The fact that the head-master's daughters and several girls, who were friends or relatives of his family, shared many of our lessons, also contributed essentially to soften the manners of the young German savages.
We caught fish in the river, and made tea out of the brown berry it is very good. We had flour, a little, which we had brought with us, and I went to Fort St. John and got more. Since then, down in the valley, I have wheat every summer; for the Chinook winds blow across the mountains and soften the bitter cold. "Well, for that journey to Fort St. John.
Mortification and resentment were exprest as forcibly as his face could exhibit them. Mr. Samuel Adams seconded the motion, and that did not soften the President's physiognomy at all. In his speech naming Washington, Adams referred to him as "one who could unite the cordial exertions of all the colonies better than any other person."
All who saw them pronounced them a perfect success; but, alas! in a single month they began to soften and ferment, and finally became useless. Poor Goodyear's hopes were dashed to the ground. It was found that the aqua fortis merely "cured" the surface of the material, and that only very thin cloth made in this way was durable.
Clearly the perfection of the hen or the conception of pure air must be sacrificed.

Without a word of reproach or repining, he took his friend over the ruins of the old station, which he had made the most beautiful of all the mission properties.

Time had done much to soften the severe aspect of this sturdy habitation; creepers clung to the grey walls not wholly hiding them, but breaking up the dull uniformity of neutral tint.
During the fierce political conflicts that lasted for so many years in Lower Canada those years of trial for all true Canadians the division between the two races was not a mere line, but apparently a deep gulf, almost impossible to be bridged in the then temper of the contending parties. No common education served to remove and soften the differences of origin and language.
And so the great heart of the parliamentary Pharaoh began to soften towards the anti-vaccinators, and of this softening the first signs were discernible within three or four days of my taking my seat as member for Dunchester.
It is natural for every man to wish to excuse, or at least try to soften the lines of his mistakes with palliating reasons, and this I think right so long as the truth is adhered to, and injustice is not done any one. I hope no one will think that I have willfully trod the road to ruin, or sunk myself so low when I have desired the opposite with my whole heart.
