"Did you tell her that I am a good boy? I am a very good boy; and so is Claudie." A leap and a grimace more astonishing than any he had yet accomplished sent Claude into fits of laughter. "I declare," said Miss Gertrude, looking down upon him, "I don't believe your mother would know you if she were to see you now! Why, there is quite a colour in his lips. He really seems better, doesn't he?"
The poisonous breath of the monstrous creature made Serena and myself the victims of successive fainting fits, we had the greatest difficulty in swallowing anything, and only revived under the influence of strong salts, and constant fanning. Our features assumed the paleness of death, and a cold dew rolled in large drops from our foreheads.
Thus he, too, incurred Abel's enmity. The company of the 'Red Hand' was disbanded to meet no more, and if his fellow sufferers gained by their chastisement, it was certain that Sabina's son did not. Insensate law fits the punishment to the crime rather than to the criminal, as though a doctor should only treat disease, without thought of the patient enduring it.
"'It is, says Moller, his voice jerkin' like a kitten taken with the fits. "'Well, says Doc, like his life was hangin' on what Moller would say, 'did you, or did you not, write Shakespeare's plays?

The city was unpleasantly hot and the breeze that swept its streets blew clouds of sand and cement about, for Montreal is subject to fits of feverish constructional activity and on every other block buildings were being torn down and replaced by larger ones of concrete and steel. Leaving its outskirts, the carriage climbed the road which winds in loops through the shade of overhanging trees.
Then the lawyer went on with his story. This lady had been betrothed early in life to the Marchese Luigi; but the man had become insane partially insane and by fits and starts. For some reason, not as yet understood, which might probably never be understood, the lady's family had thought it expedient that the lady should bear the name of the man to whom she was to be married.

But the historian must leave the door open for faith; and he may go further and point out that faith's explanation best fits the facts.
