His orders had anticipated this eventuality so that rather than force the passage of the barrage fire, merely for a rest, we should rest here where no rest was to be had. Undoubtedly, if we had been "going up" it would have been different. We should have gone on no fire would have stopped us.
The situation seemed worse in the actual telling Gloria than it had when he had first made the discovery himself. "You've got to make some money," she said suddenly. "I know it." "And you've got to make another attempt to see your grandfather." "I will." "When?" "When we get settled." This eventuality occurred a week later.
I wondered vaguely whether Frank had had that eventuality in mind when he blockaded the door with his own gloomy person. "Tchah!" ejaculated Mrs. Banks with supreme contempt. "Do not talk that nonsense to me, but listen, now, to what I have to say. I will make everything quite plain to you.
Either she was afraid of having a sister-in-law to look after during the husband's long absences; or dreaded the more or less distant eventuality of her brother being persuaded to leave the sea, the friendly refuge of his unhappy youth, and to settle on shore, bringing to her very door this undesirable, this embarrassing connection.
For some weeks the court prepared for even such an eventuality. "Ministers play high stakes," writes Mirabeau, on the 5th of July; "they are compromising the king, for in menacing Paris and the Assembly they are menacing France. All reaction is equal to action: the more the pressure now, the more terrible do I foresee will be the reaction.
For despite their show of confidence to one another, each secretly knew that if a determined rush was made from near at hand, there was scarcely an even chance of their standing it off.

Each one thinks he foresees some eventuality with the genesis of which he is especially conversant, and he forthwith communicates his forecast and at the same time his plan for coping with the danger to some official. And all suggestions are thankfully received and dealt with on their intrinsic merits.
There might be no occasion to protest; his Mary might see eye to eye with him in the matter. She might; but it was an eventuality he did not care to try against a test. His Mary was a girl and girls are in their conduct narrowed by scruples that do not beset men.
The attempt to cling to various intermediate positions on the inclined plane that slopes down from ancient revelation to private experience can succeed only for a time and where local influences limit speculative freedom. You must slide smilingly down to the bottom or, in horror at that eventuality, creep up again and reach out pathetically for a resting-place at the top.
Then after shewing her the different bottles, he took the supply out to Ninnis to be put in the buggy. Everything was ready now the buggy packed, the hood unslung so that it could be put up and down in protection against sun or rain this last alas! an improbable eventuality. Alexander and Roxalana were champing their bits.
