It is, in fact, a mere particle of living jelly, without defined parts of any kind without a mouth, nerves, muscles, or distinct organs, and only manifesting its vitality to ordinary observation by thrusting out and retracting from all parts of its surface, long filamentous processes, which serve for arms and legs.
She darted a hateful glance at the perspiring Dusty Rhodes, who was vainly trying to get Campbell's ear; and at the end of her recital there was a look in Wunpost's eye that spoke of reprisals to come. The fat was in the fire, as far as Rhodes was concerned, but he surprised them all by retracting.
"My dear Captain" he was retracting his leathery cheeks into a condescending, shark-like smile "we were not morally obliged to tell you of a possible shortage before you signed the charter- party. It was for you to guard against the contingency of a delay- -strictly speaking. But of course we shouldn't have taken any advantage. This is no one's fault really.
The adherents of credulity often accuse the unbelievers of bad faith because they sometimes waver in their principles, changing opinions during sickness, and retracting them at the hour of death. When the body is diseased, the faculty of reasoning is generally disturbed also.
By what fatality am I doomed, am I forced to marry a woman whom I cannot love, whose person and manners are peculiarly disagreeable to me, and when I'm half in love with another woman!" "That would be a shocking thing, indeed," said Lady Mary, retracting, and alarmed; for now another train of associations was wakened, and she judged not by her worldly, but by her romantic system.

Thus, my lords, one change introduces another, till the original constitution is entirely destroyed.
A strange sense of comfort stole over her. When she had written her letter to Roger, retracting the promise she had given him, she would be free free to belong wholly to the man she loved. Though they might never be together, though their love must remain for ever unconsummated, still in her loneliness she would know herself utterly and entirely his.
"But the name of Professor Grant is known to all California as beyond the breath of calumny or suspicion." "It is because of that fact that I propose to keep it so." "And may I ask in what way you wish me to assist you in so doing?" "By promptly and publicly retracting in the 'Clarion' every word of this slander against Harcourt." Fletcher looked steadfastly at the speaker. "And if I decline?"
As soon as Pius IX. became aware of the critical state of King Victor Emmanuel, he sent to him his own chaplain, Bishop Marinelli, with full authority to reconcile the dying monarch to the church on his expressing repentance and retracting. This dignitary went thrice to the palace, and was as often repelled by the watchful ministers, who strictly guarded the person of the king.
Willett now retracting his previous statements, a perilous confidence returned. The Curacao ships were allowed to sail; and Stuyvesant, yielded to the solicitation of his council, went up the river to look after affairs at Fort Orange. The English squadron had been ordered to assemble at Gardiner's Island.
