As in a fog she saw him there with arms extended, waiting to carry her across the dark ford. Then, by God's mercy, her brain cleared and she knew. At the Court of Europe's greatest prince men strive with each other doing honor to the beautiful wife of the new American Ambassador, Anselm Brevoort.
She was assisting, as the French say, at one of the gayest scenes of Europe's gayest capital, and she was conscious of being absolutely unaffected by the gaiety around her. The costumes were certainly interesting to look at, and the music good to listen to, and to that extent she was amused, but the ABANDON of the scene made no appeal to her.
The Eagle of America flaps its wings; the Stars of America illumine Europe's night; and the Star-spangled banner, taking under its protection the Hungarian flag, fluttering loftily and proudly, tells the tyrants of the world that the right of freedom must sway, and not the whim of despots but the Law of Nations must rule. Give me your lungs, and then I will go on.
I proclaim that your shout frightens Europe's base thrones; But remember, my boys, there is luck in whole bones; So, take the advice of a friend wait a while, In a century or two you'll revenge the Green Isle. I know in my soul, at the very first shot That your whole monster meeting would fly at full trot; What horrid mêlée, then, of popping and flashing!
As for Clara, though already in her eighteenth year, she was one of the most famous pianists in the world, and favourably compared, in many respects, especially in point of poetical interpretation, with Liszt, Thalberg, Chopin, and Europe's brilliantest virtuosos.
And besides, the twist of Europe's foot had not struck his shin only. "A trick like that is learned at Saint-Lazare," he had reflected as he got up. Carlos dismissed the bailiff, paying him liberally, and as he did so, said to the driver of the cab, "To the Perron, Palais Royal." "The rascal!" thought Contenson as he heard the order. "There is something up!"
In previous centuries, Europe exported its excess labor and surplus capacity to its colonies an economic system known as "mercantilism". The markets of central, southern, and eastern Europe West Europe's hinterland are replete with abundant raw materials and dirt-cheap, though well-educated, labor.
In fact, the economic phase was perhaps the more important factor in the rapidity and completeness of Europe's success. To be sure, some Eastern lands were subjugated at a stroke by naked military force, as in the French expedition to Algiers, the Russian conquest of central Asia, and the Italian descent upon Tripoli.
"Am Rhein habe ich gehort dass viel bezahlt wird fur...." "Take 'em away! Semmes, you go and tell General Jackson all Europe's here. Mean you to go? Of course I don't mean you to go, you thundering idiot! Always could pick Caesar out of the crowd. When I find him I obey him, I don't send him messages. ! ! They've developed sharpshooters.
Russian capitalism is far more "Anglo-Saxon" than Old Europe's. The Federation has an educated but cheap and abundant labor force, a patchy welfare state, exportable natural endowments, a low tax burden and a pressing need for unhindered inflows of foreign investment. Russia's only hope of steady economic growth is the expansion of its energy behemoths abroad.
