The righteous would be too light in asking, and would too much owrprize their works, if their God should not sometimes deal in this manner with them.

A little true grace will go a great way, yea, and do more wonders than we are aware of.
Madame Defarge had not moved from the spot where she stood when Miss Pross first became aware of her; but, she now advanced one step. "I am a Briton," said Miss Pross, "I am desperate.

I'll not leave a handful of that dark hair upon your head, if you lay a finger on me!"
On January fourteenth, 1881, the Chileans began the attack on Chorrillos, the fashionable watering place about three leagues from Lima.

Agincourt was still to come, the three being the most notable instances in history of the triumph of a handful of men well led over a great but feebly-handled host.
Before it is dried, drain and cover it with bran, and smoke it ten days. Or choose the leg of a hog that is fat and well fed, and hang it up a day or two. If large, put to it a pound of bay salt, four ounces of saltpetre, a pound of the coarsest sugar, and a handful of common salt, all in fine powder, and rub the mixture well into the ham.
It was not until Pearl came out and picked a handful of them for her dingy little room that they held up their heads once more and waved and nodded, red and handsome. When Tom Motherwell called at the Millford post office one day he got the surprise of his life.
While there, he took so much Scotch whisky and water that his tongue was loosened and he became boastful; and that to so foolish an extent that he actually brandished in the eyes of the multitude a whole handful of banknotes. He now remembered this, and was greatly struck by the curious fact that Lala Roy should seem to know it. "I haven't got any money. It was all brag last night.
