But here comes in the little problem to which we have referred. Pride and Prejudice it is true, was written and finished before Sense and Sensibility its original title for several years being First Impressions. Then, in 1797, the author fell to work upon an older essay in letters a la Richardson, called Elinor and Marianne, which she re-christened Sense and Sensibility.
So as Joe Westlake found that he couldn't rest ashore he looked about him, and, after a while, fell in with and purchased a smart little cutter, which he re-christened the Tom Bowling, out of admiration of the song which no sailor ever sang more sweetly than he. It was perfectly consistent with his traditions as a man-of-wars man that, having bought his little ship, he should arm her.
When after the war of 1870 national feeling was pulsating very strongly in the veins of reunited Germany, the German cynologists were on the lookout for a national dog, and for that purpose the Great Dane was re-christened "Deutsche Dogge," and elected as the champion of German Dogdom. For a long time all these breeds had, no doubt, been indiscriminately crossed.
It is notorious that many of the saints of the calendar are only re-christened pagan deities adopted by the Church to meet popular demands.
She died with all exterior marks of true penitence, being about forty years of age, the 29th of January, 1719-20. The Farthing-Pie House was a tavern in Marylebone. It was subsequently re-christened The Green Man.
His father had started in life with this name, too, but, passing into the possession of an unromantic Yankee at Albany, had been re-christened Eli a name which he loathed yet perforce retained when Mr. Stewart bought him.
The river is very shallow, and for that reason was called by the Otoes, whose country embraced the region at its mouth, the Ne-bras-ka, and re-christened the Platte by the French trappers, a term synonymous to that given by the Indians. The Platte River, nearly three-quarters of a century ago, was called by Washington Irving, The most magnificent and most useless of streams.
It is said that the Exposition directors, for the rather foolish reason that a Court of the Ages would not fit into the scheme of a strictly contemporaneous exposition, re-christened it "The Court of Abundance." But it is the former name that sums up the thought behind the decorative features. The underlying idea is that of evolution.
She was a wooden schooner, once a Dundee whaler called the Mary but now re-christened the Scotia, and it would be silly to say how my eyes filled at sight of her, just because she had taken Martin down into the deep Antarctic and brought him safely back again. "She's a beauty, isn't she?" said Martin. "Isn't she?" I answered, and in spite of all my troubles I felt entirely happy.
Van Brunt of New York, had said that Scudder had a nice quiet island to let and maybe he could hire it. "Course Nate had an island that little sun-dried sandbank a mile or so off shore, abreast his house, which we used to call 'Horsefoot Bar. That crazy Van Brunt and his chum, Hartley, who lived there along with Sol Pratt a year or so ago, re-christened it 'Ozone Island, you remember.
