Thus a thousand instances do prove that the light of the moon is moist, and carries with it a softening and corrupting quality.
"I told you beforehand it was going to be a political confab," said the club-man in self-defense. "And you mustn't treat it lightly, either. Ten prattling words of what you have heard to-night set afloat on the gossip pool of this town might make it pretty difficult for our David." "We are not very likely to babble," retorted Penelope. "We are not so rich in intimates in this aboriginal desert."
Henri, on the contrary, who had been a familiar friend of the Austrian ambassador at the time when the Princess de Metternich maintained a sort of open ballroom for her intimates, had learned, in a good school, all the boldness and elegance of the Viennese style of dancing.

He inquired concerning the young man's home life, about his ambitions and plans for the future, about his friends and intimates at college.

"He had no stomach for battle in face of this this disaster that hit him." "It has no relation to his undertaking?" "None whatever. I know the whole thing. We were 'intimates.
