And behind, the mountains, further away still, the dim, snow-capped heights. Violet looked, as she was bidden, but her eyes seemed incapable of appreciation. When the car moved on, she leaned back in her seat and dropped her veil. She was paler even than when they had started. "I am going to talk to you very little," he said gravely. "I want you just to rest and breathe this wonderful air.
Endued with great might and intelligence, and above fatigue, that foremost of warriors is incapable of defeat by the very gods with Vasava at their head. The son of Pandu possesses terrible weapons and is ever victorious in battle. Today in this dreadful battle thou wilt behold a great carnage.
What perversion of ideas! What confusion in the heart, the brain, in all my little being, intelligent and moral! let any one, I say, if possible, imagine all this, for I am incapable of giving the least idea of what passed in my mind at that period.
"Er-this one is a little shinier than that one?" "Perhaps the finish is a little higher," ventured the saleslady. "Sh-shinier," said Jethro. "Yes, shinier, if you please to call it so."

"Devotedness to a father I must conceive to be a child's first duty," she said. Sir Purcell nodded: "Yes; a child's!"
You are likely to be accused of helping his venture, and will know how best to secure yourself against such an accusation. For myself I know nothing of your aims, but the person who commands me believes you incapable of a base action, and would do you a service.
She had been educated in a sphere alien from that in which she now moved. A girl, brought up as Sir George's cousin and among her equals, would have known him to be incapable of treachery as black as this.
"There," said he, "is the difference between a religion which believes in a righteous sovereign Ruler of the universe, and a maudlin sentiment incapable of any real, continued, determined effort." I must confess that this view of my orthodox friend strikes me as just.
