If the Poles had displayed at this time, a hundredth part of the energy and enthusiasm which they displayed during the insurrection of 1830-1831, they might have recovered their independence and their liberty, but, far from coming to the aid of the French troops, they denied them all necessities, and during this campaign our soldiers often had to take by force the food and forage which the inhabitants, and above all the nobles, hid from us, but handed over to the Russians, their persecutors.
But how can you expect, when there must be a concession on one side, that it should be on theirs? If my Dolly, who has not the hundredth part of your understanding, were thus to set herself up in absolute contradiction to my will, in a point so material, I should not take it well of her indeed I should not.

'Method' of 'escape', yes. The hundredth Psalm means a full stop. What verse? Seventy-four. Count seventy-four words and score." There was a pause for a few minutes while Mr. Meekin counted.
In fine, to recount the hundredth part of their deeds, to make out a list of their soldiers, sub-officers, or officers who have been since promoted to high honors, to trace minutely each step by which they mounted to their present position, would be to write, not an article, but a book.

Frank, nervous and excited, stood in the paddock, watch in hand, with old Neb by his side. "Why doesn't that jockey come?" he asked, for the hundredth time, almost beside himself with worry as the moments slipped away. "He'll come, Marse Frank," said Neb. "You kin gamble on de Cunnel." "If I only knew what kind of a jockey he is!"
The prospect of another wait chilled Wilton to the marrow. The wind had now grown simply freezing, and it came through his thin suit and roamed about all over him in a manner that caused him exquisite discomfort. He began to jump to keep himself warm. He was leaping heavenwards for the hundredth time, when, chancing to glance to one side, he perceived Mary again returning.
Aunt Chloe is what she is called by those who are not her nurslings." "She must be very, very old, I should think," observed Evelyn. "She is," said Elsie, and very infirm. No one knows her exact age, but she cannot be much, if any younger than Aunt Wealthy, who has just passed her hundredth birthday; and I believe her to be, in fact, somewhat older."

Ninety-nine per cent. of the men she met bored her not to tears, but to rudeness; for the hundredth she might feel an unbridled passion.
What he said, Margaret did not know perhaps not the truth; but news arrived after lunch that a lady had come by the London train, and had taken a fly to Howards End.
