Impeding, inconvenient accident at that, too often blocking the passage across or through, and constraining you to steer a foolishly, really quite inordinately divergent course. Under this obstructive head the two Americas offend direfully, sprawling their united strength wellnigh from pole to pole.
The necessary powers were obtained in 1815; the works proceeded vigorously under the Harbour Commissioners, who superseded the old obstructive corporation; and in 1825 the splendid new floating dock 750 feet long by 450 broad, having an entrance-lock 170 feet long and 40 feet wide was opened to the shipping of all countries.
I understand, however, that it is intended to remove some of the more obstructive of the larger trees; but the avenue of cypress trees, which perished from drought some years ago, has been replanted on lines which eventually will clash seriously with the architectural composition. This represents the condition of the garden twenty or thirty years ago.
Then, noting that the noise had not appalled them in the least and assuming that what was surely safe for them was safe enough for him, he sauntered down the line, attempting to seem careless in his walk, until he reached the gang which was busy at destruction of a high, obstructive cropping of grey granite. For hours he sat there watching them with curiosity.
He might have got her away unobserved had it not been for Dorrimore's coachman. The fellow uttered a yell and leaving his horses to take care of themselves leaped from the box. "A guinea to any one who stops that woman," he shouted. Lavinia and her companion had nearly reached the obstructive waggon. A dozen persons or so were between them and the yelling coachman.
He has moments especially if there be the stress of the sheer brutality of obstructive and knavish hostility when he seems to retire into himself to transfer himself on the wings of imagination to regions infinitely beyond the reach, as well as the ken, of the land in which the Lowthers, the Chamberlains, and the Bartleys dwell.
Civil war between the two peoples who composed the state and foreign war with the neighboring Germans worked havoc and distress. An obstructive parliament of great lords rendered effective administration impossible. The nobles possessed the property and controlled politics; in their hands the king gradually became a puppet.
Hakon Jarl and these pirates, robbing Hakon's subjects and merchants that frequented him, were naturally in quarrel; and frequent fightings had fallen out, not generally to the profit of the Jomsburgers, who at last determined on revenge, and the rooting out of this obstructive Hakon Jarl.
The opposition was obstructive, but not effectual. For this reason it was perhaps the more irritating to the Republicans, who were anxious to put Slavery where their great leader, Mr. Lincoln, had long before said it should be placed "in course of ultimate extinction." This very irritation, however, only served to press such Anti-Slavery Measures more rapidly forward.
"But what can come of it?" I said. "Why, marriage, I hope." "But Marion would as soon think of falling down and worshipping Baal and Ashtoreth as of forsaking her grandchildren." "Doubtless. But there would be no occasion for that. Where two things are both of God, it is not likely they will be found mutually obstructive."
