He could have lived gaily on a crust in good company and amid smiling faces; but the social deficiencies of Pianura were more difficult to endure than any material privation. In Italy, as the Marquis had more than once remarked, people loved, gambled, wrote poetry, and patronised the arts; but, alas, they did not converse.
Remember, "the glory of young men is their strength." If games were more patronised in youth, so many miserable, nervous, useless creatures would not abound. Let a boy or girl, then, have plenty of play; let half of his or her time be spent in play. There ought to be a gymnasium established in every town of the kingdom.
She is quite conscious of the limited range of her musical talents, and never makes them common or produces them out of place, a rare virtue; moreover she is proud enough, and will not be easily netted and patronised by any of that class of ladies who may be called Lion-providers for town and country. She is domestic besides, and will not be disposed to gad about.
There were other inns, respectable enough, such as the Bull, a little higher up, patronised by the smaller commercial travellers and farmers, but the entrance passage to the Bull had sand on the floor, and carriers made it a house of call. To the Bell the two coaches came which went through Eastthorpe, and there they changed horses.
He was loud in praise of the advantages which he derived from his farm, saying it saved his flocks, and assisted him in the means of food when his ewes were pregnant, or giving lamb. I patronised this farmer, and offered to lend him some tools for digging with, when he said he did not want that so much as some hints about sowing, and wished I would send a man to instruct him.
Upon this principle Lord Oldborough abided, not only by his own measures, but by his own instruments right or wrong, he was known to support those whom he had once employed or patronised. Lucky this for the Falconer family! "How I pity you who have no vacations!
So it happened that Lorraine motored down alone to a quaint little fishing-village on the south coast, where there was a charming, old-fashioned, creeper-decked hotel, too far from the railway for the ordinary week-end tourists, and patronised mainly by motorists in the summer. And on Friday the motor went back to town to fetch Alymer, bringing him down about four o'clock, unaccompanied.
You don't usually feel a romantic passion for your mother. You allow her to feed you and be patronised by you and stand aside to let victorious youth pass on. But see unworthy hands touching her worn dress the hands of Weedon Moore! and you snatch it from their grasp. Jeff still stood there thinking.
Why, mate But what's your name? I've forgot to ax you that all this time!" "Call me Miles," said our hero, with some hesitation. "Call you Miles! Ain't you Miles?" "Well, yes, I am; only there's more of my name than that, but that's enough for your purpose, I daresay." "All right. Well, Miles, you was askin' how the house is patronised. I'll tell 'ee.
In those two days he brought her almost into submission, and patronised her very kindly; and he passed one evening with the lovely pie-maker at Chatteris, in which he bragged of his influence over his mother; and he spent the other night in composing a most flaming and conceited copy of verses to his divinity, in which he vowed, like Montrose, that he would make her famous with his sword and glorious by his pen, and that he would love her as no mortal woman had been adored since the creation of womankind.
