Whereat Manuel exploded with profanity and burnt blue with sulphurous malediction; but Miguel, the recent ecclesiastic, sat livid and thoughtful. "When was it thou didst petition for lands in the valley, friend Victor?" "Never! It is a sterile waste. Am I a fool?" "Thou didst. Of thy Governor, Micheltorena. I have seen the application." "Si! I had forgotten. Art thou sure it was in the valley?"
May the vengeance of God descend upon thee; may my curse come upon thee and upon all Bohemia." History has failed to record the special benefits of the Emperor through which the city had derived its magnificence and deserved this malediction. But surely if ever an old man's curse was destined to be literally fulfilled, it seemed to be this solemn imprecation of Rudolph.
You will not. March, then, to meet him. Tear from his brows the laurels he has won. Teach the world that a malediction attends those who violate the territory of the Great People. The result of our efforts will be unclouded glory, and a durable peace!" The very day Napoleon left Paris, Desaix arrived in France from Egypt.
The date of the malediction which left Tara desolate is the year of our Lord, 554. But these twenty-seven years deserve a chapter to themselves. Twenty-seven years is a long reign, and the years of King-Hugh II. were marked with striking events. These events follow each other in the order of time, and stand partly in the relation of cause and effect.
"So am I! If I were to meet any one on the stairs, holding this glass in my hand like a Roman candlestick, I should burst out laughing, and break the last remnant of Philemon's bazaar, and he would give me his malediction." "There is no danger that you will meet any one. The first-floor is gone out, and the second gets up very late."
It was an aggravating situation. "You can use the telegraph," suggested the depot agent, when Darrel unbosomed himself to him. "Quick! Send word to the next station, and have the man detained." The ticket agent went to his instrument and ticked off the desired information. A little later came the reply: "No such person on the train." A malediction fell from the detective's lips.
It was impossible for me to move; and I gave myself up for lost, as I noticed the wicked, fiendish expression upon the hideously painted face of the savage, and heard him mutter a malediction in Spanish through his closed teeth. The next instant, the welcome crack of three or four rifles greeted my ears. The Indian gave a start, and I saw the blood spurt from his side.
Their blood be on his head!" continued the young chief, extending his martial arms toward heaven. "Power of Justice, hear! and let his days be troubled, and his death covered with dishonor!" "My brave friend!" replied Wallace, "his deeds will avenge themselves, he needs not further malediction. Let us rather bless the remains of him who is gone before us thus in glory to his heavenly rest!
"I will go quietly if you don't use those, but if you do, I will not yield while there is a breath of life in me." "A most desperate and hardened wretch!" ejaculated the reporter, sopping his streaming nose. With a dark look and deep malediction upon his employer, Haldane was led away. Mr.
And the man, conscious of his powerlessness to conquer fate, and conscious of his weakness in face of the mysterious "some one in grey," confounds in the same malediction God, Satan, Fatality, and Life, who have united to annihilate him. The themes of the "King of Famine" and "Black Masks" offer a certain analogy to the theme of "The Life of Man."
