When a woman tries to prevent a quarrel between two men, she does so, believe me, out of pure self-love. The emotions which electrify your nerves torment ours. I could not have continued to live here had a tragic occurrence made the place memorable. That is why I prevented an encounter between you and the colonel; so you need not thank me.
The secret, then, lay in a presentation of the divine message which would convince and transform and electrify those who heard it to action a presentation of the message in terms which the age could grasp.
The information seemed to electrify the little knot addressed; for they began to rush around, and in a few moments they all were in their uniforms, and surrounding the colonel, who, having brushed his hair with the aid of a little glass hung on a bush, had hurried into his coat and was buckling on his sword and giving orders in a way which at once satisfied Frank that he was every inch a colonel.
Did it electrify his hearers? Perhaps. Even the senator was so choked with laughter that he was forced to cast loose one of the buttons which held on his turn-down collar, and Farrar retired into the woods. But the gravity of Mr. Cooke's countenance remained serene. "Old man," he said to the Celebrity, "you'll have to learn the price of potatoes now. Here are Mr. Drew's duplicates; try 'em on."
Professor Arrhenius explains, for instance, the polar auroras by the action of similar corpuscules emitted by the sun.

"Walter will be more successful as a farmer than as a scholar," said Mr. Nelson. "He helps me a good deal." "Tom was a good scholar," said Sarah, "and he was always ready to work too. Walter will never astonish or electrify the world by his learning." "I don't want to," said her brother. "It isn't in my line." "That's true enough." "Don't tease Walter," said Mrs. Nelson.
We're gitting on first-rate those rods on the stairs " "Yes?" exclaimed Miss Crampton. "We air of a scientific turn, we air Augustus John and I fixing wires to every one of them.
