Or else like so many fevered souls she had yearned for the full blossom thereof, neglecting to nourish the parched seed under her feet. She had committed sacrilege. That was why Love had come to her at last with a flaming sword, devastating her whole life, depriving her of even that which she had seemed to have. That was why she now knelt impotent before a locked door. That was why God was angry.
At meals they dieted sternly: drinking water and depriving themselves altogether of any food that might stand in the way of their ideal of a complexion of a floury whiteness. There was a fairly large proportion of Jewesses among Christophe's acquaintance: and he was always attracted by them, although, since his encounter with Judith Mannheim, he had hardly any illusions about them.
And yet, instead of stopping to study this sign earnestly, that I might understand all the meaning of it, I was hastening away from it with all possible speed; and for no better reason than that certain barbarians, whose knowledge of archæology was not even rudimentary, were pursuing me that they might take my life an imperfectly expressed concept, by-the-way; for life can be taken only in the limited sense of depriving another of it; it cannot be taken in the full sense of deprivation and acquisition combined.
"And 'deed we is your frinds, and true frinds, too," wailed the cook. "I know you are, and it grieves me to feel that I shall see you no more. But you must not be led to think by what Richard says that anybody is depriving me of that which ought to be my own.

No matter what adults are given, children should not be fed on white flour products. They need all the salts in the wheat. Depriving them of salts retards their development and results in decaying teeth and poor bone formation, among other things.

The Duchesse d'Orléans already knew that depriving the King of the crown was not giving it to her son.

Confidence in the general and growing good sense of children is a presupposition in the sensible parent and teacher.
"It is very kind of you," he said slowly, "to honour me by so much consideration, but if you have much to say perhaps it would be better if you permitted me to call upon you to-morrow. I am afraid of depriving you of your ball and your friends will be getting impatient." "Bother the ball and my friends," she exclaimed, a certain strained note in her tone which puzzled him.
But not your intended wife." "But, you see, she is of the cleaving type." "And why this hurry? Aren't you depriving your uncle and aunt unnecessarily early?"
