I remember how good and happy I felt when these two leading statesmen told of when grim visaged war would smooth her wrinkled front, and when the dark clouds that had so long lowered o'er our own loved South would be in the deep bosom of the ocean buried. I do not know how others felt, but I can say never before or since did I feel so grand.
He fully recognized also that the ordeal for himself would be a terrible one that it would be the fable of Tantalus repeated for weeks, months, perhaps for years, or for life. The unfulfilled promise of happiness would ever be before him. His dark- visaged rivals, Grief and Death, would jeer and mock at him from a face of perfect beauty.

"'Oh my dear Mr Bullfrog, replied my wife sweetly, 'I thought all the world knew that! "'Horror! horror! exclaimed I, sinking back on the seat.
Thereafter Arnold left the work of his office to Jack and gave his time to the enjoyment of the company of his wife and a leisure that suffered little interruption. For him, grim visaged war had smoothed his wrinkled front. Like Richard he had hung up his bruised arms. The day of Washington's departure, Mrs. Arnold invited Jack to dinner.
"If she had been a duchess a very exquisite person, or somebody very clever remember I haven't seen her." "You haven't, so I must forgive you invidious comparisons."

So," adds the sable-gowned, ashen- visaged, funereal old figure, "Edward Fane remembers his Rosebud!" Our question is answered. There is a germ of bliss within her. Her long-hoarded constancy her memory of the bliss that was remaining amid the gloom of her after life, like a sweet-smelling flower in a coffin, is a symbol that all maybe renewed.
He indicated Adams with a half laugh, and Dr. Duthil, turning in his chair, regarded anew the colossus from the States. The great, large-hewn, cast-iron visaged Adams, beside whom Thénard looked like a shrivelled monkey and Duthil like a big baby with a beard. "Good," said Duthil. "A better man than Bauchardy," said Thénard. "Much," replied Duthil.

"That's as God pleases," said the Scotchman, a sturdy, grave- visaged man. "Ilka bullet has its billet; an' gin we're to coom back, back we'll coom, though it rained bullets all the way."
