You have read, when a guileless little chap in roundabouts, "The Children of the Abbey," and other tales of like kidney. They were romantic and sentimental, weren't they? Well, old fellow, not one of them was half so romantic or sentimental as this marriage of mine. There were villains in them, too Colonel Belgrave, and so forth black-hearted monsters, without one redeeming trait.

She was just eighteen when the furniture was made roycroftie she was a young lady, grown, and wore a dress with a train; moreover, she had been to London and had been courted by a widower, while Isaac Newton was only a lad in roundabouts. Age counts for little it is experience and temperament that weigh in the scale. Isaac was only a little boy, and Mary Story treated him like one.

A handsome carriage, with one seat, was drawn by four large and elegant black horses, the two near horses ridden by postilions in blue and silver, blue roundabouts, white breeches and topboots, a round-topped silver cap, and the hair, or wig, powdered, and showing just a little behind. A footman mounted behind, seated, wore the same colors; and the whole establishment was exceedingly tonnish. St.

Scarlet roundabouts, trimmed with a profusion of gold braid, bedeck their consequential bodies; red slippers embroidered with gold thread cover their feet, and their snowy turbans end in a gold-flecked tuft of transparent muslin that imparts a bantam-like air of superiority.

Cricket-balls whiz about us like shells at Inkermann; and the suggestive "Thank you" of the scouts forces the passer-by into unwonted activity as he shies the ball to the bowler. Then there are roundabouts uncountable, and gymnasia abundant.

About him once again was the old atmosphere: figures were filling his brain, the world was a wild tossing place ... one of those Roundabouts with the hissing lights, the screaming music, the horses going up and down. Plain enough now that the old life was not done with. Every moment of his past life seemed to spring before him claiming recognition. He was drunk with the desire for work.

When I was a little chap in roundabouts they used to take me to his church every Sunday, and keep me in wriggling torments through a three-hours' sermon. Yes, I know him, to my sorrow." "He is a clergyman, then?" Mollie said, slowly. Mr. Ingelow stared at the odd question. "I have always labored under that impression, Miss Dane, and so does the Reverend Mr. Rashleigh himself, I fancy.

The boys took that for a kind of hint, and they pulled off their roundabouts and set to work with him. Frank thought it was not exactly like the Fourth, but he did not say anything, and they kept loading up the rails and hauling them to the edge of the field where Dave's father was going to build the fence, and then unloading them, and going back to the pile for more.

"Well, we have pants, coarse and fine roundabouts, shirts, drawers, and almost any article of men's wear you can mention." "What do you give for shirts, sir?" "Various prices; from six cents up to twenty-five, according to the quality of the article." "Only twenty-five cents for fine shirts!" returned the young woman, in a surprised, disappointed, desponding tone. "Only twenty-five cents? Only?

Booths, roundabouts, Amazon queens, and the rest are the only chance of colour the English people have, and no wonder they love them. But in themselves and in mass the crowds were drab, dingy, and black. Even "ostridges" and "pearlies," that used to break the monotony like the exchange of men's and women's hats, are thought to be declining.
