"No; nor the Eves of Cambridge, nor the Serpents of Eton, nor the Angels of Harrow." "I suppose " began Bones. "Nor are my relations on speaking terms with them. They don't know the Adamses, nor the Cains, nor the Abels, nor the Moseses, nor the Noahs." "That's all I wanted to know, sir," said an injured Bones. "There's no need to peeve, sir."
He saw at once that this capture was extremely harsh, and probably thought that, if it became known, it would raise a storm of indignation about the ears of his department. Here were two young men Moseses, as it were, saved from the bulrushes.
There was a general laugh at the Shalotten Shammos's bull; the proverb dealing only with Moseses. "He has the true gift," observed Froom Karlkammer, shaking the flames of his hair pensively. "For the letters of his name have the same numerical value as those of the great Moses da Leon."
Heaven drawin' so nigh to earth that hour that its light fallin' on Moseses face made it too glorious for mortal eyes to look on. And I'dno but one of them mountains we see wuz where Moses stood after his forty years journey, castin' wishful eyes onto the Promised Land, not bein' able to enter in because of some past error and ignorance.
Here, too, was the general post office, where you might see letters marvellously folded, directed wrong side upward, stamped with a thimble, and superscribed to some of the Dollys, or Pollys, or Peters, or Moseses aforenamed or not named.
Apart from what important minds could vaguely construe to be permanent truth, human society was bereft of ontological meaning; the West was on a collision path with the environment and Islamic extremists; more and more societies possessed weapons of mass destruction that had the potential force that was beyond her imagination to conceive; and all societies were full of lies and manipulating fables disguised as truths-their own Moseses parting their own Red Seas.
And I thought, as I stood there, how many happy restin' places we plan and toil for and then can't enter in and possess through some past error and mistake caused by ignorance as dense as Moseses ignorance. What a lot of emotions I had thinkin' this, and how on top of another mount the great prophet and law-giver wuz not, for God took him.
You couldn't do better. It's a ill wind that blows nobody good, an' Moseses misfortune is the deacon's blessin'." There was something else which made the good deacon accept Miss Maitland's offer with so much alacrity.
I think mebbe the Lord meant the men to be the Moseses." Mis' Amanda Toplady's voice rolled out, deep and comfortable, like a complaisant giant's. "Well said!" she remarked. "I'm drove to death all day. If anybody's to ask me what I got in my hand, I declare I guess I'd say, rill reverent: Dear Lord, I've got my hands full, an' that's about all I have got."
Why don't dey kill us too, like dey did all our folks? You used to be so hot fer dat ole Guv'ner Moses and say he was like de Moses in de Bible dat he was raised up fer ter lead de culled people to de promise' lan'. You vote fer him, an' hurrah fer him, an' whar's yer promise' lan'? Little you know 'bout Scripter when you say he secon' Moses. Don' want no more sich Moseses in dis town.
