In case of any subsequent inquiry into the fate of Jimson, It was desirable he should be little seen: in other words, that he should spend the day entirely in the house. To this end, and further to corroborate his fable, he had brought in the leather case not only writing materials, but a ream of large-size music paper, such as he considered suitable for an ambitious character like Jimson's.
<b>HOXIE, VINNIE REAM.</b> Born in Madison, Wisconsin, 1847. This sculptor was but fifteen years old when she was commissioned to make a life-size statue of Abraham Lincoln, who sat for his bust; her completed statue of him is in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington. Congress then gave her the commission for the heroic statue of Admiral Farragut, now in Farragut Square, Washington.
By these the coffin of the admiral was escorted to the railroad station, whence it was transported to Woodlawn Cemetery, in Westchester County, where the body now lies. To his memory the United States Government has erected a colossal bronze statue in the national capital, in Farragut Square, the work of Miss Vinnie Ream. A committee of New York citizens have placed a similar memorial, by Mr. St.
Some notion of its size may be derived from what we know about the material supplied for Lionardo's Cartoon. This, say Crowe and Cavalcaselle, "was made up of one ream and twenty-nine quires, or about 288 square feet of royal folio paper, the mere pasting of which necessitated a consumption of eighty-eight pounds of flour, the mere lining of which required three pieces of Florentine linen."
No, I'll write by the ream, Only give me your theme, And a sou more for a light To put in my garret at night. Garret! ah, I was forgetting, My present's a very cheap letting Under the prison wall, Just where it grows so tall. Why don't I steal, you say? Oh, I wasn't brought up that way. Will you give me the twenty sous? Come, it isn't much to lose. You won't? Then I die.
The respect shown for family relations may be seen also from the fact that a son could complain de facto matris queri if he believed that his mother had brought in supposititious offspring to defraud him of some of his inheritance; but he was strictly forbidden to bring her into court with a public and criminal action Macer in Dig., 48, 2, 11: sed ream eam lege Cornelia facere permissum ei non est.
"Lady Ethelinda had a whole ream of paper to draw on!" were the words pronounced in Kate's shrill key of eagerness, just as the long lost Mary and her father opened the door. "Indeed!" said Mr. Wardour, a tall, grave-looking man; "and who is Lady Ethelinda!" "O Papa, it's just a story I was drawing," said Kate, half eager, half ashamed.
Do the most clever criminals ever make childish blunders?" "My dear child, if they didn't the police would have very little chance. For instance, I have discovered how those enemies of ours got hold of the notepaper that lured Van Sneck here. They sent a messenger to Carter's, in East Street, presumedly knowing that my dies were there, and ordered a quarter of a ream of paper and envelopes.
"And send home mournful madrigals by the ream," said Bobus. "Never was petrel so tuneful a bird!" "For shame, Bobus; I never meant you to see them!" "'Twas quite involuntary! I have trouble enough with my own pupil's effusions.
"I could have done with a ream when I got started; but it's long enough for all the good I had to say." They were still at the addresses when the clerk strolled up, smirking and twirling his envelope, like a man well pleased. He looked over Herrick's shoulder. "Hullo," he said, "you ain't writing 'ome." "I am, though," said Herrick; "she lives with my father. O, I see what you mean," he added.
