Is that clear?" The volubility with which this programme was enunciated so took away my breath that I scarcely realised its audacity. "You will not refuse; I am sure you will not," said the count, rising and hooking up his sword, as if about to depart. "Stop, stop!" I exclaimed. "You don't consider what you are asking. I can't elope with young women in this casual sort of way.

The greater number, however, of Greeks and Romans in the classical period believed that poetry exerted the most potent influence for good when it enunciated crisp moral maxims and afforded examples of heroic conduct which young people could be induced to follow. In all these respects the classical view of poetic has much in common with classical rhetoric.

Once she stopped stock still, and with astonishing rapidity and accuracy rattled off the whole list some fifteen or twenty words altogether pointing out each object as she enunciated the word. Alan understood then and he found out afterward it was the case that the girl's memory was extraordinarily retentive, far more retentive than is the case with any normal earth person.

Intolerable in its injustice and oppression, this privilege, which by the middle of the eighteenth century had become the attribute of the aristocracy, was completely overthrown, in France first of all, and a new doctrine of rights was enunciated and put in operation.
