And now the great coach was again called into requisition, the General's escort pranced round it, the other guests and their servants went to horse. As the boys went up the steps, there was the Colonel once more taking leave of their mother. No doubt she had been once more recommending George to his namesake's care; for Colonel Washington said: "With my life.
It is best to tell quickly that those years were swift and full. Early in the second a letter from Solon, read at a random camp-fire, told me of my namesake's coming. For the other years I pleased myself prodigiously by remembering that she must speak my name openly to her first-born. And I lusted for battle, then.
My own darlin' sister refused to look at me for a week, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if she changed me namesake's title to something less enfuriating than William." A look of distress came into his merry eyes. "By Jove, I'd like nothing better than to ask you in to have a dish of tea, it's tea-time, I'm sure, but I'd no more think of doing it than I'd consider cutting off me head.
"Because Syracuse has proved my 'crumpled rose leaf', by destroying the prestige of the 'Cleopatra'. Hitherto, I deemed our yacht quite the most complete and gorgeous floating palace since the days of its highly improper namesake's marauding sails on the Cydnus." "And so she is; there is nothing afloat comparable to her in speed, appointments, comfort and beauty," interrupted Mr. Cutting.
They, therefore, who looked upon Caesar as another king, naturally turned their thoughts to the Brutus of their day, hoping to find in him another deliverer. Brutus found, from time to time, inscriptions on his ancient namesake's statue expressing the wish that he were now alive.
"Let me see your new 'Open Sesame. Is it ready?" "No, no, Sophie," he said banteringly. "You know you mean you want to see your namesake's letter." "That is not my concern." "O Countess!" He tendered the letter. "Hum," she said, casting a rapid eye over it. "Then you wrote her first." "Only because the letter was wanted for the new edition of Heine, and I had no copy of it.".
He inclined his head benignly. His yacht, I said, had the effective lines of her namesake's profile and that pleased him. Followed, a technical discussion of different sailing-ships that once swept the waters of the world, I furnishing enthusiasm and a text-book inquiry now and then.
Since every market town and almost every village in the kingdom, could boast a Wellington house, or a Waterloo house, emulous to catch some gilded ray from the blaze of their great namesake's glory, it would have been strange indeed if the linendrapers and haberdashers of our good town of Belford Regis had been so much in the rear of fashion as to neglect this easy method of puffing off their wares.
It strikes me as a capital generalisation, and appears to me even more original than it did at first. I have had an excellent and cautious letter from Mr. Geach of Singapore with some valuable answers on expression, which I owe to you. I heartily congratulate you on the birth of "Herbert Spencer," and may he deserve his name, but I hope he will copy his father's style and not his namesake's.
"I wish it were so; but if it could only be made available in such a cause as ours, I am sure my good namesake's intentions would be much better carried out than by binding these poor girls down to their cushions. I did once ask about it, but I was told it could only be altered by Act of Parliament." "Great facilities have of late been given," said Mr.
