Steele stood at our backs, and I could feel his presence. He thrilled me. He had some kind of effect on the others, especially the dealer, who was honest enough while the Ranger looked on. When, however, Steele shifted his attention to other tables and players our dealer reverted to his crooked work.
"If I dared to go up and call Mr. Sparrow?" said the spinster, timidly. Her thought reverted as instantly to Mr. Sparrow, and yet with the same conscious shyness, as if she had been eighteen, and the poor old watchmaker twenty-one.
The idea of a passel of strong, husky young men settin' around on porches in their white pants and calling it 'passing the summer. I ain't never found time to pass any summers." The wanderer expressed a proper regret for this decadence. Mr. Keyts reverted bitterly to the Bon Ton market: "Good name for a tooth powder, or a patent necktie, or an egg-beater.
When Jovian withdrew the Roman protection from them, they were forced for a while to submit to the power which they disliked; but no sooner did his successors reverse his policy, and show themselves ready to uphold the Armenians and Iberians against Persia, than they naturally reverted to the Roman side, and formed an important support to the empire against its Eastern rival.
"For the wretched homeless child. Any roof over OUR heads will do for us; but of course for you it will have to be something really nice." Sir Claude's eyes reverted to Maisie, rather hard, as she thought; and there was a shade in his very smile that seemed to show her though she also felt it didn't show Mrs. Wix that the accommodation prescribed must loom to him pretty large.

But would this be a fair return for the solicitude shown by her to his uncle, for the love which had made her so patient a friend to his wife, for the nobility of her own conduct in many things? Then his mind reverted to certain jewels, supposed to be of enormous value, which were still in his possession though they were the property of this woman.
I now gave him five cloths at his request, to be eventually deducted from his pay. Half of them he gave to a slave called Mabruki, who had been procured by him for leading Captain Burton's donkey, but who had, in consequence of bad behaviour, reverted to my service.
Peter which Pope Julius had wished upon his innocent successors, although only half begun, was already in need of repair. Alexander VI had spent every penny of the Papal treasury. Leo X, who succeeded Julius in the year 1513, was on the verge of bankruptcy. He reverted to an old method of raising ready cash. He began to sell "indulgences."
She ran out of the room; and carried away with her some of my kindliest feelings, short as the time of our acquaintance had been. What a wife and what a mother was lost there and all for want of a pretty face! Left alone, my thoughts inevitably reverted to Dunboyne the elder, and to all that had happened in Mr. Gracedieu's family since the Irish gentleman had written to me in bygone years.
