If the wood has not started to decay in the meantime, the place is safe, but too often invasion has begun before the process is complete, the rot disease finally extends to the heart of the tree, causing it to become hollow. If the center of the wound falls in, the callus cannot cover it, and an open sore remains. In these cavities birds may sometimes build.
"And for the temples in the country," added Euergetes, "for though I seek to extirpate other foes I would rather win over the priests; and I must try to win them if Philometor's kingdom falls into my hands, for the Egyptians require that their king should be a god; and I cannot arrive at the dignity of a real god, to whom my swarthy subjects will pray with thorough satisfaction, and without making my life a burden to me by continual revolts, unless I am raised to it by the suffrages of the priests."
"I appreciate all that you say and have considered destroying it, but have now come to the conclusion to keep it always with me, for, after all that you tell me, I think that I am in pretty safe hands in London." "But think, my dear fellow," cried the Colonel jumping up, "what might happen if this thing falls into the hands of the Germans!

And the only other thing in the world I know about him is that he's a great friend of that clever gossip Margaret Winchfield which goes to show that however obscure he may be as a scribbler of fiction, he must possess some redeeming virtues as a social being for Mrs. Winchfield is by no means the sort that falls in love with bores.
What is the meaning of 'overcoming the world? What is there about the world which we have to overcome? lest it should overcome us, and make worse men of us than we ought to be. Let us think awhile. In the world all seems full of chance and change. One man rises, and another falls, one hardly knows why: they hardly know themselves.

After dinner they all went into the garden, where Hunne joined them. When he saw them all seated in safety under the apple-tree, he said with a sigh, "I wish some one would bring me my pudding, before the house falls down."
