Finding him disinclined for talk, Rose read her husband's letter without taking any further notice of him by whom it had been brought. At length she broke the awkward silence; replacing the letter in her bosom and turning to Alain, she said: "I must go and get your chamber ready. I shall be back anon." And she left the room by the concealed door.
He stood behind the counter with the glass my mother had returned to him in his hand. Then comprehension grew. "By Gosh!" he said. "Lord!" he cried. His glasses fell off. He disappeared replacing them, behind a pile of boxed-up bottles of blood mixture. "Eleven thousand virgins!" I heard him cry. The glass was banged down. "O-ri-ental Gums!" He shot away out of the shop through some masked door.
It is the means by which, in the human system, force is developed, and growth and decay rendered possible. The process, in itself, is one of the simplest. It is merely the replacing of one microscopic cell by another; and yet upon this simple process hang the issues of life and death, of thought and power.

Some time was necessary to write to his agent, or even to apply to his good host at Charlie's Hope, who would gladly have supplied him. In the meantime he resolved to avail himself of Meg's subsidy, confident he should have a speedy opportunity of replacing it with a handsome gratuity.
"You are crushed by the avalanche of ideas that have rolled down upon you. What sort of future will this universal education bring upon us unless we prevent its evils by replacing public education in the hands of the religious bodies?"
He should have visited it long before: it had a suspicious look altogether. It would also have been nearly impossible to carry the hare so many miles by daylight and past villages: even with the largest pockets it would have been doubtful, for the hare had stiffened as he lay stretched out. So, carefully replacing him just as we found him, we left the spot and re-entered the copse.
This was absolutely necessary, for, in many places, the facing was leaving the core, and, in some, pieces of it had already fallen.
