You have to add that the same foreign nation controls also all coast communications from, say, Raleigh southwards, with railway lines both to the nearby coast and to New Orleans. These are not remote possibilities nor vague prognostications. They are accomplished facts. Yet the facts give only the framework of the picture. What is actually going on within Shantung?
The inevitable has occurred." "What are you talking about, Phoenix?" "The Scientist, my boy. He is in our midst once more." David clutched a branch in the heap and said "Oh, Phoenix!" in a frightened voice. "Now, my dear fellow, there is no cause for alarm. He is not nearby at present. I sent him back." "Sent him back? How?" "Nothing to it, my boy," said the Phoenix smugly.
I was flung to the ground, but I fought three men, it seemed to be, who were upon me. Then Georg's voice: "Jac! Stop they'll kill you." I yielded suddenly, and my assailants jerked me to my feet. A group of Venus men were surrounding us. Georg, his jacket torn to ribbons, was backed up against the wall with three or four Venus men holding him. And on the floor nearby Dr.
The plums will soon be in bloom, and in March the camellias, which grow to fairly large trees. In the distance we see the wonderful Fuji, nearby the other hills of this district, and the further plains of the city. Just at the foot of our hill is a canal, along which is an alley of cherry trees formerly famous, but largely destroyed by a storm a few years ago.

They had done all that men could do more than men could do and it was not enough. At that moment all they wanted in the world was the privilege of lying down, never to rise. Long hours before, shortly after midnight, when it had become certain that help would be needed, the wires had carried to the nearby cities Boston's appeal for aid.
The Emperor, who was suffering from severe migraine, went down into a sort of ravine, where he spent the greater part of the day walking on foot. From this spot he could see only part of the battlefield, and to see its entirety he had to climb a nearby hillock, which he did only twice during the action.
Rick Brant could appreciate the scene, but he was in no mood for it. He clutched his coat around him more tightly to keep out the penetrating desert chill. From behind a nearby dune he heard the rising, yapping howl of a jackal, one of earth's loneliest sounds. Anubis, Egyptian god of death, had the head of a jackal, he recalled. He tried to wet his lips. He was terribly thirsty.
They might prove delightful traveling companions, as the bookman had said, but they were most uncomfortable things to sit on. We reached the Grand Central station on time and went to a nearby hotel. I should have sent the heavier baggage directly to the steamer, but I was not sure absolutely sure which steamer it was to be. The "Princess Eulalie" almost certainly, but I did not dare take the risk.
It runs not alone through the man family, but every other animal as well, from the broken-hearted bird which sits on the nearby limb, and sees the wreck of her home by the ravages of a night-prowling marauder, to the squalidest of human beings, turning their backs forever on the mud-hut that had once sheltered them. To Mrs. Westmore it was a keen grief.
