At this moment, tired out with play, her noble boy, the younger Walter, lay in his cradle at her foot; and the sweet girl, with her father's dark eyes, lay on the mother's bosom, while she sang softly this cradle song, to lull them to sleep: "Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, Smiles awake when you do rise; Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, And I will sing a lullaby; Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
On the eastern front of the plaza, the pride of San Francisco towers up: the El Dorado. Here every glory of the Adelphi, Arcade, and Bella Union is eclipsed. The unrivalled splendor of rooms, rich decorations, and unexcelled beauty of pictures excite all. The rare liveliness of the attendant wantons marks them as the fairest daughters of Beelzebub.
To think of him and Hetty together makes my flesh creep!" "Would you rather, then, see her " But at sound of a sobbing cry from her, he checked the terrible question. "You are trying to unnerve me. 'Who is he? you ask. That is just what I am going to find out." At the door he turned. "We have other children to think of, pray you remember. I will harbour no wantons in my house."
She played the part of the wife of a military officer, and displayed therein a marvellous, a terrifying vitality of tongue, leg, and arm. The young men in white flannels surrounded her, and she could flirt with all of them; she was on intimate terms with the red-nosed comedian, and also with the trio of delightful wantons, and her ideals in life seemed to be identical with theirs.
'Let us eat and drink, they said, 'for the gods of the sea are upon us and to-morrow we die. Now women who had been held virtuous proved themselves wantons, and men whose names were honest showed themselves knaves, and none cried fie upon them; ay, even children were seen drunken in the streets, which is an abomination among the Aztecs.
And strange to think, she could have flowed away at once on the stuff that Danvers delighted to read! wicked princes, rogue noblemen, titled wantons, daisy and lily innocents, traitorous marriages, murders, a gallows dangling a corpse dotted by a moon, and a woman bowed beneath.
The sword hung over his defenceless head! too busy for the gad-fly life of the clubs a strong, lonely swimmer in the tide of New York life, he was as yet a comparative stranger to Folly and her motley crew of merry wantons in gay Gotham.
Wretched enough in truth, and they have no more care to pasture. Battus. Nothing is left, now, of that heifer, look you, bones, that's all. She does not live on dewdrops, does she, like the grasshopper? Corydon. No, by Earth, for sometimes I take her to graze by the banks of Aesarus, fair handfuls of fresh grass I give her too, and otherwhiles she wantons in the deep shade round Latymnus. Battus.
For mewing of her up, I found her a shelter, in all honour and safety, under the roof of an honest countryman of my own and for secrecy, it was a point of prudence, when wantons like you were abroad, Master Lowestoffe."
We are living in a coarse, brutal age; chivalry was the creed of civilization, the knights the priesthood of the higher life." "There's the Southerner through and through in that sentimentality. To me chivalry means all that is narrow, cruel, and rapacious in man. The philandering knights were sensual boobies, the simpering dames soulless wantons.
