To attempt gradually to inure him or to guard him absolutely from contact with picture, stuffed specimen, model, toy, and the real thing, wild or captive, as one would guard him against a fell disease? Could he be inured? Could one "break it to him gently" bye and bye, by first drawing a wiggly line and then giving it a head?
It seemed from his contact with the rocks and the curious windings it made, that he had never passed over the ground, but was advancing further into the hills. "This will not do," he said aloud, as he paused. "I am astray and must change about." He did so at once, and believing, of a surety, that he was now upon the right path he walked much faster than was prudent.
But of all the women in the world with whom I come in contact, the most dangerous, the most difficult to help, is the hypocrite. When a woman is weak one can pity. When she is defiant one can even admire, but the hypocrite is beyond the pale. She will fawn while her heart is untouched, she will assent while her mind is eluding you.
He gave it a strong pull, then another, till it gave way, sending him over the bow into the water. Down he went in the dark river, and, rising, was bewildered amid the intense darkness. It seemed as if the boy's brief career was at its close. But he was saved as by a miracle. Reaching out his hand in the darkness, it came in contact with the rope.

And so she looked at Roaring Bill Wagstaff, over the way, with a quite impersonal interest.
Quite early in his administration one of these men showed his wonderful powers to the President, who asked him to show Professor Henry his feats. Although the latter generally avoided all contact with such men, he consented to receive him at the Smithsonian Institution. Among the acts proposed was that of making sounds in various quarters of the room.
Officials were quite frank in discussing before us the affairs of their several provinces, and we gained a very clear insight into existing political methods and conditions. During this trip we lived in even closer contact with the Filipino population than on the occasion of our first visit.
For answer the two men put on their overcoats and went with him to the home of the dead man's family. That was the beginning of a new and strange life for Clarence Penrose. From the moment he stepped into that wretched hovel of a home and faced for the first time in his life a despair and suffering such as he had read of but did not know by personal contact, he dated a new life.
It seemed to me that in his tone, when he spoke again, there was a note of relief. 'I wondered if he had. Poor fellow! more sinned against than sinning! Take my advice, Atherton, and keep out of politics. They bring you into contact with all the lunatics at large. Good night! I am much obliged to you for knocking us up. Matthews, shut the door.
