Oh, the blessed enchantment of those Saturday runaways in the prime of the spring! How our young wondering eyes reveled in the sunny, breezy glory of the hills and the sky, every particle of us thrilling and tingling with the bees and glad birds and glad streams!
The violence of the attack quickly subsided, but there remained a faintness which drove away every particle of appetite, and it was well that such was the case, for had he taken any food in his condition the result must have been serious.
But forgive me, senor, if I say that of all this you have told us now, may God take me I was just going to say the devil if I believe a single particle." "What!" said the cousin, "has Senor Don Quixote, then, been lying? Why, even if he wished it he has not had time to imagine and put together such a host of lies." "I don't believe my master lies," said Sancho.
"You believe that Ned Patterdale didn't get all her speed out of the Sea Foam," added the commodore. "I don't mean to say a word to disparage Ned; but he don't know the Sea Foam as you do the Skylark." "There is hardly a particle of difference between the boats." "I know it; but you have had so much more experience than Ned, that he ought not to be expected to compete with you.
The chain-gang consisted of a number of men varying from twelve to twenty-five, all chained to one sixty-four pound ball. They were also stationed near the Star Fort, standing out in the hot sun, without a particle of shade over them. When one moved they all had to move.

Captain Ross found embedded in the conglomerate on the outer coast a well-rounded fragment of greenstone, rather larger than a man's head: he and the men with him were so much surprised at this, that they brought it away and preserved it as a curiosity. The occurrence of this one stone, where every other particle of matter is calcareous, certainly is very puzzling.
Will not one of them, some day or other, traversing space, appear on our earth to conquer it, just as the Norsemen formerly crossed the sea in order to subjugate nations more feeble than themselves? We are so weak, so unarmed, so ignorant, so small, we who live on this particle of mud which turns round in a drop of water.
The fact that steam and snow can be changed back into water, and by simple manipulation cannot be changed into any other substance, finds, as we now believe, its true explanation in the fact that the molecular structure, as we phrase it that is to say, the ultimate particle of which water is composed, is not changed, and this is precisely the explanation which Anaxagoras gave of the same phenomena.
The elements therefore may be regarded as retaining their identity in all ordinary experience. One part of the ether is precisely like any other part everywhere and always, and there are no such distinctions in it as correspond with the elemental forms of matter. There is an ultimate particle of each one of the elements which is practically absolute and known as an atom.
You have never mentioned such a thing to me before." "Oh yes, I did," she was studying his startled face curiously, "or rather you told me you knew about it that you had heard of it." "But I had never heard of it I never dreamed of it till this minute. Besides that would not make a particle of difference to me. It would only make me love you more it does make me love you more."
