"I have experienced the great benefit of being acquainted with the prophet for the last fourteen days." "But he's not a prophet," said Susannah resentfully. "Did'st thou never find thyself to be mistaken when thou wast most sure? Hast thou not perceived that thy Bible tells thee in many different ways that God chooses not as men choose?"
The old man went into the drawing-room with sublime good faith; he was sure of his wife. "I will not have you come with us to Geneva," she said to Rodolphe. "It is a gossiping town. Though I am far above the nonsense the world talks, I do not choose to be calumniated, not for my own sake, but for his. I make it my pride to be the glory of that old man, who is, after all, my only protector.
Finally I felt the lapping waters about my feet. The smoke was thick behind me. My suffering was intense. There seemed but one thing to do, and that to choose the easier death which confronted me, and so I moved on down the corridor until the cold waters of Omean closed about me, and I swam on through utter blackness toward what?

What will you now reply to these arguments? Can you find one single article in this long speech of mine, to which you trust that you can make any answer?
She wondered why he had chosen one plot of sand over another plot. Sure, he was on a leash and so he did not have a wide area to choose from; but a bigger question was why anyone would choose to sit in one chair over another one in an audience where the seats were not assigned.
Isn't it wonderful how young people become attracted by one another, and their heads and hearts get filled while we old people can only worry, for whether they choose well or ill it always ends in our being left alone. I noticed that Frenchy and Sammy were not among the people who crowded about us to say good-by.
"She's a woman now, Brother Snow, free to choose for herself," the father had replied to his first expostulations. "Counsel her, Brother Rae." In the mind of the Bishop, "counsel," properly applied, was a thing not long to be resisted. "She would treat my counsel as shortly as she treated your proposal, Brother Snow."
