The oil spread in a thin layer upon the surface of the wine, hinders the evaporation of its alcoholic part, and prevents it from combining with the atmospheric air, which would not only turn the wine sour, but change its constituent parts. Union of the Atlantic and Pacific.
Bring a supper-tea, Emma, lots of sandwiches I'm combining three meals in one, Miss Smith," she broke off to explain smilingly, as the nurse, trimly clad in white, came to the doorway.

They were the individual Cavalier, Hollander or Pilgrim, only in larger proportions, bearing all their characteristics. To appreciate the characteristics and spirit of these colonists, we must consider the special significance of the age that gave them birth. They were inspired most strongly by religious aspirations, although combining with these impelling political convictions.
Perhaps we might say that it was nothing more than the faculty of combining the separate, and therefore ineffectual, conceptions of others, and making them into living thought by the breath of its own organizing spirit.
