They worked with sympathetic fury, led by this fair creature, whose white hands were soon soiled and bloody, but never tired. In less than an hour they had cleared away several wagon-loads of debris. The body of Henry Little was not there. Grace gave her purse to the women, and leaned heavily on Mr. Ransome's arm again. He supported her out of the works.
In the time of the Spaniards the Indians could not hold land; and a family, after having cleared a piece of ground, might be driven away, and the property seized by the government. The Chilian authorities are now performing an act of justice by making retribution to these poor Indians, giving to each man, according to his grade of life, a certain portion of land.
The confusion between the King of Hell and the King of Heaven has cleared up, thank God, since then! So I was whipped and put to bed the whipping altering my secret heart just about as much as the dread of hell-fire did. Was I so very wrong? What was there in the idea of religion which was represented to me at home to captivate me?

The gun spoke, and when the smoke had cleared we saw that the shot had cut through the Frenchman's mizzen and main weather rigging, bringing down the top masts with all their hamper of sails. Even to my inexperienced eye it was clear that the barque was crippled and lay at our mercy.
Then, too, the fact that I was cleared of suspicion of theft in the eyes of her I loved and her family, at least, filled me with an ecstasy which sometimes awoke me from slumber like a pain.
They touched on Justification; thou shalt justify them to me now. There came a sound of a man who cleared his throat and then again the heavy voice: 'Why, be not cast down; we spoke as doctor to doctor. Without a doubt thou art learned. Show then thy learning.
