There they observed two enormous heaps of stones known as the Parson and the Deacon; for it had been the custom from immemorial times for every traveller to fling a big stone as a "sacrifice" for good luck upon the Parson's heap and a small stone upon the Deacon's.
The Huns may stand out a long while, but when the time comes they may collapse all at once like the deacon's 'one-hoss shay." The Americans in the meantime had thoroughly reorganized the captured positions and had held them against a number of strong counter-attacks.
In fact, there's nothing that keeps its youth, So far as I know, but a tree and truth. FIRST OF NOVEMBER, the Earthquake-day. There are traces of age in the one-hoss-shay, A general flavor of mild decay, But nothing local, as one may say. There couldn't be, for the Deacon's art Had made it so like in every part That there wasn't a chance for one to start.
The women gazed at each other with lips closed tightly. Elverson's behaviour was beyond their power of expression. Miss Perkins turned to the pastor, as though he were somehow to blame for the deacon's backsliding, but before she could find words to argue the point, the timid little deacon appeared in the doorway, utterly unconscious of the hostile reception that Hasty had prepared for him.
We have vestments during the week, but not at the mid-day Celebration." Mark had not intended to attach himself to what he considered a too indefinite Catholicism; but inasmuch as the Bishop had found him this job he made up his mind to give to it at any rate his deacon's year and his first year as a priest. "I've been brought up in the vanguard of the Movement," he admitted.
All winter I have noticed that great local interest has been taken in the fashion journals that treat of house decoration and etiquette, and on one occasion, when making a call at one of our most comfortable farms, I found the worthy Deacon's wife poring over an ornamental volume, entitled "Hints to those about to enter Society."
It will be a sin to write to-morrow, but now would be the very time; my mind would be set at rest." His Reverence looked at the deacon's imploring face, thought of the disagreeable Pyotr, and consented to dictate. He made the deacon sit down to his table and began. "Well, write . . . 'Christ is risen, dear son . . . exclamation mark.
The deacon's hand in a plush cuff accepted a three-rouble note unobtrusively, and the deacon said he would put it down in the register, and his new boots creaking jauntily over the flagstones of the empty church, he went to the altar. A moment later he peeped out thence and beckoned to Levin. Thought, till then locked up, began to stir in Levin's head, but he made haste to drive it away.
Dick looked seriously at Bud for a moment, hardly knowing whether or not to doubt him, but Bud's face was as grave as a deacon's. "I don't understand it, I'm sure," he said. "But where do they get the shade to give to the men?" "That's easy enough. It's always gathered on dark nights, generally late in ther fall er in ther winter, so thet it'll be real cool." "But where do they get it?"
This was a most astoundingly generous proposition on the Deacon's part, and to tell the truth he did not himself fully understand his mental processes when he made it; but it seemed to be drawn from him by a kind of instinct that he was not standing well in his elder daughter's books.
