On going back to the little drawing-room after dinner we found Mrs. Tener among her flowers, busy with some literary work. It is not a gay life here, she admits, her nearest visiting acquaintance living some seven or eight miles away but she takes long walks with a couple of stalwart dogs in her company, and has little fear of being molested.
Counts and lords are with him, and the whole force of the land of Exmes. They hold their councils in the castle of Exmes; they did what they could against the tyrant; but he was too strong for them. He defeated the Duke in battle, and got possession of the castle of Exmes. Meanwhile Abbess Emma and her Sisterhood had to go whither they could. "Tener virginum conventus misere dispersus est."
Tener, "but they shall not be anything beyond the strict necessary costs." "And if we come back would we be protected?" "Of course you will have protection. But why do you want protection? Here you are, a couple of strong grown men, with men-folk of your families. See here! why don't you go to such an one, and such an one," naming other tenants; "you know them well.
Tener writes to me, "I found it being gutted by his family, who would have carried it away piecemeal. They had already taken away the flooring of one of the rooms." Thereupon Mr. Tener had the house pulled down, with the result of seeing a statement made in a leading Nationalist paper that he was "evicting the tenants and pulling down their houses." "Yesterday," Mr.
There has been a story in the school I got it from one of the little girls that I was disapointed in love in early youth, the object of my atachment having been the Tener in our Church choir at home.

And as early rising is not a popular virtue here, he resolved to steal a march on the defenders of Cloondadauv. He had brought up certain large boats to Portumna, and put them on the lake.
"I mean good for some people and not others." "So-so. Your madre, Gabriela, may probably kill me for saying it but I think you're right. I mean you need kid school and teenager school. Nobody should to be a dummy but some maybe they find that special thing not in classes. You go to bed soon?" "Pronto." "Pronto. Excelente. Necesitas dormir las horas bastante para tener un dia grande por la manana.
"But understand, you must pay down a year's rent and the costs you have put us to." "Ah! sure you wouldn't have us to pay the costs?" "But indeed I will," responded Mr. Tener; "you mustn't for a moment suppose I will have any question about that.
Tener took the money, counted the notes twice over, and then, writing out a receipt, handed it to the tenant. "All right, Pat, there's your receipt for thirty-nine pounds, and I'm glad to see ten-pound notes going about the country in these hard times!" By mistake the "distressful" orator had put one ten-pound note into his parcel! He took his receipt, and went off without a word.
Who thinks of beginning Russian by studying the "aspects" of the verbs, or by committing to memory the 28 paradigms which German grammarians have devised on the analogy of Latin declensions? Auxiliary verbs are the pedagogue's delight, but who begins Spanish by trying to discriminate between tener and haber, or ser and estar, or who learns tables of exceptions to improve his French?
