At this retort the Virginian permitted himself to laugh in audible sympathy. "Sprung," continued Balaam, with a sigh. "Whirling round short when his bones were soft did that. Yes." "Sprung!" Shorty said, with a bark of indignation. "Come on, Pede; you and me'll spring for town." He caught the horn of the saddle, and as he swung into place the horse rushed away with him.
Nevil replied modestly: 'I dare say you think me half a fool, sir. All I know is, I waited for my betters to speak first. I have no dislike of Frenchmen. Everard shook his head to signify, 'not half. But he was gentle enough in his observations. 'There's a motto, Ex pede Herculem. You stepped out for the dogs to judge better of us.
Up went the King's cane away ran the terrified instructor; and Frederic's classical studies ended for ever. He now and then affected to quote Latin sentences, and produced such exquisitely Ciceronian phrases as these: "Stante pede morire" "De gustibus non est disputandus," "Tot verbas tot spondera."
Ouen's priory. "Raro antecedentem scelestum Deseruit pede Poena claudo." It was midday, and the sun was pouring the full power of his noontide beams on the wilderness of reeds and flags which overspread the southern side of the Dismal Swamp, reposing on the treacherous surface of bog, quagmire, and quicksand.
Hither, pede titubante, Jerome-Nicolas Sechard brought his son, and pointed to a sheet of paper lying on the table a valuation of plant drawn up by the foreman under his direction. "Read that, my boy," said Jerome-Nicolas, rolling a drunken eye from the paper to his son, and back to the paper. "You will see what a jewel of a printing-house I am giving you."
No one can feel any reasonable doubt that we have heard about Christ and Socrates and Buddha and St. Francis a mere chaos of excerpts, a mere book of quotations. But from those fragmentary epigrams we can deduce greatness as clearly as we can deduce Venus from the torso of Venus or Hercules ex pede Herculem.
Death ultimately tramples the glass dome into fragments; each individual life is shattered, and the whole integer of life, constituted of the many individual lives, is shattered. If everything else written by Shelley were to perish, and only this consummate image to remain so vast in purport, so terse in form he would still rank as a poet of lofty imagination. Ex pede Herculem.
This we could not think of allowing: it became indispensable, therefore, to kick him out, which we did with universal consent, the whole company lending their toes uno pede, as I may say, though pitying his gray hairs and his angelic smile. During the operation the orchestra poured in their old chorus.
We must not be too sagacious in judging people by the little excrescences of their character. Ex pede Herculem may often prove safe enough, but ex verruca Tullium is liable to mislead a hasty judge of his fellow-men. I have studied the people called misers and thought a good deal about them.
To put the emphasis on the rejection of their proposal to make a point of that is to insult the reader. Of course it was rejected. How should it possibly, by any stretch of poltroonery and baseness, be otherwise? Ex pede Herculem. This bedrummed and betrumpeted man of genius cannot read the A B ab of the human emotions.
