Her heart, by the way, instantly went out to Timothy. Jed was another proposition. He had thick, overhanging eyebrows, and a mouth that loved to make trouble and laugh over it.

See here, Burke; it is Duroc who writes: " My dear Duchesne, I knew there was no use in making such a proposition, and told you as much. The moment I said the word 'England, he shouted out 'No! in such a tone you might have heard it at the Luxembourg. You will perceive, then, the thing is impracticable; and perhaps, after all, for your own sake, it is better it should be so. Yours ever, D.
Oh! how we loved to rush headlong through the giant waves which came bounding in from seaward. How much better was this than learning a proposition of Euclid! The boy who swam furthest out to sea was looked upon as the hero of the hour, indeed through the whole week, until Saturday came again, when some other boy would endeavour to swim beyond the limit of the previous week.

"Not safe," said Arthur; "we'd better burn them." "Burn them!" said Dig, astounded by the audacious proposition. "Then we give up all our evidence." "Good job too; all the better for Marky.
I admit the 'honesty' of my good friend, in the above quoted proposition; but I can hardly be willing, purely on this account, to 'consent' to its truth. "As it respects an inheritance given in a WILL, &c. I have some doubts whether reason always carries things as far as you would wish to carry this metaphor to make it a parallel.
I laughed also; but now I seriously repeat my proposition, because I am convinced that although at first sight it may appear extremely humourous, on a closer inspection it will be found exceedingly practical. In union is strength." Donna Tullia was silent for a moment, and her face grew grave. There was reason in what he said.
