And then they say, 'One, two, three, again and there's neither a chicken nor an egg. That's the way all this real-estate racket will end. Mark my word, Levinsky." Bender nagged and pleaded with me without let-up. If I had had the remotest doubt of his devotion to me it would have been dispelled now.
He was a skilled Indian-fighter; he knew King Philip's haunts, and all the Indian ways. There was no let-up by Captain Church. Some captives he turned into scouts, so that they helped him against their former chief; the more dangerous he shot or hanged. To the English notion, these hostile Indians were rebels against the government and deserved no mercy.
"But how can you stand it to have it ache always?" gasped Pollyanna. "Why, I have to," answered the boy, opening his eyes a little wider. "Things that are so are SO, and they can't be any other way. So what's the use thinking how they might be? Besides, the harder it aches one day, the nicer 'tis to have it let-up the next." "I know!
She was more strenuous than father. How many hours she sat up mending and patching our clothes, while we were sleeping! Rainy days meant no let-up in her work, as they did in Father's. The first suit of clothes I remember having, she cut and made. Then the quilts and coverlids she pieced and quilted!
We must carry out the work we have so carefully planned to cap the campaign, and if we are diverted by this it means a let-up in our final efforts, and that is as good as McLoughlin wants anyhow.

Kolomea was captured by Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian troops. In the northeastern portion of the wooded Carpathians Austrian troops were following on the heels of the Russians who retreated in the direction of the Pruth. Without let-up the Germans and Austrians continued to press back the disorganized Russian armies.
I was giving lessons in English and studying at the University; of the little money I earned I had to send some to my mother and the rest went toward my upkeep and my tuition fees. This Carnival day, a Tuesday, I remember, I had no more than three pesetas to my name; I had been working so hard and so steadily, without a moment's let-up, that I said to myself: 'Yes, sir.
The rain came in showers that day, but it happened, luckily, that there was a let-up while the people formed into line menfolk first, then womenfolk to follow the two old peasants to their grave. Those who lined up looked a little surprised at their being there, for they did not feel any grief, nor did they care especially to honour either of the dead.
It rained during most of the day after our arrival at Utiarity. Whenever there was any let-up the men promptly came forth from their houses and played head-ball with the utmost vigor; and we would listen to their shrill undulating cries of applause and triumph until we also grew interested and strolled over to look on.
I know him, and I know there is plenty of good in him to appeal to. But candidly, Mr. Bertrand, I didn't have the heart to well, to let him know that I knew." A bitter thought swept across me like a hot wind from the desert. Was there never to be any let-up? Were people always going to take it for granted that I was the criminal?
