Visions of Oriental splendour and magnificence float across the imagination at the mere mention of the storied East.
While this idea of a specific for her malady endured travelling at speed to the ridges of the Italian frontier, across France she simply remembered Nevil: he was distant; he had no place in the storied landscape, among the images of Art and the names of patient great men who bear, as they bestow, an atmosphere other than earth's for those adoring them.
"Can you tell anything of the mental characteristics of the wearers of these skulls, Professor?" "Oh, yes," said the phrenologist, smiling. "The skull is an absolute index of the character, and, as long as it holds together, is a better monument than 'storied urn or animated bust' to those who have the skill to read it.
Nowhere in the world, it is said, are there so many new, comfortable homes built for the passing day as in America; but also in no civilized country are there so few old homes. More and more, as this fact comes to be realized, will Americans who care for the permanent and the storied appreciate such colonial homesteads as Brandon, the ancestral home of the Harrisons.
But the man never came again, and by and by the big girls said they believed I storied about it, and one night they came and dragged me out of bed and hung me out of the window by my wrists, till I thought my arms would be pulled right out of the sockets. They was awful cruel them girls. But when I axed the matron why the man didn't come no more, she put me off.
And I have yet to know anyone who has not some secret dream, some hope, however dim, some storied wall to look at in the dusk, some painted window leading to the soul.

Muckrakers, prying into the storied past, have destroyed one after another many of the pet characters in history. Thanks to their meddlesome activities we know that Paul Revere did not take any midnight ride. On the night in question he was laid up in bed with inflammatory rheumatism. What happened was that he told the news to Mrs.
Malise Grey was an artist of great but peculiar talent a fine draughtsman, an admirable colorist, but his imagination was of a Gothic cast, and he delighted in strange, fantastical, and supernatural subjects. He had travelled much in Germany, and his mind was imbued with the superstitions and legends of that storied land.
Not only did he wear a silk sash, and silk stockings, and a broad lace collar, with his little black velvet suit: he had long brown curls, and often came home with burrs in them. The storied boy's famous "Lean on me, grandfather," would have been difficult to imagine upon the lips of Georgie.
