The caretaker had switched on the lights in the big chandelier. "Sorry to be late, Anne. Morning, Lutie. How's my god-son? Couldn't get here a minute sooner. You see, Anne, I've got other clients besides you. Braden, for instance. I've been carrying out his instructions in regard to that confounded trusteeship. The whole matter is to be looked after by a Trust Company from now on.
Her husband, the Neapolitan ambassador, entreated Louis XV. to be god-father to the child; the king consented and presented his god-son with a regiment; but the mother, who did not like the military career for her son, refused it. The Marshal de Richelieu told me that he had never known the king laugh so heartily as when he heard of that singular refusal.
Yet against her the roughest of them never said an evil word; not from fear, but because they knew that none could be said. Martina was talking, she who always loved to talk, if not of one thing, then of another. "God-son," she said, "although you are a great grumbler, I tell you that in my judgment you were born under a lucky star, or saint, call it which you will.
I saluted the Empress, who bowed graciously and said: "General Olaf nay, I forgot, General Michael, your god-father Stauracius has something to say which I trust will please you as much as it does him and me. Speak, Stauracius." "Beloved god-son," began Stauracius, in a voice of sullen rage, "it has pleased the Augusta to appoint you "
Ferragut never again had an opportunity to see his god-father, who died while he was on one of his trips. Upon disembarking at Barcelona, Doña Cristina handed him a letter written by the poet almost in his death-agony. "Valencia, my son! Always Valencia!" And after repeating this recommendation many times, he announced that he had made his god-son his heir.
Coleridge Mr. Coleridge's contrivance to cheat the doctor Mr. Coleridge leaves Bristol for Calne Letters of Mr. Southey respecting Mr. Coleridge Letter of Mr. Coleridge from Calne Mr. Coleridge's letter, requiring the truth to be told of his opium habits, after his death Mr. Coleridge's letter to his god-son, Kinnaird Letters from Mr. Southey concerning Mr.
This letter, in Antonia's handwriting, was signed by Don Jose, who appealed to the "young and gifted Costaguanero" on public grounds, and privately opened his heart to his talented god-son, a man of wealth and leisure, with wide relations, and by his parentage and bringing-up worthy of all confidence.
Look not so troubled; it is really most simple. You know Stauracius, the eunuch, is to be your god-father, which is very fortunate for you, since, although he looks on you with doubt and jealousy, to blind or murder his own god-son would cause too much scandal even in Constantinople.
As for Count Algarotti, he was ready to be answerable for his god-son, that is to guarantee four thousand ducats to the wife, provided her dowry was worth that amount. Those were only the preliminaries; the rest belonged to my province.
"I think there is not another as handsome." "I agree with you, Lucy: you and I do often agree in opinion, in taste, I think; or at least in judgment." "Do we?" I said, somewhat doubtfully. "I believe if you had been a boy, Lucy, instead of a girl my mother's god-son instead of her god-daughter, we should have been good friends: our opinions would have melted into each other."
