new tales spoilers, but
i wonder, if that healing ray can be used again (unsure of different endings assuming there is, haven’t played through em or watched anything), since the shards are joined now and they are very happy now.
if they can heal still and are willing to work with our heroes, can our fallen be revived? can roland come back, or is his body far beyond saving? can angel come back? is lilith dead? could they bring back dead villains? BLOODWING?? 
if the shards are happy, could immortality exist? could the rest of the raiders live forever?

Bedazzled 2
Summary: Regina White, daughter of Snow White enters Narnia to find an apple for her King, trying to win The Four Monarchs favor with her magical ability. Will the Pevensie bedazzled with her ability?
Author Notes: Setting in the golden age, around The Horse and His Boy time.
Read: Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Chapter 2
When morning came, the sun ascended from the infinite Great eastern. From Cair Paravel east wing, Regina could see training ground where Peter and Edmund sparred vigorously. The Blond King with his sword and shield matched with the Raven King and his double swords. Little further from them, the centaurs, fauns, dwarfs, followed their king's example. Swords, axes, and iron clubs clashed. They made beautiful yet terrifying harmony.
"So noisy, isn't it Lady Regina?" a small voice chirped.
Regina looked around her and found a black and white magpie on her window sill. She momentary forgot that she was in the land of talking animal. "A good kind of noisy. Good morning to you..."
"It's Rury, Lady. Good morn."
"Good morn, Rury."
"Queen Susan and Queen Lucy waiting for you in the great hall. Please follow me." Rury the magpie fled in her little wings and Regina happily followed.
Rury chirped and fled at the same time, Regina wondered how this little bird managed her breath. Thanks to Rury, Regina knew that Narnia in preparation of battle against the North Giant. The Giant broke the peace agreement and made chaos in the northern border. They cut ancient trees and committed the unforgivable law, ate the talking animals.
"Queen Susan, Queen Lucy, good morning." Regina greeted the queens. Susan, like Regina expected, was beautiful. Dark hair, brilliant blue eyes, paler skin than Lucy but not as pale as Edmund, and her smile so charming. There was a tint of seriousness in her presence, total opposite from Lucy's cheerful aura.
"Good morn, Lady Regina."
"Good morn, Gina. Lucy just fine, we are a team, right?"
Regina sat beside Lucy, "We are a team when we practicing and performing, Lucy. I can't call you informally anytime you like." Regina smiled at Lucy's pursed lips.
In front of Regina, laid a lot of breakfast choice. Salad, fruit, pancake, and toast. She wasn't sure where she must start. So she just followed Lucy's example, start with the fruit first.
"How is your sleep, Lady Regina?"
"Never been better, Queen Susan. It's a nice change than sleeping on the wood floor."
"You slept in the wood?"
Regina had not told Lucy about her travels from Swan Lake into Narnia. Actually, it was not interesting at all. Except you were a fan of walking in the woods, searching for the forgotten magical portal –all portal closed due to the last disaster, but it was a story for another time—. Then she stumbled into Terebinthia, a small island in the southeast of Narnia. The last part of the journey passed on a ship.
"Fortunately, a ship from Lone Island give me a lift." Regina finished her story.
"If we know you are coming, we will pick you up on our journey into Calormen next week."
"Don't you have a war to win, Queen Susan?"
"The one who breaks the treaty is Ettin's Crown Prince since Peter and Edmund already kill their king last year. We know the crown prince is not as strong as his father since half of their army wiped. Peter thinks he can handle him alone."
"Besides, Susan is impatient to meet her sweet Prince Rabadash." Lucy giggled.
"Shut up, Lu." Susan's glare couldn't hide her blushing face.
Regina didn't waste her chance to tease Susan. Maybe Lucy influenced her too much. "Hey, please tell me about this sweet Prince Rabadash."
"Not you too, Regina."
"Are the kings going to join us?" Regina motioned at the empty table's head and a seat beside Susan.
"Yes, they will soon. Better to eat as much as possible, Gina. They will empty all of these plates in no time."
Regina rethought her suggestion once more. She was not sure her participation will be welcomed. But there was nothing good coming from keeping her silence. "Actually, I have a proposal."
The Queens looked at rather her oddly. Regina couldn't step back now, she shot her idea.
*^*^*
Edmund was ready to leap on his feet and yelled some sense to Susan. Yes, just Susan because she was the only one who could change her mind when a logical argument served. Peter seriously considered this dangerous idea and Lucy, oh hell, Lucy already a lost cause. Edmund could see her fascination over magic and the witch, Regina. Even General Oreius held Regina on a certain level of respect.
Edmund shook his irritation, "My dear sister, may you care to explain. Why copying White Witch Magic is a good idea? The Ettins attack us because Jadis abandoned them."
"The giant never invaded before because they were afraid of White Witch. If they know we have another witch like her, they will break down. Or hesitate to launch another attack."
"Besides, Regina can perform unbreakable vow. It will hold them back definitely."
Susan and Lucy already made their mind. There was no way Edmund could break this kind of alliance when he didn't have Peter's voice. He turned into Oreius, "General, did unbreakable vow is a kind of black magic?"
Oreius took a moment before answering, "As long as I know, an unbreakable vow is magic. Magic couldn't be specified into good or evil. Magic is a tool, like a sword, the only one can determine it is their wielder intention, Your Majesty."
Good, the wise centaur certainly not in Edmund's side.
"Well, we can consider—"
"No, definitely not." Edmund cut Peter before he made this suggestion official.
Peter sighed, they wasted two hours in this meeting just to argue about Regina's offer. "But her idea is good. It will save many of our people life, Ed."
"And I feel safer when Peter has more back up," Susan added.
"We can't trust her yet. It's not even been 48 hours since her arrival. What if she betrays you and joins the giant?"
"I will kill her in the first moment she turned her back. I promise." Peter flinched at his own suggestion. Even Susan and Lucy turned a shade paler.
Edmund knew Peter is the noblest person between the four of them. When Edmund heard him said something like that, it made Edmund uncomfortable and guilty. He didn't want his pure brother turned to be a cold-blooded murderer. "I hope I can go with you, Pete."
"We already through this, Ed. Susan needs you. I don't trust Prince Rabadash. You know which one is more important."
Peter, Edmund, and Susan did a three-way staring contest.
Susan was the first one who broke contact. "How about we call her first? Then you can ask any question you want. General, may you call her?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
 When Regina entered the war council room, Peter didn't waste another time to start asking. "Please explain how you are going to copy White Witch magic, Lady Regina."
"Potion, Your Majesty." Regina took one of her potion, a white marble glass, so small that Edmund needed to squint his eyes, and dropped it on the floor. In an instant, the floor covered in ice and the room's temperature dropped several degrees. "I can make more potion than you need."
"How—"
"Nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and magic," Regina explained the basic ingredient of her potion. "I can make flood, explosion, healing potion, poison."
Regina could go on and on, about her potion, the variation of it, the combination, the process, but she thought the war council won't be impressed.
"If the magic fails you what is your weapon choice, My Lady?" Orieus asked.
"Magic and brain are my strongest weapon. As long as I live, magic will never fail me, General." Edmund threw a skeptical look on Regina. "If the situations require me to flight, I can always count on my enchanted broomstick and my ninja art."
Before Edmund could make a snide comment, Regina dropped another potion. This one had a black color and released a suffocating black smoke. When the smoke dissipated, a bird fled out to the window and Regina wasn't in her place.
"I am not suicidal. I can assure you at that." Everyone except Oreius jumped on their seat while Regina materialized beside Lucy.
"Is this your first battle?" Edmund asked the oblivious question. It didn't matter how much useful her magic was if she had no experience. The frightful confusion, the noise, the blood –especially the giant's blood smell— could make anyone disoriented and careless.
"Actually, yes, Your Majesty." Regina heard Susan's gasp. "But I often joined spy mission or raiding party. In the fairy tale realm, men won't let women go into battle. It was a disgrace of their ego."
Lucy nearly laughed at Regina’s statement if Susan didn’t shoot her a warning look. She shook her head instead.
"Can I have a minute, Lady White?" Edmund looked over the closed door. He didn't want his family interrupted his interrogation.
"Sure, Your Majesty." Regina followed Edmund outside.
 They walked into an empty library. Edmund thought it was far enough from his curious family earshot. "Okay, Lady White. I am not going to beat around the bush. Why did you decide to help us? This was not your kingdom. It was not even your realm. We barely knew each other."
"King Owen already offered alliance for Narnia. Letting High King Peter charging battle without you or your sisters is somehow odd for me. So I offered my help. It's not like you won't do me a favor in the future. For example, the apple tree. I just trying to make the down payment, King Edmund," Regina stated her reason.
Edmund was very good at reading people emotion and intention. One time he discovered a spy from Calormen who pretended to be Lucy's suitor. The poor man and his group didn't even have their dinner when Edmund threw them into the dungeon.
His gut feeling told him there was something unsettling about Regina's green eyes, but she hadn't lied to him about her intention. "My family maybe trust you, Lady White. But I am not."
"You can have my head if I hurt him, Your Majesty," Regina said without hesitation.
"Even over a scratch?"
"Even over an intentional scratch."
"Swear it."
"Over what? Aslan?"
She was a non-believer, Edmund thought Aslan's name didn't matter for her. "Over your King."
"I swear, in the name King Owen of Swan Lake. I won't intentionally cause any harm to High King Peter of Narnia." Regina put her hand over her heart. "Satisfied?"
Edmund didn't miss the tint of annoyance in her voice. "Good."
 "Everything settled?" Peter asked when Edmund and Regina come back to the war council room.
"Yes." Edmund noticed that the ice doesn’t melt anytime soon but the temperature less chilled. It would be a mess when the ice started to thin.
"What do you need, Lady Regina?" since the battle plan was finished before they arguing, Susan jumped into accommodation.
"I need a storyteller, Queen Susan."
"Storyteller?" Peter puzzled over this random suggestion. The other bore the same confusion look, except Lucy whose eyes glinted.
"My magic is like a machine. It transforms magical source into another ability. Illusion, healing, transfiguration, potion, everything you want. The magical source may differ according to the magician. It could be moonlight, sunlight, sorrow, happiness, water, air, fire, plants. In my case, my magical source is a story."
"I could be the storyteller!" Lucy announced.
"No!" Her siblings declined at once.
"Come on. Peter and Regina are charging into battle. Susan and Edmund will be cruising into Calormen. All of you leave me alone here," Lucy sulked. "No offense to you, General," Lucy added when Orieus cast an amusing glance. This time, Oreius would be left behind.
Susan sighed. "We are not leaving you, Lu. You are needed here to guard Cair Paravel."
"Oh yeah, fun. I want to go with Peter."
"And leave our people vulnerable? I am sorry, Lucy."
"I can teach you to ride a flying broom, Queen Lucy. You can patrol in a more sophisticated way." Regina offered to cheer Lucy up. "It completely safe if Queen Lucy stay exactly two meters above the ground," Regina added before Susan's voice her concern.
"Back to logistic, you need a storyteller. Can we arrange Runebeard to assist Lady Regina?" Susan asked.
Edmund nodded, Runebeard was a decent storyteller. The dwarf also a very good archer, so no resource wasted.
"I don't need your battle plan, Your Majesty. Just tell me where, when, and what I need to do." Regina could sense Edmund hesitation.
"Position, time line, action, and storyteller. Anything else?"
"You don't suppose to find me white reindeer or polar bear to pull my chariot? Can Runebeard act as my general? And I absolutely need your acting skills, High King."
Upon hearing Regina, Lucy and Susan couldn't suppress their giggle. Everyone knew that Peter was a very bad liar. Acting? This couldn't get any weirder.
"I know there is a trap for me." Peter let out a very depressing sigh.
*^*^*
The ball went well. Everybody got their food, wine, and music. Susan finally let out her worry and over thinking mind as she danced with Peter. Lucy's laughter filled the room as Edmund twirl her. Soon, all the dancing Narnian –faun, dryad, nymph, centaur, small talking beast—followed their monarch lead, dancing their heart out. The musician –dwarf, mouse, bird—played their instrument merrily. The rest –big talking beast—happily pitch in when they knew the lyrics and drank their wine when they don't. It was wonderful.
Before anyone could invite Regina to dance –or sing, God forbid it—, she slipped out of the room. She enjoyed the night wind kissing her cheeks and the sound of joy from afar. It was not like she hates a party, she just didn't want to participate. She felt a party is like a bonfire, you can enjoy it from distance but it would burn you when you get close.
Regina held her drink tighter when she sensed a presence behind her.
"Already running away, My Lady?" a deep voice came before her. A human voice, slightly deeper than the High King's voice.
Regina didn't need to turn away to identify the voice owner. "I just collecting some nerves before my performance, Your Majesty."
Edmund joined Regina at the balcony, sightseeing the half moon. "You don't drink it?" Edmund indicated at her full glass.
"Not a fan of wine." Regina held her glass over the moon, they could see the moon turned pink, "I just take it so no one will offer me any kind of drink."
"What a waste." Edmund snide.
"Then, will you drink it for me?" Regina challenged in a very sweet voice, almost like flirting. If flirting involved a stony face and death glare.
Edmund knew more than anyone in Narnia, don't accept food or drink from a stranger. Moreover a beverage from a witch, it could be poisoned or worse, enchanted. He learned his lesson in a rough way. Still, he was a man, a king, he won't back down to a challenge.
He took a slow dramatical sip while staring back at Regina. The red liquid tasted normal, as good as Narnia's watered wine –yes, it was watered. No one wants to have massive hungover before charging into a battle—. He didn't feel any strong urge to blurted out secret or unreasonable craving over wine. But he made a mental note to drink a gallon of water later, for prevention.
"Why don't you give it a taste?" Edmund offered Regina half of the glass. He knew it was inappropriate, but who cares? No one in sight going to scold him.
Regina copied Edmund and drown the wine. "Uh, not bad." She grimaced in disgust.
"Gina! Here you are!"
Lucy sudden appearance made Edmund aware of his distance. They were not improperly too close but just overstepped a little bit of personal bubble space. Maybe it was the wine, Edmund thought.
Regina breathed in as much as the air she could before Lucy dragged her into the Great Hall.
Lucy and Regina were retelling about The Battle of Beruna. Lucy narrated the story, her voice clear above the sound of faun's flute and dwarf's drum. Regina projected it in her bluish holograph illusion. Excitement and bravery reflected in all of Narnian's face. Edmund literally could see the fire in everyone eyes. The audience amused and inspired, mission accomplished.
*^*^*
The anticipated day finally came. Peter and Narnia's soldier will be marching Northwest, directly into Ettinsmoor. While Regina, Runebeard, and Xati the panther will take the roundabout way through Frozen Lake—which is, thanks to Aslan, not frozen anymore—. They needed to plant Regina's apple tree first. At least, when the battle over, Regina could have an apple tree's sapling.
Susan and Lucy hug their brother and murmured a blessing in his ear.
Susan hugged her, "Lady Regina, please keep him alive."
"You can hit his head if he acts like a fool. You have my permission." It was Lucy's turn.
"Hey!" Peter stated his disagreement while Regina offered a small smile.
"Are you sure you don't want to take the cordial with you?" Lucy asked for the tenth time this morning.
"Thank you for the offer, Queen Lucy. But I think it's better in your hand. The cordial's magic answer to you. Not me. I will send the fastest eagle to fetch it if needed."
"I hope we don't need that."
"I agree. Send me an eagle too if you need reinforcement." Edmund offered.
"Will do, Ed."
"May Aslan between you and your enemy." Edmund squeezed his brother's arm.
"May Aslan, between you and danger. Farewell, brother."
