We find the guard doubled at all the stations where we change horses, and our passengers nervously examine their pistols and readjust the long glittering knives in their belts.
We all were stunned in a way, by this unexpected development, and had to readjust our theories. "Well," Miss Rhoda said, decidedly, "I shall consult Mr. Stone, anyway. I've written him, and though I've not mailed the letter yet, I shall send it off to-night. Then when he comes to talk it over we can see what he says and abide by his judgment."
She laughed again. "Put yourself at ease. I am neither Leddy Lightfinger nor a socialist. There are no dynamite bombs in this house. I despise any organization which aims to destroy society. Society is bad enough as it is; but think of trying to readjust it!" "I give up the puzzle." "That is better." It is difficult to seek and hold a pair of eyes partly hidden behind a mask.
"Well, he is to be your charge, so I hope you may find him more amusing than he looks," she answered. It was an early dinner, to be followed by a visit to a popular theatre. A few hours ago Trent was looking forward to his evening with the keenest pleasure now he was dazed he could not readjust his point of view to the new conditions.
Both were silent and motionless, except when Cynthy once in a while got up to readjust the sticks of wood on the fire. They sat there waiting so long that Fleda's anxiety began to quicken again.

A change of occupations and of interests came naturally with the change of the seasons, with the time to sow and reap, to plant saplings, to fell timber, to fence, to cut copsing, to build or rebuild, to receive rents or remit them, to listen to many appeals, to readjust differences, to feed game or to shoot it, to bestow charity of meat and fuel, to haul ice in winter to the ice-house from the lake.
The effect of the look was that of a visual effort to harmonize the man with the deed he had done, the stir he had created in the city and the diocese; to readjust impressions. A hint of humour crept into the bishop's blue eyes, which were watery, yet strong, with heavy creases in the corners.
He stood before the blazing fire of wood logs in the hall, touching it with his toe and trying to readjust himself. 'My father! he thought. A bitter disappointment, no disguising it!
