This casual private intercourse with Israel, but served to manifest him in his far lesser lights; thrifty, domestic, dietarian, and, it may be, didactically waggish. There was much benevolent irony, innocent mischievousness, in the wise man.
What harm is there in a quiet game of whist?" "Well, I do not know that there is anything wrong in a 'quiet game of cards, per se" commenced Hemstead, didactically. "'Per' who?" asked Lottie, innocently. Just then the party at the other table seemed to explode, but they made it appear as if the cause came from themselves. "Yes, yes, nephew, speak English.
On March 9th, 1869, his lecture at University College, London, on "Greek Myths of Cloud and Storm," began with an attempt to explain in popular terms how a myth differs from mere fiction on the one hand and from allegory on the other, being "not conceived didactically, but didactic in its essence, as all good art is."
It's it's so beastly uncomfortable, you know," he added boyishly, ruffling up his hair with his hand; and concluded didactically, "People must drift apart if their ways lie in quite different spheres; it's inevitable." Denis, who had a boyish reticence, had expanded and explained himself more than usual. Lucy's hand dropped from his knee on to her own.
My impression of the animal was that he and a spruce tree that grew near enough for ready comparison were approximately of the same stature. We returned to the grass park. After some difficulty we found a clear footprint. It was a little larger than that made by a good-sized coon. "So, you see," I admonished didactically, "that lunge probably was not quite so large as you thought."
With a mind naturally alive to honour, he yet conceived the design of taking in hand the "doctrine of the murderous Machiavel;" and displays, broadly and didactically, all the knowledge which he had acquired of these arts. He had no suspicion that a remorseless and selfish policy goes always smoothly to work, and dexterously disguises itself.
"Naturally; since he was done to death in my presence," I replied; for the words awoke memories of one of Dr. Fu-Manchu's most ghastly crimes, always associated in my mind with the cry of a night-hawk. "The divine afflatus should never be neglected," announced Nayland Smith didactically, "wild though its promptings may seem." I saw little of Nayland Smith for the remainder of that day.
"There are not so many princes," he remarked didactically, "as there are peasants. It cannot be just to condemn a prince for a peasant. What, after all is a peasant? he is no better than this!" He took up a handful of soil, and added: "A prince is a star!" We had a dispute over this question and he got angry.
Barnes, that he is writing a history of the Five Nations." "Indians, you know," explained Van Dyke. "A history of the Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onondagas and Senecas, and their 'Long House' should be of great value, Mrs. Collier," said Barnes, a trifle didactically. "When does he expect to have it completed?"
"A feeling of obligation kills a friendship," he told her didactically, "and I want you to be really my friend." "I am." Her voice was distinct, though queerly lack-luster. And she did not look at him again. He went on: "The Evershams will be in on the boat about seven. From the station I'll take you straight to the boat, where your stateroom is surely being kept for you.
