"It has scarcely altered since little Kirke White used to come," he said. But he was watching her throat below the ear, where the flush was fusing into the honey-white, and her mouth that pouted disconsolate. She stirred against him as she walked, and his body was like a taut string.

If their common persecution did not wholly succeed in fusing these two sections of religious opinion into one, it at any rate gained for the Presbyterians a general sympathy on the part of the Puritans, which raised them from a clerical clique into a popular party. But if Elizabeth's task became more difficult at home, the last years of her reign were years of splendour and triumph abroad.

No, no, 'twas the land had taken possession of us, as the New World ever does, fusing ancient hates and rearing a new race, of which I wot no prophet may dare too much! "He who twiddles his thumbs may gnaw his gums," M. Radisson was wont to say; and I assure you there was no twiddling of thumbs that morning.

Jane was not ugly; she developed, indeed, a kind of categorical prettiness that might have been a projection of her mind.

And her soul yearned for more mystery, for more divinity, with an inexpressible yearning.

Even the furnace in which he carries on that most serious operation of fusing fifty pounds of platinum at once is not much more than half the size of the drawing. It is made of a piece of lime below and a piece of lime above.

Their harmonies and disharmonies, their fusing and blending, is not controlled by any outer necessity, but by the inner agreement and disagreement of our free impulses.
