Yesterday, again, in an assembly of the presidents of all the sections, convoked by the ministers, with the view of conciliating all minds, and of mutual explanation, I perceived that distrust which suspects, interrogates, and fetters operations." It does not appear that the putting a stop to the massacre had any part in the object of their meeting, or in their consultations when they were met.

Geniuses in the impenetrable depths of abstraction and pure speculation, situated, so to speak, above all dogmas, propose their ideas to God. Their prayer audaciously offers discussion. Their adoration interrogates. This is direct religion, which is full of anxiety and responsibility for him who attempts its steep cliffs. Human meditation has no limits.

Certainly Carrière does not sacrifice style, expression, composition for splashing hues. Yet his illuminating strokes appear to proceed from within, not from without. He interrogates nature, but her answer is a sober, not a brilliant one. Let us rather say that his colouring is adequate he always asserted that a sense of proportion was success in art.

She must have friends here, but I cannot find them, for she was sent to us by others to give this child a home." "This must be looked into," murmurs the priest. He interrogates the soldier and also Armand when he returns from the lines, as the siege drags slowly on. They know nothing save the fact of the child's being friendless. It may be right; it may be wrong. "Voila tout."

"Carramba!" he explains, as if some new idea had entered his head, "I couldn't have believed in a man suffering so much from such a trifling cause." "What are you referring to?" interrogates the doctor. "The thing you're thinking of at this moment, amigo mio. I'll make a wager it's the same." "As you know, colonel, I never bet." "Nor I upon a certainty, as in this case it would be.

"What do you make of its being found here?" interrogates Cypriano, more interested about the ball in a sense different from the curiosity felt by his cousin. "Much," answers Caspar, looking grave, but without offering explanation; for he seems busied with some calculation, or conjecture.

Valois quickly interrogates the two; after a hasty pistol duel, in which the flowing serape misled the two practised shots, the fugitive plunged down a steep slope, with all the recklessness of a Californian vaquero. It was Joaquin! When the pursuers reached the trail, it was marked by the abandoned blanket. A heavy saddle also lay there, cut loose.

"We ain't out o' the wood yit," he says, employing a familiar backwoods expression often heard by him in boyhood, adding, in like figurative phrase, "we still hev to run the gauntlit o' the Tekeneekas." "But surely we've nothing to fear from them?" interrogates the younger Gancy; Henry Chester affirming, "No, surely not." "Why hevn't we?" demands Seagriff.

Undismayed by failure, he reasoned that probably effects were present, but that they were too small to be observed owing to the feeble inducing current employed. He therefore increased the strength of the current in the active wire; but still with no results. Again and again he interrogates nature, but unsuccessfully.

In the calm of the twilight the little truffle-hunter goes abroad, chirping softly to encourage itself. It explores the soil, and interrogates it as to its contents, exactly as does the truffle-gatherer's dog. The sense of smell warns it that the desired object is beneath it, covered by a few inches of sand.
