Brownlees said it certainly was fierce! and the other listeners on the phone, for the audience had been augmented as the conversation proceeded, politely said nothing, but hung up their receivers with haste, and acquainted the members of their household with the disquieting news. Mrs. Switzer threw her apron over her head and ran out to the pump, where Bill was watering his three-horse team.
This time there was no upset, and the two sleds went down close together. Then something new developed. Mr. Switzer spoke truly when he said he had been used to steering bobs in Germany. He knew just how to do it to get the best results, and take advantage of every favorable spot on the hill.
More genial than Zwingli, trained to implicit obedience in the monastery, in earlier life a hard student of the church-fathers; whilst the Switzer in those years, when the most vivid and lasting impressions are made, had devoted his attention to the history of the ancient republics, the study of Roman and Grecian authors; Luther, although he publicly and resolutely condemned the severity and arbitrary conduct of princes, and warned them with boldness and power, was yet far more inclined to the doctrine of passive resistance against evil, the disarming of the enemy by innocent suffering, submission to every existing form of government, even though unjust and tyrannical a doctrine which lies in the spirit of the Gospel, and was not only preached but practised by Christ himself, and confirmed by his own example.
You find, in the first place, that the nations which possessed a refined art were always subdued by those who possessed none: you find the Lydian subdued by the Mede; the Athenian by the Spartan; the Greek by the Roman; the Roman by the Goth; the Burgundian by the Switzer: but you find, beyond this that even where no attack by any external power has accelerated the catastrophe of the state, the period in which any given people reach their highest power in art is precisely that in which they appear to sign the warrant of their own ruin; and that, from the moment in which a perfect statue appears in Florence, a perfect picture in Venice, or a perfect fresco in Rome, from that hour forward, probity, industry, and courage seem to be exiled from their walls, and they perish in a sculpturesque paralysis, or a many-coloured corruption.
The cave man idea?" "No, no. Surely you see the difference?" "Pity my ignorance and elucidate the mystery." "Mystery? Nonsense. It is quite simple. It is a mere matter of emphasis." "Oh, I see," said Larry, "or at least I don't see. But credit me with the earnest and humble desire to understand." "Well," said his sister, "the one " "Which one?" "Switzer. He is mad to possess her for his very own.
That saves you, but if you say any such words again in regard to England or Englishmen, I shall have to punish you." "Punish me!" shouted the German. "Gott in Himmel, that I must bear this!" "They are going to fight," said Nora in an awed and horrified voice. "Oh, Larry, do go over." "He-l-l-o," cried Larry across the water. "That you, Switzer? Who is that with you?
In making the home she learns to love it, and this feeling seems to be often strongest when the surroundings are the bleakest, the rudest, and the most comfortless. The Highlander and the Switzer pine amid the luxuriant scenes of tropical life, when their thoughts revert to the smoky shieling or to the rock-encompassed chalet of their far-off mountains.
One day, therefore, breakfast despatched, I shouldered my lovely Switzer, and struck off at random across the open. Woodland was not far to seek, and before I had been away an hour I was in the heart of a dense jungle. Ordinary deer and "such-like" I might have shot at will, but I happened to be in an exclusive mood of mind, and was determined to drop a blue-cow, if anything.
Switzer has to use 'em in this play. I forgot to tell you." "Have 'em for you right away!" cried the property man, and a little later Mr. Switzer had his "babers." "I guess we're all right now. Start up, Russ," ordered the stage director, who was also the manager of the troupe. "That was a mistake on the part of Mr.
"They'll have a real quarrel, and both quit, and that'll mean some new members in the company. And just as we are about through rehearsing that piece, and about to film it, too. That means I'll have to do it all over again. I knew something would happen!" "Oh, cheer up! The worst is yet to come!" laughed Paul Ardite. "Here's Switzer looking as red as a lobster. What is it now, Carl?" he asked.
