He's held up four men in the last twenty-four hours and told them that he'll be at Tully's tomorrow and will expect Dan there!" "It isn't possible!" cried Kate. "That means that Silent is giving himself up to the law!" Buck laughed bitterly. "The law will not put a hand on them if it thinks that they'll fight it out together," he said.
Dad," said Kate. "It hasn't come yet! Buck, what has happened?" "The end of the world has come for Dan," he said. "That devil Silent " "Dan," cried old Joe, and rushed around the table to Buck. "Silent has dared Dan to meet him at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Tully's saloon in Elkhead!
To Binfield Pope was called by his father when he was about twelve years old, and there he had for a few months the assistance of one Deane, another priest, of whom he learned only to construe a little of "Tully's Offices." How Mr. Deane could spend with a boy who had translated so much of "Ovid" some months over a small part of "Tully's Offices," it is now vain to inquire.
I believe that our conceptions of it are really very vague and various. Our great-grandfathers who read 'Tully's Offices and Ends' were better informed than we. But there are many large and apparently simple questions about which, even after reading Cicero's philosophical translations, scholars probably feel quite uncertain.
Every hour furnishes some confirmation of Tully's precept.
"I will read the next passage, however," said Sir John, "that I may be better able to controvert your criticism: Look then abroad through nature to the range Of planets, suns, and adamantine spheres, Wheeling unshaken through the void immense, And speak, oh man! does the capacious scene With half that kindling majesty dilate Thy strong conception, as when Brutus rose Refulgent from the stroke of Cæsar's fate Amid the crowd of patriots, and his arm Aloft extending, like eternal Jove When guilt brings down the thunder, call'd aloud On Tully's name, and shook his crimson steel, And bade the father of his country hail; For lo! the tyrant prostrate in the dust, And Rome again is free?
Sometimes, by means of reflection, we are led to compound with our duty, and we conclude, by substituting a jargon of words, in the room of things. Our own conscience is the most enlightened philosopher. There is no need of being acquainted with Tully's offices, to make a man of probity: and perhaps the most virtuous woman in the world is the least acquainted with the definition of virtue.
Whereas nothing is more certain than that flat and dull fellows in the judgment of all such as used to keep company with them before, upon election into our house, have immediately chitted like barley in the vat, where it acquires a new spirit, and flowed forth into language, that I am as confident as I am here, if there were not such as delight to abuse us, is far better than Tully's; or, let anybody but translate one of his orations, and speak it in the house, and see if everybody do not laugh at him.
Most of the formulae bear special titles, apparently to lend the weight of a famous name to the virtues of the prescription itself, something as in these modern days we speak of "Coxe's Hive Syrup," "Dover's Powder," "Tully's Powder," etc.
Beshrew me if I have spoken more than a dozen words today, and that, to a man of my sociable temper, not to speak of my swift and practised tongue lingua celer et exercitata: you remember the phrase of Tully's is a sore trial." "You seemed to be having a conversation a moment ago," said Desmond. "Seemed! that is the very word. That excellent farmer sure he hath a prosperous look had mistaken me.
