"Alas, Miss Burton," said Van Berg; "the best philosophy I have is this: when it rains, let it rain." "And thus I'm privileged to meet representatives of those two ancient and honorable schools, the Stoic and Epicurean, and you both think, I fear, that if Xanthippe had founded a school, my philosophy would also be defined.
I much prefer the young carpenter, yet father says a marriage with the literary man would give me the social position he fancies I would enjoy. Now, what am I to do? What would you do, if you were I? Yours in trouble, PRISCILLA. Listen, gentle maiden, and ye others of her sex, to the story of Xanthippe, the Athenian woman.
"My husband propose anything that would contribute to my pleasure or intellectual advancement? Bah! Your story is transparently false at the outset." "Nevertheless," said Kidd, "the scheme was proposed by Socrates. He said a trip of that kind for Xanthippe would be very restful and health-giving." "For me?" cried Xanthippe, sceptically. "No, madame, for him," retorted Kidd. "Ah ho-ho!
Yocomb heartily, "come in and make this man eat, and scold him soundly for going so far away as to get lost when he's scarcely able to walk at all. I've kind of promised I wouldn't scold him, and somebody must." "I'd scold like Xanthippe if I thought it would do any good," she said, with a faint smile; but her eyes were full of reproach. For a moment Mrs.
When, with a resounding slam, the door to the upper deck of the House-boat was shut in the faces of queens Elizabeth and Cleopatra by the unmannerly Kidd, these ladies turned and gazed at those who thronged the stairs behind them in blank amazement, and the heart of Xanthippe, had one chosen to gaze through that diaphanous person's ribs, could have been seen to beat angrily.

You and your books miss this, because your books are too sedate. Read poetry not only Shelley. Understand Beatrice, and Clara Middleton, and Brunhilde in the first scene of Gotterdammerung. Understand Goethe when he says "the eternal feminine leads us on," and don't write another English Essay. Yours ever affectionately, Cambridge Dear Rickie: What am I to say? "Understand Xanthippe, and Mrs.

"You haven't even made a monocle of yourself." And here we both laughed, and the ice was broken. "What has become of Boswell?" I asked.

"In the first place, I do not see where the pleasure of it comes in, and, in the second, it seems to me as if skirts must be dangerous. If they should catch in one of the pedals, where would I be?" "In the hospital shortly, methinks," said Queen Elizabeth. "Well, I shouldn't wear skirts," snapped Xanthippe.
What do you think I thought about when I was whirling round that pool, before I didn't think of anything?" "Your sins, I suppose. That's what I've heard comes to a drowning man." "Shucks!
