"All right, Harry! I will be as serious as a judge." "I am thinking of going away for two years." The lad turned half round in his chair and had a good look at his brother. "Where are you going to?" seeing by Harry's rather gloomy face that he was quite in earnest. "I believe I am going to Peru." "What are you going there for, Harry?" the lad said quietly.
If you're in earnest you force a suspicion on me which I would rather not feel. Let us change the subject." "No! Let us have it out at once. What do you suspect?" "I suspect you are getting tired of your wife." "She is forty-two, and I am thirty-five; and I have been married to her for thirteen years. You know all that and you only suspect I am tired of her. Bless your innocence!
"No young officer in the service enjoys being censured when he has used the very best judgment with which Heaven has endowed him. No man of earnest effort, likes to have his motives questioned.
What a farce it was that he should be engaged to make straight the affairs of other people, when his own affairs were so very crooked! As he walked up to the old farm-house in which Mr. Saul was living, he thought of this, and acknowledged to himself that he could hardly make himself in earnest about his sister's affairs, because of his own troubles.
How can I know what goes on between you two?" When Pao-yue heard these words, and he noticed that the look on her face was so unlike that of former days, he lost no time in putting on a smile and asking: "Why is it that you too are angry in real earnest?" "How could I presume to get angry!"

Had not she herself, as a little girl, lain in a corner and listened, wide-eyed, to their talk about the injustice of life, the tyranny of the rich, and the rights of the laborer, which he had only to reach out his hand to seize?
The opponents of Darwinism direct their objections principally against this element of the doctrine. This, as was stated by Rev. Dr. Peabody, was the main ground of the earnest opposition of Agassiz to the theory. America's great botanist, Dr. Asa Gray, avows himself an evolutionist; but he is not a Darwinian. Of that point we have the clearest possible proof. Mr.

Now, for the first time, you begin to understand." "To a certain extent," Mr. Dunster admitted. "Where I am still in the dark, however, is why you should expect that I should become your confederate.
Uncle William, leaning forward, a hand on either knee, beamed on him benignantly. Andy shifted a little in his chair. "You're going to get into trouble," he said warningly, "if you move that way." "Like enough, like enough. I gen'ally do. Is it my move?" "No," growled Andy. He returned to the board. The game was on in earnest.
I knew she'd be interested in it, but I have always forgotten to give it to her," said the clerk. She seemed to be very much in earnest as she continued, "I do wish something could be done to save the birds. If women must have feathers, why can't they content themselves with wearing ostrich tips and plumes? There is nothing cruel or wicked in the way they are procured."
