She struck her breast as a penitent at the confessional, and flushed and excited, coming toward the bed, she continued: "So much the worse. A pretty girl must live or suffer she has no choice!" Then returning to her former idea: "Much they deny themselves, your 'honest women. They are worse, because nothing compels them.
"Ah, ah! these will save me from going to the Jews as yet," he exclaimed. "I will keep the jewels and other things till any future necessity compels me to part with them." Having examined the coin to assure himself that he was not mistaken, he was glancing carelessly over the papers, when his eye fell on a name which attracted his attention.
All the ill-deeds that a man commits have some colour of excuse either contempt which provokes, need which compels, love which blinds, or anger which breaks the neck.
I regret that my promise of utter candour compels me to bear witness to my own foolishness; for when Maitland found it necessary to take Jeannette into the back parlour and to remain there alone with her in earnest conversation one hour and twelve minutes I happened to notice the exact time it seemed to me he was getting unpleasantly confidential, and it nettled me.
A straight, tall avenue leads to the grounds of the castle; what I owe to exactitude compels me to add that it is crossed by the railway-line. The place is so arranged, however, that the chateau need know nothing of passing trains, which pass, indeed, though the grounds are not large, at a very sufficient distance.
The Englishman, when emotion compels him, speaks more readily in poetry than prose; it is the natural result of our great poetic tradition; and in the remarkable collections of war poetry written by English soldiers we have the English counterpart to the French prose utterance of the war so much more eloquent and effective, generally, than our own.

Is the strong and mighty hand, which compels yonder heavenly bodies to roll onward in their carefully-appointed orbits, not delicate enough to prescribe the conditions of the flight of the bird, and the beating of the human heart?" "There we are again with the heart," said the poet smiling, "are you any nearer your aim?" The physician became very grave.
The dread of the proctor compels tandem drivers to send their leaders a distance out of town; and many an excited youth, on the day of a neighbouring steeplechase, is stopped, when driving out of the city, with "Your name, sir, and of what college?" "Lord R. Christchurch." "Go back to your rooms, my lord, and call on me in an hour at Worcester."
"Wait, wait," said the good counselor, "until the turmoil has subsided, and the hard pressure of circumstances compels her to look at things in their natural relations. She is too sore now in the wreck of all her hopes." But, indeed, her hopes were not all surrendered in a moment. She had more spirit than her husband in their calamity.
