Suddenly he recalled placing the check in his bill-case, and he searched himself diligently, but found nothing.

He was due there to-day for a week-end among the geese and brant.
Pheidias was more essentially ideal than either of these, as we shall presently see, but he also most diligently preserved in the Parthenon and other works a spirit of measure and reasonableness. Measure and balance in art differ widely from mere convention.
Taurea having for a long time diligently sought for this man, riding up to the squadrons of the enemy, at length having obtained silence, inquired where Claudius Asellus was, and asked why, since he had been accustomed to dispute about their merit in words, he would not decide the matter with the sword, and if vanquished give him spolia opima, or if victorious take them.
I reply that no inspired book can be understood at all without a careful study of uninspired books. The Greek grammar and the Greek lexicon are uninspired books, and no man can understand a single one of the books of the New Testament without carefully studying both of them, or else availing himself of the labor of some one else who has diligently studied them.

D. made something like 10,000, to the great assistance of certain new Government shops. Then the Government asked for a particular kind of gun. Mr. D. undertook 1,000, and has already delivered 400.

There he plied his tasks so diligently that he excelled all in book-learning. In time, he became one of the most famous scholars in Welsh history. When he died, he asked to be buried, not in the monk's cemetery, but with his father and mother, in the churchyard. Though their land has been many times invaded, the Welsh have never been conquered.
Let us part calmly, without a fuss, like decent people. "Have you had a fault to find with my conduct during the past six years?" "None, but that you have spoiled my life, and wrecked my prospects," said he in a hard tone.
