Lady Margaret smiled: this was probably the first fruit of her husband's astrological investigations. 'Tell him he may enter, and do thou leave him alone with me, Harry, she said. Allowing for exaggeration, Harry had truly reported Tom's appearance. He was trembling from head to foot, and very white. 'What aileth thee, Tom, that thou lookest as thou had seen a hobgoblin? said lady Margaret.
"Is it?" said Sally, tightening her clasp around Mara's neck; and then with a hysterical shadow of gayety she said, "I suppose you think that you are such a hobgoblin that nobody could be expected to do that. After all, though, I should have as soon expected roses to bloom in a juniper clump as love from Aunt Roxy." "Well, she does love me," said Mara. "No mother could be kinder.
In your metaphysics you have denied personality to the Deity; yet when the devout motions of the soul come, yield to them heart and life, though they should clothe God with shape and color. Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
They created two worlds of adventure with minute vivid details and constant surprises the foot on the sand, for instance, in Crusoe, and the valley of the shadow with the hobgoblin in Pilgrim's Progress and one will have a tenderness for these two first loves even until the end. Afterwards one went afield and sometimes got into queer company, not bad but simply a little common.
I was in the habit of hearing all the ridiculous stories of invasion, rapine, and murder, and of listening to all the hobgoblin accounts of what we were to expect from our fellow creatures on the other side of the channel, and my young mind was worked up to such a pitch, that I longed to become one of the number of those who were going to resist and to punish them if ever they dared to invade our happy shores; nay, I always expressed my determination, if that day should ever arrive, that I would not remain at home, wasting my time in inglorious ease and safety, while they were disfiguring the fair face of our favoured Isle with blood and conquest.
"This very day the sultan sent for one of his grooms, who is hump-backed, big-bellied, crook legged, and as ugly as a hobgoblin; and after having commanded the vizier to marry his daughter to this ghastly slave, he caused the contract to be made and signed by witnesses in his own presence.
The little man has long been gathering together all the hobgoblin tales he could collect, illustrative of the superstitions of former times; and he is in a complete fever lest this formidable rival should take the field before him. Shortly after my arrival at the Hall, I called at the parsonage, in company with Mr. Bracebridge and the general.
Then, in a partial lull, the voice of Lord Scamperdale rises, exclaiming, 'Oh, you hideous Hobgoblin, bull-and-mouth of a boy! you think, because I'm a lord, and can't swear, or use coarse language And again the hubbub, led on by the 'Devil among the tailors, drowns the exclamations of the speaker. It's that Pacey again; he's accusing the virtuous Mr.
Now it shone forth in the darkness like an evil sort of beacon, its silly grotesque face grinning like a true hobgoblin of Hallowe'en; for, having scooped out its pulp and seeds, they had set a candle therein and lighted it just before they sent it aloft. "Great, isn't it?" chuckled Young Joe. "Now let's get Henry Burns, and give Colonel Witham notice."
"Well, I believe we shall find him one fine morning installed in his cabin, and no one will know how he got there." "Get along, do!" replied Bolton. "Why, Clifton, you imagine that he's a hobgoblin a sort of wild child of the Highlands." "Laugh as much as you like, Bolton, you won't change my opinion.
