Christy opened the cabin door, and Midshipman Walters asked for the commander, and was admitted. "Mr.
But if the Doctor would take them, he would intrust them to the Doctor's care with the greatest satisfaction in the world, as he had done before. For a while the Doctor had hesitated; but here, perhaps for the first time in her life, his wife was allowed to persuade him. "They are such leading people," she said. "Who cares for that? I have never gone in for that." This, however, was hardly true.
When the central government which represents that majority has issued a decree, it must intrust the execution of its will to agents, over whom it frequently has no control, and whom it cannot perpetually direct.

The parties are necessarily not on an equal footing in making such a bargain.
While this conversation was carried on between the father and son, the Hebrew was whispering, in his sacred tongue, words of comfort and remonstrance to the maiden; but they appeared to have but little of the desired effect; and, suddenly falling on his breast, she wound her arms around the Hebrew, whose breast shook with strong emotions, and exclaimed passionately, in the same language, "Oh, my father! what have I done? why send me from thee? why intrust thy child to the stranger?
Do you think they're going to intrust their investments to a firm headed by a two-hundred-dollar-a-month man?" "But I AM a two-hundred-dollar-a-month man. In fact, I'm not sure I'm worth quite that much.
