I can't get it out of my head that there's something in the wind to-night, and Higginson's back of it. Anyway, there's no use of running needless risks, now that we've practically got a strangle-hold on the whole proposition." Varney glanced at his watch. "Right for you. It's too early to call yet, anyway. I'll wait." "Correct," said Peter at the door. "One last item of news.
The accuracy of Higginson's précis of the conversation was challenged by La Fontaine, but its terms seem moderate and probable, and do not misrepresent the actual position of the Executive Council in 1843 a determined opposition to the governor-general's attempt to destroy government by party: "Mr.
It reminds me at once of the poetic alarm clock that wakens me every morning, 'I am dying, Egypt, dying. There is no doubt that Higginson's poem suggested this one. Here is the whole of the thing as it is printed here," he said, and read the following: LOVE'S TWILIGHT
One of these last, it is said, can be traced on Paris Island, and is claimed by some antiquaries to be the Charles Fort built by Ribault. There are the well-preserved walls of one upon the plantation of John J. Smith on Port Royal Island, a few miles south of Beaufort, now called Camp Saxton, and recently occupied by Colonel Higginson's regiment. It is built of cemented oyster-shells.
He was rather surprised at Peter's quickness, in view of the fact that he knew nothing of the episode of the morning. "Yes," he said. "That's the man." He told concisely of Mr. Higginson's attempt to break up the lunch-party by keeping the guest of honor away. Peter's face, as he listened, underwent a curious change.

Just came down and went in I think he saw you coming " "And ran away again? Why, bless me, what's the old chap afraid of?"
Indian combats between Red Indians in the Far West, the deeds of Sir Kenneth, Saladin, and Coeur de Lion in his favourite "Talisman," and the entire character of Drake's reading, had joined with and gathered romance from his late study of Virgil to misdirect an innate chivalry. Alfred Higginson's reply was also characteristic: "Drake Tregellin, "I have received your cartel.
Higginson's illustration, is the red flag that the bulls of female reform are just now pitching into, Harvard College could not undertake the task of special and appropriate co-education, in such a way as to give the two sexes a fair chance, which means the best chance, and the only chance it ought to give or will ever give, without an endowment, additional to its present resources, of from one to two millions of dollars; and it probably would require the larger rather than the smaller sum.
I had one excellent opportunity to note this change. On the 6th of April, Colonel Higginson's regiment was assigned to picket-duty on Port Royal Island, the first active duty it had performed on the Sea Islands, and was to relieve the Pennsylvania Fifty-Fifth.
Higginson's motion is a dodge, a quirk, a most contemptible quibble, reluctant as we are to speak thus irreverently of the solemn utterances of a Doctor of Divinity. Right well do you know, reverend sir, that the particular form or time or fashion in which the question came up is utterly immaterial, and you interpose it only to throw dust in the eyes of the public.
