A shipmaster making for Maryland with emigrants encountered unusually rough weather. An old woman, one Mary Lee, was accused of raising the storm, and drowned as a witch. A woman walked a long distance over muddy roads without soiling her dress. "I scorn to be drabbled," she said, and was hanged as a reward. George Burroughs could lift a barrel by inserting his finger in the bunghole.
If it was not for soiling the sword of a gentleman by dipping it in his slave blood, I myself would take this vengeance." Angela exchanged glances with Monmouth, whose imperturbability exasperated the Gascon. Both of them realized the necessity of calming the chevalier; his anger might prove dangerous; he must be quieted at once, without betraying the secret of the prince's disguise.
The Douglas himself, since he takes the matter so warmly, might lift Sir Patrick's gauntlet without soiling of his honour." "My Lord of March," replied Douglas, "should speak but of what he understands. I do no injustice to the descendant of the Red Rover, when I say he is too slight to be weighed with the Douglas. The heir of Thomas Randolph might have a better claim to his answer."
You can eat it while you are reading or talking, and you can go on and on, absent-mindedly as it were, though you must mind not to swallow the stone. The trouble of disengaging this from the fruit is just sufficient to make the fruit taste sweeter for the labour. The stalk keeps you from soiling your fingers; it enables you also to play bob cherry.
I'll not have ye soiling the air with yer dirty talk. Get out, I say! Ye don't know a gentleman when ye see him, and ye never will."

But if you've two or three hundred to pay for my soiling the shoulders of your shirt, I'm willing to let the odds stand so." He smiled at me simply I swear almost winningly, such was the quality of the man. "I like you," he said simply. "If all the men of this country resembled you, all the world could not beat it."
There is not so much evil in man as men would have us believe; and it is a happy comfort to know and feel this. Leaving our little inn before day break next morning, we crossed the Sorgues, grown muddy since its infancy at Vaucluse, like many a young soul, whose mountain purity goes out into the soiling world and becomes sullied forever.
The monastery was set on fire, as I have told you but the doors had all been previously locked within, it is supposed by one of the monks named Ambrosio, who was subject to fits of insanity with the tragic result that he and Varillo perished in the flames, there being no possibility of rescue." "Then the guillotine is saved unnecessary soiling," said Sovrani fiercely.
One cannot afford to graze animals of any kind when one is trying to do intensive farming. It is indirect, it is wasteful of space and energy, and it doesn't force the highest product. Grazing, as compared with soiling, may be economical of labor, but as I understand economics that is the one thing in which we do not wish to economize.
