"Meg, not anything wrong with you?" "Wait one minute," said Margaret, whispering always. "But you've never conceivably you've never " She pulled herself together. "Tibby, hurry up through; I can't hold this gate indefinitely.
And, in the same breath, neither does this country, as a whole, comprehend how big a country is Mexico to lick! Give a Mexican soldado a handful of beans a day and something to shout Viva for, and he can and will fight indefinitely. If I mistake not, it will shortly behoove this country to temporize, to make certain concessions.

Because the men who are already made are not going to live indefinitely, and they are not always kind enough to leave sons as able and as honest as they are.
Without capital there seemed nothing to do but go on indefinitely working for wages. His aunt had sent word in a roundabout way that if he wished to come back she would receive him, but this he did not even consider. Sitting on what was left of his doorstep, he awaited Pinkey's return, in an attitude of such dejection that that person commented upon it jocosely.
