"In Europe," observed Wolston, "there is nothing so durable as the temporary." "In Europe, yes, but not here. To-morrow morning we shall select a tree near Falcon's Nest, and in eight days you shall be permanently housed in an aerial tenement close to ours, so that we may chat to each other from our respective balconies."
It would have been far better had Parliament, instead of deciding on coercion, withdrawn altogether from the colonies, for although hitherto the Americans had shown no great fighting qualities, it was clear that so small an army as England could spare could not permanently keep down so vast a country if the people were determined upon independence.
They grow together, and meet with destruction together. Having obtained this form of existence I have not been permanently enslaved by it. Since I know this, I have no cause for sorrow in consequence of that knowledge. As the final resting-place of all rivers is the ocean, even so the end of all embodied creatures is death.
"One of the greatest political surprises in many years was the arrival in the capital on Wednesday of Judge Bass, whom it was thought, had permanently retired from politics. This, at least, seems to have been the confident belief of a faction in the state who have at heart the consolidation of certain lines of railroads.
Thus we say, the legislature holds a daily session of four hours; or, it holds two sessions a day, as the case may be. Meetings of the legislature are held at a place permanently fixed by the constitution; at which place the principal state officers keep their offices. Hence it is called the seat of government, or perhaps more frequently, the capital of the state.
"Why, your passage is paid for, and my plans You know Ethel Quintard and her mother are sailing on the same boat. No, most certainly I shall not let you off!" "Well, if that's the way you feel about it," he sighed again, "perhaps we'd better drop this matter also temporarily." "This matter we'll also drop permanently," his mother said, again with her calm, incontrovertible emphasis.
A base line permanently fixed on the ship is the one side of a triangle required. The distance of the object to be hit is determined by its being the apex of an imaginary triangle, and at each of the other angles, at the two ends of the base line, is fixed a spyglass. These are directed at the object.
The oxygen, though a permanent element in the atmosphere, tends constantly to enter into combinations which fix it temporarily or permanently in the earth, in which it forms, indeed, in its combined state about one half the weight of all the mineral substances we know.
A great collection of freaks, aren't they, Captain Warren?" "Kind of. But that old book-shop man and his wife seem nice folks. And, as for freaks, the average boardin' house, city or country, seems to draw 'em like flies. I guess most anybody would get queer if they boarded all the time." "Perhaps so. Or, if they weren't queer, they wouldn't board permanently from choice.
Lands can be annexed by a successful campaign; they can be permanently conquered only by the operations of peace. The people who survive will be a weakness to the German Empire unless they accept what they are offered, a share in the German creed. That creed has not many natural attractions for the peoples on whom it is imposed by force.
