People who didn't know used to stop in front of the Place and listen, and think it was a Surgical Institute. There were enough Soprani in this one Plant to keep Maurice Grau stocked up for a Hundred Years. Every one thought she was the Particular One who would sooner or later send Melba back to Australia and drive Sembrich into the Continuous. Lutie was just about as Nifty as the Next One.
I do not blame Grau so much for caution as for lack of judgment." "He's a blockhead!" cried Mr. Merrick testily. "He is. I'm astonished they should place so much power in the hands of one so slow witted." "He has insulted us," continued Uncle John. "He has dared to arrest three free-born Americans." "Who came into a troubled country, occupied by a conquering army, without being invited."
Jim immediately guessed that Admiral Grau had, like a prudent man, had a leadsman at work on board his ship, and that the Peruvian skipper had suddenly found himself in danger of running aground through standing so close inshore. The two hostile warships then eased down to half-speed, and kept on a course parallel with the shore, and at a distance of about a mile away from it.
All the upper spars of these craft were sent ashore, and their lower yards, where they were retained to serve as derricks, were cock-billed. The head-booms were unrigged, and all but the standing bowsprits of the wooden vessels were landed. The senior Peruvian naval officer afloat was at this time Captain Don Miguel Grau, a native of Piura, and a man of about forty-five years of age.
What other legislator had the divine audacity to make its observance one of the foundation laws of his constitution, and to give it precedence, even over all moral enactments? Professor R.F. Grau of the conservative school of theology writes: "God is a living, holy, loving Being.
The city now being occupied by the Germans, our friends found few citizens on the streets of Ostend and these hurried nervously on their way. The streets swarmed with German soldiery. Arriving at headquarters they found that the commandant was too busy to attend to the Red Cross Americans. He ordered them taken before Colonel Grau for examination. "But why examine us at all?" protested Mr.
If Grau does not secure a certain great operatic star with whom he has quarrelled, then Fräulein Gluyas will be brought out with a great flourish of trumpets under a stage name to be selected later. She will then be heralded as a 'wonder of the world. It will pay Grau, and he will also have his revenge!"
"But I did know," she added, "that I had judged you correctly. No one with a spark of intelligence could doubt the evidence of these papers." "The papers are all right. Where did you get them?" "From the proper authorities." He turned to speak rapidly in German to Colonel Grau, who had been uneasy during the conversation in English, because he failed to understand it.
His severity in this line was a living rebuke to all abstractionists and would-be biological philosophers. More than once have I heard him quote with deep feeling the lines from Faust: "Grau, theurer Freund, ist alle Theorie. Und grun des Lebens goldner Baum." The only man he really loved and had use for was the man who could bring him facts.
From 1873 to 1879 Admiral Grau was a member of the Peruvian Congress for Paita, but on the outbreak of the war he successfully applied to be reinstated in his former command of the Huascar. By him the Peruvian squadron was arranged as follows: The first division, under Admiral Grau himself, consisted of the Huascar; Independencia, armoured frigate; and the Oroya, a paddle-transport of 1597 tons.
