"She'd see that Inchcawdy canna compeer wi' us; we've patronised her weel in Pettybaw!" Truly, as Stevenson says, 'he who goes fishing among the Scots peasantry with condescension for a bait will have an empty basket by evening. At eleven o'clock a boy arrived at Bide-a-Wee with an interesting-looking package, which I promptly opened.
The main entrance was in the Rue Saint Honoré, and over its portal were the graven arms of Richelieu, surmounted by the cardinal's hat and the inscription: "Palais Cardinal." Like his English compeer, Wolsey, Richelieu's ardour for building knew no restraint. He added block upon block of buildings and yard upon yard to garden walls until all was a veritable labyrinth.
Had it put on airs and spread itself out into the broad-margined and large-lettered octavo, it might have stood in libraries as a worthy compeer of the ablest chronicles. Such a presentation would not have been beyond its desert, and would have been more consistent with the author's type of mind.
The farmer, after giving the impostors a severe chastisement, let them depart to practise their humbug in some other quarter. These two "Elders of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," were honest Joe and his worthy compeer and coadjutor, Sidney Rigdon.
Did kings enter the lists with kings, where, through broad Christendom, find a compeer for your Highness?" "Your brother, Sir Count, if fame lies not," returned Edward, slightly laughing, and lightly touching the Bastard's shoulder, "were a fearful lance to encounter, even though Charlemagne himself were to revive with his twelve paladins at his back.
The innocence of the American girl is neither an affectation, nor a prejudiced fable, nor a piece of stupidity. The German woman, quoted by Mr. Bryce, found her American compeer furchtbar frei, but she had at once to add und furchtbar fromm. "The innocence of the American girl passes abysses of obscenity without stain or knowledge."
The naturalized Norman noble spoke the language of the Gael, and retained his Brehons and Bards like his Milesian compeer. For generations the daughters of the elder race had been the mothers of his house; and the milk of Irish foster-mothers had nourished the infancy of its heirs. The Geraldines, the McWilliams, even the Butlers, among their tenants and soldiers, were now as Irish as the Irish.
Yet the ties of youthful attachment remained, and together we mourned the loss of our compeer and companion in youth. I was a member of the Legislature when Judge Nesbitt, by act of the Legislature, was admitted to the Bar, he having not attained his majority, and by a rule could not be admitted in the ordinary manner.
A successor who would not and could not succeed him, yet who attended him as his shadow and his evil genius a confidential colleague who betrayed his confidence, mocked his projects, derided his authority, and yet complained of ill treatment a rival who was neither compeer nor subaltern, and who affected to be his censor a functionary of a purely anomalous character, sheltering himself under his abnegation of an authority which he had not dared to assume, and criticising measures which he was not competent to grasp; such was the Duke of Medina Coeli in Alva's estimation.
Yet the fertility of the Irish wife exceeded that of her French compeer by 44 per cent in 1880, and by no less than 84 per cent in 1900. And since that time the prolificity of the Irish mother has so increased that she is now, approximately speaking, inferior only to the Dutch or Finnish mother in this respect.
