'Quisquis amat ranam, ranam purat esse Dianam'.
After having passed the arched roof of the portico, and left behind me the antique bronze doors surmounted with lions' heads, a white rotundo of two stories, in which all the "fantasies" of architecture are displayed, attracted my attention.

There he sung ore rotundo, throwing forth an astonishing tide of voice; whilst little Dick, a thin, pale-faced urchin, with his head, from which the hair stood erect, sunk between his hollow shoulders, was performing prodigious feats of agility. "What's the matter? what's the matter?" said the gentlemen. "Good morning, Mr. Kavanagh!" Tooral lol, lol
He has great variety of conversation, commensurate with his experiences in life, and sometimes will talk Spanish, ore rotundo, sometimes imitate the Catholic priests, chanting Latin songs for the dead, in deep, gruff, awful tones, producing really a very strong impression, then he will break out into a light, French song, perhaps of love, perhaps of war, acting it out, as if on the stage of a theatre: all this intermingled with continual fun, excited by the incidents of the passing moment.
Augusta had just been unfolding that part of her story which dealt with the important document tattooed upon her shoulders, to which Lady Holmhurst had listened "ore rotundo."

Enough I have no time to spare I must be gone. Now to your hotel! go and rest. To-morrow at twelve I shall be with you at twelve in the Rotundo. Good night! Adieu."

Our first duty is to love God, our next to honor the King! and New France will never fail in either!" Loyalty was ingrained in every fibre of La Corne St. Luc. "Never, Chevalier.
At those words, delivered ore rotundo, the haymakers ceased laughing; for even in lay matters they held the parson to be an oracle, and words so long must have a great deal in them. Lenny drew up his head proudly. "You are very fond of Flop, I suppose?" "'Deed he is," said the widow, "and of all poor dumb creatures." "Very good.
