Dad never moved a muscle, and I remember the clock got to ticking louder than I'd ever heard it in my life before. I may as well be perfectly honest! That ticket did not appeal to me a little bit. I think he expected to see that go up in smoke, also. But, though I'm pretty much of a fool at times, I believe there are lucid intervals when I recognize certain objects such as justice.
To organize instruction, then, would be to organize industry and fix the theory of society: the Academy, in its lucid moments, always returns to that. "What influence," the Academy again asks, "do progress and a desire for material comfort have upon a nation's morality?"
It cleansed the Republican platform of all accidental accretions, as if a ship's hull were being scraped of barnacles preparatory to a voyage; it gave the underlying issues such inflexible definition that they could not be juggled with. Again he showed a power of lucid statement not possessed by any of his rivals.
The thought of what she might have been saying, or, in the subtle way of women, making Seraphina feel, in there, made me violently angry, but lucid, too. "She comes straight from the fresh grave of her father," I said. "I am her only guardian." Manuel rose to the height of his appeal.

What she had been there Waterlow himself had seen: he wouldn't controvert the lucid proposition that she showed a "cutting" equal to any Greek gem.
Freeman we can hold our own against the historian of any date; the late Lord Tennyson and Mr. Arnold have written poetry that must live. Then in science we have a set of men who present the most momentous theories, the most profoundly thrilling facts in language which is lucid and attractive as that of a pretty fairy-tale.
Though having the manipulation explained to him in the most lucid manner, in terms half French and half English, Clare got more confused the more he listened, till at last his friend told him, with some severity, that his mind seemed incapable of comprehending 'l'art du cuisinier. Which was true enough.
He had his lucid intervals, when he was aware that he was wisely treated and tenderly cared for, and that his host and all his household were his devoted watchers and nurses; when he knew the doctor and the young priest, in their visits.
"Walter was at Mountfield on Sunday, and they came over in the afternoon. They prowled about together. Of course they didn't want us." "But they had us all the same," said Nancy, with a grin. "We stalked them. They kissed in the Temple, and again in the peach-house." "But there were lucid intervals," said Joan.
