While at Paris I attended a representation of the death of 'Hector' by Luce de Lancival, and I could never afterwards hear the verses recited in which the author describes the effect produced on the Trojan army by the appearance of Achilles without thinking of Prince Murat; and it may be said without exaggeration that his presence produced exactly this effect the moment he showed himself in front of the Austrian lines.
"It's the meek that shall inherit, ye want to remember that!" croaked Mrs. Luce. "And the crowned heads and the high and mighty where will they be then?" "They won't be found usin' a stolen cook-stove and quotin' Scriptur'," snorted the Cap'n in disgust. "It ain't been stole," insisted Mr. Luce.
"Let us make a condition," suggested Lucien; "I for one could walk five miles farther." And as Lucien said this, he made an effort to stand erect, and look strong and brave; but Basil knew it was an effort of generosity. "No," said he, "no, dear Luce. You are done up. We must kill the dog!" "Nonsense, Basil, you mistake," replied the other; "I assure you I am far from being done up.
Up, and when ready, and to my office, to do a little business, and, coming homeward again, saw my door and hatch open, left so by Luce, our cookmayde, which so vexed me, that I did give her a kick in our entry, and offered a blow at her, and was seen doing so by Sir W. Pen's footboy, which did vex me to the heart, because I know he will be telling their family of it; though I did put on presently a very pleasant face to the boy, and spoke kindly to him, as one without passion, so as it may be he might not think I was angry, but yet I was troubled at it.
Missiles that screamed overhead signalized to the scattered fugitives the utter disintegration of T. Taylor's stove. The hearth mowed off a crumbly chimney on the Luce house, and flying fragments crushed out sash in the windows of the abandoned main part. Cap'n Sproul was the first one to reappear, coming from behind a distant tree. There was a hole in the ground where T. Taylor's wagon had stood.
"But I have seen both the males and females make towards the dog." "Just so. The males went to devour the young, as they thought, and the females followed to protect them. Great battles are often fought between the males and females on this account." "But how is it, Luce," inquired Francois, "how is it they can catch fish that appear so much swifter than themselves?"
I shall end this Paper with that whole Epigram, which represents with much Humour my honest Friend's Condition. Quicquid agit Rufus nihil est nisi Naevia Rufo, Si gaudet, si flet, si tacet, hanc loquitur: Coenat, propinat, poscit, negat, annuit, una est Naevia; Si non sit Naevia mutus erit. Scriberet hesterna Patri cum Luce Salutem, Naevia lux, inquit, Naevia lumen, ave.
I'll take the whole possy sky-hootin' with me when ye come." He was drunk with power suddenly revealed to him. He lifted the sack out of the hole and, paying no heed to some apparent expostulations of Mrs. Luce, he staggered away up the hillside into the beech growth, bowed under his burden.
Three hundred years later Robert Edzear who does not know his descendant and namesake, Robin Adair? settled at Gainoch, near the head of Luce Bay; and for another space of 300 years his children kept the same estate, in spite of private feud, and civil war, and religious persecution, of which they had more than their share.
Every New York drummer stops at Pittsburg, and every dry-goods man sells Joe Horne, or says he does, so that now, west of the Mississippi, the first greeting given a drummer is, 'Show us Joe Horne's order. Joe must be a very good fellow to give his orders so impartially." "Did you know Luce?" one dry-goods man asked the other. "Luce, of Toledo? I should say I did."
