Local rulers, Bavendids, Baduspans, Karenides appeared successively or simultaneously following the traditions left to them by the Marzbans or the land holders and partly the successors of the great King who were independent from the times of the Arsacide dynasty. Subsequently as Aliides and Ziyarids, they were closely attached to Shiaism with its definite expression of Persian sympathy.
I suppose that ancient Greece and modern Greece compared, furnish the most extravagant contrast to be found in history. George I., an infant of eighteen, and a scraggy nest of foreign office holders, sit in the places of Themistocles, Pericles, and the illustrious scholars and generals of the Golden Age of Greece.
But who, think you, were the true friends and champions of private property? those who advocated a system under which one man if clever enough could monopolize the earth and a very small number were fast monopolizing it turning the rest of the race into proletarians, or, on the other hand, those who demanded a system by which all should become property holders on equal terms?"
As soon as Green Valley knew that Jocelyn Brownlee was engaged it sent her a tried and true poor-man's-wife cookbook, big gingham aprons, holders to keep her from burning her hands and samples of their best jellies, pickles and preserves.

Is there more news from Haarlem?" "Alas! yes," answered the woman.
"All of a piece with Ashton's visit to Marketstoke all of a piece with the facts that Avice was a favourite name with the Cave-Gray family, and that one of the holders of the title married a Wickham. Viner, there's no doubt whatever in my mind that either Ashton was Lord Marketstoke or that he knew the man who was!" "You remember what Armitstead told us," remarked Viner.
It was no easy task, for there were two feet or more of soft snow on the ground, and there were as many as three hundred brimming bucketfuls that had to be carried to the sap holders at the shed. Several times I thought that Addison was shirking.
