Their new happiness would counter-balance all. So he thought, with confidence. A glance through the window showed him Greenleaf and Abrahamson coming slowly up Manniston Road. It was eight o'clock. A few moments later he and Mr. Fulton joined them on the sidewalk. They went at once to No. 9.
Cumbersome and slow of flight, clumsy in alighting, he frequently loses his equilibrium, and is compelled to use his long tail as a counter-balance, as he jumps from branch to branch ascending a tree, in order to gain elevation, whence to swoop and flop across the intervening space to the next. When compelled to take wing from a low elevation, the flight is slow and laboured in the extreme.
The man with a pugilistic chin should endeavor to select a hat that will not make his heavy jaw as prominent as does the stiff derby, in No. 77.

I am conscious that this is the most difficult and dangerous part of my biographical work, and I cannot but be very anxious concerning it.
We should, therefore, recognise what is here suggested, and should counter-balance an undue regard for political movements and political power by the remembrance that the hardest tasks of all are accomplished by quite another power, and by a power which the politician often overlooks.
But he snatched at her as he bore past, clasping her right arm with his one whole hand, and the two swung together upon the brink. And her straining away in self preservation was vigorous enough to counter-balance his headlong impulse, and brought them reeling together to safety.
"'No, young man; I'm sorry to say there ain't' "'I was anxious to hear from home. "'Too bad; but maybe it'll come to-morrow. "I was up to fever heat, but could do nothing but wait. I went to bed late, and, raising up my pillow to put my watch under it, I found a note; it read: "'Midnight, July 17. "'DEAR JOE: "'Just thought of that rule for changing counter-balance you wanted.
