Holt; "I am sure you would be interested in our work." "I'd be so glad to, Mrs. Holt," replied Honora, "if only I didn't live in the country." She came away as usual, feeling of having run into a cul de sac. Mrs.
The approach to it was by a long precipitous glen, that could be entered only at its lower end, and seemed to terminate against the abrupt side of the mountain, like a cul de sac. At the very extremity, however, of this termination, and a little on the right-hand side, there was a steep, narrow pass leading into a recess which was completely encompassed by precipices.
I shall not commit my sex by conceding this to be true as a whole, but I will accept the first half of it, and I will go so far as to say that we do not always care to follow out a train of thought until it ends in a blind cul de sac, as some of what are called the logical people are fond of doing.

There could be no mistake about that, for the canyon ended in a sheer cliff that towered two hundred feet above him, and in this horrible cul de sac lay the bleached bones of two burros and a man.
The limousine swung in to the narrow sidewalk, and pulled up close by a yard gate. I, too, had seen our quarry a long, low bodied car, showing no inside lights. It had turned the next corner, where a street lamp shone greenly, not a hundred yards ahead. Smith leaped out, and I followed him. "That must be a cul de sac," he said, and turned to the eager-eyed chauffeur.
The active temperament is almost bound to misunderstand the imaginative or artistic spirit and its difficulties. A real cul de sac was to Algitha almost unthinkable.
