But it was in Babylon the Great, that the woman of Zechariah v. 1 Commerce had found all she had been insisting for, through all the past years, and it all emanated from, and was centred in Apleon. And it was all connected with worship. "Covetousness, which is idolatry." Apleon had made it his head-quarters. "The kings of the earth lived wantonly with her."
Abbot repeated the invitation that Virgie had already given to their new friend, insisting further, that he should remain their guest until he should decide regarding the purchase of the claim.
The Hollanders protested that there was no design whatever, so far as they knew, against his princely dignity or person. All were ready to recognize his rank and services by every means in their power. But it was desirable by conciliation and compromise, not by stern decree, to arrange these religious and political differences. The Stadholder replied by again insisting on the Synod.
Every compound and available walled space had been requisitioned to accommodate the brutes, and there were sufficient argumentative mahouts, all insisting that their elephants had not enough to eat, and all selling at least half of the pr-vided ration, to have formed a good-sized regiment. The elephants' daily bath in the river was a sight worth crossing India to see.

The caretaker was literally badgered and cajoled into following him. One glance at the formidable heap of the slain, and Mr. Brown dropped to a seat on the slab. "Preserve us a'!"
With the last stroke, the clock in the kitchen struck three, also, in a different tone and with an annoying briskness of manner. As the echo died away, the old grandfather's clock on the landing boomed out three portentously solemn chimes. It was followed almost immediately by a cheery, impertinent little clock, insisting that it was four and almost time for sunrise.
"You're awful' kind," she said softly, still smiling, "but I don't care to go, now. "Don't care to! Why, you were insisting on going, a little while ago." "Yes," she admitted simply, "I know I was. But ... I've been thinking over what you said, since then, and I ... I've made up my mind I'd be out of place there." "Out of place!" he echoed, thunderstruck. "Yes.
It would be a very nice world in these United States if we could all devote ourselves to finding out in communities what is likable rather than what is opposed to our experience; that is, in trying to adapt ourselves to others rather than insisting that our own standard should measure our opinion and our enjoyment of them.
"I'll tell you what I think of you for coming, Bob, for insisting upon seeing me as you did," she said, remembering with shame Ellen's account of that proceeding. "It was very unkind and very thoughtless of you." "Unkind?" Thus she succeeded in putting him on the defensive.
"You may bring the paper to the desk, Miss Ashe." Blue Bonnet gathered up her books, picked up the letter which she had been writing and tore it into bits. Then she got up and started to leave the room. Fraulein was white with anger. "Come back to your seat, this instant, Miss Ashe," she demanded. Blue Bonnet continued on her way out of the room. Fraulein ran after her, insisting upon her return.
