Ferdinand, strong only as one to two, cannot hinder Broglio, though he tries variously; and is much at a loss, seeing Broglio irrepressibly busy this way, all through August and on into September; has heard, however, from Wesel, through secret partisans there, that Wesel, considered altogether out of risk, is left in a very weak condition; weak in garrison, weak even in gunners.
He resigned the office of Secretary and began his judicial career, establishing his residence at Quincy. This appointment to the bench was one of the most fortunate incidents in his busy and feverish life. He was not twenty-eight years old. Adroit, nimble-witted and irrepressibly energetic as he was, he had not yet developed much solid strength. His stock of knowledge was scanty and superficial.
Firmly and irrepressibly the quavering voices sang on, verse after verse; others of the colored people joined in; some whites on the platform began, but I motioned them to silence. I never saw anything so electric; it made all other words cheap; it seemed the choked voice of a race at last unloosed.
He's a fine old boy went all through the Civil War with colors flying. He's awfully old now, and so crippled with rheumatism he can't leave the house." "Fine!" crowed Herb irrepressibly. "Here's the first of our lame lucks." "Joel Banks isn't any lame duck! I'll have you know that right now," cried Joe hotly. "He's one of the finest old gentlemen you ever want to see, and a hero at that.
"I have been employed in the grounds," proceeded Abraham Sage, irrepressibly, "for more than forty years " "You shall be employed in the grounds for forty more, if you'll only hold your tongue and take yourself off!" cried Allan, as soon as he could speak.
"Are you man or devil? You are not Valentine not the man I loved. I'll swear it. You are some damned stranger, and I have lived with you" he shuddered irrepressibly "and never knew it till now." "You say I am a stranger?" "Yes, with the face of my friend." "How can that be?" Again a misery of confusion and of fear swept over Julian. "Whence did I come, then?" Valentine asked.
But, whether old or young, sheltered or exposed to the wildest gales, this tree is ever found to be irrepressibly and extravagantly picturesque, offering a richer and more varied series of forms to the artist than any other species I have yet seen.
We raised it, and gave the word to clear the doorway. Now for the work! now for the rush at the door! There is the fire streaming into the sky, streaming brighter than ever to light us! Steady along the churchyard path steady with the beam for a rush at the door. One, two, three and off. Out rings the cheering again, irrepressibly. We have shaken it already, the hinges must give if the lock won't.
And she breathed easily and freely now that the worst and most difficult thing was said. She, too, got up, and looking Ivan Alexeyitch straight in the face, began talking rapidly, warmly, irrepressibly. As a man suddenly panic-stricken cannot afterwards remember the succession of sounds accompanying the catastrophe that overwhelmed him, so Ognev cannot remember Vera's words and phrases.
Then instantly, irrepressibly, comes the lightning-flash of horror to our heart, to our muscles, to our lungs, to get ready to meet this emergency. Then, and not till then, do we really feel the emotion. In fact, our most pragmatic philosopher, William James, has gone so far as to declare that emotions are the after-echoes of muscular contractions.
