This faculty of selection is one of the highest artistic faculties, and it appears as much in the minor as in the major features of the narrative. It indicates that Turguenieff might, if he chose, produce a story as faultlessly symmetrical as was ever framed. Why, then, does he not so choose? The reason can only be that he deems the truth-seeming of his narrative would thereby be impaired.
The Lord will stand by you against the ruthless hand of the foe, and at the moment when He deems it right for interference peace will come once more. Why is the sympathy of the whole world with us in this struggle for freedom? Why are the strangers pouring in from Europe to assist to the maintenance of our beloved flag, to aid us in the just defence of our independence? Is it not God's hand?
The wife who submits to this form of insult, without seeking protection where alone it may be found, clearly shows that the offence is grateful to her that she deems it no insult." That, then, shall be the test! So I determined. Edgerton must be punished. There is no escape.
Harold, like Antigone, is torn between two duties his oath and the claims of his country. The hero himself; recking little, after a superstitious moment, of the concealed relics over which he swore, deems his offence to lie in swearing a vow which he never meant to keep.

Our imperial family, and even the state treasure, must flee from Vienna! And whose fault is it that we have to suffer all this? Who has brought these French down upon us?
When she plodded on in the shade of the hedge, silently thinking, she had the hard, half-apathetic expression of one who deems anything possible at the hands of Time and Chance except, perhaps, fair play. The first phase was the work of Nature, the second probably of civilization. That the man and woman were husband and wife, and the parents of the girl in arms there could be little doubt.
However degenerate may be the senses of the age at which I am living, the impressions which agreeable objects make upon them appear to me to be so much more acute, that we are wrong to mortify them. Perhaps it is a jealousy of the mind which deems the part played by the senses better than its own. I tell you in confidence, that abstinence from pleasures appears to me to be a great sin."
He deems no knight so good as he, though it has often been proved otherwise." "I shall ride after him," said one. "We shall see if his pride does not have a fall. Watch me, comrades, if you would see some sport." He sped but poorly, as it proved, for within a short time he was hurled grovelling to the earth.
