Thereupon they drank to the Success of the Expedition, and afterwards everyone was called to speak in turn. 'Needless to say, all were entirely modest and brief; unexpectedly, all had exceedingly kind things to say of me in fact I was obliged to request the omissions of compliments at an early stage.
He grew uncomfortable, begged Elsmere to beware of any 'direct religious teaching, talked in warm praise of a 'policy of omissions, and in equally warm denunciation of 'anything like a policy of attack. In short, it became plain that two men so much alike, and yet so different, could not long co-operate. However, just as the fact was being brought home to Elsmere, a friendly chance intervened.
The purple of the hills grew deeper and softer, the lake a mere pulseless shimmer through the twilight haze. And then, last touch of magic, the moon swam up the same moon that had transfigured Five Creeks garden and Alice Urquhart last night. He poured out his soul to Deborah Pennycuick. First, it was only the story of the baby the story he had told Alice, with some omissions and additions.
She told of her own days down at school and of their appalling loneliness; of childhood spent in the forests; of the desire to live there always. But she did not speak intimately of herself or her life in its more vital aspects; she said nothing of the home in the Valley of Silent Men, nothing of father or mother, sisters or brothers. There was no embarrassment in her omissions.
We can make them all serve one purpose, and thus we shall be kept from going astray on the bypaths which we all too easily take if we regard matters separately, and not as forming parts of a collective whole.

"I know, I know," the Senator replied, impatiently; "but how did you get them?"
The Bleeding Lamb here cast me a knowing glance, which said as plainly as words that his unfortunate acquaintance was mad, but that it was as well to humour him, and so he magnanimously sat down on a stool facing his rival, while the latter proceeded to read out his book, which was destined soon to mount up the long list of Short's sins of typographical omissions.
It will not be necessary to send you to your father's judgment, I am convinced." "We see things very differently," cried Maria. "I am perfectly acquainted with the play, I assure you; and with a very few omissions, and so forth, which will be made, of course, I can see nothing objectionable in it; and I am not the only young woman you find who thinks it very fit for private representation."
If we add some courtly and patriotic effusions, a vast number of conceits more or less pretty, and a very few poems of a religious cast, the enumeration is tolerably complete. But, as Mr. Chamberlain has observed, there are curious omissions. War songs strange to say are almost wholly absent.
