He had a laugh I can hear yet made you feel friendly to everybody you saw; feel like stoppin' the next man you met and shakin' hands and havin' a joke with him. "Mel was engaged to Jane Grandis when Governor Bickner died. He had to go and tell her to take somebody else it was the only thing to do. He couldn't give Jane anything but his poverty, and she wasn't used to it.
But the opposite sex differs in having a dark patch at the front edge of the wings, and a single broad cloud just beyond the middle of the wing. The largest of our Dragon flies are the "Devil's Darning-needles," Eschna heros and grandis, seen hawking about our gardens till dusk. They frequently enter houses, carrying dismay and terror among the children.
Even in the Superga itself there are some fossil plants which, according to Heer, have never been found in Switzerland so high as the marine Molasse, such as Banksia longifolia, and Carpinus grandis.
When she comes from the Chalicodoma of the Pebbles or Walls, whose opulent larva saturates her with food, she deserves by her large size the name of Leucopsis gigas, which Fabricius bestows upon her; when she comes from the Chalicodoma of the Sheds, she deserves no more than the name of L. grandis, which is all that Klug grants her.
The change which I had noticed yesterday in the vegetation of the country, was greater and more cheering every mile we went, although as yet the country itself was as desolate and inhospitable as ever. The smaller Banksias now abounded, whilst the Banksia grandis, and many other shrubs common at King George's Sound, were frequently met with.
This, he assures us, is a plea offered by the Tories in defence of themselves, for going about at this juncture to establish the Popish religion among us: What argument does he bring to prove the fact itself? "Quibus indiciis, quo teste, probavit? Nil horum: verbosa et grandis epistola venit" Nothing but this tedious Introduction, wherein he supposes it all along as a thing granted.
Strains of Greek blood can be traced with certainty by their track of folklore and poetry and song, such as still echoes among the vales of Sparta and along the Bosphorus. Greek words are rather rare here, and those that one hears such as sciusciello, caruso, crisommele, etc. have long ago been garnered by scholars like De Grandis, Moltedo, and Salvatore Mele.
or these of Lucretius: Jauaque caput quassans grandis suspirat arator Crebrius incassum magnum cecidisse laborem. What conglomerate plebeian speech of our time could utter the stately grandeur of these Lucretian words, every one of which is noble, and wears the toga?
