But as, even with us, these so-called ordinances of nature in time of war consent to be suspended, and duty to his country becomes with every good citizen a higher motive of action than the advantages which he may gain in an enemy's market; so it is not uncheering to look back upon a time when the nation was in a normal condition of militancy against social injustice when the Government was enabled, by happy circumstances, to pursue into detail a single and serious aim at the well-being well-being in its widest sense of all members of the commonwealth.
She was Mark Winnington's intimate friend and a constitutional Suffragist. At the notion of consulting her, on the means of providing funds for "militancy" Delia sprang out of bed, and went to her dressing, dissolved in laughter. And presently sobered again, and soft-eyed she was stealing along the passage to Weston's door for a word with the trained nurse who was now in charge.
It filled the highway and overflowed into the fields, without military form: women and men of every age except the fighting age, marching together in a sinister militancy of purpose. "Bring the children, too!" cried the leaders. "They've more right to be heard than any of us." From such a nucleus it seemed that the whole population of the land might be set in motion by a common passion.
Of course that's a bit better than militancy, less upsetting; but women are so incomprehensible when they're in what they are pleased to call love that it's rather difficult to know what they're driving at." "Oh, all right!" Owen's flippancy disturbed Barry, and he spoke shortly, whereupon Owen smiled meaningly, and Barry went out of the room rather hurriedly.

There was a note of enthusiasm, almost of militancy in the old gentleman's tone that surprised and agitated Hodder. He took a turn up and down the room before he answered.
At length, Jack passed over to the other side of the mantel and turned on the reflector over the portrait of his mother; and, in turn, standing silently before her all his militancy was gone and in its place came the dreamy softness with which he would watch the Eternal Painter cloud-rolling on the horizon.
There are other natures, such as Sheila's, who do not mind in the least exercising authority themselves, but who oppose it vigorously when they feel it coming near themselves or some others. Of such is the kingdom of militancy. Her experience with the police had sunk deep into her soul.
Clarkson went on, meditatively; "perhaps it comes simply from the dramatic element of battle. It is a war in brief, a concentrated militancy. Or perhaps it is the more barbaric delight in vicarious pain and endurance; and I think sometimes we ought to include the pleasure of our race in fair play and the just and equal rigour of the game." What other reasons Mr.
He fairly rocked the chair as he jerked his hand free of its support, while he shook with a palsy which was not that of fear, for there was raging color in his cheeks. The physical power of his great figure was revealed. For the first time Jack was able to think of him as capable of towering militancy. His anger gradually yielded to the pressure of will and the situation.
But this new shrinking from the most characteristic feature of the violent policy this new softness and fluidity in a personality that when they first reached Maumsey had begun already to stiffen in the fierce mould of militancy to what could any observer with eyes in their head attribute them but the influence of Mark Winnington the daily unseen presence of other judgments and other ideals embodied in a man to whom the girl's feelings had capitulated?
