Then, in one generous burst, she prayed for love divine, and there was many a sigh and many a tear, and at the close an "Amen!" such as, alas! we shall never, I fear, hear burst from a hundred bosoms where men repeat beautiful but stale words and call it prayer. The preacher retired, but the people still lingered spell-bound, and then arose that buzz which shows that the words have gone home.
For what he did when we got to the door was to shake hands with us ceremoniously, each in turn, to repeat his thanks for our visit and his gratitude to the musician for her services, to take off his wide-brimmed hat the only time that night and to bow us out into the darkness of the Boulevard Rochechouart.
Despite the repulse that had followed their attempts, it was by no means uncertain that they would not repeat them. The success of the bear trick was likely to tempt them to another essay in the same direction. Otto Relstaub was leaning against the solid logs, his position such that the sun, which was now near meridian, shone directly upon him.
"I can only repeat my opinion, founded upon the known pacific and honorable character of William Hinkley, and certain circumstances in the conduct of Stevens, that the two did go forth, under a previous arrangement, to fight a duel.

The history of Lamartine during the revolution of 1848 is everywhere known, and we need not repeat it. He soon gave up politics forever. Since that time he has attended only to literature.

The commissary took a few notes, and then, "What were," he inquired, "the relations of your family with the Thaller family?" "There were none." "What! Neither Mme. nor Mlle. de Thaller ever visited you?" "Never." "Do you know the Marquis de Tregars?"
And yet she had left Nikolaev afterwards with that loathsome old woman who had certainly known all about it. Kuzma Vassilyevitch was lost in conjecture and bored his orderly a good deal by making him continually describe over and over again the appearance of the girl and repeat her words.
