It was fortunate, too, that the warm afternoon sun had kept strollers away from the esplanade. Otherwise a considerable audience would probably have gathered around these two gentlemen, who went on gesticulating with their arms, and now and then prancing around. They had had only one on-looker the sentry who stands at the corner of the gymnastic-school.
Every schoolboy knows how in watching a comrade's high jump at the Sports he often finds himself lifting a knee at the moment 'to help him over'; at football matches quarrels sometimes arise among the spectators by reason of an ill-placed kick coming from a too enthusiastic on-looker, behind one; undergraduates running on the tow-path beside their College boat in the races will hurry even faster than the boat in order to increase its speed; there is in each case an automatic bodily response increased by one's own desire.
THE steamer "International" made only a short delay at the frontier post of Pembina, but it was long enough to impress the on-looker with a sense of dirt and debauchery, which seemed to pervade the place.
I care not what may be the form of belief which the on-looker may hold whether it be in unison or in antagonism with that faith preached by these men; but he is only a poor semblance of a man who can behold such a sight through the narrow glass of sectarian feeling, holding' opinions foreign to his own.
The girls, giggling, but rather worried by the attention that was being attracted to their escort, darted into a store and left Purt to settle the matter by himself. He began to hate that mongrel cur with an intense hatred. "Get away from me, you brute!" he exclaimed, trying to kick the dog. "Look out there, son," drawled one on-looker.
A big sacrifice, which bankrupts one's life, is always more bearable than the little inevitable annoyances of sickness, disappointment and dying in a bed. It's easier for Christ to go to Calvary than for an on-looker to lose a night's sleep in the garden. When the world went well with us before the war, we were doubters.
How they'll all laugh when I tell them." Just as if it was the funniest thing in the world to have a Snake coiled up on one's body when the horrid thing might bite one with its poisonous fangs, at any moment! Dot said she didn't see any joke, and it was no laughing matter. "To be sure YOU don't see the joke," said the jovial bird. "On-lookers always see the jokes, and I'm an on-looker.
Before I begin to tell you some of the things I have seen and heard, in both of which I have had to take a share, now from the compulsion of my office, now from the leading of my own heart, and now from that destiny which, including both, so often throws the man who supposed himself a mere on-looker, into the very vortex of events that destiny which took form to the old pagans as a gray mist high beyond the heads of their gods, but to us is known as an infinite love, revealed in the mystery of man I say before I begin, it is fitting that, in the absence of a common friend to do that office for me, I should introduce myself to your acquaintance, and I hope coming friendship.
A woman can sob from the top of her palate, or her lips, or anywhere else, but a man cries from his diaphragm, and it rends him to pieces. Also, the exhibition causes the throat of the on-looker to close at the top. "Poor devil!" said the colonel, coughing tremendously, "We ought to send him to hospital. He's been manhandled." Now the adjutant loved his rifles.
A most arbitrary Herr, with glooms and whims; dim-eyed, ambitious, voracious, and the temper of an angry mule, very fit to have been haltered, in a judicious manner, instead of being set to halter others! "Owing to the reigning Duke's behavior," said everybody. Cocceji's method, so far as the Foreign on-looker can discern across much haze, seems to be three-fold:
