There would be an excellent opportunity for the activities of Village Improvement Societies in Cuba, if it were not for the fact that such tree-planting would involve pushing all the houses ten or fifteen feet back from the roadside. I have never studied the system of town building in the island, yet it is presumable that there was some such system.
The special magistrates further testified that wherever the planters have exercised common kindness and humanity, the apprentices have generally conducted peaceably. Whenever there are many complaints from one estate, it is presumable that the manager is a bad man. Real estate is much higher throughout the island than it has been for many years.
We find the United States in possession of certain iron mines and works in the county of Berkeley and State of Virginia, purchased, as is presumable, on the idea of establishing works for the fabrication of cannon and other military articles by the public.
The presumable son, a tall, hawk-nosed young man who sat beside the chauffeur, turned to speak to those inside, and King's glance followed his. He thus caught sight of a profile next the open window and close by him. He stared at it, his heart suddenly standing still. Who was this girl with the bronze-red hair, the perfect outline of nose and mouth and chin, the sea-shell colouring?
All rights under the law are functions in a democratic political organism and must be justified by their actual or presumable functional adequacy. The ideal of a constructive relation between American nationality and American democracy is in truth equivalent to a new Declaration of Independence.
"Then it isn't possible that you don't know what to make of him?" "Very possible, indeed presumable. Look here, you have been beating around the bush a long time. Exactly what do you want to know?" "Everything you care to tell me. Is he young or old, handsome or ugly, rich or poor?" "He is forty years old, very fastidious of his person, and he spends a lot of money."
John's eye: it reminded me of old days, it reminded me of his picture: it half led me to think that part, at least, of his professed persuasion of Miss Fanshawe's naivete was assumed; it led me dubiously to conjecture that perhaps, in spite of his passion for her beauty, his appreciation of her foibles might possibly be less mistaken, more clear-sighted, than from his general language was presumable.
That this collection of 'Domestic and Confidential Epistles' will be regarded as a valuable acquisition by a very great majority of the citizens of the United States, is presumable from the prevailing taste of all well-informed people.
"You've only got to shut your eyes and lie still; but we're going to make a little noise." There was in the room, as perhaps might be expected, a washing-stand. This article was of the description one often sees; above the level of the stand itself there rose a wooden screen to the height of two feet and a half, covered with pretty tiles, the presumable object being to protect the wall paper.
But deeper than this, beneath all the flutterings of her mind, there ran the increasing sense that, whatever the logic of it might be, responsibility was on her nevertheless: the supreme responsibility put upon free beings by the trust of a friend.... Hugo, it was presumable, would be detained with his Mr. Deming until the latter's departure, or near it.
