I was regretful at leaving the elastic Tuscan speech, canorous in its vowels set in emphatic l's and m's and the vigorous soft spring of the double consonants. But as the train arrived its noises were drowned by a voice declaiming in the tongue I was not to hear again for months good Italian.
A little above the entrance arches to the chapels the octagon is surrounded by two carved string courses separated by a broad plain frieze. On the lower string are the beautifully modelled necks and heads of dragons, springing from acanthus leaves and so set as to form a series of M's, and on the upper an exquisite pattern arranged in squares, while on it rests a most remarkable cresting.
The three blessings of this life: Health, wealth, and a good conscience. The four comforts of this life: Love, liberty, health, and a contented mind. The three spirits that have no souls: Brandy, rum, and gin. The three L's; Love, loyalty, and length of days. The three M's; Modesty, moderation, and mutuality. Modesty in our discourse. Moderation in our wishes. Mutuality in our affection.
In these lines, fully as much is conveyed to the reader by the mere melody of m's and r's and l's as by the content, or denotation, of the words.

"I noticed them in the 'R' pile" he replied. "I'll have them moved to the 'M's' right away." "Now that's what I call being decent," said Dad, as soon as the young man had left us. "Did you notice, he didn't wear a uniform? Probably an inspector, or something of the sort, eh, Elizabeth?" "Well er not exactly," I managed to say. "The fact is, Dad, he came over on the boat with me, and "
Blank paroles for each letter were spread out on boxes and planks at different places, and the signing went on under the superintendence of a Rebel Sergeant and one of the prisoners. The squad of M's selected me to superintend the signing for us, and I stood by to direct the boys, and sign for the very few who could not write.
Matilda found much difficulty in reconciling paint-pots and silk gowns, blue hats and statuary, French boots and Yankee notions. But order was at length produced from chaos, and the young lady refreshed her weary soul by painting large red M's all over the trunk to mark it for her own.
First the white surplices of the clergy, amid the mourning drapery of the first five carriages; next, drawn by six black horses, veritable horses of Erebus, there advanced the funeral car, all beplumed, fringed and embroidered in silver, with big tears, heraldic coronets surmounting gigantic M's, prophetic initials which seemed those of Death himself, La Mort made a duchess decorated with the eight waving plumes.
"Once they was mine, an' now I'm keeping 'em against my little gal's old enough to wear 'em." She held out the other red boot. "Is there is there," asked Andrew hesitating, "two big `M's' wrote just inside the linin'?" "Right you are," answered the woman; "an' it stands fur " "It stands fur `Molly Martin," said Andrew, sitting suddenly down on the edge of the bed with Dickie in his arms.
