While the special graces of the feminine character do not appear to have suffered, there has been produced a sort of independence and a capacity for self-help which are increasingly valuable as the number of unmarried women increases.
In spite of the simple instructions of the Vicar instructions intended to round off the modest natural life befitting a giant peasant, in the most complete and final manner he began to ask questions, to inquire into things, to think. As he grew from boyhood to adolescence it became increasingly evident that his mind had processes of its own out of the Vicar's control.
On the upper deck the dance had come to an end. "Time to turn in," thought Paul. He crossed to the steerage door and a moment later the moon was shining on an empty deck. As time went on, it became increasingly clear to Mary that Wally wasn't happy that the "one great thing in life" for him was turning out badly.
A hunger strike was undertaken, not only to reinforce the verbal demand for the rights of political prisoners, but also as a final protest against unjust imprisonment and increasingly long sentences. This brought the Administration face to face with a more acute embarrassment.

He watched the girl's face, ruddy in the firelight, and it was increasingly hard to remember that she was of the enemy camp, the daughter of his arch foe. To-night she was just a comrade, a habitat of his own cave. For the first time since he had found Ezram's body so huddled and impotent in the dead leaves he remembered the solace of tobacco.
Being in no great hurry to enter Cincinnati till the cholera had left, we consented. We spent the remainder of the week there, and I preached five times and father four. The interest was increasingly deep and solemn each day, and when we left there were forty-five cases of conversion in the town, besides those from the surrounding towns.
As the century wore on, women's dress became increasingly elaborate also. The skirts were looped high at the sides over trailing petticoats, the fronts of which were covered with fancy aprons of silk, linen or lace. The bodice was usually laced across the front with ribbons. Red-heeled shoes added a note of interest to milady's outfit.
