Entirely surrounding us is a great salt marsh, which protects us from invasion by land, while the rugged and ofttimes vertical topography of our mountain renders the landing of hostile airships a precarious undertaking." "That, and your brave warriors?" suggested the girl. Gahan smiled. "We do not speak of that except to enemies," he said, "and then with tongues of steel rather than of flesh."
And ofttimes Merlin would have had her privily away by his subtle crafts; then she made him to swear that he should never do none enchantment upon her if he would have his will.
Then to make himself all the more awful, he strikes an attitude and proceeds in his most tragic vein: "Declare with speed what spot you claim by birth. Or with this club fall stricken to the earth!

Some people have not yet learned that a fifty-dollar hat can never cover the deficiency of a two-cent head. Ofttimes money only makes a mean life more conspicuous. True, some of these people dress more becomingly than they suspect for their slim, pointed-toed English shoes admirably match their few ideas.

In the secret closet we often seem to be very near to him, and how our souls would love to remain there, but ofttimes, like the man out of whom the devils were cast, we are not permitted to remain with the Lord; he sends us away.
"John Peel" was having a frantic chorus as Helen and her aunt ascended the step-ladder. "For the sound of his horn brought me from my bed, And the cry of his hounds which he ofttimes led, Peel's 'View Hulloo! would awaken the dead, Or the fox from his lair in the morning." "Very nice, indeed," said Aunt Maria, as she burst open the garret door.
