What avail to guard her merely in the evening? It was not her life that was in danger.... And he seemed as immeasurably far from obtaining her confidence as before. He had always understood that the ways of matrimonial diplomacy were strewn with pitfalls and wished that some one had opened a school for married men before his time. He made another clumsy attempt.
Their Mohammedanism is decadent and has none of the virility which distinguishes those followers of Islam who dwell in western lands.

There are plenty of instances of a man running away, or imploring for mercy at all events hoping on in some degree even after his throat was cut. But in the case of an execution, that last hope having which it is so immeasurably less dreadful to die, is taken away from the wretch and certainty substituted in its place!

But the Legislature has only just commenced to realise the extent of its powers, expressed and implied. The latter stretch almost immeasurably farther than the former.
