Fore and aft sails, like the spanker, the fore and main spencers, or the mainsail of a schooner, are reefed at the foot, the lower part being tied down to the boom. The topsails of the Young America had three reef bands, or strips of canvas sewed crosswise over them, in which were the reef points, or strings by which the sail is tied up when reefed.
Once more, the fluttering Spencers urge the goad, Bend o'er their saddles, lift them, light their load Just at the goal one spur and it is done! The rowel'd Red starts forward, and has won!" After this exploit, the red, green, and yellow liveries could have done what they would with the uninitiated Romans.
"Yours truly, "R. B." "P. S. I shall keep a constant eye on the Spencers. "Burn this immediately." After he had written and sealed this letter, Mr. Beaufort went to bed and slept soundly. And the next day that place was desolate, and the board on the lawn announced that it was again to be let.
And if you laughed at her Mahatmas, she was capable of indulging in expletives that would strike envy into the soul of a trooper. How curious it is, if these Mahatmas are real personages, that they do not communicate with our Masters of Wisdom. Why do they neglect our Spencers and Huxleys? Why do they choose to speak through a woman like Madame Blavatsky, or a popular lecturess like Mrs. Besant?
An American Virgin would never dare command; an American Venus would never dare exist. The question, which to any plain American of the nineteenth century seemed as remote as it did to Adams, drew him almost violently to study, once it was posed; and on this point Langleys were as useless as though they were Herbert Spencers or dynamos. The idea survived only as art.
The King had an indifferent night, but still feels better. I only met Lord Bathurst, who told me so. He had not seen the private letter. Had a long conversation with Lady C. Wood at Lord Camden's about the Clarences. It seems there has been a great deal of hope excited in the Spencers.
To his great disgust, his appeals were unheeded, and he turned to me saying we would go alone. But now we saw some of the Bucktails coming forward, and soon about twenty of us were deployed at skirmish distance, advancing on the rebel rear. Their line could be seen stretching far to right and left. Our Spencers rattled among the trees as we rained the bullets upon them.
The next morning, before breakfast, half of Lost Chief had called the Spencers on the telephone to tell them that Little Marion had a daughter. The dominant note in the reports was one of huge laughter. Judith was serene, and so was John. But the serenity was not to last. When she went out to the corral to look after Sioux she came back stormily.
With what a confusion of merchandise are the boats laden, and how gay is the coloring, between the old weedy posts to which they are moored! It was from hence that Isabella of France, with Sir John de Hainault and many other faithful knights set on their expedition against Edward II. and the government of the Spencers.
When the Old Lady happened to go into her spare room that evening, she saw from it a light shining through a gap in the trees on the hill. She knew that it shone from the Spencers' spare room. So it was Sylvia's light.
