We had broken bread at the camp-fire of the pioneer; we had seen him build his house and provide it with the simple, durable furnishings of his day; we had shared the easy comfort of his hearty board; we had drawn near to his good wife as she rocked the cradle or sat spinning in the firelight; we had watched their descendants attain prosperity and a taste for finery; we had seen how they had acquired fashion and in time had patterned their gowns, their bonnets, perhaps even their romances upon models of Lady Maude.
Giuseppe and Raffaelle and Cesare, however, were not to be discouraged, and as soon as they could they laid their hands on long cloaks and broad-brimmed hats, and dressed as nearly as possible like their black-haired friend. They invented countersigns and mottoes, planned conspiracies, and patterned themselves as nearly after the Carbonari as they could.
She was deeply attached to the memory of her late husband and her late sovereign, Queen Victoria, upon whom, with certain reservations, she patterned herself. The reservations were a taste for stormy literature and a habit of wearing her ice-white hair bobbed. The bobbing of her hair, and it used to be waist long, was a tribute to patriotism.
It was in truth a river; a river running like a writing across a patterned plane. I looked upward up to the circling peaks. They were a stupendous coronet thrusting miles deep into the dazzling sky.

But the rest of his verse, too, is the work of a true and delightful poet, a faithful priest of literature, an honest craftsman with words. Mr.
But shafts of light, striking up from it, patterned the underside of a vast dapple of fleecy cloud heliotrope upon the back-cloth of blue ether with fringes and bosses of scarlet flame. Against this, occupying the foreground, the pine trees, which sheltered the terrace, showed up a deep greenish purple bordering upon black.
It is patterned upon and no doubt grew out of the less perfect borough systems of Europe, and those inchoate communes of our Saxon forefathers which were denominated 'Hundreds. It is the slow growth of centuries of political experience; the ripe fruit of ages of liberty-seeking thought. "The township is the shield and nursery of individual freedom of thought and action.
