Quite abruptly she said to me: "Who is Mrs. Falchion?" "A widow it is said rich, unencumbered," I as abruptly answered. "But I suppose even widows may have pedigrees, and be conjugated in the past tense," was the cool reply. She drew herself up a little proudly. I was greatly astonished.
Mackenzie laughed, but strained and unnaturally, his own tough face burning with a hot tide of mounting blood. "Somebody else would have taught you you'd have conjugated it in another language, maybe," he said. "Yes, you say it's the easiest lesson to learn," she nodded, soberly now. "Have you taught it to many many girls?" "According to the book, Joan," he returned; "only that way."
The functions of a Collector, sketched by Ali Baba in an entertaining medley, have increased enormously of late years, and the position is now said to be less desirable than of old, when it was amusingly said of every member of civilian society, that the verb "to collect" was conjugated thus: "I am a collector, you are a collector, he should be a collector, they will be collectors," and so on, ad infinitum.
At first the teacher really tried to strike sparks out of this stone; but when he found he could not, he soon enough gave up all hope. Matthew Fottner made no objection at all when they no longer consulted his opinion on the Gallic War or Caius Julius Caesar, and conjugated the Greek verbs without his cooperation.
Strictly speaking, the Indian tongues consist only of the verb, which may be said to absorb all the other parts of speech. Declensions, articles, and cases are deficient; the adjective has a verbal termination; the idea expressed by the noun takes a verbal form; every thing is conjugated, nothing declined. The conjugation changes with every slight variation in the action spoken of.
'Mr. Pickwick! exclaimed Mr. Magnus, lost in astonishment, 'what is the meaning of this, Sir? What is the meaning of it, Sir? added Mr. Magnus, in a threatening, and a louder tone. 'Sir, said Mr. Pickwick, somewhat indignant at the very sudden manner in which Mr. Peter Magnus had conjugated himself into the imperative mood, 'I decline answering that question. 'You decline it, Sir? said Mr.
It was very obvious that no impression was to be made upon the man by formalists. Poor Berty having conjugated his paradigm conscientiously through all its moods and tenses, returned to his green board in the council-room with his proces verbal of the conference.
For, upon my honour, the squire spoke of making me his heir or words to that effect neatly conjugated before you came back; and rather than be a curate like that Reverend Hart of yours, who hands raisins and almonds, and orange-flower biscuits to your aunt the way of all the Reverends who drop down on Riversley I 'd betray my bosom friend.
He gave us the ball; and on the very next down Rearick conjugated a French verb perfectly for a touchdown. All of this was duly announced to the stadium and the excitement was intense. I guess there were as many as two hundred Chautauqua salutes after that touchdown.
Nevertheless, some words are an exception, as though to prove that the language was originally common to all. The preterite of the German dialect is formed by adding ium to the imperative, which is always the root of the verb. In the Spanish Romany the verbs are all conjugated on the model of the first conjugation of the Castilian verbs.