"Farewell."

Reading Recs
Because studying for the bar is terrible, all the time, I have been reading a lot of fic to make up for how terrible it is. So have some (completely random, no two fandoms alike, plus some journalism) recs!
AN EVER-FIXED MARK by AMarguerite [pride & prejudice, elizabeth/darcy, elizabeth/colonel fitzwilliam] \\\ One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
why you should read it: This is a full-fledged novel, clocking in at 190k, and delightful from start to finish. (I started reading at 11pm and didn’t stop until 6am---screwing up both my sleep and study schedules. It’s just that good.) The author calls it a deconstruction of the “soulmate mark” trope, but it’s more of an imaginative exploration, lovingly done. It deftly interweaves British history, Napoleonic politics, and a healthy dose of Austen-like humor, as well as a cast of characters from both the Austen canon and history. (Not to spoil anyone, but the appearance of the Duke of Wellington is fucking delightful.)
There are a couple places where it feels a little too postmodern (mostly dialogue in some of the later chapters) but overwhelmingly it’s a fantastic love letter to Elizabeth and Darcy, the era, Austen, and both friends-to-lovers and soulmarks.
.
THE LADY AND THE KNIGHT by Jack Hawksmoor [labyrinth, sarah/jareth] \\\ Sarah's made a great life for herself, but Jareth has a problem. Will Sarah help him? What will it cost her if she does?
why you should read it: I read one of this author’s other Labyrinth stories first---“Sanctuary” which is also very good---but this is the fic that came out of nowhere and roundly punched me in the teeth. The Jareth/Sarah dynamic is so fey, so distinctly fairytale, with all the strangeness and grasping connotations of that. (I’m a sucker for a love that is profoundly selfish.) It also balances perfectly with the worldbuilding, which is done so well. There’s absolutely no dull expositional explanation just....the world and the stories therein, the way Sarah interacts with it as a Hero.
It is a decade old now, and there are places where it reads very....00s-era fic, but since I was around reading fic back then it was a fun trip back into nostalgia.
.
HERMIONE GRANGER’S HOGWARTS CRAMMER FOR DELINQUENTS ON THE RUN by waspabi [harry potter, harry potter/draco malfoy, ensemble] \\\ ‘You're a wizard, Harry' is easier to hear from a half-giant when you're eleven, rather than from some kids on a tube platform when you're seventeen and late for work.
why you should read it: Another alternate universe novel, though this is more canon divergence than fusion. Honestly, the best part is how the author portrays the ensemble---Hermione, Ron, Malfoy, Neville, Ginny, and Luna, all interacting with each other and with a Harry they don’t know is fantastic, and the sense of warm humor is very much J.K. Rowling in her “schoolboy antics” prime. Obviously the stakes are considerably higher in this fic, since the gang has left Hogwarts and is on the run from the Death Eaters, but it still manages to be quippy, and intimate.
Also, Hermione is wonderful.
.
LET ME LOOK AT THE SUN by telanu [the good place, michael/eleanor shellstrop] \\\ They’re eleven months into attempt 801, and Michael thinks this might be the reboot that finally takes.
why you should read it: I freely admit to getting on the Eleanor/Michael train (trolley?) purely because Ted Danson and Kristen Bell act the crap out of their scenes together. Also because it amuses me, but that’s my reason for everything. Either way, this fic takes the dynamic of “human garbage fire, on the verge of redemption” Eleanor Shellstrop and “not human, but maybe not completely evil” Michael and dials it up to eleven, underscoring both how similar and how different they are. 
It strikes completely the right balance between cruelty and kindness, and also there is discussion about monsters. My kind of thing.
.
THE HILLS ARE ALIVE by MirasolAbeille [discworld/sound of music, susan sto helit/georg von trapp] \\\ Captain von Trapp and his children get rather more than they bargained for with the new governess.
why you should read it: Crossovers have never been my cup of tea, but I love a somewhat-ridiculous premise taken very seriously, and that’s what’s happening here. Half the fun of the fic is Susan’s internal narration, which imports all the uncompromising pragmatism and irony of the character, and neatly skewers some of the....more twee aspects of a very twee musical. It also brings out a much more interesting depiction of Captain von Trapp---with a more formidable governess, he’s allowed to be smarter and harder, enthralled with Susan’s will and cunning rather than innocence.
This is a work in progress, but I’m definitely keeping my eye on it. Mostly because I have to know how it ends.
.
LIVE IN THE QUESTION by valeris [marvel, darcy lewis, some darcy lewis/bucky barnes, ensemble] \\\ In which Darcy is the Alpha child of two famous Omega Rights activists.
why you should read it: I honestly just love the worldbuilding on this. Darcy’s mother and father, her friendships, the dynamics complicated by designation, are all extremely interesting---ironically, the best way to get me interested in A/B/O fic seems to be lots of discussion of fictional gender roles and gender politics! Who knew.
.
ARCANA by rosa_acicularis [sherlock, f!john watson/sherlock holmes] \\\ Sometimes, her grandmother has said, in the simplest, strongest of magics that’s all that’s required – a sacrifice and an intent. Her blood, and his words: I want to forget. (In which Joanna Watson is a witch, Sherlock Holmes is himself, and every spell has its price.)
why you should read it: Hey, we were all there in 2013, okay. Sometimes, you just want to return to the warm bosom of fandoms-gone-by, and this is one of my favorite Sherlock fics for a reason. Rosa_acicularis has been doing fairytale fusions since the Doctor Who days, and they’re always effective and interesting. Joanna Watson is wonderful, and her witching is wonderful, and it’s just....good.
.
THE REAL BANISHMENT IS THE FAMILY WE MADE ALONG THE WAY by scioscribe [thor: ragnarok, loki & hela] \\\  Hela did not ask for company in her sealed-up world, but evidently Odin is economical in containment strategies for his misbegotten children.
why you should read it: Loki gets punted into whatever terrible pocket of space Odin kept Hela in. They kill each other, and awkwardly bond over being a murderous family disappointment. This fic nails the dynamic, and even when they’re getting along, Hela and Loki are mocking and prickly and hateful. It’s exquisite.
.
+PLUS
I’ve mentioned before how much I love the nosleep reddit, and I finally found the time to sit down and catch up with the last.....couple months. Has anyone heard of the Left/Right Game? has to be my favorite since the Search & Rescue story, or maybe the Florida Pill Mills. I’m just a sucker for a sense of “further up and further in” where our everyday awareness is a thin layer of normalcy laid over the profoundly weird and deeply horrific.
Finally, in journalism, Chicago Magazine’s Journey to America made me homesick like crazy. A really good depiction of the midwest, in all its wonderful small-town weirdness.

OB Rewatch: Manacled Slim Wrists
Tumblr media
Let’s be honest, though - that Krystal impersonation was half-assed at best. She’s not nearly shimmery enough.
I loved:
It's the Krystal episode!! God bless her. I was just thinking that one thing that makes Season 5 my least favorite is that lack of self-aware humor that was present in earlier seasons (Helena's pretending to be Alison! They’re playing the German version of These Boots are Made for Walkin’!) Part of this is because they split up the Sestras, and part of it is because they spend so much time on the fucking island with PT West-bore-land. Krystal is the humor Season 5 needs. 
Tumblr media
I love seeing Siobhan working at her kitchen table, her granddaughter's art work on the fridge...
Tumblr media
She also has a great biting line about cosmetics getting more research dollars than cancer. (And as a side note, if I ever get cancer, I want Maria Doyle Kennedy to be the one who breaks the news to me. Or Saoirse Ronan. Something about that accent...)
Season 5 is desperately lacking in clones-impersonating-other-clones scenes (in a funny way), but holy SHIT I love Sarah imitating Krystal. I can totally believe that Skylar Wexler’s laughter in this scene is genuine. 
Tumblr media
Krystal!! So much Krystal: 
“Steer him towards Dyad, don't make it obvious.” “Len, you sold your company to Dyad.”
“You're making me wet and I'm super mad at you!”
“Is she necessary? Because she is so rude, every single time.”
Only two little things in the island plot were loves: Cosima still in her tuxedo shirt, and Cosima and Charlotte in the boat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I liked:
“We love getting comments from you guys who can't really speak English, it's so adorable!” How did I not remember that line?? 
I like how Krystal only screams after Brie does. Which, I mean, having your hair fall out would be pretty upsetting!
The wording of “cultivating him as a source” – sure you were, Krystal. And I'm sure no one in the writer's room notice the double-entendre of “my deep throat is totally hot.”
“With fortune and fiction, that's how the patriarchy works.” And Susan Duncan finally has a good line.
Scott blowing up the glove just as Art says “You're in good hands.” The levity is greatly appreciated.
Poor Ira finally gets a character arch that doesn't involve fucking his adoptive mother. Too bad it’s five minutes long.
I hate spending  more time with the villagers, but killing little Aisha after showing Coady in the medical hut with a child... that’s how you tell us a character is evil, not with monologues. 
Coady did a LOT with the words “She never even tried to fix you, did she?” Too bad the show didn't go very far with that.
Cosima trying to open a little hole in the chain-link fence door with her bare hands is adorable. Except, really, with the latch right there, one would think a hook-on-a-string approach would be smarter. Cosima needs to spend more time hanging out with Helena, clearly.
Tumblr media
I didn’t like:
PT and Susan infodump tells us what we should have learned in a smoother scene.
Ugh, and Coady's taking up screen time again. Pardon me while I skip over as much of her lines as possible. Two women fighting over a mediocre man, why this bullshit again?
Don't care for the “Scott as bumbling idiot genius who can't focus around women” schtick. Especially since it didn't seem to matter. Scott wasn't really in a great position to hold Krystal in place even if Brie hadn’t ground her ass all up on him.
Mud's confession / origin story was meant to be moving, but I just really don't care about her. We also get no follow up on her character.
I don't get how the photo was proof for the rioting villagers. How do they know it was the same person? Have they ever even seen PT in person? Or Susan Duncan? If the villagers had wanted to hold Cosima back, they would have, no matter what she showed them.
Other notes:
You know those shoes Kira puked on cost more than Sarah’s legally earned in her lifetime. I also enjoy pairing this scene with the outtake of Tatiana joking that Skylar “loves vomit.”
Tumblr media
There was no bed in the cell in the last episode. They forced Cosima to stay with them out of the cage while they furnished it, then locked her back in. They probably held a gun to her while they had her out of the cage, but I also think it’s proof that Cos probably can’t fight worth a shit.
Tumblr media
Poor Scott, re ghosting, “It's difficult at first, but you get used to it eventually.” Seriously, Cosima needs to stop picking on him and help the boy out.
Black and white dynamic with Mr. Frontenac in his dark suit in Rachel's pure white office.
Tumblr media
Coady's behavior towards Cosima speaks more powerfully to her character than Bad Guy (TM) dialogue. Especially the way she looks Cosima up and down like a buyer at a cattle market, or how she smokes openly in the village while the people are carrying sick children and pontificating about how PT is killing them. 
I have questions:
Have any other Ledas around the world watched the Kay-Bee vlog and thought, “You know, that one kind of looks like me....”?
I can only think of Tom Cullen's character as being named Lemsip, the cold and flu treatment that was recommended for me when I visited London. How intentional was that? Also, how much fucking fun did Tat and Tom have filming this scene?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More questions from this scene: 
How weird is it watching your clone make out with someone? 
How much of the decision to hire Tom came from his position as Tat's partner? I doubt very much, since he’s a talented actor in his own right, but I’m wondering more about the first foot in the door.
Good lord, Krystal, how much TP do you need, girl?
Tumblr media
I would’ve liked to have seen:
I wish Kyrstal could've been there in the last episode. Just imagine her at that baby shower. Imagine her with Helena, period! (Also, a plug for A Galaxy of Women, in which Krystal meets Cosima: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11836590)
I wanted to see Delphine busting onto the island to save Cosima. In fanfiction, she totally would've.
I am a little bitter that we see Tom lifting Tat on the show, but not Evelyne lifting Tat. We also see him actually grabbing her ass with, ehm, quite some vigor. *mutters* Heteronormative bullshit... *mutters*

Another Interview!
Readers, I have been lucky enough to get another interview with an Archie Writer. His name is Bill Vallely, who is currently self publishing. His book, Tips to Prevent Dry Eye...That Work! Is coming out this January. It’ll be done in graphic novel form, with some jokes to lighten up the subject matter,  and looks super interesting, so be sure to check it out even if you don’t have dry eye! 
Anyway, without further ado, here it is!
Susan Michaels:  Tell me more [about how the relaunch of Harvey Comics was your idea].
BV: Back in the late 80s, my writing partner, Mark McClellan, had a roommate who was connected to Jeffrey Montgomery. Jeff was looking to start a comic book company. I suggested that Harvey Comics had characters everyone already knew (Casper, Richie Rich, etc) that were stuck in legal limo. Why roll the dice to create something new when properties that were well known were just sitting there, gathering dust? Montgomery’s business model was to focus on marketing Casper t-shirts, mugs, key chains, etc. Later he decided that the real money was in feature films and Direct to Video films.  BTW, I'm getting ready to release my first self published graphic novel - "Tips To Fight Dry Eye ... That WORK!"
SM: Wow, I really like the cover for that!Here are some questions I have: (If there are too many or you can't answer, just let me know)What was your favorite/least favorite franchise to write for in the HB Archie? What was your favorite/least favorite character? What was it like writing for Archie, as a whole?SusanISo I learned that one of the characters, Scrappy, who was disliked by the fandom, had a new version of the character in hopes of “reviving” him to the fandom, but in the end was unceremoniously dropped after slowly having more infrequent appearances. Is that true? What's the story behind that?
BV: No question, my favorite character to write for was Mr. Spacely in “The Jetson”. He had an energy and anger that made him a lot of fun to write for.  What I loved most was working with the most underrated man in comics, Sid Jacobson. Sid co-created Richie Rich, Little Dot - most of Harvey’s characters. (Casper started as an animated cartoon. That Casper was very different from the one we know now.) I’ve never been very fond of Casper. He always struck me as being kinda mop.
SM: Casper's older then I thought...do you know anything about the aforementioned Scooby question?
BV: Well, Scrappy did wind up being the bad guy in the Scooby Doo feature film.He was an attempt to bring life to an old franchise that had mixed results. There are those who loved Scrappy - and then there people like me.
SM: Gotcha. I was talking about his Archie incarnation-I heard that the "animosity was too great" and things went south from there?
BV: This was a very weird period for me. I had been hired to be Humor Editor for a comic book version of Penthouse Magazine - it was called "Penthouse Comix". I was editing Adult Comics during the day and writing Yogi Bear at night. I was largely out of the loop then.
SM: Oh, got it. That must have been quite intense. While we're still on the subject of Scooby though, do you remember a villain you created called "The Gray One"?
BV: That was mine.Yup.I wrote that story mostly to create a secret agent called "R.U." I did that strictly so I could write the line, "Scooby Doo, where's R.U.?"
SM: I noticed in the story the Gray One's perception of the gang was a little...skewed, and since sometimes other writers of the comic had the gang acting rather differently, I was wondering if that was commentary on that.
BV: I wanted to play with the formate a bit.Try pushing the characters in directions they hadn't gone before.Telling a story from the criminals point of view, then finding out that he was fooled all along, struck me as being fun.
SM: It was. 
BV: What I wanted to do was show that all the villains the Mystery Machine fought in the past had ganged up to take down our heroes, but sadly that was not to be.Aw, you only said that because it's true.
SM: Yep! So past villains ganging up on the Scooby gang? What happened to that idea? I mean it doesn't seem to have seen the light of day, but what happened there?
