Then, with seemingly another idea: "He's got an awful funny sign up over the counter." He would not tell me what the sign was, though, He shuffled and talked of other things. I entered Budd's on the morrow, purposely to read it, and I knew that my namesake had quailed before it. The sign was in white, frosted letters, on a blue ground, and it ran:
Aramis was easier to manage than his namesake. Meanwhile, our minister was very much troubled over the matter, and the count hardly less so. But Porthos was as inexorable as his namesake, and Merton merely obstinate. It was what the count described as an impasse.
So, with a hand-shake that said what no words could say, the brothers parted, and Davie made haste to catch the next up-town car. He thought they never had traveled so slowly; he was half inclined several times to get out and run home. When he arrived there the little kitchen was dark, but there was a fire in the stove and wee Davie his namesake was sitting, half crying, before it.
With the other, now a widower, with only a life interest in his estate, she was on coldly cordial terms, and sometimes, as was the case now, acted as chaperon to his only child, her niece and namesake, Bubbles Dunster. Blanche Farrow never begged or borrowed.
My great namesake said, "Surely the pleasure is as great of being cheated as to cheat," and great as the pleasure both of cheating and boring undoubtedly is, I believe he was right. So I remember a poem which came out some thirty years ago in Punch, about a young lady who went forth in quest to "Some burden make or burden bear, but which she did not greatly care, oh Miserie."
Alice's attention was caught by the sight of a flaxen-haired doll lying beside Diana in the hammock. "So you like dolls?" Alice said. "I just love them," said Diana. "So do I," said Alice. And Peggy felt quite left out. "What's her name?" Alice asked. "Alice." "That's my name." "I named her for the 'Wonderland Alice." "Oh, but now she must be my namesake. I'll be her aunt.
"Near the Crab Orchard, and the lad killed and sculped a six-foot brave." "The Saints save us! And what'll be his name?" "Davy," said my friend. "Is it Davy? Sure his namesake killed a giant, too." "And is he come along, also?" said another. His shy blue eyes and stiff blond hair gave him a strange appearance in a hunting shirt. "Hist to him! Who will ye be talkin' about, Poulsson?
Old Schmidt in his monoplane was the next off the crowd howling with mirth as the queer green contrivance scuttled over the ground in a series of spasmodic hops, just like its grasshopper namesake. Then came Gladwin, the novice, and a half dozen others.
It was a pile of vast extent, built around three quadrangular courts, the farthest of which spread to the very verge of the gray, tall cliffs that overhung the sea; in this court was a rude tower, which, according to tradition, had contained the apartments ordinarily inhabited by our ill-fated namesake and distant kinsman, Robert Devereux, the favourite and the victim of Elizabeth, whenever he had honoured the mansion with a visit.
But they are her letters, and I can imagine almost that there hangs about these moldering pieces of paper a scent as of a woman's hair. The few letters of Duke Robert show him in a new light. A cunning, cold, but craven priest. He trembles at the bare thought of Medea "la pessima Medea" worse than her namesake of Colchis, as he calls her.
