They are, indeed, of those that are far astray. We find some men desiring liberty, and priding themselves therein. Such men are in the depths of ignorance. Liberty must, in the end, lead to sedition, whose flames none can quench. Thus warneth you He Who is the Reckoner, the All-Knowing. Know ye that the embodiment of liberty and its symbol is the animal.
Colonel, I'm a good reckoner, as I've seen lots of war, and they ain't got more `n fifteen thousand men there on the creek, while if we get all our divisions together we can hit `em with nigh on to sixty thousand. For God's sake, Colonel, can't we do it?" "We ought to, and if I can do anything, we will. Sergeant, you've done a great service at a great risk, and all of us owe you thanks.
No customers appeared, however, and he looked back to Dennis and Alister, but they had both folded their arms, and were watching us in silence. "Murther and ages!" he repeated, "it doesn't feel the half of it." "I fancy it seems longer, if anything, to her. But she has been on the look-out for you every day, you see. You've a good business, Mr. Macartney, so I dare say you're a ready reckoner.
He never opened a book, save a manual of husbandry or a ready reckoner; he could conceive of no reason for walking, unless it were the business of the farm. Nothing irritated him more than to see Desmond stretched at length with his nose in Mr. Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, or a volume of Hakluyt's Voyages, or perhaps Mr. Oldys's Life of Sir Walter Raleigh.
He had always, to the best of his knowledge and belief, tried to lead a different life, and this was too much too much bourbon. Scratching out the last line that he had written, which was something about something biting like an anaconda, and stinging like a ready reckoner, he put on his coat and started down town, resolved to face the multitude, conscious of his innocence.
If I conquer you, O'Donnell lends me twoscore men for three months; also, by conquering you I win your men to me, which makes fifty. With my seventy men, I shall fall to work." "By my faith, a ready reckoner!" and Cathbarr grinned again. "Get down and fight." Brian swung out of the saddle and led his horse to one side. They were not so badly matched, he reflected.
John sprang to his feet, shook his head violently several times, and then was wide awake. "Thanks, Wharton," he said. "You're a true friend but you're a wretched reckoner of time." "How so?" "You said it was three hours and a half when in reality it was only three minutes and a half." But a clear wintry sun was shining in at the door of the tent, and he saw its gold across the snow.
Broken saw blade, hammer, broken crockery, old pannikins, small rusty frying-pan without a handle, children's old shoes, many bits of old bootleather and greenhide, part of yellowback novel, mutilated English dictionary, grammar and arithmetic book, a ready reckoner, a cookery book, a bulgy anglo-foreign dictionary, part of a Shakespeare, book in French and book in German, and a book on etiquette and courtship.
We admire; and, failing to understand whence came those glorious harvests in this one or in that, we say of them: "They have the gift." A goatherd amuses himself by making combinations with heaps of little pebbles. He becomes an astoundingly quick and accurate reckoner without other aid than a moment's reflection.
He slew, moreover, some of Our kindred, and plundered Our property, and made Our family captives in the hands of the oppressors. Once and again he imprisoned Me. By God, the True One! None can reckon the things which befell Me in prison, save God, the Reckoner, the Omniscient, the Almighty.
