"Besides," added the Texicans through the New York Herald, "there are rights due to a state that grows the best cotton in all America, a state which produces holm oak for building ships, a state that contains superb coal and mines of iron that yield fifty per cent. of pure ore."
Fri. Wood. Pan. What sort of wood is't? Fri. Dry. Pan. And of what kind of trees? Fri. Yews. Pan. What are the faggots and brushes of? Fri. Holm. Pan. What wood d'ye burn in your chambers? Fri. Pine.

It was not a religion, for it had neither any historical root nor any belief and practice definite enough for the guidance of the common people. Yet Christianity could not have conquered the world without it. E. Meyer, Geschichte des Alterthums, vol. ii., contains the first attempt to deal with Greek religion in the manner now required. The Histories of Greece of Grote, Curtius, Abbott, and Holm.
"Yes: I seem to understand your ways already. My first half-hour's business in the memorable 'Anne's room' at Kingcombe Holm has been like a return of old times. What a woman you are! You might have been brought up as I was by Uncle Brian. You have just his ways."
