It was his office joke, and something more, a kind of formula for squaring himself with his conscience, a phrase for warding off the devil as a beggar spits on the penny he accepts. Having exorcised the demon, he said, "Go on, tell me: what's her name and how much does she want for silence?" "How much do you want for silence?" Jim growled. "Shoot!"
It seemed to her father as if the malign influence which had pervaded her being had been driven forth or exorcised. "It's her mother's look!" said old Sophy. "It's her mother's own face right over again. She never look' so before the Lord's hand is on her! His will be done!" But Elsie's heart was beating more feebly every day.
"Of course I will come," she replied, smiling at him. But as she left the room she sighed; had she really exorcised those evil spirits? or would they return again, with tenfold force? "remorse;" that was the word he used, this was the canker-worm that was robbing him of peace. "It is not easy for me to forgive even if the offender is my own flesh and blood." How sad it was to hear him say that.
I apprehend they might have resented the presence of the Infidel had they not been soothed by the Maalem's little attention. He was ever a firm believer in djinoon, and exorcised them with unfailing regularity.

Is not that a joy, a prize, which wealth cannot give, nor poverty take away? What it may lead to, he knows not. Of what use it may become, he knows not. But this he knows, that somewhere it must lead; of some use it will be. For it is a truth; and having found a truth, he has exorcised one more of the ghosts which haunt humanity.
For the first time since Edgar Poe had opened his eyes upon the tasteful homelikeness of the widow Clemm's chamber and the tender, dark eyes of Virginia searching his face with soft wonder, the old restlessness and dissatisfaction with life and the whole scheme of things were upon him the blue devils which he believed had been exorcised forever had him in their clutches.
For in each of these dialogues more or less mention is made of divine names, from which it is easy for those who are exorcised in divine concerns to discover by a reasoning process the idioms of each. "It is necessary, however, to evince that each of the dogmas accords with Platonic principles and the mystic traditions of theologists.
The playwright who sets forth with the idea that, in writing a poetical drama, he is going to continue the great Elizabethan tradition, is starting on a wild-goose chase. The great Elizabethan tradition is an incubus to be exorcised. It was because Mr.
It seemed to her father as if the malign influence evil spirit it might almost be called which had pervaded her being, had at last been driven forth or exorcised, and that these tears were at once the sign and the pledge of her redeemed nature. But now she was to be soothed, and not excited. After her tears she slept again, and the look her face wore was peaceful as never before.
