"We will now carry out Captain Murray's directions, and visit the island." The boats were accordingly steered for the shore. It required a careful look-out to keep in the right channel, so that the rocks, which appeared in all directions under water, might be avoided.
According to General Murray's friends what happened in Palestine was what has happened so often in our history. A general is given a job to do with insufficient forces, and urged on despite his appeals for a sufficient force. He fails. Another commander is appointed, and the new man naturally can exact his own conditions, begins the task with an adequate force, and succeeds.
"Gilbert Murray's translation of 'The Bacchae. My legal mentors had a lapse of dry-as-dustness and sent it to me." "'To stand from fear set free, to breathe and wait," murmured the girl. "That is what I've been doing here. How good it is! But not for you," she added, her tone changing from dreamy to practical. "Ban, I suspect there's too much poetry in your cosmos." "Very probably.

That boy's going to get done up, and Pap's to be all in at the doing. Oh, he'll take no chances. There'll be no shriek. That kid'll peter right out sudden. And it'll be Pap who knows how." "Murray's in the city. Have you seen him?" Kars spoke coldly. "I saw him yesterday noon. I went to Adler's at lunch time to be sure getting him." "What did he say?" "I scared him. Plumb scared him.
The contrast between these persons ... and the class I was at the same time in the habit of meeting at Sir Joseph Banks's on Sunday evening, at Gifford's, at Murray's Literary Exchange, and especially at Lord Holland's, was striking enough."

He realized that he knew more about the Compton murder case than any one else.
They had not quite come in sight of the slave schooner when a shout reached their ears. It was repeated. It sounded like a cry for help. "It is Murray's voice, sir," exclaimed Adair; "he is shouting to us; he is attacked, depend on it." So Mr Hemming thought. The boat was got round, the men sprang into their seats, and, getting out their oars, dashed away down the stream.
We had one more day among the mines, and then went back to Pachuca, and next day to Mexico in the Diligence. Everywhere the same hospitality and good-natured interest in us and our doings, often shown by people with whom we had hardly the slightest acquaintance.
