But apprehension is short-lived in young hearts. The sun shone, the sky spread a speckless blue over desert and mountain, the day was for them together. They did not promise all of it to themselves at once they filched its sweetness bit by bit, moment by moment, and hour by hour, declaring to each other they must part, and dulling the pain of parting with the anodyne of procrastination.
I tell you our means of livelihood are being filched from us one by one. Authors ought to form themselves into a society for the support and encouragement of crime." MacShaughnassy's leading intention in making these remarks was to shock and grieve Brown, and in this object he succeeded.
The battle was over unless the beast considered me fair prey, too. I waited, ready for him with knife and bludgeon also filched from a dead foeman; but he paid no attention to me, falling to work instead to devour one of the corpses. The beast bad been handicapped but little by his splinted leg; but having eaten he lay down and commenced to gnaw at the bandage.
England could not stand by and see a little nation whom she had promised to protect, crushed: But above all, they were Englishmen. Love of country was a tremendous factor.

If that woman could not get the command, he was to know her incapable of submission. After besmutting the name she had filched from him, she let him understand that there was no intention to repent. Possibly she meant war. In which case a man must fly, or stand assailed by the most intolerable of vulgar farces; to be compared to a pelting of one on the stage.
Love and faithlessness, sincerity and deceit, nobility and dishonor, kindness and ingratitude, morality and vice all the virtues and their antitheses take their place at the bar of the court of justice and await the verdict, while truth and deception strive for conquest; an honest son of toil arrested in a den of infamy whither he has been decoyed and his week's earnings filched; his wife in tears before you; the clash of prejudice when the parties litigant were of opposite races; the favorable expectation of the rich, prominent, and influential when confronted by the poor and lowly; humble and conscientious innocence appalled when rigid law would mulct them in fine and imprisonment; the high and the haughty incensed at discharge of the obscure and indigent.
Why give reputation to John Smith?" Thus he drags on his life; and perhaps, when he dies, the fragments of his learned work may be discovered in the desk of the usher, and serve as hints to some crafty student, who may filch ideas and repute from the dead Leslie, as Leslie had filched them from the living Burley.