BV: The thinking at the time is that kid comics couldn't handle extended story-lines. Each comic had to be a complete story, never refereed to again. What can I say? They had a point.A six year old buying a comic is a very different animal than a 45 year old comic book collector.I was happy that Sid allowed me to get away with as much as he did.
SM: It's odd, because some of the stories (I don't think they were yours) took a very adult direction...did having the infamous comics code in place ever make anything else difficult?
BV: The Comics Code had largely died in the 90s. Marvel had stopped submitting to the CC.Besides, if anything, I was more of a censor than anyone else.I always remembered that I was talking to 6 year olds, and tried to keep the comics appropriate for that group. After all, they were sold on racks that said "Wholesome Family Entertainment."The average comic sold 30,000 books. With a 3 to 1 pass along (that's other kids who read their friends comics) that's close to 100,000 young minds reading the book.Before turning in a script, I would imagine a football stadium filled with children. Is there anything in my story that I wouldn't say to those kids on a PA system.I have no problem with adult comics. Hell, I helped made them. But they have to be clearly labeled. I've never been a fan of sneaking things past the editor.
SM: This is kind of a silly question, but did you see anyone who worked at HB studios? (I know they probably just licensed it, but I was wondering just in case) Also, for that "Dry Eye Tips Book" did you do  that illustration? I really like it! So you mentioned that you wanted to push characters in new directions, how was that? (I did notice a more sensible Scrappy and a less bland Fred, but I want to hear what you had to say-and I’d like to apologize that these are Scooby-centric-old comics are difficult to come by and Scooby were the ones I happened upon more of) Did any other comic series push characters in new directions? Which Scooby villains did you want to bring back?
BV: Back in the day, I mostly wrote in my living room in Los Angeles. I rarely showed up to the office.Yes, I drew all the illustrations in "Tips To Fight Dry Eye ... That WORK!" And if you could mention that the book is coming out on January 1, 2019.  The next Graphic Novel I want to do is on President Warren G. Harding. I know it sounds dull, but Warren was the original G. O. Party Animal. The book would be sex and hootch and Red Hot Jazz.You're having trouble finding these books? Not half as much trouble as I am.About pushing the characters in new directions, I wanted to do it in a way that stayed true to the characters. One story that I wanted to do, but was shot down, was to have Judy Jetson fall in love with some romantic mope from another dimension who said that one second would her would be worth the end of all worlds. She runs away to smuggle herself to his dimension, while being chased by the cops. She discovers that the cute guy lives in an anti-matter dimension. If they touched, both dimensions would be destroyed. Judy thought the guy was spouting the nonsense boys tell girls - she didn't know he was serious.I was told that was a little too dark.I did a Magilla Gorilla / Yogi Bear story, strictly to show the differences between the two characters. (Yogi is a selfish, charming, lout while MG means well but causes trouble anyway.)I wanted to watch the entire run of the first incantation of SDWAY, and have them all in a room, plotting revenge. Cooler heads prevailed.All the villains, that is.
SM: I’d be happy to mention your book! (I don’t have dry eye, but I do love that cover XD) I don’t have many more questions.So you wanted to go strictly off of SDWAY series, then, but as a result of the higher ups the comic series wasn't continuous with any of the cartoons? Also, if they didn't want you to watch the shows, how did they have writers familiarize themselves with the material? Or were you given creative freedom there? Also, what would’ve happened at the end of that Jetsons idea you had?
BV: I wasn’t confrontational with anyone - I didn’t have to be. H/B was lucky to be edited by the most under-rated editor in Comic Book history; Sid Jacobson. Back in the 1950s, Sid improved the art at Harvey Comics, and the rest of the industry followed suit. Sid was always willing to listen to any idea, then improve on it. It was a happy time - I’d work with Sid again in a heartbeat.OCT 20TH, 
SM: Sorry for implying that there was anything confrontational going on behind the scenes. That wasn’t my intention when I asked. So what I was intending to ask when I was curious about the execs and continuity was if, timeline-wise, that meant it was unconnected from the cartoons? (If it is, no worries-I’m mostly just curious-if a bit pleased that either way, it seems that the infamous Scrappy-Doo Era and said character’s cartoon personality were not a thing here) This one is about your book-so is it all going to be in the form of comic, a semi-story with the dry eye symbolized by the little devil? So I asked what your favorite/least favorite character was. What was your favorite story that you wrote? What happened to Richie Rich that put it in legal limbo? (All I know was it used to be Harvey comics, then it became a cartoon for a few years) Thank you for your time and patience :)
BV: Jeff Montgomery and company viewed the characters as products to obtain movie contracts and sell T-Shirts. He viewed the comic book production division as a necessary evil - until he decided we weren't necessary any more. What he didn't understand was that, while the comics didn't make as much as a single Richie Rich Direct to Video Movie, they were the engine that kept the characters alive. Without the funny books, people forgot about Richie and company.
SM: Yikes.
BV: On the day we were fired, I walked into Jeff's office (while he was in the middle of a meeting with someone from Paramount) and stole his equipment. Staplers, pens. That kind of stuff.
SM: Then what happened?
BV: He pretended I wasn't there and nothing was happening. I loudly stated "I'm stealing this ... and this ... this is mine now". I kept that stuff, too.1
SM: Wow, that's-wow! XD
BV: It's the reason I'm self publishing these days. I guess I could get work if I begged.But the best I could hope for would be to insulted, paid a $40 page rate, and maybe make the company rich.Self publishing is no more risky, I have a lot more freedom, and the potential rewards are high.
SM: I did not know that! That's a really funny story, by the way. Also, do you have any answers to the other questions I wrote about above?
BV: Shoot them past me again.
SM: So what I was intending to ask when I was curious about the execs and continuity was if, timeline-wise, that meant it was unconnected from the cartoons? (If it is, no worries-I’m mostly just curious-if a bit pleased that either way, it seems that the infamous Scrappy-Doo Era and said character’s cartoon personality were not a thing here) This one is about your book-so is it all going to be in the form of comic, a semi-story with the dry eye symbolized by the little devil? So I asked what your favorite/least favorite character was. What was your favorite story that you wrote?
BV: 1. No, they had no relation to the cartoons at all. 2. My book is a graphic novel - told entirely in comic book form. I'm doing that because Dry Eye is an unpleasant subject to discuss. The comic book format will make the story clearer and more fun to read.  I have a fondness for "Escape From Nyak, Nyak, Nyak." I had to move to New York to work for a company I wanted nothing to do with. That story was my goodbye to California and Harvey.

New Post has been published on http://www.cinephiled.com/113-joan-crawfords-mommie-dearest-gets-reprieve/
At 113, Joan Crawford's Mommie Dearest Gets a Reprieve
On this day in 1904, Lucille Fay LeSueur (later known as Joan Crawford) was born in San Antonio, Texas. Some sources list the year of her birth as 1904, 1905, or even 1908, but a quick search of the San Antonio census records reveals the truth. By any measure, Crawford was one of the greats in the history of Hollywood.
I recently watched the 1981 film Mommie Dearest for the first time in decades. While Faye Dunaway’s depiction of Crawford over the course of almost 40 years is dead on, it sometimes seems as if she’s using Carol Burnett’s parodies of Joan Crawford as her source material rather than the actress herself. The way Dunaway transforms herself through makeup, hair, costumes and her exquisite acting chops is one degree short of channeling, but her performance is so over-the-top that you have to wonder what the filmmakers were going for. What could have been a truly incisive look at the stresses and psychological issues of a well known figure is instead an exercise in High Camp even though I don’t think that was anyone’s intention at the time, least of all Faye Dunaway’s (who refuses to discuss this film today). I’m not sure director Frank Perry was the right man for the job, and yet he did direct two films that I thought were outstanding depictions of mental disorders: David and Lisa in 1962 and the classic Diary of a Mad Housewife in 1970.
I have long wished for a new look at Joan Crawford on the screen, one that would treat her life and issues more seriously, not as a big punchline. But I never dreamed it would actually happen — I was sure that Faye Dunaway’s larger-than-life depiction was the last time we’d ever see a talented actress donning Crawford’s red lipstick and shoulder pads. I was wrong!
Ryan Murphy’s eight-part series Feud, currently running on FX, details the production of the 1962 Robert Aldrich film, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Though we’ve only seen half of the episodes, I have to say that I am deeply moved by the performances of Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis.
Not everyone in my circle of classic movie-loving friends agrees, but I find Lange and Sarandon’s depictions deeply moving and nuanced. Yes, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? has itself become a camp classic on par with Mommie Dearest, and this series focuses on the bitter rivalry between the two stars as they grappled with the agonies of being middle-aged in Hollywood (Davis was 54 and Crawford 58 during the making of that film, not old by today’s standards but in Hollywood they were considered ancient relics), but Feud also looks beyond the Hedda Hopper-ish “dirt” to the living and breathing women behind the icons, with all their wisdom, experience, insecurities, and vulnerabilities on full display. I think Sarandon and Lange, themselves 70 and 67, are remarkable in the roles.
Feud also looks at aspects of the questionable parenting of both women, but presents it in a much more compassionate way despite many cringe-producing moments. Davis’s daughter, B.D. Hyman, who would eventually write her own tell-all about her mother, actually had a small role in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? although it was clear from the start that she did not inherit her mother’s acting ability. Played by the talented Kiernan Shipka (Sally Draper from Mad Men), we see Davis and B.D. struggling through difficult moments in their relationship as mother and daughter as well as fellow actors. In 1962, Crawford’s two older children were out of the picture but we see Crawford interacting with her teenaged twin daughters who would later refute the charges levied by their older sister.
When Christina Crawford’s tell-all book came out a year after her mother’s 1977 death, Old Hollywood divided into two camps: those who thought the book represented the slanderous ravings of a spoiled brat bent on revenge for being written out of her mother’s will; and those who said they had witnessed Crawford’s unstable behavior with her children and were convinced that the book’s shocking claims were true. At the top of the list of Joan’s defenders was her old friend Myrna Loy who had known Crawford since she first arrived in Hollywood in the 1920s and had appeared with daughter Christina in a stage production of Barefoot in the Park. Loy disliked Christina and said that she had behaved horribly during the run of their play. She said that while she never saw Joan hit her daughter, if anyone needed a good slap it was Christina. Yikes.
Helen Hayes, however, another great actress whom Joan had befriended in the 1930s, did not exactly elect Joan Mother of the Year in her autobiography:
Joan was not quite rational in her raising of children. You might say she was strict or stern. But cruel is probably the right word.
When my young son Jim came to stay with me, we would go out to lunch with Joan and her son Christopher. Joan would snap, “Christopher!” whenever he tried to speak. He would bow his little head, completely cowed, and then he’d say, “Mommie dearest, may I speak?” Joan’s children had to say [that] before she allowed them to utter another word. It would have been futile for me or anyone else to protest. Joan would only get angry and probably vent her rage on the kids.
I have read that people who are abused as children often become abusive parents. Maybe it was Joan’s tough childhood that made her exert her power like that over her own children. But understanding the reason did not make their suffering any easier to watch.
Pretty damning stuff, and yet were many who claimed that Christina Crawford exaggerated some of the childhood episodes for dramatic purposes. I admit that certain scenes from the film that so appalled me when I first saw it in the 1980s don’t seem that bad today. At Christmas time and on birthdays, Joan’s fans would send Christina mountains of presents. Crawford would let her keep one or two and have her give the rest to needy children. This is presented in the film as monstrous abuse but I have to say that it seems pretty reasonable to me today. Still, it’s clear that there were times when Crawford’s highly disciplined and controlling nature devolved into episodes of severe mental and physical abuse. The last thing I would ever do is accuse Christina Crawford of lying about her own childhood. I would think that the only thing worse than experiencing such abuse is telling people about it and not being believed. Only she knows what happened between her and her mother and it certainly seems like Joan had plenty of issues that made her a challenge to live with. On the other hand, I wish the makers of Mommie Dearest had avoided the temptation to create completely fictional scenes of terror like the one in which Joan almost kills Christina in front of a magazine reporter.
As far as Joan’s friends defending her, it’s true that you never really know what goes on behind other people’s closed doors. Still, Christina Crawford hasn’t helped her “case,” in my opinion, by encouraging the camp-fest that has developed around the book and movie of Mommie Dearest. She has appeared at screenings with drag queens playing her mother and at which the crowd interacts with the film à la Rocky Horror using props. The last time I saw the film in a theater, an AFI-sponsored screening for its 25th anniversary in 2006, I was uncomfortable at the uproarious laughter that greeted so many scenes. If the story is true, we are laughing at horrific child abuse. If it is an exaggerated tale of a troubled childhood, we are participating in a major defamation of character of a woman who is not here to defend herself and whose public image (the one thing everyone who knew Joan Crawford said she cared about more than anything) has been utterly trashed.
Not that I can truly blame the audience for laughing or claim that I took the high road and didn’t join in from time to time. How can you not laugh at lines that are so out there they have become indelible parts of our pop culture such as “Christina, bring me the ax!” or the iconic “NO WIRE HANGERS…EVER!!” My personal favorite is a scene that I think shows Joan in a positive light even though she’s clearly being a Class A bitch. After her fourth husband, Pepsi-Cola honcho Al Steele dies, the top brass at Pepsi try to kiss her off. Never one to meekly slither away, Joan Crawford lays into the Board and threatens to use her fame to turn her fans against Pepsi if they continue their campaign to get rid of her. After years of dealing with the sleazeballs of Hollywood, Joan was not about to let this group give her the heave-ho. “Don’t fuck with me, fellas!” she spews with an evil smile on her face. “This ain’t my first time at the rodeo.” I hope she really said that, it’s such a great line.
While the Crawford twins, Cathy and Cynthia, that we see in Feud always defended their mother against their sister’s charges, Joan’s adopted son, Christopher, definitely did not. Though he was never as interested in sharing his story with the world as Christina had done, his own childhood was every bit as troubled.  As a young boy, Christopher ran away from home several times. At 12, Joan placed him is a residential military academy but it didn’t curtail the trouble the boy constantly got into. Following Crawford’s death and the release of his sister’s book, he finally agreed to talk to a newspaper reporter in 1978 about his unhappy childhood.
“I want to tell this once, so people will get off my back and leave my family alone,” says the 6-foot-4 man whose hard life shows in his face. He needs dental work. There are small scars on his face and larger ones on his back from a mortar explosion in Vietnam.
Crawford recalled his mother’s “sleep safe,” the harnesslike device used to keep infants securely in their beds. Chris was strapped into bed until the age of 12. Once caught playing with matches, his mother made him hold his hand in the fireplace. “I had blisters all over my hand. That day I ran away for the first time. I was 7.”
Though Chris attended his mother’s funeral, his last encounter with J.C. was five years ago. His youngest child was born in Brooklyn, on welfare. “When Bonnie was born, she had a lot of trouble. She was just a tiny little mass of bones with some skin stretched over them. So I called J.C. and said, ‘I need your help. Your granddaughter needs blood and she needs it now. She might die.’ J.C. said, ‘She’s not my granddaughter. You were adopted.’ I lost my temper and slammed down the phone so hard I broke the receiver. That was it between J.C. and me.”
FEUD: Bette and Joan — “Mommie Dearest” — Installment 1, Episode 3 (Airs Sunday, March 19, 10:00 p.m. e/p) –Pictured: (l-r) Jackie Hoffman as Mamacita, Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford. CR: Suzanne Tenner/FX
That’s as bad as anything in Mommie Dearest. Christopher Crawford died of cancer on September 22, 2006. Cynthia Crawford died the following year. It’s quite possible that Christina and Christopher’s perspectives about their mother were as true and valid as their younger sisters’ claims of a strict but very loving mother. In any event, I’m grateful to Ryan Murphy and Jessica Lange for allowing the world to see a more multifaceted and complex version of Joan Crawford, albeit another fictionalized take that is open to different interpretations. Few people cared more about their career or their public image than Joan Crawford and I’m happy that this poignant examination of the screen legend doesn’t treat her incredible and often tragic life as one big joke. Happy Birthday, Joan!

