I, too, wished to be mashed. And suddenly I was aware that my wife knew that I was thinking thus. With an effort I turned and began a stumbling run through the Park. I remember nothing of my flight, except the stress of blundering against trees and stumbling over the railings. To blunder against some trees is very stressful. At last I could go no further: I had run full tilt into a gasworks.
His answer was an evasion, and she knew it. "I'm staying home to see some men. That's all." But the moment's fear was too stressful to be so easily set at rest. "Wait do you hear?" She slipped from the bed, and, with her eyes still fastened on him she groped about till she found her down slippers.
Indigestible foods and misdigestion are also stressful irritations, as are mild recreational poisons such as "soft" drugs, tobacco and alcohol. Opiates are somewhat more toxifying, primarily because they paralyze the gut and induce profound constipation. Stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines are the most damaging recreational drugs; these are highly toxic and rapidly shorten life.
The lame foot was pounding the deck with the stressful stamp that was always his indication of rage. He halted before us with fists clenched and his eyes glittering. Upon Lawrence he vented an outpouring of blasphemous and unquotable wrath. "Throw that damned fiddle overboard," was the command with which he capped his fierce tirade.

She had admired him almost unconsciously for his daring at the town hall that day, when his strong calm had stood out in such sharp contrast to the fluster and excitement of the men about him; of them all, indeed, it had seemed to her in those stressful moments that he was the only man, and she was although she did not realize it in danger of being proud of him. Then again the thing he had done.
But Morrison was not only honest. He was honourable, too; and on this stressful day, before this amazing emissary of Providence and in the revulsion of his feelings, he made his great renunciation. He cast off the abiding illusion of his existence. "No. No. They are not good. I'll never be able to squeeze them. Never. I've been saying for years I would, but I give it up.
And all putting in and getting nothing out results in stressful times, in business ventures as in the case of individuals. The great shafts sank deeper and deeper, the galleries branched out far under the sea, and there was a constant call for more and more money, lest that already sunk should be lost. Mr.
That this work of the intellect was carried out on a level far above the one on which the human mind customarily operates did not make the effort any the less real or stressful.
