I would not want to go there, Miss Gertrude; I'm sure she'd bit your head off." "Wouldn't Miss Emily take the flowers?" asked Gertrude, looking quite grieved. "Well, she hadn't no word in the matter. You know she couldn't see what they were; and Mrs. Ellis flung 'em outside the door, vowin' I might as well bring pison into the room with a fever as roses. I tried to speak to Miss Emily, but Mrs.
The place of the wells and of the walls and of many other things be yet apertly seen, but the riches is voided clean. And it is not long gone, since that place was destroyed. BESIDE that Isle of Mistorak upon the left side nigh to the river of Pison is a marvellous thing. There is a vale between the mountains, that dureth nigh a four mile.
I was only aware that I was with Hilda once more and therefore in Paradise. Pison and Gihon watered the desolate land. Whatever she did seemed to me supremely right. If she had proposed to me to begin a ponderous work on Medical Jurisprudence, under the shadow of the big rock, I should have begun it incontinently. She handed me her slip of paper; I took it and read: "Sebastian told you I was Dr.
That ere cream-colored gal was always a-hanging over her like a pison vine, and the more she tended her, the sicker she grew anybody with an eye to the windward, could see that without a glass." "Benson, you surprise you pain me!" cried Mabel, with sudden energy. "Great Heavens, what could have put this wild idea into your head?"
"Eh? Well, maybe so. Must have been a mighty rank cigarette to smell up the whole premises like this just goin' past a window. Whew! Gosh! no wonder they say them things are rank pison. I'd sooner smoke skunk-cabbage myself; 'twouldn't smell no worse and 'twould be a dum sight safer. Whew! . . . Well, Helen, there's about the kind of hook I cal'late you need. Fifteen cents 'll let you out on that.
It branched off from the main river at a point somewhat north of Babylon, and flowed into the Persian gulf. There is, indeed, no direct evidence to show that this branch bore a name resembling Pison. Palgu is the Assyrian whence the Greek Pallakopas was derived. The identification of the channel called "Pallakopas" will be found mentioned in Colonel Chesney's work, "An Expedition to the Tigris."
'Mind you stand on the top of the desk, Ruskin; gentlemen-commoners never stand on the steps. I asked him whether it would look more dignified to stand head or heels uppermost. He advised heels. Then met Desart. 'We must have a grand supper after this, Ruskin; gentlemen-commoners always have a flare-up after reading their themes. I told him I supposed he wanted to 'pison my rum-and-water."
Now tell me truly, what do you think made him push you in? "Of course, it was the pison, Sir, a baby like that wouldn't harm a flea. I thought maybe, until I see Dr.
"Yes, yes! do the funny girl with the baby, and the old woman, and the lady that took pison and had fits!" shouted the children, charmed with the idea. Christie felt ready for any thing just then, and gave them Tilly Slowboy, Miss Miggs, and Mrs. Gummage, in her best style, while the young folks rolled on the grass in ecstasies, and Mrs. Wilkins laughed till she cried.
Observe, in passing, that the author gives no detail about the great river Euphrates, as being well known; while he adds particulars about the Tigris, and describes the Gihon and the Pison in some detail. Now it will at once strike the reader that two of these rivers are well known to the present day. The others are not.
