"Raoul," he added, with some sternness, "thou art a turbulent spirit, and thou lackest the gentle courtesy of a true knight towards those whose position is trying and difficult. Thou wilt not win thy spurs if thou mendest not thy ways. Give thy hand now, before my eyes, to the youth thou didst provoke. If thou marrest the day's pleasure again, I shall have more to say to thee yet."

"Nay, Little John," quoth Robin, "thou art a sound stout fellow, yet thou lackest the cunning that good Stutely hath, and I would not have harm befall thee for all Nottinghamshire. Nevertheless, if thou wilt go, take some disguise lest there be those there who may know thee."

"Surely thou knowest how to cross thyself?" "Indeed I do not. And I do not see why I should." "Poor thing! how sadly thou lackest teaching! Dost thou not know that our Lord Christ suffered on the cross?" "Oh yes! But why must I cross myself on that account?" "In respect to Him!" exclaimed Eularia. "Pardon me.

If a man has character, he has also his typical experience, which always recurs. THE SAGE AS ASTRONOMER. So long as thou feelest the stars as an "above thee," thou lackest the eye of the discerning one.
The jeweled girdle was coiled about her head like a crown and her flowing hair was hung with strands of shining beads.
