To the holder of the flag Hilary pointed out Anna, lingered for a word with his subaltern, and then followed the standard to the Callenders' balcony. "Charlie has two ribs broken, but is doing well," ran a page of the diary; "so well that Flora and Madame who bears fatigue wonderfully let Captain Irby take them, in the evening, to see the illumination.
"And to think that I was doing it all to please you!" she cried reproachfully. "To please me!" "Who else? We-we don't know anybody in New York. And I wanted you to be proud of me. I've tried so hard and and sometimes you don't even look at my gowns, and say whether you like them and they are all for you."
And yet is talk a less evil than the mischief of mere experimenters. It is well there is the talk to keep many from doing positive harm. It is not those who, regarding the horrors around them as a nuisance, are bent upon their destruction, who will work any salvation in the earth, but those who see the wrongs of the poor, and strive to give them their own.
If the religious leader in question had really meant anything by his phrases, he would have been puzzled to know how a man could use a Greek coin to hold up a banner. But really he meant nothing by his phrases. "Holding up the banner" was to him a colourless term for doing the proper thing, and "talented" was a colourless term for doing it successfully.
Riddell took no notice of the inquiry, but continued rather more earnestly, "Now I'd like your advice, Wyndham, old fellow. I want to do this fellow a good turn.

He will have given his proofs and learned the meaning of life." "I beg your pardon!" said Lord Raincy, "I recognize that what you say is true. I am not sure, however, whether I can afford to let Louis go.
"But," said Miss Matty, sighing as one recovering from a blow, "perhaps it is not true. Perhaps we are doing her injustice." "No," said Miss Pole. "I have taken care to ascertain that.
But she saw, by the look he wore, that he was doing his best to convict her once again of having said something unfair and rather cheap and horrid.... Turning from him, she delivered the coup de grâce, in a voice not quite so firm as she would have wished: "I don't wish to talk to you any more. You must not speak to me again...." And she added at once, to a more congenial audience: "Oh!" "Oh, oh!
Your explanation of this Galligan case seems a sensible one, although it's depressing. But life is hard and depressing sometimes I've come to realize that. I want to think over what you've said, I want to talk over it some more. Why won't you tell me more of what you are doing? If you only would confide in me as you have now!
