My Galveston friend should not work himself into a fit of hysteria because I declared that the George doctrine has had its day, it being sheer folly to quarrel with a self-evident fact. When Henry George first flamed forth he made a great deal of money out of his writings, and has thus far shown no more aversion to the silver than has your humble servant.
I tell you that we are going to make land." "Make land!" Rude phrase of the country, summing up in two words all the heartbreaking labour that transforms the incult woods, barren of sustenance, to smiling fields, ploughed and sown. Samuel Chapdelaine's eyes flamed with enthusiasm and determination as he spoke.
"That's calling me a liar again!" flamed Cartwright. "I'm sorry if it is," returned Greg coolly, and turned toward his door. "You cannot call me a liar!" cried Captain Cartwright, taking a quick step forward, his fists clenched. "Apparently I don't have to," scoffed Holmes. "You're eager to claim the title for yourself." Up flew the other captain's fist.
"Not if you had seen Peter first, Di. There's nothing reasonable about a girl, I do believe. She loves or else she just doesn't." Diane fired a question at her point-blank. "Have you met your Peter? Is that why you hang back?" The color flamed into Sheba's face. "Of course not. You do say the most outrageous things, Di." They had driven to Willow Creek over the river road.
On the whole, this Teutsch Ritterdom, for the first century and more, was a grand phenomenon; and flamed like a bright blessed beacon through the night of things, in those Northern Countries. For above a century, we perceive, it was the rallying place of all brave men who had a career to seek on terms other than vulgar.
"They all join heart and soul with me in the determination to hold my home here in the name of his majesty the king, so long as there is a roof above us and a piece of wall to act as shelter, to help us keep your rascally rebellious cut-throats out of the place." Fred felt all of a tingle, and his eyes flamed as he gazed up defiantly at the speaker.
Far away in the interior arose lofty mountains and volcanoes, while behind us flamed the burning peak which we had passed. Here the athaleb wheeled in long, circuitous flights, which grew lower and lower, until at length he descended upon the sandy beach, where I saw a vast sea-monster lying dead. It had evidently been thrown up here by the sea.
Grant me the last favor I have to ask of you I demand it in my father's name." "Demand!" repeated the damsel; her cheeks flamed, her eye sparkled angrily, and her hands clutched the opposite sides of the letter as though to tear it across.
Metallic gleams ran along the files. The parted water broke in luminous spray, and the current flamed away red between the poplars, in the distance, towards the quadrangular towers. Mascalico showed itself on a little hill, among olive trees, asleep. The dogs were barking here and there, with a persistent fury of reply.
The fire-ships floated slowly nearer, and at last struck heavily against the stockade-work. There, covered with tar, pitch, rosin, and gunpowder, they flamed, flared, and exploded, during a brief period, with much vigour, and then burned harmlessly out. One of the objects for which they had been sent to set fire to the palisade was not accomplished.
