Towards the end of the same tour, the enemy made another very similar attempt against our extreme right pasts held by "A" Company. L/Cpl. Beale and Pte. Foster were with their gun on the parapet, when they were suddenly rushed by three or four of the enemy who had crept close up to them, and were on top of them before they could open fire. L/Cpl.
Of course, you may, but it is entirely dependent upon outside things." He was too tired to answer, even to think. Besides, that was exactly his view of the situation. "You see," she went on, "here we are, two distinct groups of living cells, each loving life and wanting it. Our pasts have been very different, our futures would have been; but here we are.
"We mayn't know much about each other's tastes, but we do know about each other's souls, which is more than can be said of most men and women acquainted for half a lifetime. As for our pasts, you haven't had one, and I well, if I swear to you that I've never murdered anybody, or been in prison, or committed an unforgivable crime, will you take my word?"
These latter feared her 'scenes' as she rejoiced in them, and as she knew the pasts of her friends from their cradle upwards, she usually contrived, by a pitiless use of her famous memory, to put to rout anyone so ill-advised as to attempt a stand against her domineering authority.
Most of them had just started on some course of professional training to which they won't have the energy to go back after a two years' interruption.

When the hotel is a large and expensive affair in gayest Cairo, where the sunny and shady side rub elbows, and gamesters and débutantes and touts and school teachers and vivid ladies of conspicuous pasts and stout gentlemen of exhilarated presents abound, in fact where innocent sightseers and initiated traffickers in human frailties are often indistinguishable, then decidedly it does not.
They are too well used to unsavory pasts to bother much about that kind of odor; and where in the civilized world or in that which is not civilized is there an odor from reputation or character whose edge is not taken off by the strong, sweet, hypnotic perfume of money? Also, Palmer's appearance gave the lie direct to any scandal about him.
She felt as Eve must have felt sneaking out of Eden and hearing the nightingales wrangling and the leopards at play. We must fly fast and keep on flying if we would escape from our pasts. Ambition, adventure, or sheer luck may carry us forward out of them as in a cavalry-foray over strange frontiers, but sooner or later we must wait for our wagons or fall back to them.
There was a feeling in the crowd that the joke was on Tillotson. "I wonder how many of you have told your pasts to Tinkersfield! How many of you have made Tillotson your father confessor? "As for me" her head was high "I sell sandwiches. I am very busy. I hardly have time to think. But when I do think it is of something besides village gossip."
