For the next hundred and eighty seconds there was no sound but the steady swish of the bow wave and the beat of the powerful engines. Ken shut his watch with a snap. 'All right. We're past. The words were not out of his mouth before there came a ringing report, and a shell, screaming through the air, smacked into the water about a length astern.
There are many interests that can never be inhibited by the way of negation. To a man in love, for example, it is literally impossible, by any effort of will, to annul his passion. But let 'some new planet swim into his ken, and the former idol will immediately cease to engross his mind. It is clear that in general we ought, whenever we can, to employ the method of inhibition by substitution.
Large rivers gave evidence of a defined system of drainage, the crests of snow-topped mountain ranges in the distance were proof of whence these rivers sprang. The native tribes were of higher intelligence, had a partial knowledge of what lay beyond their immediate ken, and could show articles of barter and commerce that they had obtained from more inland residents.
Those scant shades claimed us but briefly and superficially, and it comes back to me that oddly enough, in the light of autumn afternoons, our associates, the most animated or at any rate the best "put in" little figures of our landscape, were not our comparatively obscure schoolmates, who seem mostly to have swum out of our ken between any day and its morrow.
Rilla stood there for a little while, gazing across the fields of mist and silver. She had heard her mother say that she loved turns in roads they were so provocative and alluring. Rilla thought she hated them. She had seen Jem and Jerry vanish from her around a bend in the road then Walter and now Ken.

Gee whiz, think of getting a letter really from him! I wish I was Ken!" "It's nothing! Anyone can be President I mean, any man!" "Just the same, mother told me that some day we would be very proud of knowing Keineth's father. She wouldn't tell me any more. I'll bet it would be awful interesting to know him! There's something certainly queer about how no one knows where he is!
There is much controversy to-day on the subject of vivisection; but that did not prevent you quite recently from bestowing a high mark of favor on its foremost exponent. What you dare not do is bestow a similar mark on one who is opposed to it. Your favors go only to those who represent a majority; minorities are carefully shut away from your ken.
He removed the letter silently from Felicia's door, he was reassured by seeing its white square before he reached it, and crept to his own room. There a shadowy figure was curled up on the floor, and it was crying. "Kirk! What's up?" Ken lifted him and held him rather close.

The difference that he saw between the sisters was sufficiently accounted for to him by the ten year's difference in their ages. He never could be persuaded, that, in any undesirable sense, Rose was more like the modern young lady than her sister. Graeme was perfect, in his wife's eyes, and Rose was not quite perfect.
And Ken, he says your name's good Anglo-Saxon and means 'a defender of his kindred." "It does, does it?" said Ken. "You'll get so magicked over there some time that we'll never see you again; or else you'll come back cast into a spell, and there'll be no peace living with you." "No, I won't," Kirk said. "And I like it. It makes things more interesting."
