"Believe me, it is as I said," whispered the smallest of the three men to his neighbor. "It is a riot directed against the French ambassador!" "Where are you going?" shouted the man with the lion's mane, pushing back those at the head of the crowd with his herculean arms. "We are going to the French ambassador, to sing him a new German song, and accompany it with stones for his windows."
One Herculean Egyptian was running on all fours imitating the growl of the jackal, and biting the women who had entered the tavern. Some negroes were disporting with feminine movements, as if hypnotized by the whirling of the umbilical dance.
Hugo was at the seaside when Balzac next sent for him. Balzac tried to rise, but could not; his face was purple, and his eyes alone had life in them. Now that happiness in his married life had failed him, his mind had reverted to the yet unfinished "Comedie Humaine"; and he talked long and sadly of projected herculean labours, and of the fate of his still unpublished works.
"I says to 'im, 'there's one thing you 'aven't tried, I says," the station-master continued, raising his voice by a Herculean feat still higher. "I've got a little car outside here," said Mr. Britling. "I'm a couple of miles from the station." "I says to 'im, I says, ''ave you tried the vibritation of the trains? I says. 'That's what you 'aven't tried, Mr. Darling.
Opposite to them there sat two gentlemen. One of them was the husband of the young mother. Jozsef Bardy a handsome man of about thirty-five, with regular features, and black hair and beard; a constant smile beamed on his gay countenance, while he playfully addressed his little son and gentle wife across the table. The other was his brother, Barnabas a man of herculean form and strength.
So this was Austen Vane's particular friend, whom he had tried to put out of his window. A Herculean task, Victoria thought, from Tom's appearance. Tom sat down within a few feet of her. "I've seen you a good many times, Miss Flint," he remarked, applying the handkerchief to his face. "And I've seen you once, Mr. Gaylord," some mischievous impulse prompted her to answer.
The insulting words, "her lovers," enraged Gaston beyond control; he slapped Lazet violently in the face. Everyone in the cafe simultaneously uttered a cry of terror. Lazet's violence of character, his herculean strength and undaunted courage, were well known. He sprang across the table between them, and seized Gaston by the throat. Then arose a scene of excitement and confusion.
Think of a genius not born in every country, or every time; a man gifted by nature with a penetrating, aquiline eye; with a judgment prepared with the most extensive erudition; with an herculean robustness of mind, and nerves not to be broken with labour; a man who could spend twenty years in one pursuit.
Despite the herculean labors of Philip II, France remained outside Habsburg influence, a big gap in what would otherwise have been a series of connected territories. In measure as the French kings the Bourbons strengthened their position in their own country, they looked abroad not merely to ward off foreign attacks but to add land at their neighbors' expense.
At short intervals she lost her pedals, and her feet, for some strange reason, instead of seeking the lost, simply curled up as if afraid of being hit. She gripped the steering-handles with an iron grasp, and her turns were such as an engine makes. Nevertheless, Shuey got her up the track for some hundred feet, and then by a herculean sweep turned her round and rolled her back to the block.
