"Two hours or maybe three, if the men who row tire that is if the wind holds. If it freshens, we may beat them yet." "I hear that you doubt that last," she said. "Now, is it still in your minds to die rather than fall into the hands of yon men?" "Lady," said I, "we three would have no care for ourselves. We have to think of you." "I will die, sooner," she answered, with set lips.
Many a time, when he has ridden all night, he has said to me at dawn, "Take the watch, Boy; if the trail freshens, call me." Then he goes to sleep. He knows he can trust me, because I have a reputation. A scout horse that has a reputation does not play with it.
Far distant as Marcus Aurelius may be from the traitor, it is still from the selfsame well that they both draw the holy water that freshens their soul; and this well is not to be found in the intellect. For, strangely enough, it is not in our reason that moral life has its being; and he who would let reason govern his life would be the most wretched of men.
Attack him with complaisance: if the air freshens, advise him carefully to cover up his precious head: disengage him from the crowd by opposing your shoulders to it: closely attach your ear to him if chatty. Is he immoderately fond of being praised? Pay him home, till he shall cry out, with his hands lifted up to heaven, "Enough:" and puff up the swelling bladder with tumid speeches.
When it occurs on a small scale, it may have arisen from the alternate occupation of certain spaces by river- water and the sea; for in the flood season the river forces back the ocean and freshens it over a large area, depositing at the same time its sediment; after which the salt-water again returns, and, on resuming its former place, brings with it sand, mud, and marine shells.
"I'll admit I couldn't," said Cyrilla. "And Mildred, you're making a mistake." "Then I'll have to suffer for it. I must do what seems best to me." "But I'm sure you're wrong. I never knew anyone to act as you're acting. Everyone rests and freshens up." Mildred lost patience, almost lost her temper. "You're trying to tempt me to ruin myself," she said. "Please stop it.
Where their shadow touches, colour dies out of the world. The air grows chill and deadly as they advance. The trade-wind freshens, the trees begin to sigh, and all the windmills in Monterey are whirling and creaking and filling their cisterns with the brackish water of the sands. It takes but a little while till the invasion is complete. The sea, in its lighter order, has submerged the earth.
The Gard is not to be a factory or an hotel; it must be frankly built for our delight. It is delight that we must follow, everything that brims the channel of life, stimulates, freshens, enlivens, tantalises, attracts. It must at all costs be beautiful.
We're going all ten knots even with this breeze; we ought to fetch the place this time to-morrow. Before that if it freshens." "I am greatly disturbed," said Lestrange.
The darkness gathers, the breeze freshens, the waves come tumbling out of the east, and the motion of the ship increases as she rears upward to meet them. The groups on deck are thinning out fast, as the passengers go below to enjoy the fearsome novelty of the first night at sea, and to compose themselves to sleep as it were in the hollow of God's hand.
