One good look back, and she would be able to calculate how many yards there were... She followed the example of Lot's wife; and Jessie followed hers. "Very well," said Harold. "That settles it. I go alone." And he was gone like an arrow, across the High, down Oriel Street. The two women stood staring ruefully at each other. "Pardon me," said the Duke, with a sweep of his plumed hat.
Every picter in that lot's brand new and dirt cheap." "The gold be rubbed off," screamed Mrs. Lake in his ear. "Brighten it up, then," said the Cheap Jack. "Gold ain't paint; gold ain't paper; rub it up!" and, suiting the action to the word, he rubbed the dirty old frame vigorously with the dirty sleeve of his smock. "It don't seem to brighten it, nohow," said Mrs.
It will conduce to the purposes of instruction, if we generalize this subject, by briefly stating a few of the most usual causes of apostacy from God; some of which are strictly applicable to the history of Lot's wife. Sometimes it originates in fear; and though every period could furnish instances, we must expect to find them principally in times of persecution.
By now the great mass of King Lot's host was either slain or run away, and the evening drew on; but the eleven kings, wounded, spent, and full of anguish at defeat, drew together with a few hundred of their knights, and vowed to die fighting.
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
But all that did was to set loose imagination that had hitherto been tied to one landmark, and Ali Baba pointed out to me a dozen upright piles of argillaceous strata glistening in moonlight, every one of which he swore was either Lot's wife or one of her handmaidens. "Such should be the fate of many other women," he asserted piously. "It would save a great deal of trouble."
We must abstain from whatever is interdicted, whether it respect the tasting of fruit, as in the case of Eve, or the looking back to relinquished possessions, as in the example of Lot's wife. Unbelief was also a probable concomitant in this transgression.
I shouldn't myself wish to see the fellow's throat cut, but I ain't slow to say that I shall go for his tasting a few hickories, after that a dip in the horsepond, and then a permit to leave the country by the shortest cut, and without looking behind him, under penalty of having the saft places on his back covered with the petticoats of Lot's wife, that we hear of in the Scriptures."
They have a piano there, with the organ moved out into the back room." "The whole Howard lot's a stuck-up set," muttered the farmer. But Mrs. Bartlett wouldn't have that. Any detraction that was necessary she felt competent to supply, without help from the nominal head of the house. "No, I don't go so far as to say that.
"I feel like Lot's wife looking back upon Sodom and Gomorrah," she said. Suddenly her eyes filled with tears and she kissed her finger-tips and blew the kiss toward Rheims. "Farewell, my beautiful City!" she cried. "It is not for your sins we must leave you! And some happy day we shall return." There was a report, and a puff of smoke far away over the City, then the sound of a distant explosion.
