I received neither 'pay, nor jewel of recognition, I had played 'for the honour' of appearing before their Majesties! but my bow was a wand to wake the little poisoned asp of despair that stings its way into the heart under every Royal mantle of ermine, and that sufficed me!" "Sometimes," said Leroy, turning towards him; "I pity kings!" "I' faith, so do I!" returned Valdor. "But only sometimes!

All of a sudden the dentist uttered an exclamation, clapping his hand to his nose, his face twisting sharply. "Mac, what is it?" cried Trina in alarm. "That champagne came to my nose," he cried, his eyes watering. "It stings like everything." "Great BEER, ain't ut?" shouted Marcus. "Now, Mark," remonstrated Trina in a low voice. "Now, Mark, you just shut up; that isn't funny any more.

The impulses of his wit were satirical; he was not dismayed by failure; the stage had entertained him and irritated him, and he made the stage the subject of his first triumph. "The Rosciad" was in every sense a triumph. Its stings galled the vanity of the players to frenzy.

It was difficult to believe that his subjection to opium could much longer resist the stings of his own conscience, and the solicitations of his friends, as well as the pecuniary destitution to which his opium habits had reduced him.

When cold it will be a jelly; of which give, dissolved in wine, milk, or broth, in change with other nourishment. GNATS. The stings of these troublesome insects are generally attended with a painful swelling.

Paul Lathrop sat up. "I'm in sympathy with anything that harasses, and bothers and stings the governing classes of this country!" he said, with an oratorical wave of his cigarette.
