The day's work had begun. From Cicely to the governess from the governess to the housekeeper from the telephone to the writing-table Justine vibrated back and forth, quick, noiseless, self-possessed sobering, guiding, controlling her confused and panic-stricken world.
But I'll bet those South Americans are saying pleasant things to the manufacturers yet." "Doubtless," Lidgerwood agreed, and now he was not smiling. The little side-light on the former Red-Butte-Western methods and upon Gridley was sobering.
The birds whirred and dropped just where he counted on their dropping. The smoke of the guns threaded to dazzling silver in the sunshine. Say what poor old Nevil will, or did say, previous to the sobering of his blood, where is there a land like England? Everard rejoiced in his country temperately.
It is hard to realize in the present day, when we contemplate these events through the sobering light of the deplorable sequel, how immense and wide-spreading was the enthusiasm that at this particular juncture seemed to put the fervent soul of a George Sand or an Armand Barbès into the most lukewarm and timid.
Chilled by the instant sobering, which follows the taking of life, the young man sickened and whirled away from the quivering flesh. Plunging his falchion in the sand to hide its stain, he went back to the fallen soldier. He knew by the look on the gray face, by the dark pool that had grown beside him, that the warrior had fought his last fight.

She has no shelter behind which to retire, as an ambush from the enemy; she has nothing to toss and whisk from side to side, expressing defiance without a word being uttered. The very weight of the pigtail is a sobering influence; its solemn, pendulum movement is incompatible with revolt. As for the slippers well, try heel-less shoes yourself, and test their effect!
Childhood and youth; the passion of the lover, sobering into the steadfast love of the husband; the busy toil of the married pair in field and household; the delight of accumulation and possession; the calamity of fire that destroys the labor of years; the blessedness of peaceful industry; the horrors of revolutionary fanaticism; the benediction of civic concord, these are the themes that are brought before us in a series of stirring pictures that are irresistibly fascinating.
That was the worst of Wallie: he never "let up"; and in Florence's circle there was no more sobering threat than, "I'll tell Wallie Torbin!" The fabric of civilized life is interwoven with blackmail: even some of the noblest people do favours for other people who are depended upon not to tell somebody something that the noblest people have done.
"I tell you I can not, and I will not!" "A late attack of conscience, eh?" sneered the governor, who was sobering rapidly now. "Let me ask a question or two. How much was that security debt your son-in-law let you in for?" "It was ten thousand dollars. It is an honest debt, and I shall pay it." "But not out of the salary of a circuit judge," Bucks interposed.
