And to a more direct suggestion, not daring to answer, "No," he took refuge behind such phrases as "I will see" "Perhaps later" "I don't say no" and finally uttered the unlucky words "I must see the estimates." For a whole week the actor had delved away at plans and figures, seated between his wife and daughter, who watched him in admiration, and intoxicated themselves with this latest dream.
She excited the suspicions of public librarians by asking for works on poisons. She studied faces in the street, and characters, good, bad, and indifferent, all about her. She delved in the dust of ancient times for facts or fictions so old that they were as good as new, and introduced herself to folly, sin, and misery, as well as her limited opportunities allowed.
Still student, still mathematician, he sought at Amsterdam, at Paris, at Vienna, all new theories which offered in the science of banking and finance, even as at the same time he delved still further into the mysteries of recurrences and chance. In this latter such was his success that losers made complaint, unjust but effectual, to the king, so that Law was obliged to leave Paris for a time.

"How well I can understand that in him!" He bent forward slightly. "Yes. I, too. Everything should be open in love and war. Open as the day, since both are the call of an ideal which it is so easy, so terribly easy, to degrade in the name of Victory." He paused; then went on: I don't know that the commanding officer delved so deep as that into his feelings.
You can see and take things right in your hand " We did not go to the forest nor to the jungle that day, but moved about the rim of that delved pasture-land, watching the creek from different angles, studying the trees without their insignia. We knew the main timbers only beech, oak, elm, maple and hickory and ash, blue beech and ironwood and hawthorn.
