But their passings need not be ghastly and disastrous, or anything but honorable and beneficial, if in the prime and vigor of their lifetimes they would learn decently to live. But to return to our muttons, which is Greece; and now to the literature again: After Aeschylus, Sophocles.

In his quality of expert he knew that there are statements which, whether true or false, may come in handy and, comfortably, he smiled. "So that was the reason why the engagement was broken." "What more would you have?" replied the candid creature, who now felt that he had swallowed it. Quite as comfortably, Paliser returned to his muttons. "I may cease then to be an epicure?"

It provides: "That all lands which had been in tillage shall be restored thereto within three years, except in cases where they were worn out by too much tillage, in which case they might be grazed with sheep; but in order to prevent the deterioriation of the land, it was enacted that the quantity of beeves or muttons sold off the land should not exceed that which was consumed in the mansion-house."

If there is one that isn't, I desire to acquire him for my museum, and will pay Dinosaur rates. Will you say it isn't infraction of the law, but only annual evasion of it? Sometimes a frank law-breaker turns up elsewhere, but I get those others every time. To return to my muttons.

"And what is the wide maw that is to swallow up those bags of wheat, those muttons, those heads of beef and those barrels of hydromel?" "Above all," added the traveler, "who is to pay for all those provisions?" "Pay for them!" replied Albinik. "Why, nobody. It is a forced impost." "Ha! Ha!" laughed Joel.

I had no wish to go farther with it myself. If I had, it would have been mostly hackneyed stuff, about returning to our muttons and looking for the lady in the case, and the State, that's me, and so on. "Your friend showed me his papers," said Fruen. "You seem to be decent folk. I don't know.... I might telegraph to my husband and ask if he's any work for you."

Such misunderstanding of far-eastern social possibilities comes from our having indulged in digressions from our more simple nomadic habits. If in imagination we will return to our ancestral muttons and the then existing order of things, the idea will not strike us as so strange; for in those early bucolic days every father was a king.

He showed her everything the flocks of ewes, muttons and grazing lambs, the dipping vats, the shearing pens, the uncouth merino rams in their little pasture, the water-tanks prepared against the summer drought giving account of his stewardship with a boyish enthusiasm that never flagged. Where was the old Teddy that she knew so well?

We're a thousand miles of hell's own winter, and a pretty tough sea, from the politicians who spend their lives befooling a crowd of unthinking muttons. Pay 'em well, and feed 'em well, and they've the horse sense to know there ain't no electric stoves out in the Labrador forests in winter. That way we don't need to worry. If it's the Skandinavia tricks it's different.

As for Zonela, she was frozen in the attitude of motion; a dancing nymph in colored marble; agility stunned; elasticity petrified. Not receiving the desired information, he, after the manner of trained animals, returned to his muttons; in other words, he conceived that this unusual entrance, and consequent dramatic tableau, meant "shop."
