The change was gradual and deliberate. Froude's friends in Gloucestershire, the Keble family, had their misgivings about Newman's supposed liberalism; they did not much want to have to do with him. His subtle and speculative temper did not always square with Froude's theology.
As early as July 11th, Queensland, the fiery and semitropical, had offered a contingent of mounted infantry with machine guns; New Zealand, Western Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia followed in the order named. Canada, with the strong but more deliberate spirit of the north, was the last to speak, but spoke the more firmly for the delay.
Such was our fare on Christmas eve; but hunger is the best sauce, and our dishes were plentifully seasoned with it. We arose betimes on Christmas morn, but the grim and deliberate landlady detained us an hour in preparing our coffee. I was in the yard about five minutes, wearing only my cloth overcoat and no gloves, and found the air truly sharp and nipping, but not painfully severe.
"But the others, where are they?" he said indignantly. "Do you call that a laughing matter?" She stopped at the sound of his voice as at a blow. Her face hardened into immobility, yet when she replied it was with the deliberate indolence of her father. "The wimmen are up on the hills by this time.

Taking deliberate aim he sent a bullet through the head of the bear, and the huge animal tumbled lifeless to the ground.
With this realisation came a knowledge of other things of things half heard at the office, of half looks in the street, of a deliberate avoidance of his father's name the Westcotts of Scaw House! There were clouds about the name. But his father, in contact with Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Agatha, was strangely impressive.
Your letters almost confirmed me in the design of returning to fetch you; and yet more sober reason seems to tell me that these things were rather the effusions of sentiment than of a deliberate estimate of your real interests. In six weeks, however, we shall meet. I intended to have recommended to you the ancient and modern history of Millot.
It was nothing but the tone of a girl's voice, the studied silence of a girl's eyes, which had once been eloquent. It was getting late. A discreet clock on the mantelpiece declared the hour of midnight in deliberate cathedral chime. Fitz looked up, but he did not move. He liked Cipriani de Lloseta. He had been prepared to do so, and now he had gone further than he had intended.
He nodded cordially in response to the greeting of Lord James, and began rummaging in his pockets as he came over to the desk. "Now, where's that letter? Hey? Oh, here it is."
