Some people were crossing it, and she followed them with her eyes, though she had often seen their counterparts before. A man in a heavy ulster notwithstanding the mildness of the day stalked on ahead, unconcerned about the fate of his family, which dragged, a woman and two children, in the rear: like savages, thought Louise, where the male goes first, to scent danger.

The Daimio, the Japanese chief, had a great estate and vast revenues, counted in measures of rice; one Daimio had as much as 1,000,000 koku of rice, the koku being a weight of about 132 pounds. But out of these revenues he had to maintain his clan, his samurai, the members of his private army. The samurai clansmen were the exact counterparts of Highlanders.
On the contrary, it made her look older than she was, and much more sad; for though the spring laughed in her eyes when she looked at the officer to whom people said she was engaged, their counterparts in the portrait were deep and grave. Certain irregularities of feature, too, were more apparent in the painting than in nature.
In these casts the minutest cavities and finest tubes in the Foraminifer were sornetilnes reproduced in solid counterparts of the glassy mineral, while the calcareous original had been entirely dissolved away.
These tuffs, and the associated trappean rocks, must not be compared to lava and scoriae which had cooled in the open air. Their counterparts must be sought in the products of modern submarine volcanic eruptions.
Evelyn was on the point of asking her to describe her visitor, but, fearing to be indiscreet, she asked Veronica to tell her who were the counterparts, and whence they came. Veronica could tell her nothing, and, untroubled by theory or scruple, she seemed to drift away perhaps into the arms of her spiritual lover.

These huts, four in number, were in the mode of their construction exact counterparts of those at Winter Island on our first visit, but, being now new and clean, presented a striking contrast with the latter, in their present disordered and filthy state.
Counterparts of the very banners whose prohibition had been part of the sentence in 1453 were unfurled, and their possession alone proved insurrectionary premeditation on the part of the gild leaders. Ghent was in open revolt, and the young duke in their midst felt it was an open insult to him as sovereign count. His messenger failed to return from the market-place.
It is this alone that injures "Counterparts" for many; not that they would not gladly accept the clippings in a little supplementary pamphlet, but dissertations, they say, delay the action.
