Armer Teufel! Doth not thy cow calve, doth not thy bull gender? Thou thyself, wert thou not born, wilt thou not die?
"So do you remember that Pierre must have his bread and cheese; that the cows must calve undisturbed; that the pigs you have not seen the sow I had to-day from Harfleur? black as ebony and a snout like a rose-leaf! must be stied in comfort: and that these things may not be, without an alliance with Puysange. Besides, dear niece, it is something to be the wife of a great lord."
Dane had done wisely in sticking to his post. A sixty-horse-power Aigle might largely make up for a disappointment in the matter of treasure, even if she had to be towed down into the valley by a horse. "Calvé, and all the great singers, come here sometimes by moonlight in their motors," went on the guide, "after the great musical festival of Orange in the month of August.
The confusion can easily be made, and there will probably always be people who will prefer Mrs. Kendal to Miss Marlowe, as there are those who will think Mme. Melba a greater operatic singer than Mme. Calvé.
It's both gears this evening," said the Wheel, kicking joyously in the first rush of the icy stream. "There's a heavy load of grist just in from Lamber's Wood. Eleven miles it came in an hour and a half in our new motor-lorry, and the Miller's rigged five new five-candle lights in his cow-stables. I'm feeding 'em to-night. There's a cow due to calve.
"That's thrue; but there were three O'Malleys before you. Godfrey O'Malley, that construed Calve Neroni to Nero the Calvinist, ha! ha! ha! was cautioned in 1788." "My uncle, I believe, sir." "More than likely, from what I hear of you, Ex uno, etc. I see your name every day on the punishment roll. Late hours, never at chapel, seldom at morning lecture.
She is very remarkable, being black and white spotted; and, after close examination, I found that she was not with the herd; so I am sure that she went into the copse to calve, and that she has calved before this." "Well, that may be," replied Jacob; "but now I do not understand what we are to do." "Nor I," replied Edward. "Well, then, I'll tell you what I hope to do.
Her performances at the Manhattan Opera House in 1906-7 were memorable, vocally superb. Her Carmen was out of drawing dramatically, but her Anita and her Santuzza remained triumphs of stage craft. Emma Eames, born August 13, 1867, is three years younger than Mme. Calvé. She made her début as Juliette, March 13, 1889.
"We're always havin' 'em. Any music?" "No, no, nothing. There are endless dinners that night, and Mrs. Crutchby's concert with Calve, and the ball. People will only run in and say something silly and run out again." "Who's comin'?" "Everybody. All the tiresome dears that have had their cards left."
Over the door in the inside, over the beds, and over the cattle in the outhouses, were placed branches of withered palm, that had been consecrated by the priest on Palm Sunday; and when the cows happened to calve, this good woman tied, with her own hands, a woollen thread about their tails, to prevent them from being overlooked by evil eyes, or elf-shot* by the fairies, who seem to possess a peculiar power over females of every species during the period of parturition.
