"We might have done. Only one gets into habits of mind." He thought for a time. "Now," he said, "it seems such an obvious thing." "Of course! The moon must be enormously cavernous, with an atmosphere within, and at the centre of its caverns a sea.
The girl's heart indeed was young at last, for the neighbourhood of Connie was infectious. The fairy-godmothering of that young woman was going finely. It was the secret hope at the centre of her own life which was playing like captured sunshine upon all the persons about her. Her energy was prodigious.
On our small piece of land, we yet consider ourselves the centre of the universe. It is to be hoped if this revolution occurs, after all, that the climate will change likewise. We should require something more besides blue paint in most of our English winters! Perhaps we take too much thought for what we shall put on.
The last shell fired by the retreating Spaniards struck the battle-ship twenty feet abaft the stem on the port side. It passed through the hull about three feet below the main-deck line, and failed to explode until striking an iron stanchion at the centre line of the berth-deck.

Now these mews were of such wonderful beauty, that I must needs append a description of them here. First there was a grand portico, and within a corridor with ranges of pillars on each side, round which were hung antlers and horns of all the animals of the chase. This led to the pond with the island in the centre, where the bear was kept, as I have already described.
"Down into the centre of the earth, possibly," and the handsome Englishman moved a stool to the table and took the glass of green-colored wine that Johnston pushed toward him.
