The massed people pushing and shoving each other about have nothing whatever to do with either bride or bridegroom, the ceremony inside the sacred edifice has in most cases ceased to be a "sacrament" and has become a mere show of dressed-up manikins and womenkins, many of the latter being mere OBJECT D'ART, stands for the display of millinery.
Here on the confines of Germany, the poor unhappy emperor may be permitted to shed a tear over the severed garment of German royalty that garment which has been rent by so many little princes! Have you observed, Rosenberg, how they have soiled its majesty? Have you noticed the pretensions of these manikins whose domains we can span with our hands?
I did not tell him," she added, with a laugh, "that he was going to have so distinguished a sporting party on his premises." "Come," said the Wondersmith, producing the box of manikins, "get ready with souls, Madame Filomel. I am impatient to see my little men letting out lives for the first time."
His career may be said to have begun in New England, with Thomas Bailey Aldrich's reaction from the priggish manikins who infested the older "juveniles"; but Mark Twain took him up with such mastery that his subsequent habitat has usually been the Middle West, where a recognized lineage connects Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn with Mitch Miller and Penrod Schofield and their fellow-conspirators against the peace of villages.
Pippel's, carrying the box of manikins with them. The shadow that glided along the dark corridor, at the moment that Monsieur Kerplonne deposited his sentinel eye outside the door of the Wondersmith's apartment, sped swiftly through the passage and ascended the stairs to the attic. Here the shadow stopped at the entrance to one of the chambers and knocked at the door. There was no reply.
On the other hand, one has heard of playwrights whose first step in setting to work upon a particular act was to construct a complete model of the scene, and people it with manikins to represent the characters. As a general practice, this is scarcely to be commended.
Something in the attitude of the manikins faces they have none, they are too small for that something in the way they swing these monstrous volumes to their singing, something perhaps borrowed from the text, some subtle differentiation from the cut that went before and the cut that follows after something, at least, speaks clearly of a fearful joy, of Heaven seen from the deathbed, of the horror of the last passage no less than of the glorious coming home.
"I couldn't find Peter," she said, "but we'll make him some day out of cotton and water colors." "Oh! can you make dolls?" Eleanor cried in delight, "real dolls with hair and different colored eyes?" "I can make pretty good ones," Margaret smiled; "manikins like these, a Frenchwoman taught me." "Oh; did she? And do you play that the dolls talk to each other as if they was were the persons?"
Have been driven indoors by the sweet pea woman, as each turn of the walk brought us face to face, when it immediately became necessary to nod and smile, and for our husbands to lift hats and smile, until we looked like loose-necked manikins. At least, the sleeper is tranquil, if stuffy. Supper time. Have been thanked again by the Sweet Pea Lady, who sat at our table.
Imaginative difficulties due to the complexity of animal bodies could not cloud his rational insight. Animal bodies, then, were mere machines, cleancut and cold engines like so many anatomical manikins. They explained themselves and all their operations, talking and building temples being just as truly a matter of physics as the revolution of the sky.
