VILLEMANDY, "Scepticismus Debellatus," III. His words are remarkable: "Passim haec, aliaque generis ejusdem, placita disseminantur, neque verum neque bonum, qualia sunt in seipsis, posse dignosci; hinc que adeo sectandam esse duntaxat cum veri, tum boni, similitudinem: quæ si stent ac valeant, illud omne erit verum, illud omne æquum, illud omne pium et religiosum, illud omne utile, quod cuiquam tale videatur; privatam cujusque conscientiam supremam esse agendorum, vel non agendorum, normam."
Edelweiss adorned his green felt hat; a green tin box punched full of holes was slung from his broad shoulders. Brown, lowering his rifle cautiously, was already getting to his feet from the trampled bracken, when, behind him, he heard Stent’s astonished voice break forth in pedantic German: "Siurd! Is it thou then?" "Harry Stent!" returned the dark, nice-looking young fellow amiably.
There was an odd look in Siurd’s soft brown eyes; he turned and spoke to Herr Professor von Dresslin, using dialect and instantly appearing to recollect himself he asked pardon of Stent and Brown in his very perfect English. "I said to the Herr Professor in the Traun dialect: ’Ibex may be stirring, as it is already late afternoon.
When Dame Clementina had finished churning, she went into the cottage. As she stepped through the little door with clumps of sweet peas on each side, she looked up. There was the sprig of dill, and the magic verse she had written under it. Nan was sitting at the window inside, knitting her stent on a blue stocking.
"You should have gone before I ever knew you if I was to be spared my peace of mind." Gray came galloping back through the woods, followed by his father and Eudo Stent.
Fields I've no doubt now that Mrs. Fields " "Will you go?" Doctor Churchill turned to Mrs. Fields. She glanced up into his laughing eyes. "Run along and don't bother me," she said to him. "Take that child there. She's about got her stent done, I guess." Doctor Churchill looked at the curly black head bent closely over the last of the little sleeves.
Going to the edge of the pit, I found it occupied by a group of about half a dozen men Henderson, Ogilvy, and a tall, fair-haired man that I afterwards learned was Stent, the Astronomer Royal, with several workmen wielding spades and pickaxes. Stent was giving directions in a clear, high-pitched voice.
"Better make a note or two," said Stent briefly. They unslung their rifles, seated themselves in the warm sun amid a deep thicket of alpine roses, and remained silent and busy with pencil and paper for a while two inconspicuous, brownish-grey figures, cuddled close among the greyish rocks, with nothing of military insignia about their dress or their round grey wool caps to differentiate them from sportsmen wary stalkers of chamois or red deer except that under their unbelted tunics automatics and cartridge belts made perceptible bunches.
"I fear I do not remember, dear," said Camilla, whose past had been for years a peaceful monotone as to her own emotions, and had so established a similar monotone of memory. "Don't you remember, Aunt Camilla? I came first with a stent to knit on a garter, and we sat out here. Then the yellow cats came, and father had been fishing, and he brought some speckled trout, and then the Edwards boy "
It was the same when he played the bass viol, but that was also a kind of fishing at which he tried his luck in a roaring torrent of sound. Both forms of dissipation gave him a serious look and manner, that came near severity. They brought on his face only the light of hope and anticipation or the shadow of disappointment. We had finished our stent early the day of which lam writing.
