"The Czar, the Sultan, and the Pope, sent their rubles and their pauls. The Pacha of Egypt, the Shah of Persia, the Emperor of China, the Rajahs of India, conspired to do for Ireland what her so-styled rulers refused to do to keep her young and old people living in the land. America did more in this work of mercy than all the rest of the world."
The next day she came to ask for chocolate in her usual way, but she no longer bore upon her features her old tranquillity of expression. "I will take coffee, mademoiselle," I observed; "and as I do not want foie gras any longer, I will take dinner by myself. Consequently, you may tell your father that I shall only pay seven pauls a day. In future I shall only drink Orvieto wine."
John Dunne, who leaving Oxford, lived at the Innes of Court, not dissolute, but very neat; a great Visitor of Ladies, a great frequenter of Playes, a great writer of conceited Verses; until such times as King James taking notice of the pregnancy of his Wit, was a means that he betook him to the study of Divinity, and thereupon proceeding Doctor, was made Dean of Pauls; and became so rare a Preacher, that he was not only commended, but even admired by all who heard him."
I hired a town-coach at the rate of fourteen pauls, or seven shillings a day; and a servitore di piazza for three pauls, or eighteen-pence. The coachman has also an allowance of two pauls a day. The provisions at Rome are reasonable and good, the vitella mongana, however, which is the most delicate veal I ever tasted, is very dear, being sold for two pauls, or a shilling, the pound.
Davis would present herself at their office by the end of May. "We beg to remain," etc. The suggestion came as a welcome incentive to the young couple. Anything that might expedite matters was to their taste. They had talked of making a visit to Archie's relatives and introducing Adelle to the modern paradise of the golden slope and at the same time visiting the Pauls.
He spoke these words in the Italian language. The Italian name which he found was Campidoglio. The coachman hesitated a moment, and then said, holding up three fingers at the same time, "Three pauls." Of course he spoke in Italian. Rollo, instead of answering him, immediately began to turn away and look out towards the other carriages. "Si, signore, si," said the coachman. "Two pauls let it be."
You're not his sort in the least. You're worth a million Pauls." This was so odd for Henry, who was certainly not given to compliments, that Maggie burst out laughing. "Yes, you may laugh," said Henry. "I know what I'm talking about. Have you ever seen Paul asleep after dinner?" "No," said Maggie. "I wish you had. That might have saved you. Have you ever seen Grace lose her temper?"
"You have given the signore a beautiful fright," observed the old man. "I told him you had gone out. With one jump he was upstairs. By this time he cries." Gloria took a silver piece of two pauls from her purse. "Can you carry up these things for me?" she inquired, concealing her annoyance at the man's speech. "I am not a porter," said the cobbler, with his head on one side. "But one must live.
It is by far the most singular and picturesque chain of mountains on this coast. To the highest part of it we gave the name of St. Pauls, as it is not unlike that cathedral when viewed at a distance, with its dome and two towers. Before we left the Kaumayok, Brother Kohlmeister landed, and found the beach covered with blocks of stone, in colour white and grey, like statuary marble, but very hard.
Only when the quick click, click of the windlass pauls reached their listening ears, as the anchor came up to the song of the sailors and the ship's head swung round, did the girls begin to weep. But the mother, pressing them to her side, chid them, and said that a year was but a little time, and then she sank down and wept with them.
