I'm the oldest, and dear me, how I would enjoy it!" "I would love to have you all go," said Mrs. Dering, thoughtfully creasing the letter in her fingers. "Congreve Hall was papa's home, and I would enjoy having you see it, would love to go myself, in fact, and when I think of my dear precious little girl, it seems as though I must go. But that cannot be, so it need not be thought of.
Then he turned, and creasing the paper between his fingers as he spoke, uttered a sentence that brought every man to his feet. In the confusion that followed Monsignor stood for a while disregarded. The man who had brought the message, had, after one more sentence snapped at him over the President's shoulder, vanished once more.
If we take into account the creasing of the cerebral surface, the difference between the brain of a Shakespeare and that of an Australian savage would doubtless be fifty times greater than the difference between the Australian's brain and that of an orang-outang.
The hunters knew they would return on the morrow about the same hour; and it was towards their return that the thought of all were bent.

It is especially and primarily such changes that physics deals with, i.e. it deals primarily with processes in which the unity of a physical object need not be broken up because all its appearances change simultaneously according to the same law or, if not all, at any rate all from places sufficiently near to the object, with in creasing accuracy as we approach the object.
To the elder this was always the pleasantest hour of the day; but now Philippus would hardly allow himself more than just time enough to eat, even at their principal evening meal. Indeed, not he alone, but every physician in the city, had as much as he could do with the utmost exertion.
