Thy beavers and martens, honest burgher, will be flaunting in the presence of the Emperor, at the next holidays. What is there in the face of the Braganza, that thou studiest it so hard?" "The piece peems none of the heaviest but, luckily, I have scales at hand, "
"Yes, clearly, clearly so," assented the dean, in a friendly tone. "He was unguarded, like all beginners; perhaps the most unguarded I have heard. But then we know quite well that the same thing often occurred in our own time. It would be quite unreasonable to expect the Spirit's full maturity in the young." This remark caused Martens involuntarily to think of his own first attempt.
"Shall I go to Zacharias the carpenter, and order the coffin?" asked the woman. But as she did not get any answer, she went off and ordered the coffin on her own account. It was not to be any more ornamental than was usual in the West End. Meanwhile Pastor Martens was continuing his journey.
Garman's astonishment defies description, when she learnt that he had met with a refusal. "Tell me," she groaned "tell me every word. Oh, the poor misguided child!" "I am afraid I cannot tell you every word that passed, Mrs. Garman," answered Martens, pale with emotion; "I am too much shocked and " "And surprised too, I am sure," said Mrs.

The trade from Archangel also increased in a still more rapid manner, principally, as we have already seen, with the English and Dutch.
Martens got quite excited, and insisted that priests were distinctly men of peace, and that their work was the work of peace. And then Mr. Delphin made the adroit answer, that any one who liked could go to church any Sunday, and hear how devoutly this man of peace, Mr. Martens, prays for the arms of the country by land and by sea."
I began to imagine conversations with her, to prepare reports for her of those new worlds of sensation and activity I had discovered since that boyish parting. But when at last that talk came it was altogether different from any of those I had invented. She wrote to me when she came down into Surrey and I walked over to Martens the next afternoon.
Their game is usually the smaller quadrupeds; and in the fur countries no animal is a greater pest to the trapper than the wolverene or glutton. A single individual will in one night visit a whole line of traps, and rob them of the captured animals whether they be polar hares, white or blue foxes, martens, or ermine weasels.
His cheeks and nose were frost-bitten and black, but he did not mind that for he was doing well. Two weeks before Christmas he brought to the river tilt the fur that he had accumulated. There were twenty-eight martens, one mink, two red foxes, one cross fox, a lynx and a wolf. These last two animals he had shot.
