He had the Tasmanian's spirit and endurance, and a notable share of military science besides; and so he rose against the oppressor, did this gallant "fanatic," and started a war that was not brought to a definite end until more than a generation had sped. There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice. Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar.
The usual and marketable size of a bunch was from one to two pounds weight. The fruit was always perfect that was offered for sale. Science had provided the fruit growers of Mizora with permanent protections from all kinds of blight or decay. When I considered the wholesomeness of all kinds of food prepared for the inhabitants of this favored land.
We were dressed in woollens, our hands were in dogskin gloves and our heads and necks in thick calico hoods and capes, but all such protections were naught when those screaming villains had a mind for blood.
Notwithstanding large bounties, granted by the government to volunteers, it was found necessary to lay an embargo upon all shipping, and impress all the seamen that could be found, without any regard to former protections; so that all the merchant ships were stripped of their hands, and foreign commerce for some time wholly suspended.

"We see over their walls and over their protections; we look inadvertently into their upper windows; we look over their customs; their laws are no more than a net about our feet....
The life which has brought us that thought of a Shepherd-God has been long enough; and the days which have been so expanded as to contain a continuous series of His benefits and protections need never be remembered as 'few, whatsoever be the arithmetic that is applied to them. The other contradiction is equally eloquent and significant.
She therefore recognised the hour that in troubled glimpses she had long foreseen, the hour when the phrase for it came back to her from Mrs. Beale with two fathers, two mothers and two homes, six protections in all, she shouldn't know "wherever" to go.
