To prove it your servant shall bring the girl here and you may see her for yourself. I've no love secrets." "What if you had, man? No one would blame you. Not I for one. Get as much enjoyment as you can out of life, but not in excess. 'Tis excess that kills," said Arbuthnot laying his hand on Gay's. There was a meaning in the contact which emphasised the doctor's words.
My tone had a significance which, I could see, did make her uneasy, and there was a moment, after I had made two or three more remarks of studiously bewildering effect, at which her eyes followed so hungrily the little flourish of the letter with which I emphasised them that I instinctively slipped Mr. Pudney's communication into my pocket.
In internal affairs this may lead to the ruthless oppression of individuals or whole classes; in external relations it produces wars waged with 'methods of barbarism. The whole idea of the state as an organism, which has been emphasised by social reformers as a theoretical refutation of selfish individualism, rests on the abuse of a metaphor.
Seymour Michael leant forward and emphasised his remark by tapping on the table with his gloved finger. "The mission is so extremely dangerous that it comes almost to the same thing." "What do you mean?" inquired Arthur Agar, whose gentle intellect only compassed subtleties of the drawing-room type.

Of Mrs. Maitland there was practically nothing that I already did not know from having seen her name in the papers.

There had been something about those two sauntering figures, so close together, that had emphasised the dim, instinctive notion she had had before of something between the pair. Yet what was there strange in Lady Clifford's taking a short stroll with her private physician? "More of my nonsense!" was Esther's mental comment as she put the matter determinedly out of mind.
And in those days every one of you who honestly loves England every one of us who honestly loves India will count in the scale ..." He paused; and she drew a deep breath. "Oh how you see things! It is you who are wonderful, Roy. I can think and feel the big things in my heart. But for doing them I am, after all, only a woman...." "An Indian woman," he emphasised, his eyes on hers.
