My father remarked that it was not only the knowledge we should obtain by going to England which would prove of value, but the training and general education we should receive at an English school.
The king stood near the fireplace, surrounded by princes and generals. The president of the North German Confederation appointed to address him had once before, in 1849, offered the imperial crown to a Prussian king, who had declined it. Since then events had ripened. This time the king accepted what his countrymen desired he should receive from them.
They were not all the wives and daughters of the dons, who in Gladstone's view had no more right to such appendages than priests of the Roman Church; there were also the students at the Ladies' Colleges, who were allowed to compete for honours, though not to receive degrees.
When she had finished, the woman said, "You have not told me your name." "You may call me Amy. I have no other name." Again the woman spoke slowly: "You cannot find work. No one will receive you. But why should you care? You are beautiful." Amy looked at her in wonder, and the woman explained how she had many girls in her home, who with fine dresses and jewels, lived a life of ease and luxury.
"You call him Michael when you meet him?" "Yes by the orders of your father." "I see. And now by mine?" "If those are your orders." "Oh, decidedly! We must all be pleasant to our dear Michael." "You order me to receive his friends, too, I suppose?" "The Six?" "You call them that, too?" "To be in the fashion, I do. But I order you to receive no one unless you like." "Except yourself?"

You must take good care of it, and never give it away for love or money. Don't you open it there's a good boy, till you're a man like your father. He was a man!
Parts of the sensitive surface of the body which rarely undergo stimulation are sometimes acted on, and at other times they receive partially new modes of stimulation. In such cases it is plain that the process of classing the sensation or recognizing it is not completed. It is found that whenever this happens there is a tendency to exaggerate the intensity of the sensation.
Above us still rose the whole mountain of the great dome, and it made an impression on me of greater height and size than I had yet been able to receive. The copper ball at the summit looked hardly bigger than a man could lift; and yet, a little while afterwards, U , J , and I stood all together in that ball, which could have contained a dozen more along with us.
And we sincerely hope that some believed that the old divine paradox, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," is as true in the drawing- room as when the contribution-box goes round, and proposed to enjoy themselves by contributing to the enjoyment of others, and to see nothing that would tempt to heroic conduct at Tiffany's the next day.
It is said the most trying moment on shipboard is when the deck, previous to an engagement, is sprinkled with saw-dust to receive the blood yet unshed. No man can know whose blood will be first to moisten that dust, or whose life will be passed away before the action is over.
