The Twins crossed the tiny red bridge and crept up the stepping-stones on the mountain-side until they reached the little pine tree. "Do you s'pose it could be the pine tree?" Take whispered.
On the Queen's accession to the throne, he made strong efforts to get into the administration, but hath not yet succeeded, though he is well received at court; he is brave in his person, with a rough air of boldness; of good sense, very forward and hot for what he undertakes; ambitious and haughty, a violent enemy; hath been very extravagant in his manner of living; but now grows covetous. Swift.
"I hope not, but I'm not certain, Sam. The Baxters are a bad lot, as all of us know, and as Dan grows older he'll be just as wicked as his father, and maybe worse." "What a pity a fellow like Dan can't turn over a new leaf," came from Tom Rover. "He's bright enough in his way, and would make a first-rate chap." "It's not in the blood," went on Dick. "We'll have to keep our eyes open, that's all.
Besides the water-birds which were noticed by our travellers, many kinds were seen by them upon the shore and fluttering among the trees.

To co-operate with their resentment would be to promote their phrenzy; nor is it possible to guess to what they might proceed, if to the new title of Solicitor, should be added the elation of victory and triumph.
Though I must say that when he grows animated in speaking his face lights up, a sort of a magnetic essence flows from his eyes which I had already noticed in our preceding encounters. Madame de la Bastie was as much struck as I was by this peculiarity. I don't know if I told you that the ambition of Monsieur Dorlange is to be returned to the Chamber at the coming elections.

But in spite of this constant care, as my husband has told you, he grows steadily worse. And poor Angela has finally broken under the strain. She was never strong. She is dying now they give her maybe two months more.
Damn it, sir, am I awake?" "Ask Doctor Castleton, sir, what portion of a grain of small-pox virus it would require to disseminate over a whole county, if not checked, a dread disease? Ask him from what an oak-tree grows?" "Ask him," said Castleton, "how long it takes an acorn to act. In this case we require celerity of action force and penetration."
