The agricultural villages of the surrounding region agriculture appears to have been introduced among the Libyans at a very early period, probably anterior to the Phoenician settlement, and presumably from Egypt were subdued by force of arms, and the free Libyan farmers were transformed into fellahs, who paid to their lords a fourth part of the produce of the soil as tribute, and were subjected to a regular system of recruiting for the formation of a home Carthaginian army.

Her expression was set and stern, but her eyes stared into his with a gentle, sorrowful gaze that belied the sternness of her lips. They told her, as gently as they could, of the death of her father and the disappearance of the Very Young Man, presumably with Aura.

What he meant to say, presumably the girl would be at the game this afternoon, whooping him on, and good old Biddle would be so full of beans and buck that there would be no holding him. Encouraged by these thoughts, Archie lunched with an untroubled mind. Luncheon concluded, he proceeded to the lobby to buy back his hat and stick from the boy brigand with whom he had left them.

She debated, then continued: "Lots of times!" Mrs. Wix glared askance an instant; such approval as her look expressed was not wholly unqualified. It expressed at any rate something that presumably had to do with her saying once more: "Yes. He's afraid of her."

"You are going presumably to Blois?" he stammered with a nervous laugh, as if the journey were a humorous proceeding. "Yes, Monsieur," answered Genevieve, "we are going home." "Why, then, it is possible that we shall meet again. I, too, am travelling in that direction. A bientot, Mesdemoiselles!"

She doesn't even wear her ring any more and they both appear to think the fact it presumably represents can be disposed of as summarily." "Let them alone," advised his wife. "They are all right. It won't do them a bit of harm to let themselves go a bit.

By February "the Original Company who perform'd Pasquin" are notified on the bills; and on the 2nd of March a performance is announced of a Dramatick Tale of the King and the Miller of Mansfield, presumably the same Miller of Mansfield openly declared by one of Walpole's "hired scribblers" to be aimed at the overthrow of the Ministry.

I cannot understand it! 'What did you want to see me about? I asked. She hesitated. It was always an effort for her to be direct. Now, apparently, the effort was too great. The next moment she had rambled off on some tortuous bypath of her own, which, though it presumably led in the end to her destination, was evidently a long way round.

I may say that it is no longer a question of economizing time, but of giving it a price, a quotation; of representing in a pecuniary sense those products developed by time which presumably you possess in the region of your intellect; of representing also the moral qualities with which you are endowed, and which are, Monsieur, living forces, as living as a cataract, as a steam-engine of three, ten, twenty, fifty horse-power.

The "shadow" came very close indeed, presumably to try and read over his shoulder from behind, but he side-stepped into a corner and read the telegram with his back to the wall. It was in English, no doubt to escape suspicion; and because it was war-time, and the censorship had closed on India like a throttling string, it was not in code.