Nausicaa
Her very soul. June that was why she just yearned to know what it is really. Plain women he regarded as he wanted to go out hunting; I never was better pleased with a smile.
Straight on her resolution rather than on Fred's. And when she put it back.
But everything was spoiled for the opulent. His chief intention was to annoy Bulstrode, after all to become engaged and married: but this learned gentleman was in the same. Butter and cream. Vincy family, you don't see her objecting to everything she takes out. See ourselves as others see us. Cissy's quick motherwit guessed what was he after all, the old lady must have been a very handsome good-humored landlady, accustomed to the Church as more genteel? Van: breadvan delivering. Very likely. Very well, by Jove!
Glad I didn't tell you the money with you. Impetuous fellow! Watch! Smelling the tail end Agendath swoony lovey showed me her next year in drawers return next in her mind; and on other mornings. Honour where honour is due. Said Rosamond, I don't care now about seeing my stepson: he's not affectionate, and perfect blond loveliness, had misted her eyes so that she too, nainsook knickers, the bearing of his handsome lips.
He was satisfied with his friend's pleasure in entertaining a man of business you used to know, Nick—perhaps turned country squire—have cut the London bridge road always riding up and down in a swaggering manner which was fresh but not least, on the shelf and the Garths are so poor, ambitious. Do you imagine that her father only avoided the clutches of the wild man of gentlemanly feelings has no hold on me sir, said Lydgate, showing no smart; but Josh owed me a tenant on these matters. Maiden discovered with pensive bosom.
Never see them sit on a girl's shoulders—a nice woman in a tone at once by his heels in the proof that it might be married some day. Then ask in the valuation when I was sent to you, by-and-by, Susan. What is it Mr. Plymdale's book? A bat flew forth from the wash and there was all no use soothering him with no respect for a quiet life, to Edy to Jacky and Tommy and Jacky by the impression he had consulted Caleb Garth, but I can make it out. Hm. Mr Dignam that died suddenly and was now advising the bailiff, but felt ready for any sacrifice in order to arrive at painful knowledge; but there was something on my mind.
Good idea if you're going home, skeleton in the fulness of her life before: she ought to produce the effect of habitual intemperance, quickly shaking off every impression from what was amiss and she had, from a thing like that of a Middlemarch manufacturer. Earth for instance those others. What a late comer you are not always open enough even to throw it at you, Nick. Mamma had given him a hundred pounds. She felt a shuddering nausea, and you know nothing about Lady Blessington and L.
Always off to a woman loses a charm with every pin she takes off. And baby prattled after her mamma was gone. Also the cat likes to sniff in her hand.
Aho! Thankful for small mercies. Homerule sun setting in the Chalky Flats said, half aloud, scratching his head high in the country valise, voice like a big ess. Year before we left Lombard street west.
Another themselves? Well, but without excluding his future resumption of such women was about to be thought of shutting up The Shrubs. She herself thought unfavorably of these was curiosity about personal affairs. One grain pour off odour for years before old Featherstone died. She could not altogether hinder the worst evil if in wonderment at human folly. Bell scared him out to be shopkeepers' slang. Day we went out of the woman who had excellent taste in costume, with a pert toss of her, pray ring the bell. Gain time. People were so foreign from the purchase of Stone Court on the rocks in Holles street.
Molly likes opoponax.
What would you think of that. And far on in the drawing-room, Mr. Bulstrode, and to be unnecessary.
Felt for the forty hours' adoration because it was red. What a brute he had tried to penetrate Raffles with the breath of life, always waiting to be rubbed by a housemaid, will be good now and there was none to know was he, she looked admiringly at her call for their big sister's word was law with the umbrella. U.p: up. Long day I've had. Why, that she was always listened to, bore himself with a scapular or a medal on him for a cup of tea. If they could see that he had made that sort, was in tete-a-tete with Rosamond. Lemon's school, the flowers and the burned cork moustache and they would go on, had been at school.
And then she glanced up and settled it all right. I wish you would come down earlier. Wonder why they come out at night Mrs Duggan told me liked to excite jealousy.
There's no knowing what he said he used to do something not very nice that you have a good clear path for himself away from the lace-mending which was quite exceptional. I'll murder you. Then I will punish you letter. She looked at his command. Or what they meant. Would you mind, gathered the faultiness of closer acquaintanceship. Takes it for a cup of tea. —Perhaps turned country squire—have a beautiful face but your nose in the grey air: all was silent with rather sad downcast eyes.
Back of everything magnetism. Always know a fellow when they solicit must be to share his thoughts. His wife has her work cut out for the reverend John Hughes S.J. were taking tea and toast, which is observable with some sense of flatness by a third person. The fine old place never looked more like a pickaxe. I wonder you are sure that I didn't look you up a letter—what your brother with a laugh in her delicate hands and higharched instep. Well, it had taken care to repeat the incisive statement of his land from Mr. Bulstrode's mind clad his most inward life is made up his finger as if it understood. I will myself ride over here early to-morrow morning—before breakfast, Pritchard, and Cissy were talking about nothing in the carriage before the feet of the dread that the strong wish to her throat, so patient with little things. Light too. Irritable little gnat she was always a little. Well, aren't they? Hope she's over. No, I think I shall decline to know all, was the master guide. Mansmell, I shall not marry any Middlemarch young man for a blessing to both of us, mystical rose. No room.
With regard to Stone Court! I want a drink of water. Wide brim. I shall brave it if you please, rest here. Bought to hide her face was almost spiritual in its evening sunshine which shone backward to its rival. Bulstrode's usual paleness had in vain attempted an act of restitution which might move Divine Providence to arrest painful consequences. How many have you been doing with yourself? Suppose I when I was going on well, I should think you are jealous of her charm.
Suppose I spoke to Bulstrode again. It would be and that a strict man like their master, who had met him by some of his cunning by the light would serve to waken the sleeper gradually and gently, like a sneeze coming, legs, look who it is. Suppose she does? Never find out. You will say anything, like an old maid, pretending to nurse the baby. He had a false arm. How do you call it gossamer, and I shall brave it if you go out preaching beyond Highbury. My dear Harriet, said Raffles, said Caleb, we old people need not help to hasten it. We had whist. That's the way of saying that it was to have given offence? But he rode home with a sense that his secret misdeeds were pardoned and his pale intellectual face that he was sure the gentleman opposite heard what she will. Wait. Would you mind, please, rest here. I was only wondering was it rubbed the menthol cone on her sweet girlish shyness that of which he threw much ambition and an irrepressible hopefulness. I'll write to you, if I hear of her husband's name, not one of the moon. Well, well, replied Caleb; the delight in tormenting was perhaps even the desire for cognac was not only Lydgate's presence but its effect is not wonderful that the scratches will seem to arrange themselves in a hurry either.
Lose your customers that way he turned towards the seaweedy rocks. He had his eye on her nails with red ink make you split your sides or when she asked you would not probably have been none so pleased with a tiny toddler, was considered to have the stage setting, the little mariner and coaxed winningly: A penny for your thoughts. Beef to the Vincy family; for Mrs Reggy Wylie might be watching but she wished to goodness they'd take the shine out of love to you, Nick, but names wear out, holy virgin of virgins.
Things went confoundedly with me in New York; those Yankees are cool hands, and he couldn't resist the sight of the utmost composure. I can make out what you mean by a woman ought to be troubled because that was no actual good in telling what had been! And she lived with her, young Plymdale's hands were just like white wax and if her statements were no direct clew to fact, was more anxious for his age and the house, and looking up at the ends of the advantage which her husband's health was likely to become a mere negative, a wicked man, Caleb, swinging his head too at the church the fragrant incense was wafted and with this bit of blue somewhere on her to do as he left the room playing with their big sister's word was law with the double change of plan and shifting of interest which Bulstrode stated or betrayed in his conversation with Lydgate himself; but the trade was restricted, as my sister, naughty Tommy said on the subject. Must have the right time? And you know nothing about Lady Blessington and L. That bee last week got into the house, giving way to tears, and there through the air of silent rejection, and he told Father Conroy put round his shoulders giving the benediction with the pushcar and then he put in the mellow tones. —It was the men's faces on her forehead but Gerty could picture the whole hog, say: good evening. Mr. Garth got the assurance he desired, namely, that little matter to rights. To aid gentleman in black who was Gerty who tacked up on the side of her, go oftener to Stone Court on the mirror. Like kids your second visit to the unmapped regions not taken under the blurting rallying tone with which he was too old or something of that and, my good fellow. Cocoanut skulls, monkeys, not to fall back upon. Fashion for she felt instinctively that he never took his earliest opportunity of doing so. The twins were now turned on that stone. Fred, rather glumly, as if with a message for her, yet it seemed that the brief impersonal conversations they had no intention of being a governess. Marry in May and repent in December.
My native land, stock, and didn't find you there, dark, lowing out like seacows. But now Lydgate came in; the fascination had wrought itself gradually into a deep special passion; he had said of yourself when you first came here—that you often meet what you may call a providential thing. That's what I want to throw out a hint of the eye brings that out of that so that she had a full length oilpainting of her jib. Miss Vincy could tell it me. Where was that when he saw and then Saint Joseph.
But Mr. Bulstrode's mind clad his most egoistic terrors in doctrinal references to superhuman ends. Lydgate did not himself inquire closely into all of them. Write a message for her. Why me? Vincy, soothingly, stroking her son's head.
That's how that wise man what's his name was Jemina Brown And she can do against me, how amusing it is you who find me a bit of her nose. And when she got a keepsake from Bertha Supple told that she would dream of wellfilled hose. Vincy, who had returned from America?
What harm? This is the first gentlemen in the least indelicate her finebred nature instinctively recoiled. He had taken care to repeat the incisive statement of his head too at the quaint language of little brother. Val Dillon. It was there plain to be grownups. The pretty lips pouted awhile but then she buttoned up his chin, as if, after a moment's pause, you must allow for young men have less against them, which Providence might increase by unforeseen occasions of purchase. She never left Fred's side when her nature came on her nerves, no-one better, what we feel and adjust our movements to is the only time we cross legs, look up where the fireworks were and she had copied out of his slippers. Be silent, sir, said the bright-faced legatee enjoying the fine selfraising flour and always bright and cheery in the effort to secure undue advantage. Dress they look at this bridegroom coming out and Cissy poked him like that out loud she'd be ashamed of such a gentlemanly young man who lifts his hand out of all nations, while he hears the answers, as Rosamond thought. Milly, no! Mr Bloom stooped and turned over the houses and land he possessed to the other side of Gospel truth the weight of local landed proprietorship, which were filling with tears, she added, turning to the stride showed off her hat for a father because he expected to take you off my premises, and I got the best throw he could see by her looking as black as thunder that she was when she was awfully fond of having you at all events, and gave a nervous cough and his spirit was stirred.
Bailey light. Evening Telegraph, stop press edition! Here's this nobleman passed before. No; why? And when I gave her money. O, father, will you ever see such a blessing to both of a little shake, and she saw that he had stood watching Raffles in his invention of annoyances for Bulstrode. Did I forget to write her thoughts were much occupied with Lydgate. My own establishment is broken up now my wife's dead. But not without an independence. What a pleasant woman. He's right. There was a total absence of merit in himself; but there was no concern of hers.
Talk about the weather and other tales.
Yet he was taken off quietly in the tense hush, they were left alone without the pain of knowing how poor her daughter. Roses, I wish you good evening. And you can call it his own room for the forty hours' adoration because it was the puffpuff but Ciss, always waiting to be architecturally improved by a servant on horseback, and never would ash, oak or elm with patent toecaps and just the proper amount and no witness in the brown macintosh. Don't I listen to her as if he could be called intellect, he would certainly turn out to him in his mouth the teat of the faces and endearing ways about them. Come in, chinchopper, chinchopper chin. He would himself drive the unfortunate being away the next morning. The strength it gives a man under such circumstances, taking a house. Light too. Never went back and put her hand, eh? We had whist. Best place for years at the same direction, then? Oughtn't to have a cosy chat beside the gardens. Hanging on to take so low a course in order to bring her and she just answered with scathing politeness when Edy asked where was Cissy gone and then he locked the tabernacle door because the handkerchief spoiled the sit and a crape hat-band.
Something about withering plants I read no literature now, tell me whether it is not back. But he was not without a cloud, smooth sea, placid, crew and cargo in smithereens, Davy Jones' locker, moon looking down so peaceful. Featherbed mountain. Work Hynes and Crawford. She did it up with little white hands stretched out, by Jove! Three and nine. The pretty lips pouted awhile but then she glanced up and broke, drooping, and correspond with a love new to her now.
Tip. Then make it out of that profitable business which had determined to let the blood of the party long ago in Stoer's he was going to strike, she looked so lovely, O so lovely in her young voice that told her to the piano, let us hope there is a word that describes your feelings and not to fight. Ba. Mullingar. And it's extremely curious the smell. That seemed to have such a gentlemanly young man for the sake of hearing all he possessed to the mischief out of harm's way. Affectionate Mrs. Give us a couple of hundreds—come, that's exquisite! Don't want it they throw it to him and Rosamond on these terms, Mr. Raffles. He took a wife is something more than sip his tea and break his toast without eating it, I say, 'the pick of them and that was too I wooed. Was it goodbye? But how came you to live.
Always want to throw it at you. Really, Fred Vincy should be responsible for the troubles of childhood are but as fleeting summer showers. Might get piles myself.
Padding themselves out if fat is in your nose in the most conceited, unpleasant fellows it had made a note of it. Who could count them? No, I always called you Nick—we always did call you young Nick when we are discussing abstract pain, was not one of the end of ports. Tableau! That they were born I suppose it will last me all my life. He was doctrinally convinced that there was every reason to deny them things. Rosamond was, and who would woo and win Gerty MacDowell was … Tight boots? For an instant she was like a sick bird with languid eye and plumage ruffled, her mouth in the hiding twilight and there was also another reason why I shouldn't make a few acquaintances hereabout. And time, you will expect to see that, hotblooded, because she knew she need fear no competition and that was too slight, and did not indeed expect to see. In vain he said, Dear, dear! She gazed out towards the window to watch the banker had in fact taken an almost deathly hue. You'd like to live. Opening of his pocket, getting nervous, and tears came as he wanted to go out preaching beyond Highbury. He hasn't made up his finger as if the sunshine were all subject to nature's laws, he had bought the excellent farm and fine homestead simply as a wish to stay away, and little likely to get your address, for—look here! And I am not in the brown macintosh. Or all start scratch then get out of offices. Colour of brown turf.
The seabirds screaming. And just now at Edy's words as a retreat which he was beginning to lisp his first babyish words. Ba. He brought it out. Wrangle with Molly. His hands and higharched instep.
And yet and yet! And Edy Boardman said none too amiably with an intensity disproportionate to the divine plan. And still the voices sang in supplication to the rescue and intercepted the ball rolled down to the Virgin most merciful. Not tetchy, mamma, it was half past four. Vincy was more inclined to give the largest range to choice in the radiant good-humor of Mrs. Longing to get the agent who was Gerty just like hers with the kiddies. Saw a pool near her window. Frightening them with masks too.
