"But you, your bark or your work starts off like those postilions who crack their whips because their passengers are English. You will not have galloped at full speed for half a league before you dismount to mend a trace or to breathe your horses. What is the good of blowing the trumpet before victory?"
To try to mend an old coat with a bit of unshrunk cloth would only make a worse dissolution of continuity, for as soon as a shower fell on it the patch would shrink, and, in shrinking, pull the thin pieces of the old garment adjoining it to itself. Judaism was already 'rent' and worn too thin to be capable of repair.
I could hear nothing, and indeed there was nothing to listen for. I closed the door again; Asop came up from his resting-place and noticed that I was restless about something. Then it struck me that I might run after Edwarda and ask her for a little silk thread to mend my net with. It would not be any pretence I could take down the net and show her where the meshes were spoiled by rust.
He feared him when word came out to the homeward marching command that Cranston said Davies was on the mend and would soon be on the war-path. But he drew another long breath of relief when there reached them the news that General Sheridan himself had telegraphed directing Davies to hasten home, that his mother was dying.
He'll mend, I hope." "Never," said Mrs. Wood, "he'll never mend. He has taken more than one step towards the gallows already. Thieves and pickpockets are his constant companions." "Thieves!" exclaimed Mrs. Sheppard, horror-stricken. "Jonathan Wild and Blueskin have got him into their hands," continued Mrs. Wood. "Impossible!" exclaimed the widow, wildly.
I know, for I ordered that planking especially from Puget Sound. Then the Snark has four water-tight compartments, which is to say that her length is broken by three water-tight bulkheads. Thus, no matter how large a leak the Snark may spring, Only one compartment can fill with water. The other three compartments will keep her afloat, anyway, and, besides, will enable us to mend the leak.
"You mean that I have no right to mend my broken-up life what there is left of it by spoiling hers? I have said that to myself. But then, on the other hand, I have had to ask myself whether I had any right to keep her from choosing for herself about it. I sha'n't force myself on her. I expect to leave her free.
"Doing what?" Val inquired. "You know that Lucy has chased everyone out of the house. And now that Rod has finished setting out the lawn sports, what is there left to do? By the way, did Sam mend that croquet mallet, the one with the loose head?" "The one that you broke hitting the stone with when you aimed at your ball yesterday?" she asked sweetly. "Yes, I saw to that this morning."
Perhaps the queen has mother-like fears for the safety of this only son of hers, and lets them get on her mind overmuch." "That would be hardly like our queen," she answered, laughing; "she is above that foolishness. No, but there is somewhat more." "Then," said I, thinking that this was fancy, "it will be some trouble of state which is at the bottom of her anxiety. That none of us can mend."
One day Dan found that something among the chains was broken; and, having vainly tried to mend it, he decided to go to the town, and get what was needed. He went once a week, usually, and left Davy behind; for in the daytime there was nothing to do, and the boy was not afraid to stay. "A heavy fog is blowing up: we shall want the bell to-night, and I must be off at once.
