"You never worked a bit in the night time, Aunt Peggy," said Phillis; "and you know it." "Worked all time," said Aunt Peggy, "niggers aint made for nothin else. Now, kase Death's somewhar, wantin somefin, thinks it must be me." "I didn't say 'twas you, Aunt Peggy," said Phillis. "Wants somefin," said Aunt Peggy. "Tell you what, Phillis," and she laughed, "wants Miss Alice."
The Caid of Mechuar in Morocco favoured his subjects in some such fashion several years since, but the Moors, being men of spirit, fell on him one day, and left him at death's door on a dung heap. Meanwhile, Sanchez de Toca continues to talk nonsense in these parts, and is considered by some to be one of the bulwarks of the country.
Let us not heed these things! for light as is the task to traders in death's dark trappings; painful and soul-subduing are those withering details to the grieving and heart-struck mourner! We left George lying half insensible by the side of his dead wife.
There was a painful humour in the association. He smiled, then turned his head away, for old memories flashed through his brain he had been an acolyte once; he had served at the altar. Suddenly Dubarre rose, took the glasses from the shelf and placed them in the middle of the table the death's head for the feast.
Look at the large poppy, for instance, fiery red it is, like fever and insanity! But in the heart of the blossom is a black cross, just like the cross on the chemist's label which he puts on his poisons. In the middle of the cross is a Roman vase with little grooves. When these grooves are pricked the drug runs out, the powerful drug, which will call either death, or death's gentle brother, sleep.
It was April, however, in its last days, before Andrew had strength sufficient to go down the cliff, and the first news he heard in the village, was that Mistress Braelands had lain at death's door also.
He relied upon the support of Lord Chatham, who was now at death's door, but who had always expressed himself forcibly against the conduct of the government towards the colonists. The great orator entered the House, supported by two of his friends, pale, wasted, swathed in flannel beneath his embroidered robe. He with difficulty dragged himself to his place.
Indeed, these have become so expected that a change is quite a relief to a guest, who would welcome even the death's head that was the invariable ornament of the Egyptian feasts. Any pictures which are lively and cheerful in suggestion are suitable. Those that have a story to tell or a lesson to point are never out of place in a room frequented by children.
He who has conquered death by undergoing it is death's Lord as well as ours, and when He wills to bring His friends home to Himself, saith to that black-robed servant, 'Go, and he goeth; do this and he doeth it. The vision which John saw long after this on another shore, washed by a stormier sea, spoke the same truth as does this majestic 'I will' 'He that liveth and became dead and is alive for evermore, is by virtue of His divine eternal life, and has become in His humanity by virtue of His death and resurrection the Lord of life and death.
"No, I was invited to Maundrell Abbey last week, but couldn't manage it, of course. And I knew she was to be here. Nothing has gone wrong but I had rather a shock this morning. I met Zeal at the club. He looks like a death's head. He vowed he was taking even better care of himself than usual, but his chest is bad again. He talked about going to Davos the very word makes me sick!
