A brief account of preceding conditions, and of the dispositions maintained to meet them, is therefore necessary to due appreciation of the victory of Quiberon Bay. Although the diversions of 1758 had not very materially aided Frederic of Prussia, they had inflicted distinct humiliation and harassment upon France.
Go thou and enquire after them. And to all of them thou must say, O Sanjaya, these words. "Are ye well, having spent that harassing period of sojourn, ye who were unworthy of such harassment?" In no case, O Sanjaya, have I ever met with any untruthfulness on the part of the Pandavas.
The journalist became silent; he smiled, but the harassment of conflict marked his features. 'I hear nothing about "The New Sophistry", he remarked, when Godwin had begun to examine some books that lay on the table. 'Dolby has the trick of keeping manuscripts a long time. Everything that seems at the first glance tolerable, he sends to the printer, then muses over it at his leisure.
So hard a thing to catch and to retain, the mood corresponding perfectly to an intellectual bias hard, at all events, for him who cannot shape his life as he will, and whom circumstance ever menaces with dreary harassment.

Neither of them can claim the primacy; neither of them can arouse an enthusiasm which comes near to being universal. Eight grown Americans out of ten dread the coming of the Fourth, with its pandemonium and its perils, and they rejoice when it is gone if still alive. The approach of Christmas brings harassment and dread to many excellent people.
Joseph Smith paced Susannah's room; his harassment and distress on behalf of his people were either deeply felt or well feigned, and Susannah had no doubt that his feeling was true, that phase of him being for the time uppermost.
Russell Square was the boundary of her prison: she might walk thither occasionally, but was always back to sleep in her cell at night; to perform cheerless duties; to watch by thankless sick-beds; to suffer the harassment and tyranny of querulous disappointed old age.
