"I know nothing of faith," Saxham said curtly; "I deal in common-sense." She could have asked if it were commonly sensible for a creature made by God, and existing but by His will, to live without Him? But she put the temptation past her. No cordial flame of mutual esteem and liking ever sprang up between these two, often brought together in their mutual work of help and healing.
When by some disturbance, as possibly by the passage of a great meteoric body of a considerable gravitative power, this ring was broken in two, the particles composing it on either side would, because of their mutual attraction, tend to draw away from the breach, widening that gap until the matter of the broken ring was aggregated into a sphere of the star dust or vapour.
"One of our national institutions is the `Hen's Mutual Fire Insurance Company, supported by the Government," added Clifford. Deschamps snorted. "That is why," put in Rhodes, lazily dabbing at his canvas, "why we seldom have omelets the eggs are so apt to be laid fried."

I seated myself near him, and a pause of mutual silence ensued. My mind was full of the purpose that brought me hither, but I knew not in what manner to communicate my purpose.

Although I have but a slight acquaintance with the Erkmanns, whose yard abuts upon ours, I hope, before the evening is over, to have a door cut in the fence between us, and a wire stretched from our rear windows to theirs. It will be for our mutual safety. If attacked we can escape through their house or they through ours.
Even the unquestioned ability which the theater possesses to bring men together into a common mood and to afford them a mutual topic of conversation, is better accomplished with the one national game which we already possess, and might be infinitely extended through the organization of other public games.
