What a strange and ugly predicament it would be for a person of quiet habits to be suddenly smitten with lunacy at noonday in a crowded street, and to walk along through a dim maze of extravagances, partly conscious of then, but unable to resist the impulse to give way to them!

The succeeding year, which witnessed the importation of negroes, beheld the cultivation of tobacco, which before the introduction of cotton, was the great staple of southern produce. In 1622, the long-suppressed enmity of the Indians broke out in a savage attempt to murder the whole colony.
Her beauty, as great as ever, was poetically touched by the gentle shadow of concealed melancholy.

She eyed him admiringly from head to foot. "You've such an air, Fred," said she. "You should hear the butler on the subject of you.
These sounds were not uttered by men afraid of death, for they showed the most stoical indifference, but were the long-suppressed utterances of dying souls, who, in the bitterness of their hearts, cursed those who had been instrumental in condemning them to this shameful end.
For Samnium and Latium this war was as much a national struggle as the wars of the fifth century; they strove not for a greater or less amount of political rights, but for the purpose of appeasing long-suppressed hate by the annihilation of their antagonist.
But gradually, unconsciously, the long-suppressed recollections of the girl who had charmed his youthful fancies took possession of him. Hitherto, whenever he had remembered her, it was with bitterness and anger; but now his mind was as free from anger as though the cause for it had never existed.
