At the same time, what he knew of the Blind Spot was part conjecture and part fact. Like his forebears and contemporaries, he looked upon man as the real being. "But it's a question, now, as to which is reality and which is not. There is not a branch of philosophy that looks upon the question in that light.
'Fergus Mac-Ivor Vich lan Vohr, said the ambassador, in good English, 'greets you well, Baron of Bradwardine and Tully-Veolan, and is sorry there has been a thick cloud interposed between you and him, which has kept you from seeing and considering the friendship and alliances that have been between your houses and forebears of old; and he prays you that the cloud may pass away, and that things may be as they have been heretofore between the clan Ivor and the house of Bradwardine, when there was an egg between them for a flint and a knife for a sword.
'Is it a mouse's tail? cried Simon in derision. 'Come, sir, try again, said Hob. 'Strike as you did when the black bull came down. Why cannot you do the like now, when you are tingling from Bunce's stroke? 'Ah! then I thought the bull would fall on Piers, said Hal. 'Come on, think so now, sir.

Forgetting the austere simplicity of their forebears, a love of show and ostentation had become the ruling passion of the American people. Money, MONEY, MONEY! was to-day the only standard, the only god!
Well for her and for Betty that Ida Bellethorne had a good pedigree; had come of a long line of forebears that had been taught to jump hedges, fences, water-holes and bogs.

Pundita's narrative was rather long but not uninteresting. She had learned English from the old white priest who had died during the last plague. She was of high caste; and far back in the days of the Great Mogul in Delhi her forebears had ruled here; but strife and rebellion had driven them forth.
And I have heard curses launched at the unstable element itself, whose fascination, outlasting the accumulated experience of ages, had captured him as it had captured the generations of his forebears. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness, and playing the part of dangerous abettor of world- wide ambitions.
"The moment for that has gone by." "Very well." Karloff's shoulders settled; his jaws became aggressively angular; some spirit of his predatory forebears touched his face here and there, hardening it. "I wish to speak in regard to your daughter." "Enough! Take my honor and be gone!" The colonel's voice was loud and rasping.
It is more difficult than writing a fugue. The truth is I have gotten myself into a bit of a fix and I want to guard against its turning into something worse than that. I need some man's assistance to extricate myself." I probably looked alarmed. Those forebears of mine will intrude when I am taken by surprise.
