She knew that Rupert had but delayed what was inevitable, and when it came one night, a few weeks later, she had no feeling beyond relief that the fight was over, that she need no longer scheme to outwit George with her advances and retreats.
This accomplished, if its accomplishment were only practicable, all possible would have been done; and the necessary and inevitable readjustment of things would, in politics as in medicine and in science, be left to solve itself as occasion arose. Provision cannot be made against every contingency.
From the moment that war seemed inevitable, they acted as if they thought themselves absolved from all obligations of honour and honesty.
Rose flung the rhubarb on the kitchen table, pulled her dust-cap more firmly about her ears, and hurried back to the disorder of Floss's dim little bedroom.

There were several others which to Kennedy seemed more important, but long after we had finished I pondered this answer. Was that her philosophy of life?
Geoffrey, do serve yourself, please, and oh, my gracious! I've forgotten to give you your tea; I'm so sorry!" Here Spike, having once again staved off the inevitable explanation, grew hilarious, and they laughed and talked the while they ate and drank with youthful, healthy appetites. And what a supper that was! What tongue could tell the gaiety and utter content that possessed them all three?
