Yet the rasping note is welcome during the early days of its arrival, since, just as the cuckoo gave earlier message of spring, so the corncrake, in sadder vein, heralds the ripeness of our briefer summer.
Minutes passed, and the immeasurable heaving recommenced one, two, three, four ... seven long swells this time; and the Gulf smoothed itself once more. Irregularly the phenomenon continued to repeat itself, each time with heavier billowing and briefer intervals of quiet until at last the whole sea grew restless and shifted color and flickered green; the swells became shorter and changed form.
During the hour that followed his voice grew dogged and his remarks briefer, as he continually purchased more chips from the now surprised and sympathetic dealer. It was really wonderful how steadily Lin lost just as steadily as his predecessor had won after that meeting of eyes early in the evening.
Therefore we like her. Only we don't. This brief syllogism, and its briefer negative, involving the principle which some English conveyancer borrowed from a French wit and embodied in the lines by which Dr. Fell is made unamiably immortal, this syllogism, I say, is one that most persons have had occasion to construct and demolish, respecting somebody or other, as I have done for the Model.

In presenting the treaty, Senator Lodge assured his hearers that "no military or naval sanction lurks anywhere in the background or under cover of these plain and direct clauses," and Secretary Hughes in closing the discussion declared that it would probably not be possible to find in all history "an international document couched in more simple or even briefer terms," but he added, "we are again reminded that the great things are the simple ones."
All of which danced before Nick's intellectual vision for a space briefer than my too numerous words. "I pitched into your treasures I rummaged among your canvases," Peter said. "Biddy had nothing whatever to do with it she maintained an attitude of irreproachable reserve. It has been on my conscience all these days and I ought to have done penance before.
Fields casually mentioned that he thought "The Dandelion" was the most popularly liked of Lowell's briefer poems, and I made haste to say that I thought so too, though I did not really think anything about it; and then I was sorry, for I could see that the poet did not like it, quite; and I felt that I was duly punished for my dishonesty.
He seemed to obey with reluctance; his eyes still strayed. Mrs. Ormonde kept a subdued smile, and did her best to talk with ease of matters connected with his voyage, and the like. Walter's replies grew briefer. He said at last: 'The two years come to an end to-morrow. 'They do. Mrs. Ormonde joined her hands upon her lap. She avoided his look.
