A sedentary life in a damp room; a cramped position before the barred window these conditions had vitiated the blood in the absence of proper exercise, especially as the patient continually breathed an atmosphere saturated with the fetid exhalations of the gutter.
The benighted policy of keeping in power a mawkish Sicilian Court, saturated with the incurable vices of cowardice, falsehood, dishonesty, and treachery, failed; and the Government of the day was saddled with the crime of squandering human life, wealth, and energy without receiving any commensurate return.
"I don't like to think that you fool yourself," she replied, with a perspicacity I should have found extraordinary. Throughout my life there have been days and incidents, some trivial, some important, that linger in my memory because they are saturated with "atmosphere."
We know that, while surrounded by an atmosphere overcharged, or even only saturated with moisture, moist bodies remain moist, or do not part with that excess of moisture from which a drier atmosphere would relieve them; and that living bodies, so circumstanced, are threatened with typhus and typhoid fever.
When Lindisfarne became a priory cell to Durham, this famous manuscript still remained in the city of St. Cuthbert which had fallen into the sea."

All that could be done was to keep the gig afloat, and to this the captain and mate directed all their energies. Food was distributed, and of water they felt no want, their saturated garments having quenched all thirst; but matters seemed to grow worse. Mr Morgan was delirious, and one of the men lay rambling on about some place in London where he meant to have called.
The bare splice is then wrapped tightly with cotton or silk tape to a thickness slightly greater than that of the insulation of the cable, and is thoroughly saturated with the insulating compound until all moisture previously absorbed by the tape is driven off. The lead sleeve is then brought over the splice and wiped to the cable.
It was a good place and a good life for any naturally- minded youth; better yet for the student of painting, and perhaps best of all for the student of letters.
