I am writing as an old man old enough to be your father who has the claim upon your consideration that all his life he has pursued the ends you yourself have aimed at, if at times too zealously and exactingly, yet without self-seeking or rancor. Your friend, HENRY WATTERSON. The President's acknowledgment of this letter is as follows: September 28, 1914.
"I suppose, under the circumstances, an old woman like me can discard the conventionalities?" she remarked smilingly. Jerry and Alice leered triumphantly at their victim. "Now!" Jerry shrilled exactingly "tell us all about hoboes!" "They do carry empty tomato-cans, don't they?" pleaded Alice. It was now their guardian's turn to laugh at his dismay.

As has already been remarked more than once in the course of the argument, a population that lives and does its work, and such play as is allowed it, in and by an exactingly articulate mechanical system of this kind will necessarily be an "intelligent" people, in the colloquial sense of the word; that is to say it will necessarily be a people that uses printed matter freely and that has some familiarity with the elements of those material sciences that underlie this mechanically organised system of appliances and processes.
He rather avoided them than not; but when with them was almost passionately demonstrative, exactingly jealous that due attention should be paid to them: and he seemed half afraid of caressing Anne's baby, lest it should be thought he cared for it more than for the others. Altogether Lady Hartledon puzzled her brains in vain: she could not make him out.
It was received by the Northern States with angry and resentful condemnation and complaint, because it did not concede all which they had exactingly demanded.
McDowell passed exactingly from man to man, examined muskets, clothing, and knapsacks, and the inspection was proceeding, when I bade my friends good by and set out for Culpepper. I crossed the North Rappahannock, or Hedgemain river, upon a precarious bridge of planks.
