I fancy that Duplessis is, like all those money-getters, a seeker after fashion, and De Finisterre has not returned his bow." "My dear Alain, I am to blame; nothing is so irritating as a dispute about the worth of the men we like. I began it, now let it be dropped; only make me one promise, that if you should be in arrear, or if need presses, you will come at once to me.
In a single battle the Peloponnesians and their allies may be able to defy all Hellas, but they are incapacitated from carrying on a war against a power different in character from their own, by the want of the single council-chamber requisite to prompt and vigorous action, and the substitution of a diet composed of various races, in which every state possesses an equal vote, and each presses its own ends, a condition of things which generally results in no action at all.
Gronovius was so delighted that he insisted on having the book printed by the Plantins at his own expense. Here was a piece of good fortune Linnæus had not anticipated. Linnæus now settled down to read the proofs and help the work through the presses. But he never idled an hour.

In the vicinity of a joint, it may interfere with movement; on the medial side of the knee it may incapacitate the patient from riding. It incapacitates the patient from wearing a boot. When it presses on a nerve-trunk it causes pains and cramps.

But I do not think I could so suddenly so soon after " "Today at four o'clock, Monsieur l'Abbe. Time presses. You can add that such a marriage is the only way to stop a second duel, which will otherwise take place." "Is it possible?"
Five thousand pounds' weight of type in the printing office were worth two thousand francs as old metal; the three presses were valued at six hundred francs; the rest of the plant would fetch the price of old iron and firewood.
