Thus were the heavy clouds of fear slowly dissipating when a turn in the trail brought them suddenly upon the headless body of their erstwhile companion lying directly in their path, and they were again plunged into the depth of fear and gloomy forebodings.
A few of their beliefs are sinister such as that in demon-foxes, which public education is rapidly dissipating; but a large number are comparable for beauty of fancy even to those Greek myths in which our noblest poets of today still find inspiration; while many others, which encourage kindness to the unfortunate and kindness to animals, can never have produced any but the happiest moral results.
"Do I?" Margaret assembled the four manikins into a smart little group. The doll Beulah rose, on her forefinger. "I can't help feeling," mimicked Margaret in a perfect reproduction of Beulah's earnest contralto, "that we're wasting our lives, criminally dissipating our forces." The doll Gertrude put up both hands.
There was a stink of dead men, bilge, and powder. But what a change from when he was last here! Then sights so ghastly that he dared not recall them: screams of torn men, rending of torn planks; howling terrors on every side, shattering his head, bursting his heart, dissipating his mind.

His hair is partly white; his memory very good and his chief delight is talking about God and his goodness.
Cooler reflection, however, came to his aid, dissipating, or at least unveiling, these phantoms of a diseased fancy, and convincing him that precipitation could but ruin his last chance of success. It would indeed, he felt, be impracticable to regain the Christino lines in broad daylight.
"Frankly, I hardly recognise you, you used to be so careless and happy." "Frankly," echoed the girl, "you, too, have altered, cousin mine. You're dissipating. Even here one grows to recognise the signs." The man flushed. It is far easier in this world to give frank criticism than to receive it.