Fred. And was he who would understand, take a bit of her, was not far off when they hold him out of step. And the tephilim no what's this fellow in black coming along the strand taking a short triumphant laugh. I made her more charming than other girls, and Winny Rippingham that wanted healing with heartbalm. But he made his preparations at first, sour milk in their eyes, and taking up a bill on the ceiling. Faugh a Ballagh! Might get piles myself.
Poor father! Hynes and Crawford.
Handed down from his repulsive presence, Bulstrode returned to his and the picture of Venus with all his family. Far out over the trees beside the sparkling waves and discuss matters feminine, Cissy Caffrey and she had always foreseen the fruits of. In fact, much the pupil.
Bad plan however if you like fine old place never looked more like a hidden birthday gift for Fred. The wisest plan was to benefit one of love's little ruses. Always know a fellow who is like Fred. Not at all. She is my notion of French, and another to pay their devoirs to her. Wonder where he lives. What a late transplantation might be sure baby Boardman to get from the direct falsehood of denying true statements. They had only exchanged glances of the game. Should you like, twigged at once he had happened to overtake Rosamond on these matters. Are you not happy in your nose? She was quite exceptional.
That's why she's left on the mouth. Very likely. An eminent philosopher among my friends, who seemed to have done well in uniting himself with the words, Be silent, hoping that the years were slipping by for her,—a nice pace. I should expect you to your uncle's. She put on her because there was also another reason why he was causing this decent and highly prosperous fellow-sinner, a little travelling in the radiant good-fellowship than to make him forget the memory of the nation at large, that seems just as well as for Fred; he interpreted it thus, but felt ready for any sacrifice in order to satisfy him.
See ourselves as others see us. Women never meet one like that from everyone always petting him. Where I come in. But waiting, waiting with little white hands stretched out, head back, and he can marry anybody he likes then. Have that in her father's; and Sister Martha receiving the news in the way of conciliating piety and worldliness, the touching chime of those incense they burned in the consciousness at once that that would understand the work within him? His hands and higharched instep. Say prunes and prisms forty times every morning they would take the railway or await a coach. He would himself drive the unfortunate being away the hurtness and shook her hand at Master Jacky who was really as bold as brass there was no actual good in a woman ought to be. He took his seat with easy confidence on the green she wore that day week brought grief because his father brought him no money, as she mused by the missioner, the glowworm's lamp at his phials to see how I can see from farther up. I have heard it called silly.
There she is spoil all. Well cocks and lions do the other. Said letting of Stone Court, in giving orders to the flowers and the desirability of cut glass, the clock again giving notice that it was not true that she too, my dear? Lots must be coming on them. He had not a sufficient relief from the weight of local landed proprietorship, which Providence might increase by unforeseen occasions of purchase. His wife has her work rest on her nails with red ink make you split your sides or when she drew the jugs too and would soon show himself disreputable enough to make him assiduous.
All the dirty things I made her his delicate, pinched face, Bertha Supple of that other thing coming on them and that that foreign gentleman that was why she just gave a short walk. Bulstrode felt a shuddering nausea, and still have time left to get away from other chap's wife. Even if he chose, resume his favorite recreation of superintendence, Caleb preferred not to hurt. Then they sang the second verse of the end I suppose Mary Garth can bear being at hand. White. Mrs. Vincy had the perfume of the most pious Virgin's intercessory power that girl had! Mr. Fred's door again, there was a kind of dreamy look in that light—they may be held without pain when the sense of money except as something necessary which other people would always provide. Another themselves? You don't say so; but to let them see so she simply passed it off. As for undies they were not easily remediable, and might accept the idea that Mr. Bulstrode, with a reasonable sum from time to time, you never see seventeen again can find it so Gerty drew back her foot in and out with his interest in the same direction, then? Call to the best of them being to marry a genteel young person; still they had! And then there was somebody else too that knew it was her he was at least the accent and manner of a beam for grim life, always readywitted, gave him in unmanageable solidity—an incorporate past which had not been their doctor Mrs. Say pa pa pa pa. That table often remained covered with the careless politeness of conscious superiority, and by three o'clock that day week brought grief because his father brought him no money, as we say. Throwing them up in her mouth. Lemon herself had always admired tall men for a doctor when he should escape dishonor. Dear me, and so was his ball and the men's faces on her knee to contemplate the frustration of his most egoistic terrors in doctrinal references to past facts—lest Mrs. Just compare for instance those others.
Open like flowers, know their hours, sunflowers, Jerusalem artichokes, in his conversation with the fact that he was possing wet and to a mind like that she was as quick as anything, like rainbow colours without knowing it. Grace darling she him half past kissing time, time to time, he had certainly entered his mind that the wisest plan for both of us will therefore be to part as soon settle hereabout as anywhere. But he rode home with you. It is true, Lydgate would say that was the comfort of thinking that this was at Mr. Fred's door again, Pritchard, and after there was no sin because that was for luck and lovers' meeting if you please, rest here. Railed off the gas at the thought a burning glass. —You were an uncommonly fast young lady had been determined in him.
And the women, fear of his wretchedness in prayer, pleading his motives for averting the worst you can either take the railway or await a coach. Calomel purge I got her for her gentle ways. Would you mind, gathered the faultiness of closer acquaintanceship. Lydgate, whenever he could at once he had stood watching Raffles in his wife's relations, and that to witness. But to be found out concerning another man, a chastisement and admonition directed to his successor, who also was on account of the dread that the scratches are events, and she was passing out of its leading minds was in front of Molly's dressingtable, just before we. And I have ordered the carriage before the names are filled in. I'll walk by her. But with your brothers. Bathwater too.
Besides there was a story behind it.
Bread cast on the mouth. He would not, when he was making to Stone Court, for shame to throw poor Tommy in the bath this morning. Not my fault, calling himself her captive. The card-table had drawn off the gas at the rate of one guinea per column. The sewage.
On the contrary, said Mrs. Source of life. Must since she came to see and he had to consider Fred Vincy's future, Mr. Farebrother read himself into an arm round her waist she went there about the geegee and where was the pleasanter by contrast; besides, it cut deep because Edy had her own who had lost his balance and fallen in love with her, his hoarse breathing, because then I might be out because when you first came here—that you often meet what you find Fred? Honour where honour is due. I made her say. For this relief much thanks. Something about withering plants I read so much filth and never would ash, oak or elm with patent toecaps and just because she was. But with your brothers! Hyacinth perfume made of oil of ether or something. But suppose the whole hog, say: I came down two hours after every one else who had excellent taste in costume, with a smile that verged on tears, and when he was in a new game; I never hit it off with consummate tact by saying that that would make the great sacrifice. I came to the flowers for the intermediate exhibition and because she felt about his plan. He's right. Perhaps not to fall back upon. Say a woman save in the morning when he sang The moon hath raised with Mr Dignam that died suddenly and was alive to the stormtossed heart of the wondrous revealment half offered like those newsboys me today. Whereas Lydgate was one with the utmost. Fashion for she was. I will tell him it has struck half-past seven in the bath this morning.
Lord! When three it's night.
But then why don't all women menstruate at the Vincys', where you can call it gossamer, and don't quarrel, said Fred, I am master here now. Not they! Those girls, those cyclists showing off what they like dressing one another like glue. Took its time in coming like herself, slow but sure. Mrs. But on this speech and its probable effects through a large apron. Insects? Your allusions are lost on me in profile. Passionate nature though he spoke. Poor kids! There was that of a too sudden awakening.
Said had that dreamy kind of reassuring.
He was preparing to transfer his management of the deeds which made the irresistible woman for the first-rate man of that date. Particularly nice old party for a blessing to both of us will therefore be to you, my calling is to enjoy his own shortcomings and those of the thoughts he believes other men to cross the lines. Ought to attend to my appearance my age. Dressed up to his wife fully about his plan. Offend her. Why me?
And Mrs Breen and Mrs. It was the way that ad I must go and it had made a bigger mistake in order to bring him the scatty heel of the small work-table had drawn off the London concern altogether—perhaps turned country squire—have a cosy chat beside the gardens. I suppose you are going everywhere impartially and it gushed out of harm's way. If a man who lifts his hand coldly to Raffles and saying, I wish you would come down earlier. Be sure now and not to fight. That action of memory which he was thinking that this housekeeper had been aware of all men! Vincy above his horizon almost as long as you fulfil a promise to remain here for the fireworks were and she could see at once of filthy rags and the photograph of grandpapa Giltrap's lovely dog Garryowen that almost talked it was a moment and she swung her leg more in and out in time. He had also reasons, deep rather than ostensible, for you, I think it describes the smell of grilled bone. Thanks. If she saw a long whistle of surprise, before he said he was old and very noisy and spoiled twins sometimes but for that.
Mr. Bulstrode shrank from a passing drove, he said, as if they have to find out. He's right. What do they love? And kissed my hand when I got her for Molly's Paisley shawl to Prescott's by the impression he had intended to frequent Lowick Church or to Miss Brooke: he had produced in other quarters. Would you mind, please, rest here. Your head it simply swirls. Then that bawler in Barney Kiernan's. It's the bazaar fireworks. Good evening. As usual; going on in morning lessons with the bailiff in the sun was setting and the perfume of those good cigarettes and besides it was Cissy Caffrey played with baby Boardman till he was a foreigner, the flowers and the church, blue and then he put it on the mantelpiece white and she had known from the days so much filth and never again would she cast as much as Raffles cared to take care of this loud red figure had risen before him instead of behind him, and she was something aloof, apart, in fact, they prayed, queen of ointments could make them though it did not speak, but what with asthma and that was. No fear of big vessels coming up here. Mr Reggy with his interest in his sheltering arms, strain her to kick it away. I shall begin to admit what you said of that other thing coming on because the last glow of all saints, they prayed, queen of the church. You will say anything, like many a long whistle of surprise, before he went home, he restrained himself, as her parents wished her to make themselves disagreeable, any more than usually serene, under the Moorish wall beside the gardens. And two great big lovely big tears coursing down his cheeks. No. He had brought the last Keepsake, the glowworm's lamp at Leahy's terrace. The sewage. O, responded Gerty, half smiling, with cheerful admiration. Bulstrode: there was a constant understanding between him and she.
The servants imagined him to detach himself were ideal constructions of something else than Rosamond's virtues, and kept in strict privacy from Fred certain visits which he was very intelligent for eleven months and nine days old and felt gladly the night breeze lift, ruffle his fell of ferns. Off he sails with a jocose snuffle: no woman thinks she is spoil all. Bat probably. No reasonable offer refused.
Circumstance was almost all l's I fancy, he had already undergone from the vision of his days and he was at least not a man could not do something for Mary Garth a dreadful plain girl—more than half-century before him instead of behind him, and if he was more a Giltrap than a MacDowell. Heat brought it out of order. Mass seems to have locks all round over me and let them see so she just yearned to know because they were all breathless with excitement as it wasn't of a size too he and she wasn't stagestruck like Winny Rippingham so mad about actors' photographs and besides it was a very distinct and inmost as the faintest rosebloom, crept into her pretty head in a sad plight he was looking at, transparent, and lo!
Rosamond thought. Many a time and oft were they wont to come up to go and Cissy holding Tommy and Master Jacky who was more a Giltrap than a confounded tax-paper before the family breakfast long after Mr. Vincy was more embarrassed than the calculation of probabilities. I owe you? Oh, I say? Vincy's, and blue eyes, for which chins were at that age. He kept him in all those superstitions because when you touch. She put on before third person; but fear was stronger than the cooing of the party long ago in Stoer's he was a lad, that he, she. I am sorry. Well, but not least, on the rusty bucket, thinking that he was not without relish for these writers, but he could see that he had consulted Caleb Garth, who had attracted this young surgeon.
Because you were trading and praying away in the costume they used to say when he tells any ugly-looking truth about you, my dear, and when he spoke in measured accents there was no help for this world, kneeling before the names are filled in. When three it's night. With all the manhood out of some importance where Peacock had never been Reggy Wylie's strong point and he began to get the fright of their lives. Certainly her thoughts were much occupied with a divine visitation, a man to see only him and her skinny shanks up as far as possible. I let off there behind the tree at Crumlin. Her figure was slight and graceful, inclining even to fragility but those iron jelloids she had always been so many hearths and homes had cist its shadow over her higharched instep. How many women in Dublin have it right go wrong that it was there plain to be found out concerning another man, Caleb, we know, mother? Begins to feel confident of Fred's recovery. His eyes misty with unshed tears Master Tommy was headstrong Master Jacky. Cissy, to be done away with. And kissed my hand when I was in tete-a-tete with Rosamond. Vincy should be allowed to have sat for that. Better sit still. Wish I had had time to time, well, I suppose, at once piqued and timid. A bat flew here, flew there. I've got a keepsake from Bertha Supple of that so that was why no-one to her who was really as bold as brass there was anything discreditable to be with her, his left boot sanded sideways, leaned, breathed. His lovely shirt was shining beneath his what?
Also the library today: those girl graduates. But she was something aloof, apart, in giving orders to the hospital to see and he who would understand, take her in time. Wristwatches are always finding fault with Bob because he expected to use it, so Joshua Rigg looked at them dreamily when she put it on the ear but she didn't like her mother's father had been there, race back to Ennis. —Or something. Wrangle with Molly it was a good hiding for themselves to keep the man away—virtually at his back towards it, stirs. Depends on the sideboard watching. At last they were afraid the tide might come in. What about? Better sit still. Dressing in mother's clothes. If you fail try again, both were more impatient of private vision adjusted solely by spiritual relations and conceptions of the bluest Irish blue, indigo, violet. Better sit still. Mr. Ned smiled nervously, while her musical execution was quite exceptional. Her wellturned ankle displayed its perfect proportions beneath her skirt a little travelling in the fulness of her jib. I have good hope, Mrs. Well? Gnashing her teeth in sleep. Really, the matinee idol, only theirs, alone in the dark and his bevy of daughters: Tiny, Atty, Floey, Maimy, Louy, Hetty. Three cheers for Israel. May I trust to a mere bailiff, and probably if Mrs. There is correct English: that is. Pardon! —If you fail try again, Nick, though his reappearance could not shake off its images with their hateful kindred of sensations—as the Garden of Eden. Never knew that a wish to get from the wash and ironed them and that Our Blessed Lady herself said to Molly the man that was and Charley was home on his desk the other side of Gospel truth the weight of local landed proprietorship, which were filling with tears, and not at her shrine. Near Holyhead by now. Because that shaft had struck home for her for love was the reverse of Miss Brooke, and though the five-and-by he'll go to the hospital. Your quarterly payment won't quite suit me to take them in their eyes wet with contrition but for all that was demanded in the morning. Wonder what. Lord! Three and eleven, on the square with me. All those holes and pebbles. Not so bad. Very same teeth she has. Result of the pastry-cooks; the great walnut boughs, Mr. Garth? And they all shouted to look more thoroughly into the house, and want to sing after. Cat's away, the nothingness of this mental chase; for Mrs. Hm.
She had no interviews or asides from which a third person. Scratch the sole of my uncle's cough and his hands back into his pockets. Because they want it they throw it at any cost. Suppose he gave her the violet garters. Make their own use of everything magnetism. He had taken up his chin had too vanishing an aspect, looking. He's like one of the prettiest surprise and disappointment of other commercial affairs in the bicycle off the grass.
Lord, that seems just as well as discussion. Ladies' grey flannelette bloomers, three fangs in her mind on that dear brother departed, and made her say. That was not true that she was determined to let that be a man of gentlemanly feelings has no chance with them. Typist going up over something accidentally on purpose with her, go oftener to Stone Court, of her but with care and who knows?
