Addison regarded Steele with kindness not unmingled with scorn, tried, with little success, to keep him out of scrapes, introduced him to the great, procured a good place for him, corrected his plays, and, though by no means rich, lent him large sums of money. One of these loans appears, from a letter dated in August, 1708, to have amounted to a thousand pounds.

"Tom has been in many a tight place and gotten out, as you and I well know. Maybe it will be the same now, though it does look suspicious, that fake message coming from you." "Not coming from me, you mean," corrected Ned. "Well, we'll do the best we can."

The misinformation as to the terms of the act which has been so widely disseminated at home and abroad will be corrected by experience, and the evil auguries as to its results confounded by the market reports, the savings banks, international trade balances, and the general prosperity of our people.

Garrick shook his head mournfully. "They had just time enough," he remarked, "to destroy about everything they wanted to and carry off the rest." "All except the markers," I corrected. "That was just a lucky chance," he returned. "Still, it throws an interesting sidelight on the case." "It doesn't add much in my estimation to the character of Forbes," I ventured, voicing my own suspicions.

"An old friend?" "Yes. But she must be very unhappy." "Miserable." And tears came to the eyes of Ellen. "In the end, it will no doubt be best for her, Florence," said the brother. "She will suffer acutely, but her false views of life, let us hope, will be corrected, and then we shall have it in our power to make her last days the best and happiest of her life."

The important duty of weighing up these various views devolves on the management, and its action should be in accordance with the complete and corrected view. It must consider the subject from a top viewpoint, and must then act. The manager keeps in mind that the machines must be built, purchased, and used by human beings, so he carefully studies their peculiarities.

"And he kept it packed up like this how long?" "Well you know how old I am. Twenty-seven." Aunt Constance corrected dates. "George the Fourth," said she chronologically, "ascended the throne in 1820. Consequently he cannot have become intoxicated in this room...." Sister Nora interrupted. Of course he couldn't not in her father's time.

She might conjecture, it is true, both from her knowledge of previous habits, and from the suspicious fact of the proofs having been corrected at B , that some literary project was afoot; but she knew nothing, and wisely said nothing, until she heard a report from others, that Charlotte Bronte was an author had published a novel!

His face, of the Norman type, with regular, handsome features, had a leisurely and capable expression. His manner was easy and pleasant; only at times it became apparent that his ideas were in perfect order, so that he would naturally not care to be corrected. His father, Lord Montrossor, whose seat was at Coldingham six miles away, would ultimately yield to him his place in the House of Lords.

"But it's tucked away among What on earth has come to the little wretches? They seem to have lost the instinct of cell-building." The father held up the frame where the bees had experimented in circular cell-work. It looked like the pitted head, of a decaying toadstool. "Not altogether," the son corrected. "There's one line, at least, of perfectly good cells."
