When she was standing close by him, she put her hand lightly on his arm and said: "Please do, Mr. Rhadamanthus." "It's as much as my place is worth," he grumbled. Dolly's eyes shone still, but the faintest little smile began to play about her mouth. When you're old because you are not really old now you will say, 'I'm glad I didn't send poor Dolly Mickleham away crying."
As time went on, the tough and rough old sinner felt himself drawn to the son of his loins and sole continuator of his new family, with softnesses of sentiment that he could hardly credit and was wholly impotent to express. With a face, voice, and manner trained through forty years to terrify and repel, Rhadamanthus may be great, but he will scarce be engaging.
And more than this, as if it were beginning to be felt that something more was wanted after all to satisfy us with the completeness of the Divine rule, we have a glimpse it is but one, but it is like a ray of sunshine falling in upon the darkness of the grave 'of the far-off Elysian fields where dwells Rhadamanthus with the golden hair, where life is ever sweet, and sorrow is not, nor winter, nor any rain or storm, and the never-dying zephyrs blow soft and cool from off the ocean.
If he is cherishing any hopes of the vulgar, everyday sort, he did not get them from me." "And did he believe all that? If so, I must have been mistaken in the man." "He had to believe it. It was the simple truth: I merely arranged the colors properly on his mental canvas. He thinks I am Solon and Rhadamanthus and Nehemiah in one.
The coldest welcome that a threadbare curate ever got at the door of a bishop's palace, the most icy reception that a country cousin ever received at the city mansion of a mushroom millionaire, is agreeably tepid, compared to that which the Rhadamanthus who dooms you to the more or less elevated circle of his inverted Inferno vouchsafes, as you step up to enter your name on his dog's-eared register.
The three doctors, delegated and appointed overseers, sat at Bishopsgate, at the end of a room on the ground floor, in three armchairs covered with black leather, with three busts of Minos, Æacus, and Rhadamanthus, in the wall above their heads, a table before them, and at their feet a form for the accused.
Somewhere, far off on that shimmering plain, Glaucon the Beautiful had fallen asleep; whether he waked in the land of Rhadamanthus, whether he had been stolen away by Leucothea and the other nymphs to be their playfellow, she did not know.
"I was and a more interesting piece of scandal it has seldom been " "Hush! I didn't do anything. Now, you know I didn't, Mr. Carter!" "No," said I, "you didn't. But Rhadamanthus, taking you unawares " "Oh, be off with you both of you!" cried Rhadamanthus. "That's sensible," said Dolly. "Because you know, there really isn't any harm in poor Mr. Carter." Rhadamanthus vanished.
Bad spelling might be overlooked by those that had charge of it; bad drilling is not permissible on any terms. We need not doubt the Crown-Prince did his soldier-duty faithfully, and learned in every point the conduct of an officer: penalty as of Rhadamanthus waited upon all failure there. That he liked it is by no means said; he much disliked it, and his disgusts were many.
There are all kinds of monsters and forms of fearful import: Cerberus, with his triple head; Charon, freighting his boat with the shades of the dead; the Fates, in their garments of ermine bordered with purple; the avenging Erinnys; Rhadamanthus, before whom every Asiatic must render his account; Æacus, before whom every European; and Minos, the dread arbiter of the judgment-seat.
