You rush ahead, and explore the future; you are impatient, and gulp down present happiness in long draughts, instead of tasting it drop by drop. But Baby's illness suffices to restore you to reason. To realize the strength of the ties that bind you to him, it is necessary to have feared to see them broken; to know that a river is deep, you must have been on the point of drowning in it.
"How can I?" he replied. "It is like trying to sum infinity! The most I can do is to hint and rhapsodize." "Hint away, then!" cried Parry; "rhapsodize away! we're all listening."

She is just tasting the something that smells so good, with a spoon. When she sees the big man in the door she tastes so quickly that she burns her tongue! But she can use it just the same even if it is burned. She runs to the big man and says, "And is that yourself, now, Larry darling? Sure, I'm that glad to see you, I've scalded myself with the soup!"
Out of doors a silence reigned. A steady, cold wind, tasting already of snow, was blowing. The streets were almost deserted.

I was now ready to depart; and on my way to the boat, found my two old female companions watching, lest I should pass, and they might miss my company on the way.
It is in these sensitive papillæ that the ramifications of the gustatory or tasting nerves terminate. When fluids are taken into the mouth, and especially those whose taste is pungent, these papillæ dilate and erect themselves, and the particular sensation produced is transmitted to the brain through the medium of the minute filaments of the gustatory nerves.

She felt braced up on rising from the table, and, but for the illness of Ella, would have felt an unusual degree of cheerfulness. Henry attended the common school of the district, and, soon after breakfast, prepared himself to go.
And when they had the response from us, they came quickly, and having stood awhile to look, hearing the noisy clamor of the sailor crowd, sent the Queen with her damsels in a very light barge to stay on a little island distant from us a quarter of a league; himself remaining a very long time, discoursing by signs and gestures of various fanciful ideas, examining all the equipments of the ship, asking especially their purpose, imitating our manners, tasting our foods, then parted from us benignantly.
