From the high velvet collar, her head rises like a flower from its calyx; and I have never beheld a richer harmony than that of her golden hair streaming over the emerald green. While I finish dressing her, we talk: "You are having all your friends," she says. "Some of them, those who live in Paris at this season. I have done for you to-day what I seldom care to do: I have asked them all together.
Homer does not, to the best of my recollection, refer anywhere directly to comets. But Homer says nothing of this comet. If Homer had introduced a comet, we may be sure it would not have shaken sparkles from its blazing tail. Overcome by these startling portents, my father arose, invoked the gods, and worshipped the holy star. It is impossible to recognise here the description of a comet.
My mother says one cannot be too careful. Then I think Aunt Wetherill would not approve."

Reasonably enough, it's assumed that today's whales are smaller because they haven't had time to reach their full growth. That's why the Count de Buffon's encyclopedia says that cetaceans can live, and even must live, for a thousand years. You understand?" Ned Land didn't understand. He no longer even heard me. That baleen whale kept coming closer. His eyes devoured it. "Oh!" he exclaimed.
My father then called me over and said, 'Shane, says he, 'hadn't you better slip Father Rooney a bottle or two of that whiskey; there's plenty of it there that wasn't touched, and you won't be a bit the poorer of it, may be, this day twelve months.

She says they did her lame leg that way over thirty years ago, 'n' she says 't, sittin' down 'n' side by side, she'd bet anything 't the minister 'n' all the deacons couldn't pick out one from t' other.
