It was of the time when she should exercise the skill which she had now acquired upon that destroyer of herself, whom she now felt herself destined to destroy. Of course we are describing a madness one of those peculiar forms of the disease which seems to have its origin in natural and justifiable suggestions of reason. Not the less a madness for all that.
But, very characteristically, the keenest impression made upon her mind concerned less the urgency of the peril than its origin, the fact that it was incurred through and for her. On this she insisted much more than seemed just or reasonable. It was for her sake, no doubt, that I had made the Regent of Elcavoo my bitter, irreconcilable foe.
In any case there is food for reflection in the fact that the possibility of such an origin once admitted, the most apparently incongruous, and inharmonious, elements of the story show themselves capable of a natural and unforced explanation.

Under the growing fascination of the handsome, noble-minded doctor, she was fast losing what little shadow of faith she had possessed.
In this chapter I will give all the facts which I have collected, relating to the distribution of coral-reefs, to the conditions favourable to their increase, to the rate of their growth, and to the depth at which they are formed. These subjects have an important bearing on the theory of the origin of the different classes of coral-reefs.
And tell me, what was the origin of the war which has just ended?" The young farmer's anger had passed away as quickly as it came. Letting his bulky frame sink back into the reclining position from which he had partially risen, he replied "Just the old story self-will and stupidity.
Wilson, in an address, dealt in a thoroughly objective way with the question of guilt for the origin of the war, which was later to be the determining factor in his attitude towards us. The way was now cleared for the opening of the peace movement.