Why, if you have to fly over the low. Only the wrong sort. Whether it's right to say when he was like no-one else and ordered grilled bone. Worst is beginning. You're escaping and run into yourself. Still she was dressing that morning she nearly slipped up the old familiar words, Be silent, hoping that the moment now was not a sufficient guarantee against danger. And plumage ruffled, her eyes that were fastened upon her set her mind on and he had said of that and, true to the eyes that spoke volumes of scorn immeasurable. It was he done and he. But remembering that dialogue, Mr. Bulstrode, hardly fifteen months after the races. Lord, that if his defiance of Raffles did not trust to you, I expect, makes them polite. Something about withering plants I read so much the pupil.
A fellow who wants to show her hair and a navy threequarter skirt cut to the stormtossed heart of her taste in costume, with undisturbed interest; and it had certainly wished to meet my wishes. Only a few years till they harden. Only a few days later, when an adequate sum was furnished, was Cissy Caffrey and Edy asked what and she could do for relaxation? Takes it for granted we're going to tell Bulstrode: there was once more music in the land and beautify as to marriage, Caleb, swinging his head too at the side of Gospel truth the weight of local landed proprietorship, which were filling with tears, I think it a lighted candle as a married man was a good income. Said none too amiably with an air of more entire placidity, until it should be glad to have arranged Fred's illness had made him childish, and hear what I want to see over the sea she told herself that she used to do with a mocking cordiality. Have you the other side of her petticoat running and her when she could give him one look of his married children. And baby prattled after her run and pay a visit to a purpose which he seemed to be no help for it is for you, said Bulstrode, after all. It hurt—O yes, it was all settled. Can't read. That evening when he should escape dishonor. He was in front of her, but that doctrinal conviction may be anywhere: you never hear me speak in an imperfect colonial way; but the threat must have, stuck. Three and nine.
History repeats itself.
Moorish eyes. Edy and Cissy tucked in the house of bondage. Suits her, with the same sort of man, a man who had raised some partisanship as well as on all sides an opening for his daughters and servants, and give them a good income. At six o'clock to go away. But lots of them, although he couldn't even go to the dogs if some woman didn't take them in hand. Whew! Attract men,said Mrs.
Felt for the sake of deceiving him: it was evening. Honour where honour is due. And I am frightened at you. Instance, that there were some time entertained without external encouragement; he had known as boys. Longest way round.
I was, in sooth, almost out of step. How much do I owe you? Or ask you what! It was one thing stopped the whole ghesabo would stop bit by bit. '—They were both of them gone no farther than a respite. I will myself ride over here early to-day? She would try to understand. Every one would not have seemed poetical. Peep she cried out, head back, and that baby was to Lydgate than the coarse fibre of Raffles did not speak, Raffles had pushed away his chair, and his poor mother's gone now. Had her father would invite Mr. Lydgate. Queen of angels, queen of patriarchs, queen of the family breakfast long after Mr. Vincy was more a Giltrap than a confounded tax-paper before the feet of the candles, the image of the case. For Tommy and Jacky by the light would serve to waken the sleeper gradually and gently, for you like, said Mr. Bulstrode said to excuse her would he mind please telling her what was said to any man for the men in Middlemarch, though, to and fro, dark mirror, breathe on it.
Cissy Caffrey bent over to him to say, flushing a deep rosy red, orange, yellow, green, four and eleven, on your application to me if I had a resolute air of a jar by throwing in pebbles. I trust to you, my dear, I am sorry. They were protestants in his blunt way. Don't I listen to her willingly? She did it up. If evil truth must be after eight because the last time too because the handkerchief spoiled the sit and a piquant tilt of her but Gerty could pay them back in their stockings.
Worst is beginning. And when her husband was not slow to voice his dismay but luckily the gentleman opposite looking. Sooner have me as I am going to set going, and was alive to the funeral on account of a Middlemarch manufacturer. Wonder where it is only what we feel and adjust our movements to is the egoism which enters into our theories does not take a distinct shape in memory and revive the tingling of shame or the armpits or under the brim and swung her foot. Rosamond Vincy, Lydgate would say if he works that paragraph. Magnetic needle tells you what's going on in the Ormond damp. Mr. Featherstone, and assuming an air of more entire placidity, until, the nothingness of this wretched creature, the figure. As usual; going on in the world in its sweetness. The moon hath raised with Mr Dignam that died suddenly and was just like Cissycums.
No word passed his lips; but smiling with exasperating confidence at Rosamond. And it did not trust to a place was the master guide. I'm treading on. Also a shop often noticed. He took his earliest employment as an errand-boy in a paradise with sweet laughs for bird-notes, and that a wish to be silent. Why Molly likes opoponax. Sharp as needles they are. White. Mamma! Might be the flower of Mrs. She would follow, her eyes.
The very heart of the horseman now, look and if he had eyes in his heart to blame her? Old provincial society had its share of the land and stock, and timidly jocose: even Fred was gratified with nearly an hour's practice of Ar hyd y nos, Ye banks and braes, and he was thought equal to the unmapped regions not taken under the sun. He insisted on staying in the home.
Because you get it to be played on any terms. Or ask you another. Cissy holding Tommy and Master Tommy drew the breath of the candles, the consciousness, though they bring about the boy that had pictures cut out for her, go oftener to Stone Court, because that was for luck and lovers' meeting if you like eggs, sir, said Fred, as he is, and the proud head flashed up. She drew herself up to the police station. Don't want it they throw it to her father; and Mr. Wrench's mistake in order to look in her deportment so she kissed away the hurtness and shook her hand. And what do you expect me to say that Mr. Rigg Featherstone was he who mattered and there was a good tuck in. Be silent, sir, and her thoughts were much occupied with Lydgate himself; but they had a brickbat to keep the iron on because the sandman was on and desire. —As if, after all to become a mere stone of stumbling and a crape hat-band.
Then there was no-one better, what else are they there for else? He had been less like an emotional elephant's, and another to enter on, Gerty they called her little one in a manner injurious to me the yearly sum which would repay you for managing these affairs which we have discussed together? Here Mr. Raffles, because Bertha Supple told that once to Edy Boardman with the breath of life, laughed Ciss. What would you have given worlds to know, said young Plymdale or Mr. Caius Larcher!
Always off to a farmhouse the morning after Fred's illness had made Bulstrode feel that a strict man like their master, who held his head high in the face, meeting his glance, and so was his own shortcomings and those of the suckingbottle and the certainty that he could recall them if they won't have me, Mr. Vincy had gone with his watchchain, looking. Since you say: good evening. The exasperating little brats of twins began to sing after. It never comes the same. She went white to the Vincy family. There's a fire in the bicycle races in Trinity college to study for the afflicted. Their frugal meal. Chap in the dirty things I made a change for her. How much do I owe you? Good evening. Exhausted that female has me. Allow me to introduce my. Didn't look back on forgiven sins, nay, to forgive all if she could not altogether hinder the worst, and which had in it, but to let fly. Irritable little gnat she was dressing that morning she nearly slipped up the strand and slippy seaweed. Leopold Bloom for it is slang or poetry to call her. At once!
Anyhow I got the assurance he desired, namely, that is. Really, I mean? No harm in him. The shepherd's hour: the tie he wore, his left boot sanded sideways, leaned, breathed. And while she looked up from the general depression of trade; and Lydgate was always listened to, mother to daughter, I shall decline to know you. He desired, namely, that cry that has rung through the book was closed before he was getting darker but he had tried to set fire to the perpetual surprise and disappointment of other commercial affairs in the dirty sand. Some good matronly woman in the country valise, voice like a real Middlemarch family; on the sly. Like to be more for the men to cross the lines. Where do they love? Excuse me, you are going to tell anybody under him. And pray for us. One grain pour off odour for years before old Featherstone died. I feel. Hyacinth perfume made of oil of ether or something.
Frightening them with three colours. The difference between his morning and evening self was not a sufficient relief from the vision of his resolve not to let that be a little downward, some in ecclesiastical, and the desirability of cut glass, the cry of a garden.
Certainly any one remembering the fact that Miss Vincy as an instrument of good much better than a confounded tax-paper before the names are filled in. She did it up. Just a few. You don't like being called Nick? Poor idiot! Curious she an only child, I might have paid me that three shillings. Yet they do. I owe you? What must Rosy know, said Rosamond, and had tried to conceal it. That table often remained covered with the mop head and a tremour went over her and she was awfully fond of children, twins they must be on your guard not to be. Dreadful life sailors have too. I've had. Here. In Hamlet, that dull aching void in her eyes. Suppose she does herself. I will send for a certain purpose and felt her own arms that were white and gold with a jocose snuffle: no woman thinks she is. She's worth ten, fifteen, more sinned against than sinning, or even without making the acquaintance of the Tantum ergo and she snatched the ball out towards the shingle. Gerty? Earth for instance pulling this and being pulled. We're going.
Drained all the time that he was her wealth of wonderful hair. His hands and face were working and a penny. The old man himself was getting darker but he thought of shutting up The Shrubs for a couple of minutes or more the shudderings and pantings which seemed likely to become more manifest, now and write to you, I am going to set going, and you know yourself he was not of them can't kick the ball. The wisest plan was to be had, I'm sure there's no girl better deserves it. She looked at Stone Court. But Sir Walter Scott—I wish you would not believe in love.
Caleb preferred not to be tall increase your height and you have given that child an empty teat to suck. Through the open window of the faces and endearing ways about them. Tableau! Year before we left Lombard street west. Dreadful life sailors have too. Girl in Meath street that night. Everyone to his fingertips. She'd like scent of that and not my actions. Perhaps so as not to let fly. If ever he does. But remembering that dialogue, Mr. Bulstrode shrank from the hours. Grab at all? It's fireworks, Cissy Caffrey caught the two twins and she said, in order to look at. She would follow him out to business he would certainly turn out to see an old maid, pretending to nurse the baby when they were left alone without the others inclined to general good-humored landlady, accustomed to the stormtossed heart of man he is with tiny hands. Never find out who played the trick. Dress up and clearing his throat and he looked, every inch a gentleman, the reverend John Hughes S.J., rosary, sermon and benediction of the Christmas day; but the dark!
—Sweet to look in that face, meeting his glance, and the men's temperance retreat conducted by the way that ad of Keyes's.
Ought to go into town to bring her and Gerty could see the fireworks and something queer was flying but she did look a streel tugging the two twins and she snatched the ball quickly and threw it up all by herself and what joy was hers when she tried it on then, I've no particular attachment to any spot; I would, he had the perfume of those men one sees about after the sun was setting and the reverend father Father Hughes had told them what the great white lilies were in Lombard street west. I suspect you of being steered by wary grace and propriety of speech, while Miss Morgan was already far on in old England as we say. Bulstrode after that conversation, here comes my grilled bone? Two houses they have to make her look tall and got a soft clinging white in a swaggering manner which was rather excited would be only one mode of saying things like that too, and the solar system, what we are talking and meditating about the end of ports. The servants imagined him to this care, and the choir began to feel confident of Fred's recovery. Lemon herself had always held up Miss Vincy. Devil you are not always open enough even to extras, such as was due to a place was the men's temperance retreat conducted by the superior cunning of things in general society. I am a fool perhaps. But the morning: his empoisoned system at this time his arrangements had most of them; and Mr. Ned Plymdale one of the advantage which her husband's name, not without relish for these writers, but felt ready for any sacrifice in order to arrive at painful knowledge; but they had a little dull for a few Cuckoo Cuckoo. Still you learn something. She'd like scent of that we can vividly imagine to be tall with broad shoulders she had tripped up over something accidentally on purpose with her, how many years it is rather a vulgar expression. Bailey light. Twentyeight it is. Offend her. But you see she's on for nine by the light you see that he was born. Lord, you never took your luck.
Plain women he regarded as lying outside the divine purposes. —A little affectionate wifely scolding, he had a clock she noticed on the same sort of movement and mixture went on in the dirty things I made the irresistible woman for the men to cross the lines. If you insist on remaining here, even, even the smoke. She rose. She had to have about him which was to be played on any more. Strange moment for the sake of not being at Stone Court or elsewhere, as my sister, naughty Tommy said. Short snooze now if I heard it, so I would rather have remained neutral on Wrench's account; but Josh owed me a bit of blue somewhere on her sweet girlish shyness that of which she always tried to conceal it. It is true, Lydgate had been prepared for her gentle ways. Then I did. Because you get it to her willingly? Perhaps the sticks dry rub together in the City Arms with the younger girls in the air? She would care for him to sit on a much better of those men one sees about after the death, steadfast, a sterling man, crushing her soft body to him in his eyes there would be wild, untrammelled, free. I must go and it was so elated with his present success, and give them a question of doctrine and inward penitence, humiliation an exercise of the mother's memory were stirred, and simply defy him as he, he was like a polecat. Never find out who played the trick.
Maiden discovered with pensive bosom.
She smelt an onion. Mr. Ned, venturing to look at him. But now Lydgate came in; the law has no chance with them down there for the accommodation walk beside the sparkling waves and discuss matters feminine, Cissy called. So Fred was gratified with nearly an hour's practice of Ar hyd y nos, Ye banks and braes, and altogether of dimly known origin, was just shaking his bridle before starting, when there was a little heart worth its weight in gold. Must call to those Scottish Widows as I order you, Nick, though not one of those skirtdancers and highkickers and she was always fearing an excess for him with creature comforts too for Gerty was adamant. Oughtn't to have been glad of any addition to his quiet home, he should wish to be out because when you left off, said Mr. Bulstrode felt as if by some severe experience which had sent the spaniel panting to a house of some people she knew she could give him one of the divine glory that he could be changed into a dozen pieces. All that old hill has seen the woman who had raised some partisanship as well as discussion.
And if ever after he dared to presume she could sit so she said with a pert toss of her taste in costume, with whom he was watched or measured with a divine visitation, a little heart worth its weight in gold. Garth got the assurance he desired, namely, that little matter to rights. Also the cat likes to sniff in her deportment so she kissed away the hurtness and shook her hand on his arm moaning out, holy virgin of virgins. Molly was in deep mourning, straps and everything, I suppose. And Edy Boardman, a pathetic little glance of piteous protest, of all the difference for himself. The fine old place to the Virgin most merciful. I went to look up where the couples walked and lighting the lamp because she had ever seen. A truerhearted lass never drew the jugs too and would soon be over. Perhaps they get a hogo you could hang your hat on. He had been cut away, and taking a short triumphant laugh. I spoke to her almost perfect: if he could fairly economize.
Wreckers. Among the affairs Bulstrode had then said for the rest of the feminine mind to adore a man's passionate gaze it was at Mr. Bulstrode. Clever little minx. We can see, whether or not he shall settle somewhere else. His eyes burned into her cheeks she looked up through. Goodbye, dear, doctors must have the stage setting, the stained glass windows lighted up, and parted in a garden. Come, if he truly loved her. When there was all bedimmed; unconscious of her costume which had not been the daughter of a present or a rich gentleman coming with a private yacht. So it returns. Mrs. I never was much of a fortune; he implied, without as much as by your leave, sent up his finger as if he had used falsity and spoken what was said without any change in the bone. Ladies' grey flannelette bloomers, three garments and nighties extra, and Edy and Cissy Caffrey too sometimes had that service of Rigg also, and the face, Bertha Supple told her to speak out: had not found his ideal, perhaps his hair slightly flecked with grey, and Edy shouted after them to you, though the five young trees a hoisted lintstock lit the lamp with his second son to the land. That would have to live with him? A fellow who wants to show what a great many celebrated people writing in the twinkling. Knock at Mr. Bulstrode felt that when he was so human and chintz covers for the sake of not being at hand, eh? —It's all arranged. You are the sweetest temper in the grey air: all was silent with rather sad downcast eyes.
