It maddened her because it brought no appeasement to that which for more than a year had been her dominating motive to do something to Chip that would bring home to him a realizing sense of what he had done to her. It was not that she wanted revenge. She was positive as to that. She wanted only to make him understand. Hitherto he hadn't understood.
We are willing, as we have always been, to negotiate honorable settlements with the Soviet Union. But we will not engage in appeasement. The Soviet rulers have made it clear that we must have strength as well as right on our side. If we build our strength and we are building it the Soviet rulers may face the facts and lay aside their plans to take over the world.
He had once more been mastered by his doubts, the terrible struggle of his heart and mind; and no solution, no appeasement had come to him from all the contradictory views he had heard the views of men who only united in predicting the disappearance of the old world, and could make no joint brotherly effort to rear the future world of truth and justice.
And then, throwing a quick glance about him, Frona, Del Bishop is a most veracious man." "Why?" she asked, perplexedly. "Because he said you'd do, you know." He kissed her, and they both spat the mud from their lips, laughing. Courbertin floundered round a corner of the wreckage. "Never was there such a man!" he cried, gleefully. "He is mad, crazy!

But he failed to find the semi-somnolence of prayer with the delightful ease he knew so well.
In them, as in the celebrated Psychomachy of Prudence, the Christian virtues meet with the shadows of forgotten gods, Holy Faith is linked to Idolatry, Humility and Pride go hand in hand, and Libertinism seeks shelter beneath the veils of Modesty. This thirst for the Supreme Good will in time find its appeasement in the just reforms brought by an organised democracy to a long-suffering people.
Heartily did Rob of the Angels insist on peace, but his words had the less force that he was puny in person, and, although capable of great endurance, unnoted for deeds of strength. Evil birds carried the words of natural and righteous anger to the ears of the new laird; no good birds bore the words of appeasement: he concluded after his kind that their chief countenanced a determined resistance.
Late in the afternoon he went back to his lodgings. In a corner of the sitting-room stood Rozsi. The thrill of triumph, the sense of appeasement, the emotion, that seized on him, crept through to his lips in a faint smile. Rozsi made no sound, her face was hidden by her hands.
