Did the orthodox party resort to prophecy, which is seldom very complimentary or cheerful in its utterances? This is certain, that while Balliol College was building there was a stir among the Benedictines, and an effort made to assert themselves and take their place among the learned. John Giffard started his great college for the reception of student monks at Oxford.
All at her work the village maiden sings; Nor while she turns the giddy wheel around, Revolves the sad vicissitude of things . I thought I had heard these lines before. JOHNSON. 'I fancy not, Sir; for they are in a detached poem, the name of which I do not remember, written by one Giffard, a parson. I expected Mr. Kenneth M'Aulay , the minister of Calder, who published the history of St.
Thomas Jackson, was called on the jury list. I at once challenged him. He was then put into the witness-box, and on examination he admitted that he "had expressed an opinion adverse to the defendants in this case." Then ensued a bit of comedy between Judge North and Sir Hardinge Giffard, who both assumed a wonderful air of impartiality.
Indeed, the cause of the long delay in the construction of a steerable balloon was that a suitable engine could not be found. A steam-engine, with a boiler of sufficient power to propel a balloon, is so heavy that it would require a balloon of impossible size to lift it. One of the first serious attempts to steer a balloon by means of engine power was that made by M. Giffard in 1852.
If ever you want work, Sir Gualtier Giffard on the Welsh border will bid you welcome if you say that you were sent by Hugh l'Estrange." Moved by sudden impulse Dickon told in a few words the story of Audrey's service and their promise. The knight held out his hand in open kindliness. "You did well," he said.
By the double title of Edward's personal delegation and the recognition of the estates, Giffard, Mortimer, and Burnell ruled the country for the two years which were to elapse before the sovereign's return. Their government was just, economical, and peaceful.
By a succession of changes, which it is impossible here to describe in detail, considerable alterations had taken place in the management of Drury Lane. In the first place, Wilks was dead, and his share in the Patent was represented by his widow. Booth also was dead, and Mrs. Booth had sold her share to Giffard of Goodman's Fields, while the elder Cibber had retired.
Why was her heart so cold? like lead in her bosom. "I am grateful for everything." "Then say you are glad I am going to marry M. Ralph, who loves me dearly." "Then I shall be glad you are to marry him. But I am sorry for M. Giffard, in his lonely grave." "Oh, horrors, child! Do you think I ought to be buried in the same grave? There, run away. You give me the shivers."
Her utter ignorance of the outside world, her quaint frankness and innocence tempted Giffard to play off on her curiosity and tell wonderful tales of the mother country. And then Wanamee would recount Indian legends and strange charms and rites used by the sages of the Abenaquis in the time of her forefathers, before any white man had been seen in the country.
As they left the place the noise seemed to subside, though it was like the roar of wild animals. "Am I to remain here all winter with these savages? Can I not return with M. de Champlain?" pleaded Madame Giffard. "Such a time would be almost a Godsend in the winter," declared Destournier.
