You have but the same four letters to describe the salute which you perform on your grandmother's forehead, and that which you bestow on the sacred cheek of your mistress; but the same four letters, and not one of them a labial. Do we mean to hint that Mr. Arthur Pendennis made any use of the monosyllable in question? Not so.
His own first name was the unobjectionable monosyllable John though he had always been known by his less familiar middle name, Norrie and as John Ford he could have faced the world with a certain amount of bluff.
And presently they were again with their horses, which were grazing unconcernedly upon the sweet blue grass which the valley yielded so generously. "Well?" There was almost impatience in Jeff's monosyllable. For answer Bud pointed at a number of rough fences, uneven, crude, makeshift, some distance away. "See them? Oh, yes, I guess they're corrals sure.
These two met in the vestibule as they emerged respectively from the ladies' and gentlemen's cloak-room. Both held back to allow certain Members of the Ministry to enter the drawing-room before them, which gave opportunity for an interchange of greetings. 'Well! both said at once, and the tones in which the monosyllable was uttered and the glances accompanying it held volumes of hidden meaning.
She is my friend. I guarantee her, on my honour. Have no fear for her. I beg you to have confidence in me. I would perish rather. No soul on earth is to be compared with her." Mrs. Mountstuart repeated "Twice!" The low monosyllable, musically spoken in the same tone of warning of a gentle ghost, rolled a thunder that maddened him, but he dared not take it up to fight against it on plain terms.
I presume that the monosyllable, rhyme, comprehends pretty nearly all that the world at large intends by poetry; and, in the same manner as certain critics have sneered at Livy no, it was Tacitus for commencing his work with a bad hexameter, so many a reader will now-a-days condemn a whole book, because it is somewhere found guilty of harbouring a distich.
I told him good in a monosyllable, and sent him away. I know not if these movements, upon which all eyes were fixed, began to frighten the Duc du Maine, but no sooner had M. le Duc joined the Regent, after quitting me, than the Duc du Maine went to speak to the Marechal de Villeroy and to D'Effiat, both seated at the end of the room towards the King's little door, their backs to the wall.
Victoria, gazing at the scene, drew a deep breath, and turned and looked at him in the quick way which he remembered so well. "Sometimes," she said, "it is so beautiful that it hurts to look at it. You love it do you ever feel that way?" "Yes," he said, but his answer was more than the monosyllable. "I can see that mountain from my window, and it seriously interferes with my work.
Or, perhaps, he had understood and sat rigid with terror. "Yes," said the tall priest, in the same low voice and in the same still posture, "yes, I am Flambeau." Then, after a pause, he said: "Come, will you give me that cross?" "No," said the other, and the monosyllable had an odd sound. Flambeau suddenly flung off all his pontifical pretensions.
The arrangement of the verse is not easy: perhaps we should read 'Wishes for husband. Our author usually makes a trisyllable of "gentleman"; here it counts only as a monosyllable. Between this word and the next there is a mark of omission in the MS., and the words "t'were Sir" have been written above. What follows, to the entrance of Thurston, is marked to be omitted.
