"Mr. Munster's man left this note for you," her mother said, handing it to her. She read an invitation from Miss Munster, a cousin, to a small party. "You will not be able to go," Mrs. Somers remarked to me. "You will go," Adelaide said; "it is an attention to you altogether." She never replied to her mother, never asked her any questions, so that talking between them was a one-sided affair.

I trust I shall never treat his wishes so lightly Impatient of one-sided sympathy, James exclaimed, 'As if you did not give way to him like a slave! 'Yes, like a slave, said Louis, gravely. 'I wish to give way like a son who would try to comfort him for what he has undergone. 'Now, I should have thought your feeling would have been for your mother!

Then Jenks understood that his bullet had hit the lock of the Dyak's uplifted weapon, with the result already described. By a miracle he had escaped. He coolly prepared to slay the three of them with the same calm purpose that distinguished the opening phase of this singularly one-sided conflict. The distance was much greater, perhaps 800 yards from the point where the boat came into view.

She felt relieved. Now he would take his arm away. That arm was all the worse from the fact that her shrinking from it was one-sided. "A little," she answered. "It's upstairs. Let me get it." He relaxed the arm. "Go ahead!" he said. "I'll follow up." She cried out with sudden emphasis: "No I will not. I will not." And then with subdued earnestness: "Indeed I will bring it down.

"Then don't ask me again why I hate you," returned Sara. "I told you once. But you are too superior, too one-sided, too egotistical, to see anyone but yourself!" He rose on one elbow. "You were the closest friend I ever had and you turned me down without a chance to make myself right. You never sent me word in my living death. Do you suppose I enjoy this mental hell I live in?

She accepted the Englishman's friendship. His sympathy for her won him a place in her recognition of things good and true. She did not hear the false note, she saw no step that promised evil. Only Jan and his people saw and understood the one-sided struggle, and shivered at the monstrous evil of it. At least they thought they saw and understood, which was enough.

His first proceeding is to hold the piece of money to the gas-light and to be overpowered at finding that it is yellow gold. His next is to give it a one-sided bite at the edge as a test of its quality. His next, to put it in his mouth for safety and to sweep the step and passage with great care.

It can only be brought about by recognising that evil, in so far as it is not atavistic or perverse, is as natural and indispensable as the good, and that it becomes a permanent evil only through its one-sided supremacy. The educator wants the child to be finished at once, and perfect.

But they were still far too one-sided, and when the five remaining horsemen whirled at a signal and charged full upon them it looked as if there would be a sudden ending of the battle. Both Tarzan and Abdul sprang to the shelter of the rocks, that they might keep the enemy in front of them.
