The date of the picture is fixed as between 1518 when Dom Affonso, then aged nine, received his cardinal's hat, and 1521 when Dom Manoel died. Unfortunately the picture has been somewhat spoiled by restoration, but it is undoubtedly a very fine piece of work especially the portraits below and would be worthy of admiration anywhere, even in a country much richer in works of art.
Fads have lost what slight interest they possessed, the folly of imitation has been exposed. As a result of this, I like to think that we shall have a finer type of expression, a richer kind of personal quality.
Even before I was born the richer people of New York did not inhabit that city the year round, but their holiday excursions were far shorter than now, both in distance and duration. To escape the intenser heats of summer the moneyed citizen of those days sent his family to the seaside for six weeks or to the mountains.
When her sister put this question, however, a blush diffused itself over the features of the dying girl, so faint however as to be nearly imperceptible; resembling that hue of the rose which is thought to portray the tint of modesty, rather than the dye of the flower in its richer bloom.
The great cry which had gone out had aroused the entire country, and our old-time helpers, full of rich experience and still richer love for the work, faithful to the cross of humanity as the devotee to the cross of the Master, came up from every point the floods, the cyclones, the battle-fields and kneeling before the shrine, pledged heart and service anew to the work.
SQUIRE. "There, Parson, I hope you'll be in a better humour. You win enough out of us to set up a coach-and-four." "Tut!" muttered the parson; "at the end of the year, I'm not a penny the richer for it all." And, indeed, monstrous as that assertion seemed, it was perfectly true, for the parson portioned out his gains into three divisions. One-third he gave to Mrs.
This fertile area was an oasis with steep desolation hedging it in on all sides, but within its narrow confines men could raise not only the corn which constituted the staple of their less fortunate neighbors, but the richer crop of wheat as well. Therefore the men about Perry Center were as sheiks among goat-herds.
Rich plate, embossed, I afterwards learned, by Cellini the Florentine who died that year I remember and richer glass from Venice, with a crowd of meaner vessels filled with meats and drinks covered the table; disordered as by the attacks of a numerous party. But save a servant or two by the distant dresser, and an ecclesiastic at the far end of the table, the room was empty.
There remained to me but the clothes I had on a few old things I could wear only on board ship and thirty-two dollars. I was but a little richer than Bias. Unfortunately I recollected that an English captain whose ship I had seen in the roads owed me something like a hundred dollars. In my present circumstances this sum appeared a fortune.
This estimate has been confirmed, for the average advances from March 31, 1908, to September 15, 1909 when the Act ceased to operate was £287. A further reduction may be confidently expected, since the progress of purchase in the richer provinces has by far exceeded its progress in Connaught.
