And yet he was spared, while hundreds of millions, yea, billions, of better men were destroyed. "I went on with him to his camp, and there I saw her, Vesta, the one woman. It was glorious and... pitiful.
Life has passed the noon and the early afternoon for him and me, and I live to be respectable, to appreciate my security, to keep upstarts at arm's-length, to enjoy my life in its appointed circle, taking care of my income, and never no, never! giving any human being the opportunity to make me a beggar again." "Oh, mamma," Vesta said, "think of Judge Custis!
Vesta charged up to him as he shifted to keep in the line of their fire, coming as if she would ride him down and go on to make an end of that chapter of the long-growing feud. The Kerr girl waited, her pistol hand crossed on the other, with the deliberate coolness of one who had no fear of the outcome. Vesta waved him aside, her face white as ash, and attempted to dash by.
Vesta thought, "I think I see now one of those Puritans in my husband, of whom I have heard as sprinkled through Virginia. We are the Cavaliers. There is the Roundhead, even to the King James hat." As she was led onward in these probabilities, Vesta took up the demure old Hat and looked it over without any superstition, and reflected: "Do we not exaggerate trifles?
It is your fate, but you contend against it. Look upon it, then, as a duty, such as you expect in others in your slave maid, for instance." "Alas!" Vesta said, "she may marry freely. I am the slave."
"They can't fall down, 'count of the shafts," said Mr. Butters, clambering slowly down from his seat, "and they won't do nothin' else. We'll git him out now, jest as easy. I think a sight of that young feller; made me feel bad, I tell ye, to see him there all stove up, and think mebbe " "Don't, please!" said Vesta. "I am not very strong " "Thought you said you was!" said Ithuriel Butters.
If only she could hold him always! The details of getting Vesta established once adjusted, Jennie settled down into the routine of home life. Lester, busy about his multitudinous affairs, was in and out. He had a suite of rooms reserved for himself at the Grand Pacific, which was then the exclusive hotel of Chicago, and this was his ostensible residence.
Through the Trastevere walking last night, at nine of the clock, I Found no sort of disorder; I crossed by the Island-bridges, So by the narrow streets to the Ponte Rotto, and onwards Thence, by the Temple of Vesta, away to the great Coliseum, Which at the full of the moon is an object worthy a visit. Only think, dearest Louisa, what fearful scenes we have witnessed!
Only Ceres and Pallas had been discovered when he put forth his theory, but when Juno and Vesta were found they fell in with his predictions so well that the theory was generally regarded as being virtually established; while the fluctuations in the light of Vesta, as we have before remarked, led Olbers to assert that that body was of a fragmental shape, thus strongly supporting his explosion hypothesis.
The terra-cotta lamps which have been discovered in the grove may perhaps have served a like purpose for humbler persons. If so, the analogy of the custom to the Catholic practice of dedicating holy candles in churches would be obvious. Further, the title of Vesta borne by Diana at Nemi points clearly to the maintenance of a perpetual holy fire in her sanctuary.
