Neither the pilot nor passenger was strapped in. "Opinion. The Committee is of opinion that the failure of the air-craft was due to inherent structural weakness. "Since that portion of the air-craft in which the pilot and passenger were seated was undamaged, it is conceivable their lives might have been saved had they been strapped in."
Mother wants to run my whole programme for me, you understand, but the trouble of it is about girls like that, you see well, I couldn't do what she wants, even if I wanted to myself, because you take those girls, and by the time I get Ella off my hands for a minute, why, their dances are always every last one taken, and where do I come in?" Alice nodded, her amiability undamaged. "I see.
He had his pistol still in its proper pocket, and undamaged, and if the wily Rad had shown himself anywhere within range just then, it is a certain thing that he would have been shot dead to square the account.

The anchor was too small, and his father had often spoken about getting a larger one. But this he had neglected to do, principally because of the expense.

I make no doubt there are twenty hogsheads of undamaged sugars, at this very moment, in the hold of that wreck, and on the beach of the island. I fed my poultry on it, the whole time I staid." "And so you abandoned Marble Land to the pig's and the fowls?" "I did, indeed, Miles; and I hope the poor creaturs will have a comfortable time of it.
This charter is noteworthy for the title the King gives himself, "Ego Edgar totius Albionis Basileus." For some time this establishment continued to flourish. But the troublous times that followed the Norman conquest did not leave Burgh undamaged. It plays a considerable part in the story of Hereward, the Saxon patriot.
