Bivens, his schoolmate at college Bivens, the little razorback scion of poor white trash from the South who had suddenly become a millionaire! His blood boiled with rage. He could see the soft, cat-like movements of Mrs. Primrose and hear her purring while she spun the web to entangle him with Nan. As he turned and followed the doctor, he laughed with sudden fierce determination.
In the month of February, 1835, I read an advertisement in the Lowell Journal, asking for a clerk in a store, application to be made at the office. I at once wrote to Joseph S. Hubbard,* a former schoolmate, asking him to call at the office and get the name of the advertiser. This he did, and gave me the name of Benj. P. Dix of Groton. I wrote to Mr.
He knew it was his destination because, on a wide porch facing the west, he came upon his friend and former schoolmate, John Matthews, snugly rolled in his blankets, sound asleep. Jimmy took this sleep as a personal affront. As if jeering at his own sleeplessness, Matthews emitted a faint snore. Jimmy cat-footed it down to the lake, scooped up a bucketful of water and went back to Matthews.
In that case she wondered to whom she would like to turn him over. There was her schoolmate and chum, Miss Hamlin. How lucky any man would be to get her, and Harry how would he feel about it? Then, like a cold draught in her brain came the recollection that Lucille and Harry had corresponded all the four years he was at college.
How often is the mind cankered with vexation at the intellectual achievements of an old schoolmate, whom in school days we never deemed wiser than ourselves, when all that has wrought the present difference between us is, that he thought and strove while we dreamed and loitered. In its purely religious action, Thought is the fountain of that Faith which forms the base of St.
The reason, the real reason, probably lies in the fact that if she were thinking of caring for anyone it would be for that attractive young schoolmate she brought up here for me to exercise my wits upon. It is very likely that she regards me in the light of a grandfatherly person to whom she can come with her joys or her problems, as frankly as she has now."
All the sadder its fate; for alas! a gang of rowdy boys fell upon Harry, and while he was busy fighting half of them he is as plucky as his uncle, the general the other half looted the beautiful stock in trade! They would have despoiled our poor little merchant entirely but for the opportune arrival of a schoolmate who is mightily respected by the rowdies.
Laura grabbed one end and together they wrapped their schoolmate in the heavy folds. Short and Long was cast to the street and they rolled him in the blanket. The fire was smothered, but what injury had it done to the boy? He was unconscious; for in falling he had struck his head, and the wound was bleeding. Mrs. Sweet was crying and wringing her hands. "Oh, it's awful! Purt! Purt!
"The other way is to apply to his attorney and adviser, Señor Pasta, the oracle before whom Don Custodio bows." "I prefer that," said Isagani. "Señor Pasta is a Filipino, and was a schoolmate of my uncle's. But how can we interest him?" "There's the quid," replied Makaraig, looking earnestly at Isagani. "Señor Pasta has a dancing girl I mean, a seamstress." Isagani again shook his head.
The May night was sultry, and the air in the low room had been hot and oppressive. He would gladly have dropped the useless discussion, but Erasmus's heart was set upon winning his schoolmate to the doctrine which he believed with his whole soul. He toiled with the utmost zeal, but during their nocturnal walk also he failed to convince his opponent. Both were true to their religion.
