These contiguous sensations, which occasionally exemplify the logical contrasts in ideas and give them incidental existence, were either ignored altogether and dismissed as unmeaning, or admitted merely as illusions. The eye was to be trained to pass from that parti-coloured chaos to the firm lines and permanent divisions that were supposed to sustain it and frame it in.
Ives had entirely ignored Johnson, as well as Johnson's skill in navigating this river, and also his powerful steamboats. The appropriation under which Ives was working was one which had originally been made for Johnson, after a visit of his to Washington, but from several causes it had been switched over to the War Department.
Hence comparatively speaking Zwingli was ignored by the authorities. Half Switzerland might and did revolt from the Pope, without greatly exercising the Papal mind.

Experienced as he was, he had never come across a fact so incredible as this fact. And the compulsion of believing it occupied his forces to such an extent that he had no force left to be wise.

A letter from Dad and another from Muriel; both for you!" Nick stretched out his hand to her. "Come over here, kiddie! We'll read them together." She sprang to him, knelt beside him, and warmly hugged him. Max remained propped against the mantelpiece, looking on, ignored by both. "Muriel's first!" commanded Nick; and, with hands that shook, Olga slit open the envelope.
Then Field's hand came quietly forth and grasped the other man's shoulder, turning him about. "I should like a word with you," he said. They descended the stairs together, Burleigh Wentworth leading the way. Down in the vestibule they faced each other again.
