Have there not been met with in these Amazonian forests reptiles from thirty to thirty-five feet long? and even, according to M. Carrey, do not some exist whose length reaches forty-seven feet, and whose girth is that of a hogshead? Had one of these sucurijus, indeed, got on to the raft he would have proved as formidable as an alligator.
Moreover, the number of countries opened to the onsweeping Faith, and the number of languages in which its literature has been translated and printed, is now raised to eighty-three and forty-seven, respectively.

"Mayn't I come and help, dear lady?" interrupted Hector. "I know all about the subject. I had to buy forty-seven at Monte Carlo, and see them all tried on, too and only lately! Do ask Marie to open that door a little wider; I will decide in a minute how it should be." "Insolent!" said the widow, who spoke French with perfect fluency and a quite marvellously pure American accent.
Lalun's real husband, for even ladies of Lalun's profession in the East must have husbands, was a big jujube-tree. Her Mamma, who had married a fig-tree, spent ten thousand rupees on Lalun's wedding, which was blessed by forty-seven clergymen of Mamma's church, and distributed five thousand rupees in charity to the poor.

At any rate, she rammed the submarine and must have appeared, through their periscope, just as a huge wave. How excited those French people were over us Australians!
There were forty-seven men who did not answer to their names they had been summoned to answer for their lives, poor fellows! and there was also the swearing lieutenant not to be found. Well, at last we got the hands on deck, and put her before the wind, scudding under bare poles.
I may remark here, in passing, that the McKinley Law was not passed until October, and we were immediately plunged into the campaign. The McKinley Law was the issue, and the Democrats swept everything before them, carrying the House by the overwhelming majority of ninety-seven. The Senate still remained Republican, forty-seven Republicans to thirty-nine Democrats.
'Yes it is true, answered the poor creature in broken tones. 'Say it! You shall say the words! Her teeth chattered. Transfixed by fear, her lips moved mechanically. 'I, Clara Kurtz, was married to you in the year eighteen hundred and forty-seven. The woman's incredible vanity survived everything.
When he took a rare moment "off," he did so with the touching, confessing eyes of a man of forty-seven caught in the act of handling a relic of infancy sticking on the head of a broken soldier or trying the lock of a wooden gun. It was essentially, in him, the IMITATION of depravity which, for amusement, as might have been, he practised "keeping up."
