There was also a prevalent feeling that after what had occurred they would hear no more of Home Rule, at any rate during the war. It appeared inconceivable that any sane Government could think of handing over the control of Ireland in time of war to people who had just proved their active hostility to Great Britain in so unmistakable a fashion. But they were soon undeceived. Mr.
The grim old man died fighting hard before his brains were dashed out on the roadside, and two innocent people were killed along with him; but no sane person could fail to perceive that, within five years of his taking off, the whole district was improved out of knowledge.
He was a habit with her like her bedroom slippers or her afternoon tea. He was comfortable, always safe and quite sane, which she was not, and she accepted him in the guise of counselor and friend with the same cheerful tolerance that she gave to her Aunt Harriet Westfield or to Mr. Winthrop of the Pilgrim Trust Company.

One might as well supply a farmer with the seeds of wild grasses and poisonous weeds, and ask him to grow a crop of wheat.
Roosevelt and the more stolid of the periodicals to sane and intelligible legislative projects. The reasons for the fall in the birth-rate are obvious enough. It is a necessary consequence of the individualistic competition of modern life.
It is an instance not of Bok taking the initiative that had already been taken but of throwing the whole force of the magazine with those working in the field to help.
