A man always dines, let his sorrow be what it may. A woman contents herself with tea, and mitigates her sorrow, we must suppose, by an extra cup. John Gordon ordered a roast fowl, the safest dinner at an English country inn, and asked his way to the curate's house.
We do our brother, our sister, grievous wrong, every time that, in our selfish justice, we forget the excuse that mitigates the blame. That God never does, for it would be to disregard the truth. As He will never admit a false excuse, so will He never neglect a true one.
The climate is agreeable, as the heat is seldom very excessive; but as there are several marshes and swampy places in the vicinity, fevers and agues are common. In summer a canopy of clouds hangs over it, which mitigates the heat of the sun; but rain very seldom falls throughout the year. Earthquakes occur nearly every year, and some have caused most devastating effects.
It was after the coffee interval, which mitigates the sourness of the morning watch, when daylight had brought its chill, grey light to the wide, wet decks, that the mate came forward to superintend the "pull all round," which is the ritual sequel to washing down. "Lee fore-brace, dere!" his flat, voluminous voice ordered, heavy with the man's potent and dreaded personality.
As the prospect of a prize incites the young scholar to increased exertion as the prospect of worldly honors urges the ambitious man on in his career as the oasis cheers the weary traveller on his journey through the desert, and makes him forget hunger and thirst as the dreams of comfort and home warm the blood of a wayfarer amongst snow and ice as hope smooths the ruggedness of poverty and softens the calamities of adversity, so the prospect of meeting again mitigates the regrets of parting.
"In the plains of the Terre-Froide the heat is much more uncomfortable than in the Terre-Chaude itself, where an insensible perspiration always mitigates the oppressive rays of the sun. A few days' walking in this atmosphere will do more in bronzing our skins than all the rest of the journey." My companion suddenly stopped short, and pointed to the horizon with his finger.
The only answer that seemed to me to supply an intelligible motive was that the Alliance somewhat mitigates the intensity of Japanese anti-British propaganda in India. However that may be, there can be no doubt that the Japanese would like to pose before the Indians as their champions against white tyranny. Mr. Pooley quotes Dr.
The "vital" theme, then, let it be repeated, has two inestimable advantages which should commend it to all novelists: first, it spares us average-novel-readers any preliminary orientation, and thereby mitigates the mental exertion of reading; and secondly, it appeals to our prejudices, which we naturally prefer to exercise, and are accustomed to exercise, rather than our mental or idealistic faculties.
"He ought to be jailed! If I had him here I'd do it too. I'm mayor of this borough." "Oh, Mr. Breslin!" exclaimed Laurel. "He must not have been entirely bad. See how he saved the papers the proofs and how he kept for me my mother's jewels." "That's the sentimental mire that foreign criminals wallow in," he replied with irony. "I cannot see that it mitigates the crime." "And yet," interrupted Mr.
It sometimes intensifies it, sometimes mitigates it; but on the whole children and parents confront one another as two classes in which all the political power is on one side; and the results are not at all unlike what they would be if there were no immediate consanguinity between them, and one were white and the other black, or one enfranchised and the other disenfranchised, or one ranked as gentle and the other simple.
