Speculation about God, the meaning of life, the social import of Christianity, was never more rife amongst educated people. Here I must check myself: what does "educated" mean? To be able to read and write, and say "Hear, hear" at public meetings? To have a pretty idea of the positions of Huxley and Haeckel by which to confound the poor old Bible?
The task was arduous, for, instead of facilitating matters, Benedetta's relationship to Cardinal Boccanera raised many difficulties, owing to the intriguing spirit rife at the Vatican, the spite of rivals who, by perpetuating the scandal, hoped to destroy Boccanera's chance of ever attaining to the papacy.

The land rose in price as settlers came in greater numbers. Land booms developed. Speculation was rife. Efforts were made to secure additional concessions from the Government.
A council of citizens was called at headquarters, and the verdict went forth in the never-to-be-forgotten Orders No. 24. "Inasmuch," said the General, "as the Secession army had driven these people from their homes, Secession sympathizers should be made to support them." He added that the city was unquestionably full of these. Indignation was rife the day that order was published.
There's a surf running there would knock the ribs together of a galley built by the imps of the pit, and commanded by the Prince of Darkness.
