I was not yet acquainted with the axiom that "as long as the fighting lasts, victory remains uncertain."
Still, it should not be forgotten that, when this passion is extinguished, the true kernel of life is gone, and nothing remains but the hollow shell; or, from another point of view, life then becomes like a comedy, which, begun by real actors, is continued and brought to an end by automata dressed in their clothes.
That went also, and now of the whole sum there remains but enough to pay the balance of your school bills, leaving you penniless. How much I regret this I cannot tell you. I shall leave New York at once. I do not care at present to say where I shall go, but I shall try to make good the loss, and eventually restore to you your lost fortune.

As they sat over the remains of their dinner, a deux, by the Duke's request, she seemed to her husband quite incredibly beautiful. She exhaled the effects of a water-color in discreet and delicate tinctures.
The empire of the Himyarites, which filled Yemen and the Hadhramout valley with interesting remains, does not appear to have extended its sway so far eastward; no Sabæan remains have as yet been found in Oman, nor are there any that I have heard of further east than the frankincense country of Dhofar, over six hundred miles west of Maskat.
In and around those trenches will be found the earthly remains of men Jocks and Jimmies, and Sandies and Andies clad in the uniform of almost every Scottish regiment.
