and on the point of seeing Austria and the Colossus of the north form a coalition against the new Emperor.
