Her health, always delicate, suffered wofully from this constant strain, and caused her to experience the most painful exhaustion, which, however, she never permitted to be an excuse for shirking an occupation naturally distasteful to her, and doubly so, that through all the din of practice her thousand fancies clamored like caged birds eager for liberty.
"Yesterday. Sidney an' Louise, Sidney an' Louise," came the taunting revision. John's face set. All the wrongs which Sid had perpetrated since the Halloween party the earlier sodas, the persistence which had culminated in the theater affair, the baseball election, and his arrogance since that time clamored for revenge. He'd get even, he would.
And, as she spoke, the people who had clamored loudest of mad dogs and who had called so frantically for a gun, waxed silent. The myriad glances cast at the prostrate and blubbering Rhuburger were not loving. Someone even said, loudly: "GOOD old Laddie!"

The larger number, whose most conspicuous members came from the department of the Gironde and were, therefore, collectively designated as Girondists, entertained the idea that the existing government should be clearly proved futile before proceeding to the next stage in the Revolution: they clamored for foreign war as the most effective means of disgracing the existing monarchy.
She was as lovely as ever, even lovelier. But she had a poise, a steadiness, that were new; and silences in which, to Belle's shrewd eyes, she seemed to be weighing things.
