And he didn't have much money for fares, either. It was hard to tell just how he managed all these journeys, but sometimes, do you know, I suspect he paid for his fare with a ticket of dreams. What do you think? Well, anyway, one day he went to China. And this is the way it all came about: First he went to town with the Toyman, of course, and Old Methusaleh.
"Well, Methusaleh, where are you off to now?" and Lenox Hildreth leaned against a flower wreathed pillar in lazy amusement. "To camp-meetin', Mass Hildreff. I hez your permission, sah?" and the negro rolled his eyes with a ludicrous expression of humility. His master laughed with the easy indulgence which made his servants impose upon him. "You seem to have taken it, you rascal.
The healthful influences of Christianity are immeasurably more beautiful when manifested in the joys of family and home life, or in the discharge of honest trade and commerce, than in the introspective gloom of the recluse, or the ceremonial round of the ascetic. It is remarkable that the record states that Enoch's walk with God lasted "three hundred years after the birth of Methusaleh."
Sandford, to whom he made the remark. Daisy and Nora were exchanging mutual gratulations. The doctor looked at them. "At the rate in which she is growing old," said he, "she will have the soul of Methusaleh in a body of twenty years." "I don't believe it," said Mrs. Sandford. Nora and Daisy had a great day of it.
This answered, and the order given, the two renewed a conversation which had evidently been begun outside, and which was of so absorbing a character that for a moment Peter's face, half hidden by his book, was unnoticed. "Oh! that's you, Methusaleh, is it!" cried Morris at last. "Move over have something?" Peter looked up smiling: "Not now, Holker. I will later." Morris kept on talking.
Can you come to dinner you and Methusaleh on Wednesday night?" "I refuse to answer by advice of counsel. As to coming to dinner, I am not going anywhere for a week then I am coming to you and Kitty, whether it is Wednesday or any other night. Now, Peter, take him away. He's so puffed up with his Gold Medal he's positively unbearable." All this time Jack had been standing beside Ruth.
One of his descendants, the famous Methusaleh, lived thirty-nine years longer; while the more famous Melchizedek is not even dead yet, if any credence is to be placed in the words of holy Saint Paul. But all these are mere lambs, infants, or chicken, in comparison with the primeval patriarchs of India.
When a copy of the face of a person is made and taken away from him, a portion of his life goes with the picture. Unless the sovereign had been blessed with the years of a Methusaleh he could scarcely have permitted his life to be distributed in small pieces together with the coins of the realm." Beliefs of the same sort still linger in various parts of Europe.
As he did so, a negro, whose snow-white hair had earned for him from his master the sobriquet of Methusaleh, came towards the broad front steps. He was a grotesque image as he stood doffing a large palm-leaf hat, and Lenox Hildreth felt an irresistible inclination to laugh, and laughed accordingly.
The door which had after all not been latched, was pushed open, and the antique Fossette introduced herself painfully into the room. Fossette had an affection for Dick Povey. "Well, Methusaleh!" he greeted the animal loudly. She could scarcely wag her tail, nor shake the hair out of her dim eyes in order to look up at him. He stooped to pat her. "That dog does smell," said Lily, bluntly.
