It has cost me a long and hard struggle to realise the thousands of pounds that were requisite; for some of the goods had got damaged by damp in the cavern of the Isle of Palms, but the profits of my engineering and shipwright business have increased of late, and I have managed to square it all off with interest. And now, Mary, I can do no more.
It was hard, indeed, before the thirtieth day after her marriage, to find herself but one in a numerous family the harder that our union had from the first been close, intimate, unrestrainedly confidential, as it can hardly be where neither expects that the tie can remain exclusive; and because she had learned to realise and rest upon such love as belongs to a life in which woman, never affecting the independence of coequal partnership, has never yet sunk by reaction into a mere slave and toy.
She threw herself in Mark's arms and laid her hand on his shoulder. If she went away into the far distance with him, she thought, he could not tear himself from her, and once alone with her he must realise that life was only life in her presence. "Will you decide!" he asked seriously. She said nothing, but bowed her head. "Or do you fear your Grandmother?"

I see now there is nothing for it but the tower.
Hollingsworth Chase was dazzled. He discovered, much to his subsequent amusement, that he was holding his breath as he stared at her from the opposite side of the banquet hall, which had been transformed into a ballroom. She had just entered with the Deppinghams. Something seemed to shout coarsely, scoffingly in his ear: "Now, do you realise the distance that lies between?
Jornicroft in some amazement "it's awfully kind, but why should you?" "Mrs. Boldero has got to be carried. I didn't realise it. She can't put her feet to the ground. Some one has got to lift her at every stage of the journey. And I'm not going to let any damned clumsy fellow handle her.
Did she realise that Val was at his best and quietest in her presence, and was that, perhaps, half the secret of his attraction for her? "I never said anything about our ride, Val." "Rather not! It's just between us." By the uneasiness of his hands and the fidgeting of his feet he was giving her a sense of power very delicious; a soft feeling too the wish to make him happy.
It is the law that we can command the powers of the universal for our own purposes only in proportion as we first realise and obey their generic character. We can employ water for any purpose which does not require it to run up-hill, and we can utilise electricity for any purpose that does not require it to pass from a lower to a higher potential.
The assembly declared that the refusal of his sanction could not be prolonged by the prince beyond two sessions; and this decision satisfied every one. The court took advantage of the agitation in Paris to realise other projects. For some time it had influenced the king's mind.
