The two monks sank down on their knees, and as Chris closed his eyes he heard a soft murmur of blessing over his head. Then each kissed his hand and Chris went to the door, half blind with tears. He heard a whisper from the bishop to the Prior, who still lingered a moment, and a half sob "God helping me!" said the Prior.
Moreover, large forces drive our operational level strategy to force-on-force engagements in the attrition warfare model of the last century with its attendant causalities and destruction of equipment.

"But she only kept on cryin' an' rockin' an' finally I got so tired listenin' to her creak an' sob that I went out an' had a real bright idea. I got the little sink scratcher an' tied a wet piece of rag to the handle an' went around behind her an' hung it suddenly in her back hair. She put up her hand an' felt it, an' give a yell that woke Elijah. You know how Jerusha Dodd acts when she's upset!
"He was all goodness, all love to me, and I have dared to find fault with him! Oh, what a base, wicked girl I am!" A choking sob stopped her, but only one. She conquered the rest, and made a forlorn attempt to change the subject. "I had something to tell you to-night, dear child," said the professor, when she was quiet again: "you seem tired, so I will make it as brief as possible."

Marietta began to sob. "Ye-es, yes," she faltered. "He he said he " "I thought so. And you pretended 'twas my my Julia, my wife.... Oh, my God! And you've been pretendin' all the time. 'Twas all cheatin' and lies, wasn't it? She she never come to you. She never told you nothin'. Ain't it so?" Poor, publicity-loving, sensation-loving Marietta's nerve was completely gone. She sobbed wildly.
He stooped down and kissed the hand that held his own, so humbly, so sorrowfully, that Angela's heart yearned over him. She understood him, and she had room, even in her great grief, to be sorry for him too. And when he withdrew his hand and turned away from her with one deep sob that he did not know how to repress, she tried to comfort him. "Dear Brian," she said, "I know I understand.
