"We could go on forever as we are now and she be none the less pleased," he told himself.
"Horseflies, gnats and mosquitoes add to the joys of living throughout the entire length of the Yukon valley. The horsefly is larger and more poignantly assertive than the insect which we know by that name. In dressing or undressing, it has a pleasant habit of detecting any bare spot in the body and biting out a piece of flesh, leaving a wound which a few days later looks like an incipient boil.
More men had arrived through the day, other fires were burning, and an acrid odor of scorched fat and boiling coffee rose in the delicate evening. A small group was passing about a flasklike bottle; a figure lay in a stupor on the clay; a mutter of voices, at once cautious and assertive, joined argument to complaint.

Half dazed, to all seeming, she moved toward the boat. With clumsy and assertive gallantry her father stepped before her, offering his hand, his hand which she did not touch; for, in the act of descending, she remembered and swung impulsively back to Kirkwood.

Miss Demarest at once rose, waiting for the woman to come forward. This she did with a quick, natural step which insensibly prepared the mind for the brisk, assertive woman who now presented herself.

It was as though the physical Jerry that I knew had been subjected to some searching test which had eliminated all superfluities, refined the good metal in him, solidified, unified him. And the physical was symbolic of the spiritual change.
It is charming to have such a guard of honour, but I am wondering wondering eh, monsieur l'avocat, is it legal?" The Avocat made no reply, but the Cure's face was greatly troubled. The Seigneur's momentary placidity passed. "I answer for their legality, your Excellency," he said, in a high, assertive voice.
