To "look babies in the eyes" was a common expression for peering amorously into the eyes. Sc. fagot. A common form of expression. Everybody remembers Puck's "I'll put a girdle round about the earth In forty minutes." Cf. Chapman's Bussy D'Ambois, I. 1. "In tall ships, richly built and ribd with brasse, To put a Girdle round about the world."
Hardly had I pronounced these words than I was interrupted by a murmur of voices, so strongly had the public been influenced by the Cat-Chronicle and by Puck's friends. "She questions the justice of old England which has created the jury!" cried some one.
But she did not betray herself. "Perhaps he may," she said, and then gave the pony a little touch with her whip. "Oh, Lucy, I won't have Puck beaten. He was going very nicely." "I beg Puck's pardon. But you see when one is trusted with a whip one feels such a longing to use it." "Oh, but you should keep it still. I feel almost certain that Lady Lufton would like such a match."
But Merryon neither listened nor cared. He had turned Puck's deathly face upwards, and was covering it with burning, passionate kisses, drawing her back to life, as it were, by the fiery intensity of his worship. She came to life, weakly gasping. She opened her eyes upon him with the old, unwavering adoration in their depths. And then before his burning look hers sank.
My private opinion is that the malice of Puck's mendacity is equalled only by its awkwardness. It is possible that its editor mistakes falsehood for fun. Or he may have heard somewhere the statement he parrots and really supposed it true, for a man capable of conducting so jejune a journal might easily believe anything.
A tumble over a root as a portion of the system of the universe Mignon and the gypsy from Lorca, in connection with General Palafox A Paradise opened at Countess Walther Puck's. "No!" said Ludwig to his friend Euchar, "no!
Men, he averred, would always insist on assuming that their laws were right at all times, and, furthermore, were always applicable to dogs, forgetting that, more often even than themselves, dogs were moved by laws imperious. Had he been as the majority of dogs, he would, when such thoughts occupied his brain, have joined no doubt unhesitatingly in Puck's song "Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
The men worked hard that last day of the cable laying, and by 11 P.M. the President of the United States sent a message to Governor Taft at Manila. Soon after was the old prophecy fulfilled, when President Roosevelt, no doubt with Puck at his elbow, sent a message round the world in twenty minutes, thus bettering Puck's idea by half. The saddest year in California's records is that of 1906.
Three or four other rabbits, too, impressed with the beauty of the afternoon and the advantages of the situation, now followed their comrade's example, coming out from their burrows and squatting on the turf of the sloping glade in a semicircle opposite the children; while, the more poor Puck tried to express his indignation at their free-and- easiness, the more nonchalantly they regarded him, sitting up comfortably and combing away, enjoying themselves as thoroughly as if there was no such thing as a dog in existence, Puck's faint coughing bark being utterly thrown away upon them.
Its leading themes are the horn solo, which forms the symphony of Sir Huon's vision, a short movement from the fairies' chorus, a martial strain from the last scene in the court of Charlemagne, a passage from Reiza's scene in the second act, and Puck's invocation of the spirits.
