Whether, with extended arm, he strangles the "reluctantes dracones" of democracy, or with every faculty called home, concentrates the light and heat of his being in developing into principles those great sentiments and great instincts which are his inspiration; in all, the orator stands forth with the majesty and chastened grace of Pericles himself.
"Explin you kin explin explin." But she couldn't explain. So, chastened, she meekly bought the roast beef at his price. Yesterday a U. C. girl was in and asked, "You are a Greek, are you not?" "Naw," he answered, "you min Grrik." Billboards or Art If you like billboards you are not artistic. Take it or leave it. That's the criterion. It's not my verdict.
For some relate that he was sprung from giants, and betrayed his monstrous birth by an extraordinary number of hands, four of which, engendered by the superfluity of his nature, they declare that the god Thor tore off, shattering the framework of the sinews and wrenching from his whole body the monstrous bunches of fingers; so that he had but two left, and that his body, which had before swollen to the size of a giant's, and, by reason of its shapeless crowd of limbs looked gigantic, was thenceforth chastened to a better appearance, and kept within the bounds of human shortness.
Even the coldest and most blasé of the guests had warmed up and caught fire at the blaze of excitement and enjoyment. The ball-room was dazzling in the beauty of its decorations and the soft effulgence of the shaded electric light, in which the magnificent jewels of the titled and wealthy women seemed to glow with a subdued and chastened fire.
Hearing a moan they looked over into the khud, where the monster Kabuli was coming to. He managed to raise one hand, but the movement of the fingers somehow struck the pity from Carlin's heart. It was not a clean gesture of a chastened man. Even though his body was terribly bruised and broken, the face was that of Ravage in person. Carlin pulled her companion on.

Mark and Bridget, however, pondered deeply on these things; the influence of which coloured and chastened their future lives.
When she returned to us, Jessica finished her story in the chastened spirit which follows such an interruption, and there were ten minutes of talk. We forgot the bare little room; old memories softly enfolded us; the Katrina we knew and loved dominated the situation. "Ka-tri-na!" Katrina's soft lips were not smiling now, but she rose at once, and with a murmured apology left the room.
Side by side with such chastened literary art as that of Thackeray and George Eliot, Matthew Arnold and John Morley, Lecky and Froude, Maine and Symonds, side by side with a Carlylese tendency to extravagance, slang, and caricature, we find another vein in English prose the flat, ungainly, nerveless style of mere scientific research. What lumps of raw fact are flung at our heads!
The thing to do is to get a move on." Aaron looked up with a glimpse of a smile. The two men were sitting before the fire at the end of a cold, wet April day: Aaron convalescent, somewhat chastened in appearance. "Ay," he said rather sourly. "A move back to Guilford Street." "Oh, I meant to tell you," said Lilly. "I was reading an old Baden history.
You can go ahead now with your high plans, with your Big Idea. You will marry Miss Bruce, and forget." "I shall remember with chastened memory, but I shall never forget," he said at length.
