Captain Nepean has paid every attention to me, and has been so kind as to let us have a cooper: he dines with me to-morrow. I am collecting you some beautiful birds, and land animals, and other curiosities for you. The ship remains tight and strong, and in good condition. I will write you by the Gorgon man of war; she sails in about a month or six week's time. I am, Sirs, Your humble servant,
The king is he who all his life long receives ambassadors, gives tiresome audiences, listens to annihilating discourses, goes in state to Notre-Dame, dines in public once a year, and is pompously buried in St. Denis when he dies. The master is he who commands and can enforce obedience, who puts an end to intriguing, and can silence old women as well as priests.
When he dines alone in chambers, as he has dined to-day, and has his bit of fish and his steak or chicken brought in from the coffee-house, he descends with a candle to the echoing regions below the deserted mansion, and heralded by a remote reverberation of thundering doors, comes gravely back encircled by an earthy atmosphere and carrying a bottle from which he pours a radiant nectar, two score and ten years old, that blushes in the glass to find itself so famous and fills the whole room with the fragrance of southern grapes.
What will he be at twenty?" The sub-prefect listened mechanically to these remarks. Julien gossiped on, his master listening, absorbed in thought about the stranger. "Wait here," he said to the man as he turned with slow steps to re-enter the salon. "What a mess!" he thought to himself, "a man who dines at Gondreville and spends the night at Cinq-Cygnes! Mysteries indeed!"
"I wish I could see her," I ventured. "I would give anything for a peep at her face unobserved." "I don't know how I can manage that; she is very shy, and never shows herself in the front of the house. She even dines in her own room, having begged for that privilege till after I was married and the household settled on a new basis. But you can go to her room with me.
Because I was born with a caul; my mother has got it, but I'll give it to you. You'll see! I shall soon be in the government." "You!" "Why shouldn't I be the Baron Gaudissart, peer of France? Haven't they twice elected Monsieur Popinot as deputy from the fourth arrondissement? He dines with Louis Phillippe. There's Finot; he is going to be, they say, a member of the Council.
Say nothing of this, however, and least of all to Ronayne." "Not a word, dearest. Good bye for the present. I must look after the dinner. You know who dines with us." A look expressive of the deep sense she entertained of the consideration of her friend, was the only commentary of Miss Heywood, as she passed into her mother's apartment. It was now the middle of May.
Bacon. Here is a young fellow that dines with all the great men in London, and yet he'll take his mutton-chop with you and me quite contentedly. There's nothing like the affability of the old English gentleman." "O, no, nothing," said Mr. Bacon. "And you wonder why he should go on living up three pair of stairs with me, don't you, now? Well, it is a queer taste.
"Ah, dear Cure, think of the irony of it all that a man be driven, by the very truth in his blood, to that strangest of all impostures to impersonate himself He did it too well to be the mere comedian; I felt that all the time. I shall show his relics now with more pride than sorrow. Prince Pierre dines with us to-night.
The speed of the wind could be read off on a dial below the arms. In addition there was an instrument called a Dines anemometer which supplied interesting tracings of the force, duration, and direction of the wind.
