So when the men went to the front and the women carried on their work, they were only proving a proverb. But in England careers for women, outside those of governess, typist, barmaid, or show girl, which entailed marrying a marquis, were as few as votes. The war has changed that. It gave woman her chance, and she jumped at it.
"When the elder is white, brew and bake a peck, When the elder is black, brew and bake a sack." According to an old proverb, "You must look for grass on the top of the oak tree," the meaning being, says Ray, that "the grass seldom springs well before the oak begins to put forth." "When daffodils begin to peer, With heigh! the doxy over the dale, Why, then conies in the sweet o' the year."
For my part, I believe that the proverb, "As great a liar as a bulletin," has as much truth in it as the axiom, two and two make four. The bulletins always announced what Bonaparte wished to be believed true; but to form a proper judgment on any fact, counter-bulletins must be sought for and consulted.
"Laura," he said, "the proverb maker was a prophet as well. In these words, written four thousand years ago, he has described you, line for line." The glow which warmed her cheek, still smooth, the light which came into her clear eyes, the joy that filled her heart at these kind words, put the years to flight, and for the moment Laura was young again.
He muttered a proverb of the stables. Reduced to behave temperately, he began the whole history of my bankers' book anew the same queries, the same explosions and imprecations. 'Come for a walk with me, dear Harry, said Janet.
"Lucrezia, Lucrezia," said the mother, "you do not deserve the happiness which is coming to us." "What does that matter, if it comes all the same? Besides, you know the proverb; mother: 'Large families are blessed of the Lord'; and still more so our family, which is so patriarchal."
It was a proverb that with Spanish bishops and French priests an excellent clergy could be made. But not all the French bishops were worldly, nor neglectful of their spiritual duties. After the bishops came the abbots.
The Calabrian doctors prescribed the dance as a remedy for the hysteric affections which are common among the women of their country; and the Arabs use a somewhat similar recipe for the highbred mares, whose too lively temperament hinders their fecundity. 'Dull as a dancer' is a familiar proverb at the theatre.
She felt the cold, too, in spite of her fat, and as the proverb says: It's easier for two to keep warm than one; but whatever was her reason for doing it, Long Ole might thank his Maker for her. There was always bacon hanging in her chimney. Lasse and Pelle looked forward to term-day with anxiety. What changes would it bring this time for people? So much depended on that.
He then carefully locked it up in his chest, and being an upright and kind-hearted man, it was with great satisfaction that he believed he had it in his power to right the wronged. "Man proposes, God disposes," is a proverb, day after day proved to be true in the lives of every man.
