"It's an awful lot of money an awful lot," he added in an awed tone of voice. The truth of the matter was that Uncle Ezra had nearly a million. But he was very "close," and never missed a chance to make more. "And do you intend to get the government prize in that that contraption?" he asked, motioning to the half-completed aeroplane. "Oh, it isn't finished yet," explained Dick.
"I should think if he wanted to put a hole in the boat he would have done it amidships, where the water would have a better chance to come in, or perhaps he wanted to flood it with gasoline and " The idea of fire was in Tom's mind, and he did not finish his half-completed thought.
I just feel like I can't go on living this way, Max." Tears hot and ever ready flowed over her words and she fumbled for her handkerchief, sobs rumbling up through her. "I just can't, I I just can't!" He pushed back from his half-completed meal, rising, but stooping to rap his fist sharply against the table.
I am sorry." But his thoughts, as Philip easily read them, were: "Fancy my letting this vulgar fool into the Tate Street workshop! Even HE would know that old masters are not found in a half-finished state on Chelsea-made frames and canvases. Fancy my letting him see those two half-completed Van Dycks, the new Hals, the half-dozen Corots.
How foolish, dear, to ask me! I'm never so happy as when I am with you." "Well, why then should you want to give up your home and all the comforts you need your flowers, garden, and everything you love, and this porch, which you have just made so charming, to go to a damp, half-completed hotel, without a shrub about it only a stretch of desolate sand with the tide going in and out?"
The tribal system survived in its full strength, and Ireland remained divided between two races, two languages, two civilizations in different stages of progress, two separate communities ruled by their own laws, and two half-completed ecclesiastical systems, for the Danish Church long looked, as the Irish had never done, to the Archbishop of Canterbury as their head.

"As safe as any place," replied Tom. "If Vidac has any idea we're building it, we could hide it any place and he'd find it. So, as the saying goes, the least hidden is the best hidden. We'll have to take a chance."
Descendants were called upon to embody the great conceptions of their forefathers. But the ancestral spirit too often failed in the land, the wing of aspiration was broken, the crane rotted in its place, the great conceptions were forgotten, or lived only as vague and dreamy inheritances; and the half-completed spires stood like Sphinxes, and none knew their riddles!

For, not many yards away, a handful of conchs and negroes were at work on a half-completed shed. Davy came to the store-room door, and opened it. Then. turning to Brice he said aloud in the wretched dialect of his class: "Funny avocado fruits all pile up in yon.
Even where these boats are used, partially protected by the half-completed breakwater, no common boat would answer the purpose, or would stand the strain.
