There have been occasions in the children's room when a crowd of the older boys has come in, with evident intention of making a little disturbance. Miss Moore established the custom, in such cases, of asking each of these boys to sign his name and address to a slip or a separate sheet of paper and this had usually a sufficiently quieting effect to obviate the need of anything further.
But Lee could, if he chose, detach or move his whole army north on a line rather interior to the one I would have to take in following. A movement by his left our right would obviate this; but all that was done would have to be done with the supplies and ammunition we started with.
There will be no drumming of him out of the ranks, no tearing off of epaulettes, no smiting in the face. The thing must be just public enough to obviate secret tyrannies, and that is all. There would be no killing, no lethal chambers.

"Magnum bonum!" gasped Caroline, hearing nothing but the name. "Do you know- ?" "I know the recipe of course, and can give you an excellent one.
I need not say whether she was pleased or not at my refraining from complimenting her upon her fine proportions. When her toilette was finished I surveyed her from head to foot, and pronounced her to be a perfect man, with the exception of one blemish. "I am sorry for that." "Will you allow me to arrange your shirt so as to obviate it?"
If the treaty of Vienna was an imposture, most of our misfortunes are evidently produced by the weakness of the minister; but even supposing it real, as it was only a formidable mockery, an idle threat, that could never be executed, it was not necessary, that in order to obviate it, we should give ourselves implicitly into the hands of France.
They did this to obviate the blue what they termed "scraped pig" appearance of the faces of city men in the habit of using the razor daily, and to which they preferred the stubble of a seven-days' beard.

Lake Zumpango, with a surface ten miles square, is twenty-nine feet higher than the average level of the city of Mexico.
