Monk and the Duke may have been responsible, but they were blamed as though they, for their own special amusement, detained gentlemen in town. Indeed the gentlemen were not detained. They grumbled and growled and then fled, but their grumblings and growlings were heard even after their departure. "Well; what do you think of it all?" the Duke said one day to Mr.
But while the people choose to maintain it as it is, while they are satisfied with it, and refuse to change it, who has given, or who can give, to the legislatures a right to alter it, either by interference, construction, or otherwise?

The gentlemen admitted that at once, but the engineer asked: How did he know that "You haven't made borings yourself, I suppose?" And Geissler smiled, as if he had bored hundreds of miles down through the globe, and covered up the holes again after.

One of these city gentlemen, I bet! Now, you girls, you ain’t goin’ to let that floor get cold?” Ántonia seemed frightened at first, and kept looking questioningly at Lena and Tiny over Willy O’Reilly’s shoulder.

Drysdale and I waved our hands to him, but Barlas muttered something between his teeth.
In one corner the auctioneer mounted a box, and read the conditions of sale, and talked hard about the breed of the cattle. Then: "How much for the imported cow, Silky? No.1 on the catalogue. How much to start her, gentlemen?" Silky rushed into the yard with a shower of sticks flying after her and glared about, finally fixing her gaze on Dad, who was trying to find her number in the catalogue.
Then one of the Duke's coaches, in which was the Baron de Lesley, Envoy Extraordinary from the Emperor, and one person with him; then another of the Duke's coaches with more of his gentlemen. Then another of the German Ambassador's coaches with more of his family in it. The Duke's pages walked by his coach, and had gold chains across their shoulders.
