Between 560 and 510 B.C., Athens was generally under the rule of the despot Pisistratus and his son Hippias.
She remotely felt that he was turning over in his mind something which precluded the possibility of his giving attention to other questions. "I almost feel as if your interest in her had lapsed," she said at last. "No. It has taken a an entirely new form," was his answer. It was when his glance encountered hers after he said this that each regarded the other with a slow growing anxiousness.
And so what we are bound to do is to take care not to conceal this conviction; to abstain scrupulously from all kinds of action and observance, public or private, which tend ever so remotely to foster the ignoble and degrading elements that exist in a court and spread from it outwards; and to use all the influence we have, however slight it may be, in loading public opinion to a right attitude of contempt and dislike for these ignoble and degrading elements, and the conduct engendered by them.

A sort of creeping fear had taken possession of him, as if he felt remotely that the child was to be the channel of his retribution. "Will you feed her yourself, Pete?" said Nancy. She was coming up with a saucer, of which she was tasting the contents.
They were all persons with whom he lived in a certain intimacy. One of them was an American sculptor of French extraction, or remotely, perhaps, of Italian, for he rejoiced in the somewhat fervid name of Gloriani.
