Will his heart become softened or expand who breathes the atmosphere of a dungeon? Solitary confinement is the bitterest torment that human ingenuity can inflict. The least objectionable method of depriving a criminal of the power to harm society is banishment or transportation. Expose him to the stimulus of necessity in an unsettled country. New conditions make new minds.
This rule ought to be put in large letters, that every one who has to train children may be daily reminded by it; and not exercise his soul and spend his force in trying to overcome little things which may perhaps be objectionable, but which will vanish to-morrow. Concentrate your energies on the overcoming of such tendencies as may in time develop into permanent evils.
They should not have been playing where they could be seen, in the open air; they should have taken their objectionable game out of sight, into some private house, as the middle-classes do and as, I suppose, the policeman himself must have done in his time, since he knew the game.

Trapped furs are of the greatest value. The use of poison is objectionable as a means of capture in animals especially desired for their fur.
He especially loathed the smaller wrinkles that made tiny squares and diamonds around the back of Breede's neck. Sartorially, also, Bean found Breede objectionable. He forever wore the same kind of suit.
"I guess that ought to hold you for a while, Pete," Miss Georgie approved under her breath, and stared after Grant curiously. "'You're mentally incapable of recognizing the line of demarcation between legitimate persiflage and objectionable familiarity. I'll bet two bits you don't know what that means, Pete; but it hits you off exactly. Who is this Mr. Imsen?" She got no reply to that.
