The three vows of chastity, poverty and obedience were adopted and became the foundation stones of the monastic institution, to be found in every monastic order. There is a typical illustration in Kingsley's Hypatia of what they meant by obedience. Philammon, a young monk, was consigned to the care of Cyril, the Bishop of Alexandria, and a factious, cruel man, with an imperious will.
I have little doubt that Kingsley's object in retaining the name Dietrich for the Ost-gothic king was much the same as Johannes von Muller's. You know, he meant to say, of Dietrich of Bern, of all the wonderful things told of him in the Nibelunge and other German poems.
On the minds of half the number of young men, it would have had the desired efiect of goading vanity, and provoking the self-esteem of the conceited boy into a sort of desperation, when the powers of sense and caution become mostly suspended, and no unnecessary suspicion or watchfulness then interferes to increase the difficulty of plucking the pigeon. I read the smile on Kingsley's lip.
It jest stuck out all over him, an' he shook his finger in Stewart's face. "'You was drunk last night? "Stewart never batted an eye. "'You met some woman on Number Eight, didn't you? shouted Hawe. "'I met a lady, replied Stewart, quiet an' menacin' like. "'You met Al Hammond's sister, an' you took her up to Kingsley's.
"Ah," said Kingsley, "I should like to see Forster in Parliament. He is not the man, however, to make head against the tracasseries of an election contest." Some other talk we had, and then he left me, coming back before long to conduct me to the drawing-room. Two gentlemen were there one a visitor who soon took leave; the other, the tutor to Mr. Kingsley's son. Mrs.
There is a charming, bewitching little picture of a babe sucking his thumb in Kingsley's Water Babies, which I heartily commend to your favourable notice and study. But if an infant be allowed to suck his thumb, will it not be likely to become a habit, and stick to him for years until, indeed, he become a big boy?
His intellectual conceit finds its vent in intellectual sauciness, and is all the worse from appearing to have its source in conceit of conscience and benevolence. In spite of these faults, however, Mr. Kingsley's reputation is not greater than he deserves.
The Council, however, thought there were grounds for reconsidering the decision, and to strengthen the case for admission, Kingsley's opinion was asked. He replied: "EVERSLEY, May 31, 1850.
I thought you would like to see our national game in a scene so perfectly well adapted to show it to advantage. Being in Mr. Kingsley's parish, and he very intimate with the owner, it is most likely, too, that he will be there; so that altogether it seemed to me something that you and dear Mr. and Mrs. Bennoch might like to see.
Between the blaze of illumination, the flashing of gilding and gold, the tropical flush of crimson velvet, the rainbow dyes on floor and walls, the intoxicating gushes of perfume, and the delicious strains of unseen music, it is no wonder Sir Norman Kingsley's head was spinning like a bewildered teetotum. Was he sane was he sleeping?
