It is by such great events, not by the romance-writer in his peaceful study, that mythology, like literature, is "incisively determined."

Had it to do with young Beaudry? From his reflections the cattleman came to an alert attention. Miss Rutherford was giving Meldrum instructions to arrange her bed in the back room. The convict hesitated. "I can't leave him here alone with you," he remonstrated surlily. "Why can't you?" demanded Beulah incisively. "He's tied to the bedpost and I have my gun. I can shoot as straight as you can.
"I would like to suggest," Jim said incisively, "that the less you let your mind run on those little girls from St. Anne's, the better for you! If you have no consideration for my feelings in this matter, Julie, for your own I should think you would consider such topics absolutely well, absolutely in poor taste!" Silence. Jim puffed on his cigar.
He is able, combative, dogmatic, well-read and well-informed, expresses himself incisively, is self-reliant, strong-willed, thoroughly just, thoroughly a gentleman, and has immense energy and business capacity, and a large amount of governing power.

"Ah!" he commented, incisively, when I had finished. "An exceedingly interesting story. Captain Tourville will be pleased that we have picked you up when he hears the news to-morrow.

Oscar opened his mouth but no words came.
"Amey" she began in the gentle tones of an eager peace maker, "I have come to talk to you a little about the subject just mentioned by my brother." "Is there anything he left out, pray?" I interrupted incisively. "No," she answered reproachfully, "but you may not understand our motives properly?" "Through no fault of his then," I muttered half savagely, "he was most explicit, I thought!"
But she's running her own game, and if she is stringing Ferguson that's her business, and if she thinks a good bit of him that's her business, too. If a man ain't jealous, he might be able to see that Ferguson ain't a half bad sort of a man." An evil light leaped into Leviatt's eyes. He turned and faced Radford, words coming from his lips coldly and incisively.
"In the face of all positive proof, and of the convictions of your judgment, your heart tells you that this criminal is innocent," said the abbess, incisively.
