I went slower and slower, and at last I turned. "It would not take me five minutes to help her," I said. "I must be careful, but I need not be a churl." And I rode rapidly back.

The Italians swept over it on the 21st and 22nd of August, but soon found themselves once more in difficult country. In the days that followed the advance was slower and more spasmodic, but it still continued.

When the circulation is feeble from debility or disease, the union of carbon and oxygen in the capillaries is slower than in health, and therefore care should be taken to preserve the heat thus generated by warm clothing and protection from cold draughts.
The next moment her mother's slower ear also distinguished the familiar reverberation occasioned by footsteps clambering up the roots of the sycamore. 'Yes it sounds like them at last, she said.
