But when we have to consider the case of a man born not only as an accomplished metabolist, but with such an aptitude for shorthand and keyboard manipulation that he is a stenographer or pianist at least five sixths ready-made as soon as he can control his hands intelligently, we are forced to suspect either that keyboards and shorthand are older inventions than we suppose, or else that acquirements can be assimilated and stored as congenital qualifications in a shorter time than we think; so that, as between Lyell and Archbishop Ussher, the laugh may not be with Lyell quite so uproariously as it seemed fifty years ago.
He soon began to exhort his fellow-journeymen instead of minding his work, so uproariously that his employer turned him away. He discovered a text in the Bible that forbid Christians to shave.
His Majesty turned at the noise that M. Decres made in falling, and leaning over the side of the boat, exclaimed, "What! Is that our minister of the navy who has allowed himself to fall in the water? Is it possible it can be he?" The Emperor during this speech laughed most uproariously. Meanwhile, two or three sailors were engaged in getting M. Decres out of his embarrassing position.
Now Sahwah, with her riotous love of color, had bright red buttons on her black shoes, the only set like them in the school. Dick recognized the buttons and knew that it was Sahwah in the statue. He still thought she was playing a joke, and laughed uproariously. Sahwah grew desperate. She must make him understand that she wanted him to pull her out.
Then, looking at Anastasio he said: "Take him away. And ... if he wants to confess, bring the priest to him." Impassive as ever, Anastasio took the prisoner gently by the arm. "Come along this way, Tenderfoot." They all laughed uproariously, when a few minutes later, Quail appeared in priestly robes. "By God, this tenderfoot certainly talks his head off," Quail said.
The paradox was pictorially expressed in Christian art, in which saints were shown brandishing as weapons the very tools that had slain them. And because his martyrdom is thus a power to the martyr, modern people think that any one who makes himself slightly uncomfortable in public will immediately be uproariously popular.
But, come on; Byzantium is gorging its diamond-swathed girth yonder with salad and champagne; and I'm hungry, even if Kathleen isn't " "I am!" she exclaimed indignantly. "Scott, can't you find Naïda and Geraldine? Duane and I will keep a table until you return " "I'll find them," said Duane; and he walked off among the noisy, laughing groups, his progress greeted uproariously from table to table.
"Have you any notion, my dear Elizabeth," he asked, "why our friend Pritchard is so much in evidence just at present?" "Not on account of you, Jimmy," she answered, "nor of any one else here, in fact. The truth is he has conceived a violent admiration for me an admiration so pronounced, indeed, that he hates to let me out of his sight." They all laughed uproariously.
Clothe you in a wolfskin, give you a knife and a spear, and set you down in the woods of Grabritin of what service would your civilization be to you?" Delcarte and Taylor smiled at her reply, but Thirty-six and Snider laughed uproariously. I was not surprised at Thirty-six, but I thought that Snider laughed louder than the occasion warranted.
The three men walked unevenly, now and then laughing uproariously and slapping one another on the back. Presently one stepped upon a slippery cobble and went sprawling into the snow, to the great merriment of his companions, who had some difficulty in raising the fallen man to his feet. "Go along with you, Messieurs," said the Swiss enviously; "you are all drunk."
