So the visitors sat scowling at the field. "Score one on Cobber's goat," grinned Dave Darrin. Presently, after some whispering on the visitors' stand, this rather lame one came from the college crowd: "C-O-B-B-E-R! C-O-B-W-E-B! Our trap for the foolish little fly!" One of the few girls on the visitors' stand rose to wave her brown and gray banner. She slipped and fell through between the seats.
The Prioress Matilda I mean the fourth of that name, she who was mixed up with Edward the Lame, the monk, and died suddenly after the " "Peace, sister; let us have no scandal about that departed woman, who left the earth two hundred years ago. Also, if her unquiet spirit still haunts the place, as many say, I know not why it should speak with the voice of a man."
This is a most beautiful place, a plain four miles broad between two granite ranges, completely covered with grass, and a gum creek winding through the centre. I made a short journey to-day in consequence of having some of the horses lame, and some weak through the effects of the green grass, and to-morrow's journey will be a long one.
Ambrose North lifted his grey head from his hands and rose to his feet unsteadily. "And so," he said, with difficulty, "she leans from the sunset toward him, but he can never see her, because he is blind. Oh, Barbara," he cried, passionately, "last night I dreamed that you could walk and I could see!" "So we can, Daddy," said Barbara, very gently. "Our souls are neither blind nor lame.
He doesn't see his chances. But he's a good fellow, and you can tell him that Sellers won't go back on him." "By the way," asked Harry, "who is that rather handsome party that's hanging 'round Laura? I see him with her everywhere, at the Capitol, in the horse cars, and he comes to Dilworthy's. If he weren't lame, I should think he was going to run off with her." "Oh, that's nothing.
In the former case he is the best judge who has thorough acquaintance with that art or science, in the latter, the man whose powers have been developed and matured by education. A lame horse one would show to a farmer, not to the best and wisest man of one's acquaintance; to the latter, one would apply in a difficult case of conduct.
"But, stranger, I can't accommodate you. We have but one spare room, and that has been taken by the man who is sitting there." "Then give me a bit to eat." "Get the stranger something," said the woman to her husband, without rising. "Are you lame, that you don't get it yourself?" The woman paused; then said, "Husband, you are tired. Sit here and I will wait on the stranger."
First of all, the Mullah reads them something out of the Koran; then gifts are bestowed upon the young couple and all their relations; the next thing is eating and drinking of buza, then the dance on horseback; and there is always some ragamuffin, bedaubed with grease, bestriding a wretched, lame jade, and grimacing, buffooning, and making the worshipful company laugh.
"He is a natural singer," we say of the poet who works unscientifically; "but he is lame, his numbers halt, and he has no knowledge of technique." The intellect, not the heart, made man, and is continuing to make him ah, slowly, Dane, for life creeps slowly upward. The "Advanced Margin" is a favourite shibboleth of yours.
What antics we witnessed, good humored miscues and errors of form in meeting our friends of different lands all gathered there in the strange potpourri. Soldiers and "civies" of high and low rank, cultured and ignorant, and rich and poor, hearty and well, and halting and lame, mingled in Archangel, the half-shabby, half-neat, half-modern, half-ancient, summer-time port on the far northern sea.
