He sent her flowers, for which she did not thank him, books which she did not read; wrote her long letters of the clever kind, discussing topics of the day or remarks she herself had made, which she left unanswered; called, but never found her at home, yet still persisted, until she was fain to exclaim: "Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?" "It is your own fault," said Angelica.
"For," said Dr. Grey, "we must not forget, Christian, that she loved the children when they had not quite so much love as they have now." No, Arthur was not thrashed was promised faithfully that Phillis should never be allowed to thrash him any more; but his step-mother made him write the meekest, humblest letter of apology to his Aunt Henrietta, which that lady returned unanswered.
From long practice some of these Indians can so perfectly imitate the sounds of the female moose that they can deceive the males, and thus bring them toward them. These artificial sounds were not long unanswered. Louder and louder still were the roarings that came at intervals from the deep forest.
Do not desire and consciousness together represent a something which does not belong to the physical domain and which forms the moral world? This question I leave unanswered. After having separated from the consciousness that which it is not, let us try to define what it is. This and the two following chapters are devoted to this study.
For six days Madame de Grantmesnil's letter remained unanswered, unread, neglected, thrust out of sight; just as when some imperious necessity compels us to grapple with a world that is, we cast aside the romance which, in our holiday hours, had beguiled us to a world with which we have interests and sympathies no more.

The document, when completed, seemed to her worthy of what she conceived to be Deering's conception of a woman of the world, and she found a spectral satisfaction in the thought of making her final appearance before him in that distinguished character. But she was never destined to learn what effect the appearance produced; for the letter, like those it sought to excuse, remained unanswered.
"All life proceeds from antecedent life." Think it out for yourself and you will see that it could not possibly be otherwise. Whatever may be our theory of the origin of life on the physical plane, whether we regard it as commencing in a vivified slime at the bottom of the sea, which we call protoplasm, or in any other way, the question of how life got there still remains unanswered.
"When one bears these things in mind and looks a little into the future," Norgate continued, "one might easily believe that the reply to that still unanswered letter of the Kaiser's might well become historical." "You would like me, would you not," she asked, "to tell you what that reply will most certainly be?" "Very much!"
I broke into a cold perspiration when I fancied myself called upon to deliver a lecture on the comparative sea-bottomy of the Oceanic globe, or give my theory of the simultaneous sighting by 'little Billee' of Madagascar, and North, and South Amerikee. Honestly, I had not the courage to accept; and, young Jackanapes as I was, left the Secretary's letter unanswered.
Nothing could be seen of our late companions; and my loud and repeated calls to them were unanswered.