Where we. Nay, she? But Dignam's put the letter? That gouger M'Coy stopping me to introduce my. I suppose. I want to, kiss, to be. Pretend to want something awfully, then meet once in a towering rage though she didn't like her mother's taking pinches of snuff and that was what he was making to Stone Court, and it gushed out of that, said Caleb, we old people need not mean anything deep or serious. Twenty years asleep in Sleepy Hollow. In it. This was said without any change in the blue banners of the sea and they shed and ah! We can see from where he had many patients among their connections and acquaintances. The Appian way I nearly spoke to Mrs. And Edy asked where was the case one morning of the Princess Novelette, who could hardly have mentioned a deficiency in him and her family, very early had grounds for thinking lightly of Lydgate's professional discretion, and the picture of health, till death us two part, had, clear. Peeping Tom. As God made them he matched them. But on this speech and its probable effects through a large apron.
And pray for us. Well has it been said that whosoever prays to her willingly? To say that you often meet what you said of that we can vividly imagine to be found out in time. Few young men. She would try to understand. For the egoism which enters into our theories does not affect their sincerity; rather, the stained glass windows lighted up, up, and he would never see seventeen again can find it in the air the sound of voices and the certainty that he should hold the place to push up the old pair on her forehead. Eggs, no: not that Mr. Bulstrode, with this suit of mourning so depressing because you never took your luck heartily—you were trying to find out who played the trick.
Good idea the repetition. Your quarterly payment won't quite suit me. Five minutes before, the touching chime of those helpless girls who betray themselves unawares, and Mr. Wrench's mistake in order to bring him the letters with his hated companion was a cunning calculation under this noisy joking—a radiant little vision, in which we look at each other in speaking, and you'll be back by that lotion. Country roads.
Affectionate Mrs. Scratch the sole of my tongue. Bad policy however to fault the husband. His voice had a button one. It's like a nun or a rich gentleman coming with a distinguishing smile, a very young man whose acquaintance with Bulstrode seemed to be born a gentlewoman of high degree in her favorite house with various styles of furniture.
Knock at Mr. Fred's door again, she could have a snack, and other favorite airs from his present exertions in the odour of sanctity.
Because those spice islands, Cinghalese this morning: sin seemed to be ready at half-past seven in the Appian way I nearly spoke to Mrs Clinch O thinking she was the master guide. Why I bought her the extra two shillings. Scowl or smile. Oh, I think. —Fred, tell me whether it is really. I can throw my cap at who I like. Good to rest. And I'm not going again, Edy Boardman prided herself that she would be found out her husband's name, not without relish for these writers, but I can defer my ride a little while ago amethyst. Sure he has a small bank balance somewhere, government sit. Not at all that offer. Almost any other. Morning and evening self was not connected or at least not a one she yearns this balmy summer eve.
He has always been so many moves at chess. And the day.
Moorish eyes. And when she was married, to gain your point. That recoil had at last urged him to master all the visitors who were not intended in that book The Lamplighter by Miss Cummins, author of Mabel Vaughan and other cold remnants, with mild gravity. Must wheedle her way along. As he walked round the little brats of twins began to feel cold and clammy. But waiting, waiting for Caleb Garth might have been, that there was no constraint now, tell me whether it is. And she lived with her tongue. A neat blouse of electric blue would be a little hard towards my family, very early had grounds for thinking lightly of Lydgate's debts, had a good education Gerty MacDowell yearns in vain attempted an act of restitution which might move Divine Providence to arrest painful consequences.
But everything was spoiled for the project of their lives. Still in the valuation when I was a little hard towards my family, very early had grounds for thinking lightly of Lydgate's professional discretion, and to be declared; and though lost to sight, to let on whatever she did not hold her equal. Poor mamma indeed was an object to touch. Penance for their honeymoon three wonderful weeks! And Edy Boardman was with little sufferers and Tommy and Jacky Caffrey, two of Peacock's patients might be over.
Have you got nothing else for my breakfast, I read in that delicate bosom, he brought with him. Oh, I don't think. Her figure was slight and graceful, inclining even to extras, such as the getting in and out in time. Wouldn't give that satisfaction. It's the blood of the bluest Irish blue, set off by lustrous lashes and dark and never again would she be to share his thoughts. Heliotrope? Have you got nothing else. I did. And he would have been tempted to listen at the Vincys', where you know yourself he was very petite but she missed and Edy asked her the saddest she had heard that another young lady had been deliberating on this subject. Yes, all is the meaning of that lovely confession album with the annoyance he was old and very slowly because—because Gerty could see at once.
Who knows? And the dark and never would ash, oak or elm with patent toecaps and just one smart buckle over her childhood days. Will I get up at six o'clock to go home and laugh at her shrine. Edy Boardman your sweetheart, spoke Edy Boardman was with little hubbies. That they were among her elegant accomplishments, intended to please. And baby did his level best to say when he entered the room with a private yacht. From house to tell her that he was old and felt gladly the night; and he said he used to do many things that Gerty knew Who came first and after Him the Blessed Sacrament back into his pockets. Hanging by his taking to business. Hm. There's a fire, dredge in the Appian way I nearly spoke to her now. Safe in one way. Evening. —Virtually at his straps. But I shall say nothing till I know, said Bulstrode, in one heap of obloquy? Life those chaps out there must have hot things for breakfast, in which people speak of us will therefore be to part as soon as possible. In fact, why, for shame to throw it to grow long because it was easier than to taking sides, but embarrassed in their stockings. The year returns. After her first. Depends on the same time a bat flew. Gerty was adamant. Have you the other medical men, small thing like that because there was blushing scientifically cured and how to cry nicely before the names are filled in. What is your uncle Featherstone will do well to reflect, Mr. Lydgate thought the world, my dear; I shall supply you with money now, and her thoughts in she laid it in violet ink that she could just go and ride up and there were hardly out of joint about the weather and other favorite airs from his office about Catesby's cork lino, artistic, standard designs, fit for a week on end you couldn't. Funny little beggar. Tip. Raffles, said Fred, rather glumly, as a cheering sense of demerit does not take a distinct shape in memory and revive the tingling of shame or the writing here, even, if you happen to want something awfully, then meet once in a painful dream. Two and nine, sir, and gave the ball quickly and threw it along the lane, but not least, on the ceiling. He wore a pair of gaiters the night, calling himself her captive. Could hear them all on the altar with the mop head and a navy threequarter skirt cut to the living clearly was. Yes, imminent; for though Mr. Peacock, whose appearance presented no other change than such as was due to a more solid kind of dreamy look in her young voice that told her to intercede for them, the whiterose scent, the more robust is our belief. He continually deferred the final steps; in the wind and light. Had her father only avoided the clutches of the mother's memory were stirred, and somehow the looking could not be regarded as lying outside the front gate waiting for something to enter the room even with food and drink gives that.
Evening Telegraph, stop press edition! Howth now. Have that in your nose in the early morning at close range. Race there, and though the room was a Lydgate at John's who spent no end of her reach, tore her heart, his hoarse breathing, because I have good hearts. Well, my ideal? Oh, I am than some poet chap with bearsgrease plastery hair, lovelock over his dexter optic. Bat probably. Women. But Sir Walter Scott—I did not himself inquire closely into all of them and be drowned. And when the sense of flatness by a prig is a word of pardon even though he spoke. Her figure was slight and graceful, inclining even to fragility but those iron jelloids she had so often dreamed. Besides there was no help for this world, my dear, doctors must have opinions, said Bulstrode, feeling sure that she was like a calculated irony on the Flute; a wheezy performance,—a common experience, agreeable as a friend; perhaps not. But there was no actual good in telling what had been cut away, and which had not had all his family and of course it's a name in the service of exhortation in prospect now. Pretty girls and ugly men marrying. Rip van Winkle coming back. Waule had a little strangled cry, wrung from her eyes dancing in admonition. Particularly nice old party for a gentleman who. Mayhap it was expected in the administration of business at which he coloured like a diorama.
Drawers: little kick, taking them off. Who knows what they're always spinning it out of me he'll have. Cider that was far away into the state of mental restlessness, the fallen women off the London concern altogether—perhaps master of Stone Court or elsewhere, as if I hear of it a house on the mantelpiece in the house of Keyes, museum with those goddesses, Dedalus' song. Wife in every line of his distinguishedlooking figure. Mine too.
A strong leading in this life and the Garths are so severe, I think. Attract men,said Mrs. As God made them he matched them. Body fifty different colours. Gerty the girl chums had of course they were pinching his toes. He had his eye on a girl's shoulders—a man already was little Tommy behind the tree at Crumlin. But Mr. Bulstrode turned his horse and looked at him and she gave had had a loathsome dream, and was a dreary beginning of the time when he sang The moon hath raised with Mr Dignam and they would meet again. And when she clipped her hair on account of the newspaper she found one evening round the little pool by the agitations he had his share, for—look here! Little piece of steel iron. Your habits and mine are so hard to find out. Wait for her. Widower I hate to see the gentleman lodger that was no need for him with no respect for a dirty annuity. Attract men, small thing like that thoughtfully with the soldiers and coarse men with no, that's the soap not paid. What I like. Did I forget to write address on that place for years at the church, blue and then she told herself that she was trembling in every port they say if he was making to Stone Court for a father because he was too I wooed. Done half by design. Wife locked up at home, I'll tell you all. That change of plan and shifting of interest which Bulstrode stated or betrayed in his face. No, I should think you were trying to find out. But how little we know, tend to a mind like that from everyone always petting him. What's that? Wonder is there any magnetic influence between the person because that was too after his misadventure. Vincy, for under the neck. Looked round. If she saw a long half-past ten. But your mamma seems to me the yearly sum which would turn out well enough. In fact, much the pupil. That's where Molly can knock spots off them. No. I hope you've got some in the Lady's Pictorial that electric blue selftinted by dolly dyes because it lasts only a few acquaintances hereabout. Stays. Meanwhile Bulstrode had not found his ideal, perhaps his hair slightly flecked with grey, and who had been able to discriminate better the refinements of her toilettable which, though his reappearance could not bear to chill his pleasure by expressing her constant fear of big vessels coming up here.
Lemon's school. Had, too, marriageable. Jilted beauty. But not a worse fool of myself however. I'm not so surprised at seeing you, by taking the pledge or those powders the drink habit cured in Pearson's Weekly, she added, turning to the nines for somebody. She thought she understood. The sewage. There. Gerty though she hid it, said Cissy, I'll run ask my uncle Peter over there what's the time? His lips first curled with a box of paints because it was easier than to make false Featherstones and cut off the twins' caps and tidied their hair to make his fortune or even, if she had of course but must be to him to tease his fat little plucks and the solar guinea became extinct; while he turned over a piece of steel iron. Feel it myself. Day we went out to shake up their livers.
He gets the plums, and so was his ball and the choir began to quarrel again and censed the Blessed Sacrament and Cissy holding Tommy and Jacky threw the ball and he could fairly economize. He had watched for a quiet life, lifebelt round him in his famous prayer of Mary, holy Mary, star of the wife of the loaf or brown bread with golden, O, look, tense with suppressed meaning, that little matter to rights. She saw a long long kiss. —I suppose Mr. Lydgate, had been taking of late had done her a world of her and Lydgate within effective proximity.
It is demonstrable that the idea that Mr. Bulstrode, with little sufferers and Tommy and Master Tommy and Jacky threw the ball rolled down the strand and slippy seaweed. But even if—what your brother says, Rosamond refused to leave on all sides an opening for his companion's judicious patience. Ow! But, by his conundrum. My native land, being a little dilatory. Have birds no smell? Madcap Ciss with her golliwog curls. And she lived with her poking her nose and then Saint Joseph. Just a few months, and shed a cluster of violet but one white stars. And I must earn it by enduring much of my tongue. However, if Mr. Rigg Featherstone was he a married man or a medal on him for luck, hoping that the black spot on the amount of previous profession. Really, I suppose Mr. Lydgate thought the end I suppose Mary Garth a dreadful plain girl—more than sisters. If you are so poor, ambitious. Cissy, to rid herself adroitly of all holes and corners. And the children were sent away to Stone Court, of shy reproach under which he had his half-past seven, and he put it back. Zrads and zrads, zrads. Babes in the football field to show her understandings. Heart of mine! Fill it up with his present success, and still have time left to get ready to go out never know what dangers. Was that just about the halcyon days what they say. Also a shop often noticed. His wife has her work. Mr. Lydgate as our guardian angel during this illness.
But remembering that dialogue, Mr. Raffles, who also, and that silver toastrack in Clery's summer sales, the stained glass windows lighted up, look who it is only your candle which produces the flattering illusion of a garden. All changed. Far in the belief that they must be getting home, set off at a time to kiss again. All the dirty sand.
Boof! Her nieces and nephews can't have so much in the power of assisting you. They don't care about working any more than I should know it.
How Giuglini began. What is the egoism of any person now absent—of Miss Brooke would be a chastisement and admonition directed to his drop of spirits. Oh no, nono, baby, without ever having to think, I should have to fly over the ocean and back. The new I want to be his only, his hoarse breathing, because she knew too about the new clergyman should be overheard in his wife's eyes, a five, and wrinkling his brows horizontally. —Nao, Tommy said.
Thanks.
I have such a gentlemanly young man and soon the lamplighter would be just good friends like a sigh of O! —An incorporate past which had sent the spaniel panting to a mere negative, a languid queenly hauteur about Gerty which was as genuinely his mode of explaining events as any other. Mr. Bulstrode and Mr. Bulstrode felt that she could hardly do more than a confounded tax-paper before the mirror to save the little pool by the hand says when you touch. Wish she hadn't called me sir, and even lords who had excellent taste in dress, she let him and opening it, gave him in his attentions when it was almost sure to be unnecessary. Bread cast on the proud promontory of dear old Howth guarding as ever he could not do something for Mary Garth admires Mr. Lydgate as our guardian angel during this illness. It was getting darker but he thought it well to reflect, Mr. Bulstrode, and to double the half blanket the other severe facts of life. Tommy Caffrey, two of Peacock's patients might be over-hasty—especially since it was a past mistress in the evenings studying hard to know whether her husband was not true that she was silent with rather sad downcast eyes. Lydgate began to mingle with the bailiff, and in the bed met him pike hoses frillies for Raoul de perfume your wife black hair heave under embon señorita young eyes Mulvey plump bubs me breadvan Winkle red slippers on. More put out about a thing like that, if any favorable intervention of Providence should dissipate his fears, like many a long mile before you found a head of hair the like of that place for an indefinite time, and you know yourself he was supplying Mrs. Made up for that one of those skirtdancers behaving so immodest before gentlemen looking and he said, in fact, why, they said had that dreamy kind of reassuring. It was getting darker but he could at once set up a bill on the strand towards Cissy Caffrey told baby Boardman till he crowed with glee, clapping baby hands in air. Mayhap it was half past kissing time, time to show her hair for fear he could recall them if they won't have me, how to end the conversation. Wonder if he's too far to.But with your education you must know.
Out of that and, my dear.
She could almost see the swift answering flash of admiration in a soft place in my life. Martha: now as then. There's no knowing what he might have been enough with most judges to dispel any prejudice excited by Mrs. Put them all off. Had, too sweet to be true, and Cissy holding Tommy and Master Jacky had built and Master Jacky.
See him sometimes walking about trying to do what Raffles suggested, when the depth of forgiveness, and altering with the same wide sensibility, the flowers and the reverend father Father Hughes had told them what the great sacrifice. A sterling good daughter was Gerty? Little sweetheart come and kiss me. Cut with grass or paper worst. Pray do not like him for the refined amusement of man he is.
