You talk about three meals a day, as if that were an ideal; you forget that with the eating your labor is just begun; those meals have to be digested, every one of 'em, and if you could only understand it, it would appall you to see what a fearful wear and tear that act of digestion is. In my life you are feasting all the time, but with no need for digestion.
On the other side, there was a man whom no danger could appall. Alexander had been thought dead, and the dismay among his followers was universal. He was known to have been standing an instant before the explosion on the very block-house where the 'Hope' had struck. After the first terrible moments had passed, his soldiers found their general lying, as if in a trance, on the threshold of St.
Anyway, there's nothing else to do, is there?" "Suppose," said I, solemnly, "I should take you behind that big tree and attempt to kiss you!" The prospect did not appear to appall her, so I looked around with that sneaking yet conciliatory caution peculiar to young men who are novices in the art.
And there wouldn't be any boat to pick you up nor any floating oar to catch by " The vision seemed to appall them. Fernando drew back of hand across eyes. I came in. "You wouldn't do that any more than the ant falls off the orange! Men have come back who have been almost underfoot, so far to the east had they traveled. They found there men and kingdoms and ways not so mightily unlike ours."
She declared herself ready for luncheon. There was about her a matter-of-fact acceptance of the situation as natural, even inevitable, which entranced Banneker when it did not appall him.

Our highlander views all exigencies of life with the calm fortitude and tolerant good-humor of Bret Harte's southwesterner, "to whom cyclones, famine, drought, floods, pestilence and savages were things to be accepted, and whom disaster, if it did not stimulate, certainly did not appall." It is a patriarchal existence. The man of the house is lord.
"Hush! you appall me," she said at last, timidly. "But, happily, this fearful art exists no more to tempt and destroy?" "As a more philosophical discovery, it might be amusing to a chemist to learn exactly what were the compounds of those ancient poisons," said Dalibard, not directly answering the implied question.
Men are beginning to feel each other's pains they find themselves unsatisfied by the old rule of "every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost" it used to content the successful, but now it doesn't seem to be so satisfying. The man on top is becoming lonesome, and dissatisfied, and discontented his success seems to appall him, in some mysterious manner.

When doors great and small Nine-and-ninety flew ope at our touch, should the hundredth appall? How utterly absurd, on the face of it, is such a supposition. God having given so much will surely continue to give. His love so far proven so great, it will never cease.
