But even the possible has not yet been achieved, so that the current idea of an organization of the writing classes, against which publishers have had to gird up their loins to fight, has very little foundation. There is nothing but a registered disorganisation.
Instantly he rang the bell and demanded Monica and had fretted himself into a fine state by the time she appeared. "What's this I hear, Monica?" he cried in his high-pitched, querulous voice. "Hasn't Meyer been registered with the police yet?" "I'm going to see to it myself in the morning, Gerry," she said. "In the morning. In the morning!" he cried, throwing up his hands.
On the 8th we got well into the Gulf stream, and the temperature of the water registered 62° to 65°. The nights had been so cold before this that I had to get out my eiderdown, but when we got into the warm water, that had to be discarded. We had a bit of a swell from the north, and we all felt a shade miserable but not enough to be really sick.
But with regard to his successors no such supposition seemed probable, until the time of Sneferu and the pyramid-builders. This was the critical view. Another school of historians accepted all the kings of the lists as historical en bloc, simply because the Egyptians had registered their names as kings. To them Teta, Ateth, and Ata were as historical as Mena.
You can pry into the coaling company's affairs and, if you are caught, it would be looked upon as an individual impertinence. If I did anything of the kind, it would reflect upon the Foreign Office and compromise our relations with a friendly state. The Adexe wharf is registered according to the laws of this country as being owned by a native company."
This was because of a pain around his heart had she known it. He had felt that pain before. "H-how do they treat you, Cynthy?" She hesitated.

She was at a loss to account for Mr. Worthington's attitude, too.
But one of the mounted archers took up the matter. "Nay, but, my lord," he said he knew Tavannes "it is the King's will there be no favour shown to-night to any, small or great. And this house is registered, and is full of heretics." "And has no cross!" the rabble urged in chorus. And they leapt up and down in their impatience, and to see the better. "And has no cross!" they persisted.
"I fancy that if they had had a real scandal to discuss," she observed, "their faces would have registered more poignant interest." "'Poignant interest'!" scoffed the manager in disgust. "If these Herringport tabbies had the toothache they would register only polite anguish in public. They are the most insular and self-contained and self-suppressed women I ever saw. These Down-Easters!
Never had it sprung into the air so quickly before. It shot up at a sharp incline and was over the tree-tops in a breath. The indicator registered eighty miles an hour before the plateau was behind them. Then the pointer whirled to ninety to a hundred to a hundred fifteen miles an hour, and both Jack, in the pilot's seat, and the others gasped for breath.
Then a Kumamoto detective, happening to visit the Fukuoka prison, saw among the toilers a face that had been four years photographed upon his brain. "Who is that man?" he asked the guard. "A thief," was the reply, "registered here as Kusabe." The detective walked up to the prisoner and said: "Kusabe is not your name. Nomura Teichi, you are needed in Kumamoto for murder." The felon confessed all.
