While this heydey of life lasted and all was bright around and about the chivalrous James, there was a certain suitor of his Court, a merry and reckless priest, more daring in words and admixtures of the sacred and the profane than any mere layman would venture to be, whose familiar and often repeated addresses to the King afford us many glimpses into the royal surroundings and ways of living, as also many pictures of the noisy and cheerful mediæval town which was the centre of pleasures, of wit and gay conversation, and all that was delightful in Scotland.
"Fool," cried Life, "why looked ye back like wife of ancient Lot? Now are ye indeed undone!" The voice was harsh and shrill, and starting as from an uneasy dream, he looked on Life with wide-open eyes and soul that understood. He found her far less fair than in the heydey of his youth, when he reveled in her voluptuous charms and loved her well.
I neither praise nor blame this fact; but I feel bound to own it, for that time, and for every time in my life, since the witchery of literature began with me. Those two happy winters in Columbus, when I was finding opportunity and recognition, were the heydey of life for me.

"And closed again after Vantine opened it?" "Yes." "It would take a very clever mechanism to do that." "But at least it's possible." "Oh, yes; it's possible. And we must remember that the poisoners of those days were very ingenious. That was the heydey of La Voisin and the Marquise de Brinvilliers, of Elixi, and heaven knows how many other experts who had followed Catherine de Medici to France.
The Grand Duke was smiling on his wife's kinsman with extreme benevolence when the Baroness von Altenburg appeared in travelling costume and carrying a portmanteau. "Heydey!" said the Grand Duke; "it seems, that the legal representative of our good Baroness, also, is imperative." "Your Highness!" cried the Baroness, and she, too, dropped her burden.

Here it lies, I see; will you give me leave to read it?" "Read it with all my heart," cries Amelia; "and give me your advice how to act, for I am almost distracted." "Heydey!" says Mrs. Atkinson, "here is a piece of parchment too what is that?"
Their mother, who came of an impoverished line of princes the H s had died at Petersburg when her husband was in his heydey. Anna's position after her father's death was very difficult. The brilliant education she had received in Petersburg had not fitted her for putting up with the cares of domestic life and economy, for an obscure existence in the country.
