The road of life runs valley and hill, valley and hill, up and down. There were great crises in Christ's life, and there may be, there quite likely will be, crisis points in ours, but in the main the hard places intersperse with the smooth going.
Some passages I have yet spared, which may relieve the labour of verbal searches, and intersperse with verdure and flowers the dusty desarts of barren philology.
You may intersperse it all through with cold ham. A pot-pie may be made of ducks, rabbits, squirrels or venison. Also of beefsteak. If you use no ham, season with salt.
It is true that I intersperse my researches with some more attractive studies, and one or two visits to the picture-galleries, and more than an occasional evening at the theatre. My uncle knows nothing of this. To keep him soothed I am careful to get my reader's ticket renewed every month, and every month to send him the ticket just out of date, signed by M. Leopold Delisle.
And industry and perseverance will do prodigious things but for a learner to have those first rudiments to master at twenty years of age, suppose, which others are taught, and they themselves might have attained, at ten, what an uphill labour! These kind of observations you have always wished me to intersperse, as they arise to my thoughts.
It is usual to intersperse them with the text; but for the purpose of more convenient reference they have been included in a separate chapter. Standard, 3d September, 1883.
But with these he would intersperse the details which are the charm of historical romances. At Lincoln Cathedral there is a beautiful painted window, which was made by an apprentice out of the pieces of glass which had been rejected by his master. It is so far superior to every other in the church, that, according to the tradition, the vanquished artist killed himself from mortification.
Now and again, with a wide, melodious, sonorous voice, he burst into a snatch of song: "Shanghai chicken he grew so tall, In a few days few days, Cannot hear him crow at all " Sometimes he would intersperse jocund personal remarks in his Terpsichorean commands: "Gents, forward to the centre back swing: the lady ye love the best."
This is not all, the fascinating Prince was escort to two fashionable beauties, two miserable creatures of distressing notoriety, two of those shameless women whom we cannot fail to recognise on account of their scandalous behavior in public; sort of market-women disguised as fashion-plates half apple-venders, half coquettes, who tap men on the cheek with their scented gloves and intersperse their conversation with dreadful oaths from behind their bouquets and Pompadour fans! ... these creatures talked in shrill tones, laughed out loud enough to be heard by every one around joined in the chorus of the Choir of Antigone with the old men of Thebes!... People in the gallery said: "they must have dined late," that was a charitable construction to put upon their shameful conduct I thought to myself, this is their usual behavior they are always thus.
The old man added a little to it to fill out the story; he conquered Spain, and almost conquered England, which he could not abide. Old Krafft used to intersperse his enthusiastic narratives with indignant apostrophes addressed to his hero. The patriot awoke in him, more perhaps when he told of the Emperor's defeats than of the Battle of Jena.
