In these latter days of anarchy and tumult, when there is no gospel of faith or morals, when democracy seems bent on falsifying every prediction of earlier democratic enthusiasts by developing worse dangers to liberty than any which our forefathers had to encounter, and when the misery of cities is so great, it appears absurd, not to say wrong, that we should sit still and read books.
The Spartan envoys were somewhat startled by these demands, which involved a gross breach of faith to their own allies; so they affected to ignore the proposal, and suggested a private conference between themselves and select Athenian commissioners.
These were the last words she said, and seemed the lightest until my hot brain made a harvest of them transcending thrice- told vows of love. Did they not mean, 'We two wait': therefore, 'The years are bondmen to our stedfastness. Could sweeter have been said? They might mean nothing!

Herbert Fitzgerald, from the first moment of his interrogating the woman, had of course known that he would give her somewhat. In spite of all his political economy, there were but few days in which he did not empty his pocket of his loose silver, with these culpable deviations from his theoretical philosophy.
Fully assured by these words that Mr. Edward my Mr. Gladdening words! It seemed I could hear all that was to come whatever the disclosures might be with comparative tranquillity.
