"It is," he said, "a most unpleasant thing, and is known to three men only, of whom I am one. We have also arranged that nobody else will chance upon what we have discovered. You see, Ferris is unfortunately connected with you, and his people have had trouble enough already." "Ferris?" said Maud Barrington, with a sudden hardening of her face. "You surely don't mean " Dane nodded.
In the matter of hardening gold, and thereafter giving it all the qualities of tempered steel, they had made a step that was distinctly in advance of anything which our metallurgists had accomplished; and I am strongly inclined to the belief that at least among the priests knowledge had been gained of a process quite unlike that known to us for producing a gold fulminate.
At Wolfville, on the Bay of Fundy, Sir Charles Lyell some years ago observed a number of marks on the surface of a red marly mud which was gradually hardening on the sea-shore.
I once thought you too generous to wish to inflict pain unnecessarily on any one; but God knows this interview is inexpressibly painful to me." A numbing suspicion crossed her mind, blanching lip and cheek to the hue of death, and hardening her into the old statue-like expression. Had he, indeed, ceased to love her?

Paganel, who knew fifty ways of dressing eggs, was obliged for this once to be content with simply hardening them on the hot embers.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. St Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy. It was exactly what I needed to do to endure hardness to take it to bear it to be more of a man for it. Moreover, the idea was a new suggestion.
