"If we 'have our own institutions, that ain't no reason why people should come 'ere and stare at us, his it?" The dropped "h" betrayed her. "And when did you leave England?" I said. "Summer of '84. I am Dorset," she said. "The Mormon agent was very good to us, and we was very poor. Now we're better off my father, an' mother, an' me." "Then you like the State?" She misunderstood at first.
The chief feature of novelty of this pile-driving machine consists in the employment of the direct action of the Steam Hammer as the blow giving agent, and also in the manner in which the dead weight of the entire apparatus, consisting of the hammer-block C, the steam cylinder A, and its guide-case B, is employed to importantly aid the effect of the rapid and energetic blows of the steam hammer.
Vanbrugh's dinner, and all things else, in making a few charitable arrangements, which resulted in a comfortable tea for little Christal and "ma mie." Sleep had again overpowered the sick woman, who appeared to be slowly dying of that anomalous disease called decline, in which the mind is the chief agent of the body's decay.
You're not capable of looking after a lady! I would have kicked Durnovo through that very window myself, only" he paused, recalling himself with a little laugh "only it was not my business." Maurice Gordon sat down forlornly. He tapped his boot with his cane. "Oh, it's very well for you," he answered; "but I'm not a free agent. I can't afford to make an enemy of Durnovo."
Indeed, his long life among the simple fisher folk of Stromness, and his business connection with ships for the bailie was a shipping agent had given him a sympathy with all persons connected with the sea which quite overrode his dignity as a magistrate.
"Bishop that art, Archbishop that shalt be, Cardinal that mayest be," were the words that sounded continually in his ear; and doubtless a whisper of visions still higher, of a triple crown, and feet upon the necks of kings, sometimes stole into his heart. M. Michelet is anxious to keep us in mind that this bishop was but an agent of the English. True.
It is usual for a resident landlord to have an agent too, but he is subject to the personal observation, and under the immediate control of the landlord, who can be easily appealed to, if a misunderstanding should arise between him and any tenant. It is always a great satisfaction to the weaker party to have an opportunity of going, as they say, to the "fountain-head."
On the other hand Foxe's authority was Cranmer, who was likely to know the truth: and it is not impossible that, in the critical state of Italian politics, the English government might have desired to have some confidential agent in the Duke of Bourbon's camp.
If this be so, the doctrine of a necessary holiness must be admitted; for surely nothing can be more necessary to us, nothing can take place in which we have less to do, than the act by which we are created. This then is the question which we intend to examine: whether that which is concreated with a moral agent, can be his virtue or his vice?
Nor would my opinion be changed by assuming, what the report does not make perfectly clear, that the defendant received the safe as bailee, and not as servant or agent, and that his permission to use the safe was general. The argument of the court goes on the plaintiff's not being a finder. The question is whether he need be.
