Jasper Mayne's opinion, that 'In thee Ben Jonson still held Shakspeare's style'; or that he possest 'Lucan's bold heights match'd to staid Virgil's care, Martial's quick salt, joined to Musaeus' tongue. The specific gravity of the poems, so to speak, is far greater than that of any of his contemporaries; everywhere is thought, fancy, force, varied learning.
I have thought fit to restore it to the text. "Here's Mr. Thurston," concludes Clariana's speech. From Shirley we learn that the apprentices took their pleasure in the mild form of treating their sweethearts to cream and prunes: Pimlico seems to have been a place near Hoxton famous for its ales and custards; cf. Mayne's City Match, II. 6.
After leaving Mayne's Channel, and passing through Union and Collingwood Sounds, we found ourselves beneath the shadow of the splendid Cordilleras of Sarmiento quite distinct from Mount Sarmiento, already referred to along the foot of which extended the largest glacier we have yet seen.
"I should not like a daughter of mine to do that; but if you think you would enjoy the study as a pastime and Doctor Mayne recommends it, I shall not object if your mother is willing." The family thought that "Alida's fad," as they called it, would not last long; but under Agnes Mayne's wise supervision it became an unfailing source of pleasure to the girl.
But first he gave Alister the history of what he was going to read. It was suggested, he said, by that strange poem of William Mayne's, called "The Dead Man's Moan," founded on the silly notion that the man himself is buried, and not merely his body.
When we knew her better my mother used to say that if she could have chosen a little girl instead of the little boy that had been I, she must have chosen Mary Virginia Eustis out of all the world. Like Judge Mayne's Laurence, she chose to make the Parish House her second home for indeed my mother ever seemed to draw children to her, as by some delightful magic.
They were perfectly regular, and could be connected by their trend from ledge to ledge, across intervening spaces of softer decomposed rock, from which all such surface markings had disappeared. The country above Mayne's Harbor was pretty, though somewhat barren.
The north side being the strike side, the ice would have pushed against it with greater force. Such a difference between the two sides of any hollow or depression in the direct path of the ice is well known in Switzerland. Later in the day, a pause was made in Chorocua Bay, where Captain Mayne's chart makes mention of a glacier descending into the water.
But the boy had retained the name "Al" that was a contraction of Alan, no doubt. While Langdon labored over the problem of Mayne's Identity he had watched the horses at the post through his glasses. The Dutchman was behaving well, his trifle of eagerness to break away was even better than Lauzanne's indolent indifference.
Froude's sojourn in Trinidad the "sleek, happy, and contented" people, whose condition "admitted of no improvement," were yet groaning in bitter sorrow, nay, in absolute despair, under the crushing weight of such magisterial decisions as those which I have just recorded. Let me add two more typical cases which occurred during Mr. Mayne's tenure of office in the island.
