"That's the only road to favour nowadays, though for the name of the thing they may have a Protestant or two. You are the King's godchild too, so he will expect it the more from you. However, we may find a better path. You have not left your heart in the country, eh?" Anne blushed and denied it. "You will be mewed up close enough in the nursery," ran on Lady Oglethorpe.
His voice was calm, but his face was deadly white. 'The rest of you, please go get the women away as quickly as you can. "From that day old Nicholaus Geibel confined himself to the making of mechanical rabbits and cats that mewed and washed their faces." We agreed that the moral of MacShaughnassy's story was a good one.
She had read in the society papers of all the balls, and birthdays, and race meetings, and regattas, and cricket matches, and gowns, and parasols, and bonnets what this beauty wore on such an occasion, and how that other beauty looked on another occasion and she felt as she read like a spell-bound princess in a fairy tale, mewed up in a battlemented tower, and deprived of her legitimate share in all the pleasures of earth.
Minon woke up, mewed horribly, and immediately changed from a cat into a large, fierce-looking man, who regarded the king with flashing eyes. "You must marry the princess," cried he, "because you have broken the enchantment in which I held her; but I will be revenged on you.
Lady Ermyntrude's husband had fallen before the Scottish spearsmen at Stirling, and her son Eustace, Nigel's father, had found a glorious death nine years before this chronicle opens upon the poop of a Norman galley at the sea-fight of Sluys. The lonely old woman, fierce and brooding like the falcon mewed in her chamber, was soft only toward the lad whom she had brought up.
"Am I a babe, forsooth, to be dosed to slumber? Ha, by the foul fiend his black dam, ne'er will I drink it, lad!" "Then will she smile on thee, sad-eyed, and set it to thy lip, and woo thee soft-voiced, so shalt thou swallow it every drop " "Not so dear blood of all the saints! Must I be mewed up within an accursed bed on such a day and all by reason of a small axe-stroke? Malediction, no!"
"For," said she, "they are none such fiends as we thought, if one knows how to take them courteously." "There is no need that you should have any dealings with them, Thora," said her lady, with some displeasure; "Master Ridley sees to their provision." Thora tossed up her head a little and muttered something about not being mewed out of sight and speech of all men.
But so did I. And he hated me, God knows: misused my mother, and wouldn't endure me in his presence. All my miserable youth I've been mewed up in a school in England a private seminary. Ugh? what a den it was, too! My mother died calling for me I was not allowed to come: I hadn't seen her for three years.
Baker, "I've always been poor, and now we'll enjoy ourselves." Henceforth he spent his money like a dissipated school-boy at a statute fair. Special trains, the best rooms in the best hotels, anything, everything he fancied and yet all the while he worked at his books "like a navvy." Abbazia was a disappointment. Snow fell for two months on end, and all that time they were mewed up in their hotel.
'But we, we are of earth still, and have our years before us, said Anne, 'and I will not spend mine the dreary lady of a dull castle. Either I will back and take my vows in your Priory, reverend Mother, if Hal there disdains to have me. 'Nan, Nan! when you know that all I dread is to have you mewed behind a wall of snow as thick as the walls of the Tower and freezing to the bone!
