The egoist on the contrary is always asserting of himself what he ought in common decency to leave others to say of him, only they never do. Wentworth actually told me not so long ago that he was intent on the service of others. I told him it was for those others to mention that interesting fact, and that nobody had lied about him to that extent so far in my diocese."
At the moment she was too intent upon gaining time. The means to it mattered little. The more she talked to no purpose, the more at random was their discourse, the better would her ends be served. "Sir Rowland Blake?" she cried. "What is he to me?" "Ah, what? Let me set you the question rather."
"Oh, the same princess Pride rules them both," answered the angel, "this young man is only speaking fair on account of the errand he comes upon; he is seeking popularity at present, with the intent to raise himself thereby to the highest office in the kingdom it is easy for him to lament to the people how much they are wronged by the oppression of bad masters; but his own exaltment, and not the weal of the kingdom, is the heart of the matter."
Thomas, ad interim, differing in legal effect in the purposes for which and the intent with which, either or both of the acts were done, and the legal duties and rights infringed, and the acts of Congress violated in so doing.

Any fate but that; she would rob him even of the satisfaction of driving her to sheathe a poniard in her heart as that poor Andalusian girl had done.
To turn back, or to linger behind, would bring them nothing but more suffering, perhaps death itself. A man intent on dying may throw himself into the water to get drowned, and then find himself involuntarily struggling to escape from the death he has courted. The same irresistible antipathy to death compelled his white captives to follow the black sheik.
Churchill sat leaning a little forward, as if intent on Dyce's movements, but his elbow rested on the arm of the rocking chair, and holding his hand up to screen his face from the blaze of the fire, he was closely watching Bedney.
He found Gerald alone, seated at a table, intent on a letter he was writing. Daisy, it seemed, had persuaded Mrs. Dampier to go out for a walk before luncheon. "Well, my boy, we shall have to make the best of the short time remaining to us in Paris.
It occurred to me, however, that she had overlooked one little factor in her revenge, and so, without any intent to add to her discomfiture, but rather to permit her to rearrange her plans along more practical lines, I pointed to the nearest port-hole.
