"Some of these texts whuff, whuff like a conjuror's hat whuff make 'em fit anything." A man-servant appeared and handed a silver box of lozenges into which the old bishop dipped with a trembling hand. "Tricks of that sort," he said, "won't do, Scrope among professionals. "And besides," he was inspired; "true religion is old wine as old as the soul.
Darwin has written a whole book on the many curious and wonderful ways in which orchids tempt bees and other insects to fertilize them. We can only take the simplest, but I think you will say that even this blossom is more like a conjuror's box than you would have supposed it possible that a flower could be. Let us examine it closely. But where are the anthers, and where is the stigma?
We are of course to suppose that his Satanic Majesty got possession of the conjuror's soul however, as per agreement. There is a story about Agrippa, which shows conclusively how "a little learning" may be "a dangerous thing." When Agrippa was absent on a short journey, his student in magic slipped into the study and began to read spells out of a great book.
But beneath all the glitter of the question there was really nothing to take her out. Here was her father, here were the things she loved; yonder was novelty and loneliness. Her existence at Conjuror's House was perhaps a little complex, but it was familiar. She knew the people, and she took a daily and unwearying delight in the kindness and simplicity of their bearing toward herself.
I should imagine that in extenso it was a good deal duller than Parismus. And of course the comparative praise which has been given to that book must be subject to the reminder that it is what it is a romance of disorderly and what some people call childish adventure, and of the above-ticketed "conjuror's supernatural."
"God of heaven!" said Duvall, in a voice whose calmness rendered it doubly impressive and terrible "am I the sport of some delusion some conjuror's trick? Do I dream or do these eyes actually behold that which appalls my soul? Speak, Duchess for sister I will not call you and you, white-faced craven what is the meaning of this scene?" But neither the Duchess nor Mr.
When first I woke I seemed to be still straining my eyes in a dream, at such a curious, haunting face not very nice. I am glad, I am glad you were here. 'What was the dream-face like? came the muttered question. 'Dark and sharp, and rather dwelling eyes; you know those long faces one sees in dreams: like a hawk, like a conjuror's.
But the traveller heard it, and just as the princess slipped through the window into her bedroom, and the magician turned round to fly back to the mountain, he seized him by the long black beard, and with his sabre cut off the wicked conjuror's head just behind the shoulders, so that he could not even see who it was.
Hope's passing reflection was, "How alike is the superstition of the ignorant and of the wicked! My poor neighbours stealing to the conjuror's tent in the lane, and this wretched lady, hope alike to bribe Heaven in their extremity they by gifts and rites, she by remorse and reparation. How different from the faith which say; `Not as I will, but as thou wilt!" "Where is Margaret?
