Edward proposed to send off to the nearest garrison for a party of soldiers and a magistrate's warrant; and Rose, as far as she dared, endeavoured to insinuate the course of paying the arrears of tribute money to Fergus Mac-Ivor Vich Ian Vohr, who, they all knew, could easily procure restoration of the cattle, if he were properly propitiated. None of these proposals met the Baron's approbation.
By the contrivance of Kamandaki, a second interview between the lovers takes place in the public garden of the temple of Sankara. Malati is persuaded that the god Sankara is to be propitiated with offerings of flowers gathered by one's self. Whilst she is collecting her oblation she and Madhava meet as if by accident.
Does she know has she ever known what you and I knew?" His eyes, full of trouble, propitiated her. He took her hand and kissed it. "Bear with me, dear mother! I don't see my way, but Mary is to me my life. At any rate, I won't do in a hurry what you disapprove." Thus a little further delay was gained.
Therefore, argues the uncivilized mind, he is to be cajoled and propitiated more sedulously now than before his strange transformation. This kind of worship still maintains a languid existence as the state religion of China, and it still exists as a portion of Brahmanism; but in the Vedic religion it is to be seen in all its vigour and in all its naive simplicity.
This was readily admitted by the higher chiefs; some because their vanity had been propitiated, some because their avarice had been gratified, some because their ambition had been inflamed, and a few, a very few, because to remain friends with Alexius was the most probable means of advancing the purposes of their expedition.
"I'm only asking you to do me a favour," I went on, and I put a couple of Treasury notes into his hand. "You can inquire about me at my office to-morrow, if you like. They will tell you, I expect, that I have been away on a month's leave." The little palm-oil no doubt propitiated him, for he invited me in.
Max stood to watch the tall figure disappear into the tangle of traffic, then with a light step, a light heart, a light sense of propitiated fate, he began the climb to his home. That night the pencil-sketch obsessed the brain of Max.
As, among men, some are good and some bad, so among these spirits some were beneficent and others the reverse, while a third class was helpful or mischievous according as it was propitiated by offerings or irritated by neglect. The great thing was to know how to command the services of the spirits when they were required.
"I never meant to call his writings rubbish," said the subdued sculptor. "I know he's the greatest writer in England." "And you, my dear Stickleback, the greatest sculptor the world has ever seen!" exclaimed the easily propitiated critic. "Why will you doubt my respect, my admiration of your surpassing talent? When our other friends leave me, Stickleback, I hope you will stay for half an hour.
In Phoenician temples women prostituted themselves for hire in the service of religion, believing that by this conduct they propitiated the goddess and won her favour. "It was a law of the Amorites, that she who was about to marry should sit in fornication seven days by the gate." At Byblus the people shaved their heads in the annual mourning for Adonis.
