Not a soldier in the service but prayed for the hastening of the day. No, there was not much over at Meander, at the railroad's end, to cheer a soldier's heart.
He and Sir Robert traced the Niagara River from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, and photographed it at every turn, made careful estimates of its length, breadth, depth, the flow of currents, scale of descent to the mile, wear of precipice, and time necessary for the river to retire from the falls business altogether and meander tranquilly along on a level like other rivers.
"All but the homestead," she sighed, her tears checked now, her eyes on the farthest hill, where she had watched the crest many and many a time for Saul to rise over it, riding home from Meander. "You hadn't ort to let it go," said he, shaking his sad head. "I couldn't'a'held it, the lawyers and Mr. Macdonald told me that. It's public land, Banjo, it belongs to them folks, I reckon.
I begin to feel uncomfortably like a curiosity in a dime museum a position not exactly congenial to my nature; so, after enduring this sort of thing for an hour, I appoint the kahvay-jee custodian of the bicycle and sally forth to meander about the bazaar a while, where I can at least have the advantage of being able to move about.
The Shah's soldiers are gentle, unwarlike creatures at heart; there are probably no soldiers in the whole world that would acquit themselves less creditably in a pitched battle; they are, nevertheless, not without certain soldierly qualities, well adapted to their country; the cavalrymen are very good riders, and although the infantry does not present a very encouraging appearance on the parade-ground, they would meander across five hundred miles of country on half rations of blotting-paper ekmek without any vigorous remonstrance, and wait uncomplainingly for their pay until the middle of next year.
Xerxes leaves Susa, and begins his march. The Meander. Celænæ. Pythius. The wealth of Pythius. His interview with Xerxes. The amount of Pythius's wealth. His offer to Xerxes. Gratification of Xerxes. His reply to Pythius's offer. Real character of Pythius. The entertainment of silver and gold. Xerxes's gratitude put to the test. He murders Pythius's son.
Meander fell into another rhapsody over those classic cups and shallow little bowls of absinthe-coloured jade. 'Here if you like, are colour and beauty, he murmured, caressing one of the little cups with the roseate tips of his supple fingers. 'These, dearest Smithson, are worth all the rest of your collection; worth vanloads of your cloisonné enamels, your dragon-jars in blood-colour and blue.
She left the window, closing it hurriedly, a shadow of fear in her face, her hand pressed to her bosom, as if that meeting of eyes had broken the lethargy of some old pain. She waited, standing in the center of the room, as if for a summons which she dreaded to hear. The hotel at Meander had not at that day come to such modern contrivances as telephones and baths.
The streams that burst forth from every crevice are thrown, by the irregularities of the surface, into numberless cascades, often disappear in mists or in chasms, and emerge from subterranean channels, and, finally, either subside into lakes, or quietly meander through the lower and more level grounds.
Oh, if you'd only come back then, Frances, this thing wouldn't have happened!" "I can't see what good that would have done," said Frances, wearily; "there are others who don't believe him. They'd have got him some time, just like they got him in a coward's underhanded way, never giving him a chance for his life." "We went to Meander this morning thinking we'd catch father there before he left.
