We recovered many square miles of the robbed territory of France 40 villages one day, 100 villages another; while the condition in which the Germans had left both the recovered territory and its inhabitants has steeled once more the determination of the nations at war with Germany to put an end to "this particular form of ill-doing on the part of an uncivilised race."
The crudest of them that the deity may be propitiated by gifts shows itself in the belief that ill-doing may be atoned for by the support of charitable and religious institutions by the building of churches and hospitals, by the maintenance of religious worship, and by aid to the poor.
In short, as he could attain his unholy end in no other way, Morris entered on a career of mild deception, designed to prevent his wife from suspecting him of she knew not what. His conduct was that of a man engaged in an intrigue. In his case, however, the possible end of his ill-doing was not the divorce-court, but an asylum, or so some observers would have anticipated.
Half a million! because of the ill-doing of a poor neurotic woman twenty years ago! It filled him with a curious resentment against Juliet Sparling herself, which left him still more out of sympathy with Diana's horror and grief. It must really be understood, when they married, that Mrs.

Miss Polly Dawson, a showy damsel with black hair and a cherry-coloured net at the back of it one of the family that Roy was pleased to term the ill-doing Dawsons, took the two skeins in her hand.

Reaching the city, Blake's machine, for which he had telephoned from Larchmont, was waiting; and in this they made the journey through the traffic-thronged New York streets, to the dock; a route that leads one from wealth to poverty, from respectability to license, from well doing to ill-doing, and through all that lies between.
"Here, father," he said. "And what are you doing here at this hour of the night, pray?" said the minister, angrily, turning toward him. "I couldn't get home very well," replied Hughie. "And why not, pray? Don't begin any excuses with me, sir." Nothing annoyed the minister as an attempt to excuse ill-doing.
They renounced shams or machine-made articles or middle-class Philistinism as the case might be. They went in for sincerity, or Turner, or "sweetness and light," with all the ardor of youthful neophytes. And it was good for them. But after a while they became, if not exactly weary in well-doing, at least a little weary of the unintermittent tirades against ill-doing.
The mate shook him off, and went in with a splash which half drowned his adviser. Miss Harris, clasping her hands, ran to the side and gazed fearfully at the spot where he had disappeared, while his sister in a terrible voice seized the opportunity to point out to her husband the probably fatal results of his ill-doing.
