She, too, was flushed and looking almost young. "Ah! If we could do the things we want to. "That's very pretty, Edward; but you should, you know for a tonic." He shook his head and smiled. "You're a temptress, Leila. Will you let Nollie know, please, that we can take her back with us? Can you let her off to-morrow?" "For as long as you like; she wants a rest. I've been talking to Gratian.
In the same part of his code, he repeats and confirms a law of the emperors Valentinian, Valens, and Gratian, inflicting death on any one who should insult seafaring men. In another law, adopted into the same code from the statutes of former emperors, judges and magistrates are forbidden, on pain of death, to give them any manner of trouble.
What, keep a cake locked up seven days together, and not give one's friends a bit! That is monstrous! But let us have the other now. "There was another little gentleman who went to school with Henry and Francis likewise, and his name was Gratian. His mother sent him a cake one day, because she loved him, and, indeed, he loved her also very much.
When he returned to the little sitting-room they were still standing by the hearth, talking in low voices. Gratian must surely have been stooping over the fire, for her face was red, almost swollen, and her eyes looked as if she had scorched them. Leila said lightly: "Well, Edward, aren't the men delightful? When are we going to another concert together?"
She went without saying good night she knew her father would come to her room that last evening.

"Dad, promise me not to worry about Nollie; we'll take care of her."
The pride and wish of the Roman emperor to excel in an art, in which he might be surpassed by the meanest of his slaves, reminded the numerous spectators of the examples of Nero and Commodus, but the chaste and temperate Gratian was a stranger to their monstrous vices; and his hands were stained only with the blood of animals.
When they got out at Bristol the soldier shook his hand warmly, but the woman still gave him her resentful stare, and he thought dreamily: 'The war! How it affects everyone!

How much more like a modern dedication, than one of Dryden's day, both as to length and matter. GRATIAN. Probatum est.
Gratian flushed. "Wear it. I don't see why outsiders should know. For the sake of Dad I think you ought. There's the parish." Noel slipped the ring back on to her finger. "Would you?" "I can't tell. I think I would." Noel laughed suddenly. "I'm going to get cynical; I can feel it in my bones. How is Daddy looking?" "Very thin; Mr.
That memory of blood was still fresh, yet in that hour of overwhelming danger Gratian called young Theodosius to be his honoured colleague and deliverer. Early in 379 he gave him the conduct of the Gothic war. With it went the Empire of the East.
