Two things had greatly disgusted him with Lisle Court, trifles they might be with others, but they were not trifles to Cuthbert Maltravers; in the first place, a man who had been his father's attorney, and who was the very incarnation of coarse unrepellable familiarity, had bought an estate close by the said Lisle Court, and had, horresco referens, been made a baronet!
They were astonishingly alike in mind and manner and mien. They suffered the same disorders and died nearly together. Their wives, it is said horresco referens! could not tell them apart. J. Christoph was sued for breach of promise by a girl whom he said he had discussed matrimony with and exchanged rings with, but tired of.
A minute's walk brought him directly behind the pair. Trees hid him from them; a seat invited him. For a moment he struggled. Then, rubesco referens, he sat down and deliberately listened. With the sophisms by which he sought to justify this action, we have no concern; perhaps he was not in reality much concerned about them. But what he heard had its importance.
Far to the right lay what had once been called /horresco referens/ the duckpond, where "Dulce sonant tenui gutture carmen aves."
In this age of enlightenment, innovation has no respect for the most sacred institutions of antiquity. The burghers, for the only time since their creation as a body, were cast first into doubt, and secondly into rebellion. The Lufton faction, horresco referens, were triumphant, and the rival candidate was returned. From that hour the Borough of Buyemall was open to all the world.
"Jamque per emeriti surgens confima Phoebi Titanis, late mundo subvecta silenti Rorifera gelidum tenuaverat aera biga Jam pecudes volucresque tacent. jam somnus avaris Inserpit curis, pronusque per aera nutat, Grata laboratae referens oblivia vitae" Theb I 336-341.
As probably no one ever made verses on such an occasion before or since, they are deserving of quotation: "Stigmata maxillis referens insignia Laudis, Exultans remeo, victima grata Deo."
I have cause to believe, from certain allusions I have heard, that many of these chignons are not natural. There are women, most worthy daughters of Eve, who purchase for gold the hair horyesco referens of the wretched or the dead. It sickens one. "It is excessively hot, my dear cousin," said she, fanning herself.
He read, with a strange feeling of unwilling fascination, from "Horresco referens" to "Bis medium amplexi," and flung the book from him, as if its leaves had been steeped in the subtle poisons that princes die of. "Que la volonte soit le destin!" Long had she sat, crouched upon her breast, crouched, but not for slumber or for spring.
I remember we were put to it to reconcile the phrase "good creatures," upon which the blessing rested, with the fare set before us, wilfully understanding that expression in a low and animal sense, till some one recalled a legend, which told how in the golden days of Christ's, the young Hospitallers were wont to have smoking joints of roast meat upon their nightly boards, till some pious benefactor, commiserating the decencies, rather than the palates, of the children, commuted our flesh for garments, and gave us horresco referens trowsers instead of mutton.
