It is more difficult to understand why the alcoves believed by MM. Place and Thomas to have been bedrooms were in each case painted with this same band of black. The most curious example of the employment of unbroken tints to which we can point, is in the case of M. Place's observatory.
Counting backward to the time when the earth's surface must have been hotter, according to La Place's idea, he decided that our globe has been cool enough for the existence of life upon it for a period of somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred million years.
We all entreat you, take us with you! WALLENSTEIN. The place's evil omens will I change, Making it that which shields and shelters for me My best beloved. The Swedish officer. WALLENSTEIN. Leave her alone with me. There pale as death! Child, 'tis impossible That thou shouldst speak with him. Follow thy mother. THEKLA. The Lady Neubrunn then may stay with me.
"You still think that you will marry him yourself, that perhaps his uncle will die and leave him once more a rich man the master of The Place, as the old Place's master should be; but that is a distant prospect, Marian." Mrs. Bethune has swung around, her beautiful figure is drawn up to its most stately height. "Not another word!" says she imperiously. "What have I to do with your son?
"In the fifth year of the reign of King Henry II. after the conquest of England by William, duke of Normandy, the Lord of Uglebardby, then called William de Bruce, and the Lord of Sneton, called Ralph de Perci, with a gentleman and a freeholder called Allatson, did on the 16th day of October appoint to meet and hunt the wild boar, in a certain wood or desert place belonging to the abbot of the monastery of Whitby; the place's name is Eskdale-side; the abbot's name was Sedman.
At seven in the morning an expressman drove two miles with it to a country-home, a mile or so from the village where Lass had been disembarked from the train. An eager knot of people the Mistress, the Master and two gardeners crowded expectantly around the crate as it was set down on the lawn in front of The Place's veranda.
I regret to see that La Place's house at Arcueil has been broken into, and his manuscripts thrown into the river, from which some one has fortunately rescued that of the "Mécanique Céleste," which is in his own handwriting. It is greatly to the honour of French men of science that during the siege they met as usual in the hall of the Institute, and read their papers as in the time of peace.
It was not long before Place's prophetic words began to be realized, and in another half century the movement was affecting the birthrate of all civilized lands, though it can scarcely yet be said that justice has been done to the pioneers who promoted it in the face of much persecution from the ignorant and superstitious public whom they sought to benefit.
At sight of Lass he lowered his head for a charge. He was king of The Place's dogs, this mighty thoroughbred, Sunnybank Lad. And he did not welcome canine intruders. But he halted midway in his dash toward the puppy who frisked forth so gayly to meet him. For he recognized her as a female. And man is the only animal that will molest the female of his species.
A furry gold-white whirlwind, she flashed off of the vine-shaded veranda and tore at top speed up the hill to meet the coming car. No, it was not the Mistress and the Master whose approach stirred the fiery little collie to lightning activity. Lad knew the purr of the Place's car and he could distinguish it from any other, as far as his sensitive ears could catch its sound.
