His one available eye, which had begun by looking at Arnold's face, dropped slowly downward, and fixed itself, in mute but eloquent expectation, on Arnold's waistcoat pocket. "I understand!" said Arnold. "I promised to pay you for the Patmos eh? There you are!" Mr. Bishopriggs pocketed the money with a dreary smile and a sympathetic shake of the head. Other waiters would have returned thanks.
What need of allusion to events which changed the world which every child has learned to the war of Titans, uprooting of hoary trees and rock-ribbed hills, to the Worms diet, Peasant wars, the Patmos of Eisenach, and huge wrestlings with the Devil? Imperial edicts are soon employed to suppress the Reformation in the Netherlands by force.
When they weren't going headfirst into barrels of water they were chewing something not meant to be chewed. Casey asserts that it is all a bluff about goats eating tin cans. They don't. He says they never touched a can all the while he had them. He says devastated Patmos wished they would, and leave the two-dollar lace curtains alone, and clotheslines and water barrels and baggage.
Patmos had been led to believe that he would send those goats off on the train, and Casey did not know what would happen if he failed. There were the heads of the six families, and all the children who were of walking age, grouped around the crates and Casey expectantly.
It is not Paul, mighty to reprove, and learned as bold, it is that "one whom Jesus loved." He has rested on his bosom, and looked on him pierced on the cross. The look from his dying eyes and the tones of his tender love are ever present in the soul of this beloved disciple. The awful revelations of Patmos had not yet illumined his eyes.
'The New Jerusalem, the ancient seer Of Patmos saw. "All hail! mistress of nations and beautiful queen of civilization! I view thee in the light of thy destiny. Thou art transfigured before me from thy present state to one infinitely more grand, and which overshadows and dwarfs all civic forms in history. "The influence of thy empire will pervade the world with invisible and electric force.
Why, when I was in Ludlow, a feller blew in there with a big brute of a car 36-6 tires. He'd had a blow-out down the other side of Patmos and he was sore because they didn't have no tires he could use down there. He bought three tires three, mind yuh, and peeled off the bills to pay for 'em!
She made her excuses for her irritability with a grace that enchanted him. "We'll have a pleasant evening of it yet!" cried Arnold, in his hearty way and rang the bell. The bell was hung outside the door of that Patmos in the wilderness otherwise known as the head-waiter's pantry. Mr. "Haud yer screechin' tongue!" cried Mr. Bishopriggs, addressing the bell through the door.
And yet Luther all this while continued to lament that he had to sit there so idly in his Patmos: he would rather be burnt in the service of God's Word than stagnate there alone.
It is childish to try to get rid of fears by shutting the eyes tight and refusing to look formidable facts in the face. It is of frequent occurrence from Abraham till John in Patmos. The ground of the call in the Revelation of God as Shield. Chedorlaomer and all the allied kings are nothing; 'a noise, as the prophet said of a later conqueror. All the bitterness and terror is taken out of evil.
