A glance at the numerous periodicals designed for the reading of women depresses optimism, and the Princess's prophecy of
Its connotations are endless, and range from the aggressively man-like deity of the primitive savage up or down to the abstract force of the mathematical physicist and the shadowy "Absolute" of the theologising metaphysician.
"Oh, I don't know the jug's doing all right, where it is," he evaded; what he wanted most was to get at her real object, and, man-like, to know beyond doubt whether she really cared. "But you don't you never touch it," she urged. "I know, because well, because every day I look into it! I suppose you'll say I have no right, that it's spying, or something. But I don't care for that.
Old Port, as he was called, was a mild-mannered man who would have made very little impression on the community, but for his wife, a large and rather unkempt person, who assumed such man-like freedom of speech that my father was never without an amusing story of her doings.
"I hope Faith will see you often," he added helplessly, man-like, saying the very opposite to the thing he wished to say. "Oh, I dare say she will," Peg said laconically. She was not in the least offended by his refusal. If this scheme failed, she had others to fall back upon. "I'm fond of Faith, you know," she added. "I know," said the Beggar Man.

I saw that it shocked Aunt Priscilla." "And she told the story of it so prettily. It is a lovely thing and to think it has been to London to see the king!" "You must take her in your bed, Betty." "Oh, of course.

My only excuse is that I've been driven half mad with other things. I haven't time to think of myself."
I had gone into Charles Turold's room for some reason when he was out, and there, on the hearth, I could see the remains of the fire he had lit overnight to dry his clothes.
