A Martian, therefore, would weigh three times more than on Mars, albeit his muscular strength would be the same. His own body would be a cope of lead to him. That, indeed, was the general opinion. Both The Times and the Daily Telegraph, for instance, insisted on it the next morning, and both overlooked, just as I did, two obvious modifying influences.
The necessity, however, of subordinating everything to the supreme purpose of this book, which is to endeavour to show how light can be let into the heart of Darkest England, compels me to pass rapidly over this department of the subject, merely glancing as I go at the well-meaning, but more or less abortive, attempts to cope with this great and appalling evil.
Brewster-Smith turned back to her young cousin-by-marriage and murmured, "That was such a true and deep saying of George's... wherever does such a young man get his wisdom!... that women are not fitted by nature to cope with hostile forces!" Cousin Emelene approached from behind the statue of Genevieve, still frozen in place with an expression of stupefaction on her white face.
The question which finally stood before him was, to know whether he possessed the force needed to cope with these dangers, and on this ground hesitation was not possible; to wish to foresee everything was folly; that which he would not have expected, would come to pass. He returned toward Paris, and by the Pont de Suresnes reentered the Bois de Boulogne.
My manners grow so flamboyant, my passions so professional, that I doubt, as I said at the outset, whether it is really myself that behaves in such a manner. I feel merely the core to this dramatic casing, that grows thicker and presses upon me me and mine. I feel like King John's abbot in his cope of lead.
Of course, she was now extravagant and foolish, perhaps vain too. But that would mend with time mend, above all, with her position as Aldous's wife. Aldous was a strong man how strong, Lord Maxwell suspected that this impetuous young lady hardly knew. No, he thought the family might be trusted to cope with her when once they got her among them.
There was another stroll on the beach, with Cope between Medora and Carolyn. Then he and Randolph took the causeway across the marsh, stopped the trolley by burning a newspaper on the track, and started on the long trip home. As the car ran along jerkily from station to station, the earlier void of Duneland became peopled indeed.
Cope, and all in the power of this gentleman had been done for him, but that was not much, for it was one of the families that no one can serve; the father drank, and the mother was forced to be out charing all day, and was so rough a woman, that she could hardly be much comfort to poor Jem when she was at home. Alfred was quite taken up with the history by this time, and kept looking at Mr.
His opinion was always one and the same, that the war should be carried on in Italy: because "Italy would supply a foreign enemy both with men and provisions; but, if it were left in quiet, and the Roman people were allowed to employ the strength and forces of Italy, in making war beyond the limits of that country, no king or nation would be able to cope with them."
"There were always so many girls to be kissed and it was so easy to run away " She had always hated the nursery rhyme. But now it seemed to sing itself in her brain. "Georgie-Porgie, Pudding and pie, Kissed the girls, And made them cry " Cope was at Becky's right. "Aren't you going to talk to me? You haven't said a word since the soup." "Well, everybody else is talking."
