"You need a rest," she murmured, "and this money will help you, won't it, love?" "I have two hundred a year, clear, for the children and myself." "He might have halved it!" said Grannie, in a sudden, indignant cry. Marie replied with a look of steel: "I don't think so at all, mother. And men always think that women ought not to have the handling of too much money, you know."
Their bodies appeared to have doubled in length and halved in bulk. Their pudgy noses had become beaks. I was reminded of certain wild, low-bred pigs which I had seen splitting the hazel-brush of the West, the kind that Bill Nye once pictured as outrunning the fast mail. I said I feared our kitchen by-product was not rich enough for Hans and Gretel. Possibly that was true.
But in the opinion of all, Redford had celebrated Christmas in an unsurpassably proper manner. Two mornings later, a waggonette was packed with luggage and four passengers Mary Pennycuick, Guthrie Carey, the baby and the baby's little nurse. They proceeded in a body to the overseer's house, where the load was halved. "Have an easy mind," said Mary, outside the parlour door.
With only one I had time to see all his faults, and since my first love, a Russian officer, I would always have preferred to keep three knives dancing in the air. But as that was impossible, I generally halved my loaf." The mountains rang with his laughter. "Well. I haven't lived a saint, and I can't expect my wife to bring more than I." "You bring too much. You bring that Countess."
Terrible as were the sufferings through which the Armenians passed, they must have been infinitely more unbearable had it not been for these American missionaries; small as was the remnant that escaped into the safety of Persia or Russian Trans-Caucasia, their numbers must have been halved had it not been for the heroism of these men and women.
Moreover, between the sexes there is no camaraderie, no companionship of an intellectual sort between husband and wife, no free exchange of ideas except in circles made up of the members of one sex. In any public meeting the men habitually sit apart from their wives and from the women members of their families, even though the audiences be not bilaterally halved.
This seems an astonishing result, and some considerations lead to the suspicion that it may be too large, but if halved or quartered it is still very surprising. Few of us, however, know what a million really means: Mr.
The short seventh they halved in nine. The eighth, always a tricky hole, they took no liberties with, James, sinking a long putt with his twenty-third, just managing to halve. A ding-dong race up the hill for the ninth found James first at the pin, and they finished the first nine with James one up. As they left the green James looked a little furtively at his companion.
She would say: 'Thank the laws, there is one still alive! That is, I hope one of our generals is in the thicket, but still alive and kicking!" Indeed, Burnside resisted a night storming-party, and Longstreet was not "a lane that knew no turning," but turned and retreated! At the end of 1864, the Confederacy was scotched if not quite killed. Sherman had halved it by striking into Savannah.
The scent of the air, its sickly sweetness, had entirely passed as he breathed under the mask. He returned to his pack and fastened it up. Then he reslung it upon his shoulders.
