Weariness is one of the former things!" A whimsical humor stirred the words. "Sometimes the former things get t' be dreadful foolish day after day." "Let me carry you to the bedroom, Susan." Janet had assumed this duty in order to spare David, the nights he must go up aloft. The thin, light body was no burden to the sturdy girl. "There, Susan, and see the storm is past!"
The mental reservations of Mr. Strathmore are certainly so broad that they may cover anything. I know women who go to his church and simply say the beginning of the creed: 'I believe in God; and who do not hesitate in private to explain that by the name God they mean whatever force it is that moves the universe, whether it is intelligent or not." "How dreadful!" Philip exclaimed.
It must be a very great sum when it will prevent your having a house in London, as you agreed. It does make a great difference, because, of course, as you have no regular place in the country, one could only see one's friends in London. Fulham is all very well now and then, but I don't think I should like to live at Fulham all the year through. You talk of three years, which would be dreadful.

Besides, the two nations appear to me quite opposite in character, with regard both to good and evil. The Romans never knew the dreadful folly of religious wars, an abomination reserved for devout preachers of patience and humility.
'Aye, by-gones are by-gones; the past is, indeed, immutable, and the future is equally fixed, and more dreadful. 'Come, Radie; a clever girl like you can make your own future. 'And what do you want of me now? she asked, with a fierce cold stare. 'But I did not say I wanted anything. 'Of course you do, or I should not have seen you.
Those who tell us to-day about the psychology of the crowd will agree that men who have so suffered and so succeeded are not normal; that their brains are in a dreadful balance which may turn either way.
