"More times I do, and more times when I'se sleepy I don't," was Muggins' reply. Here was a spot where Alice might do good; this half-heathen, but sprightly, African child needed her, and she began already to get an inkling of her mission to Kentucky.
Gaskell's incomparable "Cranford," is, I think, the most popular of Miss Mitford's works. She herself has always a peculiar honor in my mind, from the exemplary devotion of her whole life to her father, for whom her dutiful and tender affection always seemed to me to fulfil the almost religious idea conveyed by the old-fashioned, half-heathen phrase of "filial piety."
The reforming and Christian king has fallen in the attempt to force Christianity and despotism on the Conservative and half-heathen party the free bonders or yeoman-farmers of Norway. Thormod, his poet the man, as his name means, of thunder mood who has been standing in the ranks, at last has an arrow in his left side.
Established in Samaria, he had been juggling and conjuring and seeing visions, and professing to be a great mysterious personality, and had more than permitted the half-heathen Samaritans, who seem to have had more religious susceptibility and less religious knowledge than the Jews, and so were a prepared field for all such pretenders, to think of him as in some sense an incarnation of God, and perhaps to set him up as a rival or caricature of Him who in the neighbouring Judaea was being spoken of as the power of God, God manifest in the flesh.
But still they did their best. And their reward came at last. Many a hundred years had passed away.
