"They are no more than that you relinquish your claim to Monna Valentina, and that you find consolation as I think his Highness of Urbino has himself suggested in the Lord Guidobaldo's younger niece." Before he could reply Guidobaldo was urging him, in a low voice to accept the terms. "What else is there for you?" Montefeltro ended pregnantly.

The truth is that, except for the aforesaid stars who dwell apart, we all have the potential saint and the potential sinner, the hero and the coward, the honest man and the dishonest man within us. There is a fine poem in A Shropshire Lad that puts the case of the black sheep as pregnantly as it can be put:

This picturesque statement of practical politics meant so little to Sylvia's mind that she dismissed it unheard, admiring, in spite of her effort to take things for granted, the fabulous fineness of the little fringed napkin set under the bouillon cup. Jerry followed the direction of her eyes. "Yep tariff on linen," he commented pregnantly.

"It is the hour," he said very pregnantly. "His sands are swiftly running out. To-morrow, Agostino, you ride with me to Piacenza. Falcone shall remain here to captain the men in case any attempt should be made upon Pagliano, which is not likely."

I know now, I knew then, that he had something in his mind.... There were one or two special walks we had together, he invited me to accompany him with a certain portentousness, and we would go out pregnantly making superficial remarks about the school cricket and return, discussing botany, with nothing said.

"Yes," our friend Shorty murmured pregnantly, with his eye upon the quiet Virginian, "he's sure studying his revenge." "Studying your pussy-cat," said Scipio. "He knows what he'll do. The time 'ain't arrived."

State lotteries are pretty well relegated in these times to Latin countries, everybody knows. Yet the world's most gigantic gamble, pregnantly fruitful with chance in all variations and shadings, is unquestionably the Ceylon pearl-fishery; compared with it, any state lottery pales to insignificance.
