Happily the recovery from each trouble is ready and sure; so that the child who had been abandoned to naughtiness with all his will in an entire consent to the gloomy possession of his anger, and who had later undergone a haggard repentance, has his captivity suddenly turned again, "like rivers in the south."
I am going to send a professional nurse." This solicitude for her was so like the Charley of other times that it made Phillida tremble with a grateful emotion she could not quite conceal. "A professional nurse will be better for Tommy. But I can not leave while Mrs. Martin has any great need for me."
I have always regretted this loss; his presence would have given a true consecration to the new institution. A career like his should not be judged by its little defects and lapses, and this I felt even more deeply on receiving, some time after his death, the fifth volume of his published works, which was largely made up of his despatches and other papers written during the war.
The crater on Mauna Loa is three miles in diameter and 600 feet deep. Over the crater hangs an illuminated vapor which may be seen at night over 200 miles distant. When Mauna Loa is in violent eruption a fountain of molten lava spouts every minute over 250 feet in the air, bursting into 10,000 brilliantly colored balls, like a monstrous Roman candle pyrotechnic.

What word is pronounced quicker by adding a syllable to it? Quick. Which animal travels with the most, and which with the least, luggage? The elephant the most because he is never without his trunk.
I don't know what stuff I am made of I never thought much about that subject but I'm quite certain of this, that I am made of such stuff as the like of you shall never tame, though you should do your worst."
"Are you the friar," said Prince John, in a terrible voice, "that laid me prostrate in battle, mowed down my men like grass, rescued my captive, and covered the retreat of my enemies? And, not content with this, have you now set fire to the castle in which I intended to take up my royal quarters?"
