Howard's simply swamped with work he's conducting some sort of investigation with night meetings and that sort of thing and we'd all appreciate it if you could run up there for us." The many preoccupations of his brother-in-law, who held a seat in Congress and took his job seriously, were well known to Archie.
At last she broke the silence. "And then?" she said. He roused from his preoccupations and brushed back the wing of hair from his brow.
It seems as though they dwelt in a planet much further from the sun than ours. This young girl was to Marius a sort of messenger from the realm of sad shadows. She revealed to him a hideous side of the night. Marius almost reproached himself for the preoccupations of revery and passion which had prevented his bestowing a glance on his neighbors up to that day.
This vision of distress, the Extension wishes to place before every Catholic in Canada; this call for help, it wishes him to hear. But particularly the future of the Church in these Provinces forms the subject of the Extension's preoccupations. We all realize the vast possibilities of our Western Provinces, and the important part they must of necessity play in the future affairs of our Dominion.

Its simplicity suited her gestures and took grace from them. But she wore the old thing without the least interest in it almost unconsciously. She had none of the preoccupations caused by the paraphernalia of existence. She scarcely knew what it was to own.
The thoughts which Cosette cherished, her tender preoccupations, Marius' image which filled her heart, took away nothing from the incomparable purity of her beautiful, chaste, and smiling brow. She was at the age when the virgin bears her love as the angel his lily. So Jean Valjean was at ease.
She conversed rapidly, pleased to be talking, pleased at his sympathetic responsiveness, ignoring the audience, and also forgetting the uneasy preoccupations of her recent solitude. The men returned from the Tiger and elsewhere, all except Uncle Meshach. The lights were lowered. The conductor's stick curtly demanded silence and attention. She sank back in her seat.
In the old days they were able to command the services on the Indian committees, of ex-Ministers, of members of this House and members of another place, who had had much experience of Indian administration, and I am doubtful, considering the preoccupations of public men, whether we should now be able to call a large body of experienced administrators, with the necessary balance between the two Houses, to sit on one of these committees.
