My duty was to meet her every Monday morning. The meeting insured her luck for the week. Mary was a huckster. She carried her shop on her arm a wicker basket in which she had thread, needles, ribbons and other things which she sold to the farmers and folks away from the shopping center. No one is lucky while bare-footed. Having no shoes I clattered down Sandy Somerville's entry in my father's.
Before the end of March he invented the clock-work alarm, in which an electro-magnet attracted an armature of soft iron, and thus withdrew a detent, allowing the works to strike the alarm. This idea was suggested to him on March 17, 1836, while reading Mrs. Mary Somerville's 'Connexion of the Physical Sciences, in travelling from Heidelberg to Frankfort.
Besides, I had made several sad blunders in the glow of eloquent declamation; but he had never interrupted me, to notice and correct them, as he would have done had he been versed in the theme. "Now, it is really a great pity," resumed I, "that he should have the entire management of Miss Somerville's education.
It's our own fault, we have done it ourselves. There's no persuading her that it's a libel." "Won't she see a few of us judge for herself? There's Porson why Porson might have been a bishop. Or Somerville Somerville's Oxford accent is wasted here. It has no chance." "It isn't only that," explained Joey; "she has ambitions, social ambitions.
From the depression, however, which naturally followed he would probably soon have rallied had not Harry Somerville's wound in the shoulder taken an unfavourable turn, and obliged him to remain for many weeks in bed, under the influence of a slow fever; so that Charley felt a desolation creeping over his soul that no effort he was capable of making could shake off.
Old wheat and beans blazing for twenty miles round; cart mares shot; sows of Lord Somerville's breed running wild over the country; the minister of the parish wounded sorely in his hinder parts; Mrs. Plymley in fits.
To-night will see the shale-slide conquered definitely, I hope, and three more days of good weather will send us into the Carbonate yards." She broke in upon him with a little cry of impatient despair. "That shows how unwary you have been! Tell me: is there not a little valley just above here an open place where your railroad and Uncle Somerville's run side by side?"
And after all, when the place where her hose and shoon had been left was reached, the niched shelf in the rock turned out to have been surrounded by the tide, so that they were quite unattainable either by herself or the little boys; and Felix, putting the arm by which Lance had held by him over Somerville's shoulder told them to go on before, and himself made two long strides and a scramble before he could reach the boots and stockings, and give them to the young lady, unable to help looking nearly as grave and vexed as if it had been Angela herself; indeed, he was vexed, for he had an ideal of the young ladyhood of his mother's old native region, and did not like it to be disturbed.
The girl blushed, her face gave way, and she burst into an agony of tears, without being able to answer one word. Yesterday we breakfasted at Mrs. Somerville's, and I put on for her a blue crape turban, to show her how Fanny's was put on, with which she had fallen in love. We dined at Mrs. Montague, Sir Joshua, Burke, and Dr. Johnson. Mrs.
Katherine and Harriet came back whilst Elizabeth and Helen were at luncheon, and after giving them a list of half the people who were at church, they called the children to come to Mr. Somerville's with them. 'Why do not you put on your bonnet, Dora? said Winifred. 'I am not going, said Dora. 'Why not? asked Winifred. 'Because I had rather not, was the answer.
