He fully admits that parliamentary government is inevitable, and that foreign systems are in some respects worse, and, in any case, incapable of being introduced. He confines himself to suggesting that some departments of administration and legislation might be withdrawn from the influence of our party system. Fitzjames had returned to act again as Commissioner at Wells.
"A man would want some nerve to come down from that height," the latter remarked. "Any man, or woman either for that matter," Henshaw returned dogmatically, "would not hesitate to take the risk as an alternative to being trapped up there with his victim." "You are not suggesting it might have been a woman who was seen sliding down the rope?" Gifford asked pointedly. Henshaw shrugged.
The customer who wants to buy a particular picture postal card which he saw once before and to whom the salesman offers a similar one, suggesting that it is the same, is facing only one card and not a group of six. But in practical life the card which be has seen was not observed with the definite intention of keeping the memory picture in mind, and months may have passed since it was seen.

In a few words Crewe described the scene which he had witnessed in the Albemarle flat. "Impossible!" said Pinto; "are you suggesting that Maisie is Jack o' Judgment?" Crewe shrugged. "I know nothing about it," he said; "there are the facts."
His unattractiveness, suggesting, as it must, the idea of his having cause to be especially solicitous and humble, imparts to his attitude in such a case an all-subduing flavor of mystery. The instinctive belief of the other sex is that he is but protecting his sensitiveness, and each longs to tear aside the veil of dissimulation.
She hoped that her example would be followed by all the Court, and that she alone would have the merit and the profit of suggesting the idea.
Since Bessie had been guilty of the enormity of suggesting a course of reading, Fay had made many sarcastic comments on Bessie's direful clothes.
