My own heart seemed to rise with a leap into my throat. "Dearest! I could not think of such a thing! It is so good of you, but...." I stopped. She had sunk back in her chair. She was looking away from me. I saw the tears well up over the lids and roll slowly unchecked down her face.
The total force engaged was two hundred and seventy-four thousand, seven hundred and seventeen officers and men. The cost in money was about $1,250,000 for each day of the war, and if you reckon that up you will find that it amounts to an enormous sum of money. The only American vessel that was lost was the collier Merrimac, which was sunk in Santiago harbor by our own navy.
Her place in the house was taken by Jehiel's sister-in-law, a sickly, helpless woman, alone in the would except for Jehiel, and all the neighbors congratulated him on having a housekeeper ready to his hand. He said nothing. By that time, indeed, he had sunk into a harsh silence on all topics.
See the oil, Terence, see the oil! Mike sunk the submarine, Mike sunk it. Bully for Mike! Oh, bully! Bully! Bully! Mike sunk it, but I schemed it. Come up, Terence, I'm going to faint."

A terrible weariness deprived her limbs of their strength as she lingered there, face to face with the engulfing of Paris.
