Carleton was saying to her about wood strawberries and hautbois. "Will you allow that, Carleton?" "What, my lord?" "A rival banner to float alongside of St. George's?" "The flags are friendly, my lord." "Hum just now, they may seem so. Has your little standard-bearer anything of a rebellious disposition?" "Not against any lawful authority, I hope," said Fleda. "Then there is hope for you, Mr.
It was they who gave us the dulcimer, the hautbois and the guitar; it was they who invented the serenade. We are indebted to them for algebra and for the canons of chivalry as well.... It was from them that came the first threads of light which preceded the Renaissance. Throughout mediaeval Europe they were the only people that thought."
The magnificence of this visit and reception being so extreme, King August, for one item, sailing to it, with sound of trumpet and hautbois, in silken flotillas gayer than Cleopatra's, down the Elbe, there was a rush towards Berlin of what we will not call the scum, but must call the foam of mankind, rush of the idle moneyed populations from all countries; and such a crowd there, for the three weeks, as was seldom seen.

Then, my dear fellow, there were, as possibly you do not know, Lady Hermengilde and Lady Yseult, Lady Rackstraw's lovely twins, whose appearance created such a sensation at Lady Hautbois' first was it her first or was it her second? yes, it was her second breakfast. Whom weren't they going to marry?
'And Margaret, sweet Madge, repeated Eleanor to herself, in her native Scotch, while King Rene's trumpets, harps, and hautbois burst forth with an answering peal, so exciting her that her yellow-brown eyes sparkled and the colour rose in her cheeks, giving her a strange beauty full of eager spirit.

After a fine symphony, a concerto for the violin, another for the hautbois, the Italian singer whose repute was so great and who was styled Madame Trend made her appearance.
