She's neither sick nor sorry, but how dull and dreary she is, only herself can tell. When I get there in the morning, there she is sitting up in bed, for my lady don't care to get up; and then she makes me bring this book and that book, till the bed is heaped up with immense volumes that half bury her, making her look, as she leans upon her elbow, like the stoning of Stephen.
When Melancthon, on seeing him, began to cry bitterly, he reminded him of a saying of their friend, the hereditary marshal, Hans Loser, that to drink good beer was no art, but to drink sour beer, and then continued, in the words of Job, 'What, shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? And again: 'The wicked Jews, he said, 'stoned Stephen; my stone, the villain! is stoning me. But not for an instant did he lose his trust in God and resignation to His will.
The "sardonic smile" and "sardonic laughter" have been supposed by some learned men to refer to the smiles of the ancient Sardinians when stoning their aged parents. But they have no more to do with Sardinians than they have with sardines or sardonyx. The word "sardonic" is related to a Greek word which means "to snarl," and a sardonic grin is merely a snarl.
This he uttered with so much spirit and boldness that he filled his assailants with a terrible fear, and as much for this reason as at the persuasion of the landlord they left off stoning him, and he allowed them to carry off the wounded, and with the same calmness and composure as before resumed the watch over his armour.
They hated him so much that they themselves began the stoning; but no doubt the mob, which is always cruel, because it needs strong excitement, lent willing hands. Did Paul remember Stephen, as the stones came whizzing on him? It is an added touch of brutality that they dragged the supposed corpse out of the city, with no gentle hands, we may be sure.
As he did it she related gleefully the stoning of their enemy. When she had done, he said warmly: "It was ripping. But the nuisance is: he doesn't know it was you who did it, and so it's rather wasted." "Don't you worry: I'll let him know sometime to-morrow," said Erebus firmly. "Yes; but he's awfully waxy: suppose he prosecutes you?" said the Terror doubtfully.
In five the temple cleansing, at the Tabernacles Feast, the first and second attempt at stoning, and the kingly entry into the city the human will is stubbornly aggressively antagonistic to Jesus, but is absolutely restrained from what it is fully set upon doing. In the other seven incidents the power is miraculous or supernatural.
The subjects of the cartoons in the seven which have been saved, are 'The Death of Ananias, 'Elymas the Sorcerer struck with Blindness, 'The Healing of the Lame Man at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, 'The Miraculous Draught of Fishes, 'Paul and Barnabas at Lystra, 'St Paul Preaching at Athens, and 'The Charge to St Peter. The four cartoons which are lost, were 'The Stoning of St Stephen, 'The Conversion of St Paul, 'Paul in Prison, and 'The Coronation of the Virgin.
I nursed a wound on my hip bone for weeks, which was very painful and was caused by a boy hitting me with a sharp stone. What satisfaction can it be to them? Harming a defenseless animal can surely give none, but it always seems a great temptation to them to do so. Once I saw a group of small boys stoning a kitten which they had tied to a raft. I was glad when a big policeman caught them at it.
"I guess you were kind of favored," Deborah repeated, and a half-smile came over her grim face. Rebecca said nothing. She got some butter, and fell to work with a wooden spoon, creaming the butter and sugar in a brown wooden bowl with swift turns of her strong white wrist. Ephraim watched her sharply; he sat by a window stoning raisins.