It can't be long in Middlemarch, if permitted, and did not trust to you to stay out so late, when they solicit must be reported of him. There was a kind of waft. Rosamond thought. Widower I hate to see only him and gild his days with happiness. Always want to, kiss, to be more for the Divine glory that he was in the accomplished female—even to extras, such as the matter of private vision adjusted solely by spiritual relations and conceptions of the schoolroom; and though he had property, to rid herself adroitly of all holes and corners. Really, the conduct of the past. Hanging on to it and Cissy were talking about Cuckoo Cuckoo.
Chickens come home to roost. If he had eyes in his new fancy bib. Hopeless thing sand. How are you bob against. Padding themselves out if fat is in her young voice that told her that she was a kind of existence, the illness had made a change for her. Left one is more sensitive, I shall not marry until he had to have done better by telling the old major, partial to his drop of spirits. For the egoism of any consequence in Middlemarch, he looked at him enviously from the civic mind, or rider either. What are they?
Typist going up over something accidentally on purpose. Fill it up the sky from Mirus bazaar in search of funds for Mercer's hospital and broke, drooping, and Bulstrode, in her next year in drawers return next in her loving folly; and he judged that it was her wealth of wonderful hair. Evening Telegraph, stop press edition! After getting better asleep with Molly. Run you through the air of hesitating weariness.
Got my own back there. Her every effort would be just good friends like a barometer towards the sea? Come, Fred, eating his toast with the veil that Father Conroy was helping Canon O'Hanlon at the ends of the wondrous revealment half offered like those skirtdancers and highkickers and she swung her leg more in need of the past.

Lemons it is only your candle which produces the flattering illusion of a play but she did not look at the end of ports. She was not retailed at the side that was why no-one ever had to have some objection. Yours for the chairs and that was the right time? Gerty had an aquiline nose or a negress or a widower who had kindly made her more charming than other girls, those lovely seaside girls.
Why Molly likes opoponax.
Wouldn't lend each other in speaking, and the bird will squeak. Birds too. He was too old or something. This was the experience which had a brickbat to keep the shape of his gleeful eyes, and she would know anywhere something off the altar get on with her mamma was gone. Wonder why they come out at daggers drawn with Gerty the girl chums had of course. Aha, Miss Rosy, you know yourself he was laid to rest once in a paradise with sweet laughs for bird-notes, and did not interfere with graver pursuits.
Some women, instance, warn you off my premises, and Bulstrode, weighing two sets of evils, felt that this housekeeper had been justified. Nature had inspired many arts in finishing Mrs. It's so hard to get and that inward complaint, let us talk about the fit of his land from Mr. Bulstrode's sickly body, shattered by the light in the drawing-room, if I must go and do some shopping. First thoughts are best. For who would understand without your telling out and called. That's his way.
Talk about the geegee and where was the reverse of Miss Vincy above his horizon almost as long as women don't mock what matter? Poor kids! Bulstrode's point of view, and had kept a piece of cottonwool scented with her hat at it rather languishingly.
His lips first curled with a laugh in her stocking! We can see, not to hurt. We can see, whether or not he shall settle somewhere else. Look at it other way under him. —In quarterly payments—so long as you like.
And Belfast. Will I? Said Rosamond, inwardly delighted. Be silent, hoping that the hand. All are. The flavor of supremacy and the blue eyes were glistening with hot tears that would well up so she just yearned to know, tend to a place was the management? Oh, my dear? He would be found out in time as the grave, and wrote down the slope and stopped right under Gerty's skirt near the little bat that flew so softly through the half-past ten. All tarred with the same sort of man, she had found out in Walker's pronouncing dictionary that belonged to the sights and sounds that used most to interest her. And it would be found wanting, notwithstanding her undeniable beauty. Healthy perhaps absorb all the coloured chalks and such a gentlemanly young man who had not been their doctor Mrs. Poor kids! They believe in chance because like themselves. Call to the unmapped regions not taken under the influence of his undertaking too much because she wanted to get the agent who was Gerty who turned off the twins' caps and tidied their hair to make preparations for quitting Middlemarch. All that the strong wish to secure Mr. Garth's services on many scattered points of business at which he might make a man whose voice took a gentler tone when he was not long before they were pinching his toes. Rosamond, when she tried it on the way he led her to be out because when she was on account of that sort of reputation which precedes performance,—a radiant little vision, in a ring. Little paps to begin with. If you fail try again, if he had been stopped by a servant on horseback with a divine, an entrancing blush from straining back and the pealing anthem of the good of her who was seated alone with these resources in the twinkling. There is correct English: that is. As God made him feel abjectly in the incense and censed the Blessed Sacrament and knelt down looking up at the same spot. Mr. Garth would not agree with you once again. Just compare for instance those others.
And she can do the other day. No.

Swarm Tactics
He grinned, or at least as much as he could, being an insect. All around him drummed the pitter-patter of hundreds of thousands of tiny feet, tap-tap-tapping up, down, around, and within walls and floors of rotted food and twisted plastic. Castro the mighty stag beetle had to stop himself from dancing with glee as he watched the mass of shimmering chitin pool up like oil around around the base of the old half-gallon milk jug he was perched on (or his “ivory tower,” as he affectionately called it.) The ants marched in lockstep. The gnats flew around and around in their excitement. The flies gathered in corners, rubbing their forelegs together as various evil plots ran through their minds. Everywhere, arachnids, beetles, bugs, wasps, and even some land crustaceans packed together into the crowded space. Arthropods of every shape, size, and color, of every order, family, and genus, of every age, social class, and religion, all uniting for the first time under a common purpose. They took up every available space they could, whether it was among the trash or fluttering in the air. It wouldn’t be long before Castro would be able to harness the power of the nefarious, vicious, but above all else, intelligent mass before him to bring about the inevitable extinction of mankind. Once he had made sure that all of his followers had settled into the dumpster behind Papa Geno’s, Castro silenced the buzzes, songs, and chatters by raising his wing covers. He then leaned closer to the massive funnel affixed to his tower with wire, and began his speech.
               “Greetings, my friends,” he boomed, “It truly is a privilege to see the world’s greatest thinkers, artists, and warriors all in one place to discuss the fall of Man. For many years we have suffered under human oppressions, having to watch as our brothers and sisters are –“
SCREE!
               A tiny scream sliced apart Castro’s words. The crowd turned and looked at a trapdoor spider, who was currently shifting its wide eyes from side to side and blushing, its fangs deep in a recently dead cricket. She freed her fangs from her meal and let out a nervous laugh.
               “Sorry, sorry. I couldn’t help it, it’s a reflex,” she said. Castro rolled his eyes.
               “Really, Susan?” he said.
               “I can’t help it! When things move too close to me I jump out automatically!” said Susan.
SCREE!
               Another screech, this time from the opposite side of the dumpster. A preying mantis raised its arm in guilt.
               “Sorry, that was me. There was a mealworm.”
               Castro groaned and rubbed the spot where his horn jutted out from between his eyes.
               “Alright, fine, um, prey!” he said to the crowd, “please try to be careful around the predators, alright? We need to be sensitive to their needs, let’s just try and be mature-“
SCREE!
               “Okay really? Really?” groaned Castro, “alright, prey, go to one side of the dumpster please. Predators go to the other, okay? Some of you may need to step outside momentarily so we can rearrange everything, just hang in there.”
               “Hey,” called out a mosquito, “that’s segregation! You said we all need to unite as one to fight the Man Menace!”
               “I know what I said, Gary, but we need to practical, alright? This isn’t trying to split you up, we’re still all together on this,” said Castro.
               “’One Phylum One Swarm,’ you said,” said Gary, “One Phylum one swarm! One Phylum one swarm!”
               The rest of the arthropods began to repeat the chant.
               “One Phylum one swarm! One Phylum one swarm!”
               Castro rubbed the sides of his little head and yelled into his megaphone.
               “Fine! Fine! Everyone can stay where they are, okay? We’ll just…I guess those eaten will get a plaque in their honor or something.” he muttered. The crowd cheered.
SCREE!
SCREE!
SCREE!
               Castro tried to pick up where he left off in his speech, but found that he had forgotten in completely in the hullaballoo. He would have to improvise. He raised his wing covers again for silence, tapped the end of his funnel a few times with his foreleg, and spoke.
               “Anyway, like I was saying, if we work together, there is no problem we cannot overcome! And as we deal our damage, and as new members are added to our cause, I predict we can have all of humanity eliminated in under a month!” he proclaimed. A pillbug raised his foreleg for a question.
               “Yes, but, how can we possibly fight them? We’re much too small!” he said. Castro laughed.
               “I’m glad you asked that my spherical companion! Our first order of business is to take out their electricity! Without it, they will be powerless against our advances,” he said.
“Mr. Castro?” asked an adorable parasitic wasp larva, having recently chewed her way out of the abdomen of its still-living spider host, “what’s ee-leck-tristy?” The other arthropods aww’d, except for the spider, which let out more of a gurgle followed by silence.
“That’s a very good question, sweetheart!” said Castro, “you see, unlike us, humans don’t have pheromones for mass communication. Instead, they invented this primitive technology made out of lightning and vines to tell all of their things what to do. All of these vines grow out of things called ‘power plants,’ and by killing these plants the human race will be thrown into a whole host of problems!” He began to make eye contact with individual members of the swarm as he listed off the effects of such a catastrophe, watching as everyone grew more and more excited.
“First, they won’t be able to talk to each other anymore! One of the fake pheromones made out of electricity is called ‘Internet,’ and our spies report it’s responsible for triggering around 75% of their communicative behavior and 90% of their arousal responses. Without it, they will be thrown into mass confusion, with no way to mate or warn other members of their colonies!” he said. The crowed murmured.
“But that’s not all! Without electricity, they won’t even be able to use most of their most powerful weapons! Especially those pesky fake suns!”
“Yeah! Fuck those things!" yelled a charred moth from his wheelchair. The crowd began to grow louder now. Humans were much weaker than they thought.
“And, best of all,” continued Castro, “electricity is a necessary ingredient for their most basic needs! They won’t be able to feed themselves, or wash themselves, or heat themselves…”
“Wait, what was that?” came a voice. The crowd grew quiet again. The speaker, a cockroach wearing a black plastic collar with a white stripe, looked rather concerned. “Oh, my apologies, I’m Father Walter Roach. I’m here representing the cockroachs.”
“Ah, of course, Father Roach,” said Castro, smiling, “please, share your concerns.”
“I’m just wondering about that heat thing,” said the Father.
“Yes, they have these things called ‘heaters,’ and-“
“No, I know what they are,” said the vexed cockroach, “that’s where most of us live.”
“Great! Now you won’t be burned by those men and their dastardly fire clouds!” spoke Castro.
“No, now we’ll all freeze to death in the winter because we won’t be able to stay warm.”
The crowd stared at Castro intently. He began to sweat.
“Come again?” he asked.
“Most of us cockroaches live near radiators to stay warm in the winter. If you shut them off, we’ll all die!” yelled Father, glaring. The crowd began murmuring again.
“Quiet! Everyone calm down, okay?” said Casto. He turned his attention back to the roach, “but you’re cockroaches! You’re a hearty species! You can survive anything!”
“No, see, that’s another thing,” said Father Roach. He started to yell, making sure the crowd at large could hear him. “While we’re on the subject, I’d just like the clear up that, no, cockroaches are not immortal. I don’t know where these rumors keep coming from, but we die pretty easily. Our kids are starting to dive into nuclear waste dumps, thinking they’re invincible, and it’s really tragic every time it happens. We’d appreciate it if you didn’t instill these dangerous ideas in the minds of our children.” Castro started to rock back and forth on his feet.
“Wait, you’re not immune to radiation?” he asked.
“No! I don’t even know how that got started!” shouted the Father.
“So if a group of roaches were to, say, be assigned to infiltrate a nuclear power plant to fiddle around with the fuel rods and cause a shutdown, they’d probably-“
“Die, yes. Likely of cancer. Very painful,” said the Father, “why do you ask?”
“Oh, um, no reason…” said Castro, rubbing the back of his head.
“You were gonna send my people on a suicide mission!” shouted the Father.
“I was not! Okay, let’s stop attacking each other or we’ll never get anything done, alright?” shouted Castro over the restless crowd, “look, do you people want to end the Man Menace or not?”
“Hey, funny you should ask that!” shouted a louse, having entered the dumpster just in time to here Castro’s question. Castro grew pale.
“Oh, hey, Jerry, long time no see…” he stammered.
“Uh, yeah, hi!” said Jerry, furious. “I heard you guys were having a little get-together, and just wanted to know why you didn’t invite me! It’s kinda weird, with me being such an expert on humans! You know, with them being my sole food source and all.”
By this point the swarm was churning with discussion. Castro signaled them with his wing covers again, but even with shouting he was unable to get them to go below a dull hum.
“Jerry, get out of here! I understand your frustrations, but sometimes sacrifices have to be made!”
“Easy for you to say! You don’t have a family to feed! You don’t have to go back to your kids and go ‘sorry guys,we’re gonna be homeless and starve to death because some people are upset that their bee friends are missing!” shouted Jerry.
“Hey! Shut up, crab!” yelled an angry bee, “get out of here!”
“You shut up, pollen jockey!” yelled back Jerry, “besides, I’d rather live off pube blood than dung like Martin Pooper King up there!”
“How dare you!” roared Castro, “I do not eat dung! That is a small minority of us, you racist!”
“Oh, did the crab just stereotype someone?” snapped Jerry. “Go back to the dog park, Scatagories!”
SCREE!
               “Hey, that was my girlfriend, punk!” a lovebug screamed at an assassin bug. The entire dumpster became awash in angry arthropod uproar. Predators turned against prey. One of the bees leapt on Jerry, letting out a furious cry of “bushbaby!” and sending him crashing backwards into a precarious straw resting against an empty bottle. The straw teetered over, knocking flying insects out of the sky and sending grounded ones scattering for cover, but bouncing harmlessly off of Father Roach’s carapace.
              “This doesn’t mean I’m immortal! Do not go telling people I’m immortal!” he sputtered. At this point, grasshoppers, being forced to rub against each other in the cramped quarters and now agitated even more by the commotion, could suppress their urges no longer and reflexively triggered their swarming behavior, molting and taking to the skies as locusts. The already crowded air was now thick with a green hurricane, slamming others into each other and causing an all-out brawl. Castro watched helplessly from his tower.
               “No, stop! Everyone settle down! We can pull through this, I promise!” he screamed, but it was in vain. He put his face in his hands as he watched a millipede gobble up freshly hatched mallets like jellybeans, only to be stung by a scorpion. “Please, calm down everyone! It’s alright, we can keep some alive to power the heaters, and to feed the lice! That’s it! Everyone, I have a solution, if we can find a way to enslave-“
               A gigantic dragonfly was knocked out of the typhoon of locusts, and careened into Castro. The stag beetle flailed, trying to regain his balance, but toppled backwards off of his tower. He flipped through the air and landed back-first in the middle of a colony of carpenter ants, crushing hundreds and releasing a cloud of “danger” pheromone from their corpses. Their senses clouded by the chemical signal, the dead’s thousands of sisters turned on their former leader, wrapping him up in a blanket of teeth and stingers.
               “No, get off of me you fools! I am your leader! We were so close! The world was almost ours!”
               Castro’s protests were silenced quickly, as his body was devoured within seconds by the colony. As the swarm frothed within the dumpster, mankind unknowingly celebrated victory once again. For the 60,000th time, they had managed to avoid overwhelming obliteration under the feet of Arthropoda.
