France might, not unreasonably, indulge the hope that our government would be forced out of its neutral course, and be compelled to enter into the war as her ally. The letter to Mazzei could scarcely fail to encourage this hope.
Even Miss Campbell, unreasonably prejudiced, felt the undercurrent. "That is a charming story," she observed. "I suppose Japan is filled with many romantic stories of that sort." "Hundreds of them," answered the widow. "And you know many of them, I suppose?" asked Billie. "Oh, yes. One could not live in Japan without studying her history, so filled with romances and legends of heroic deeds.
She knew that if she did she would be bound to continue on the look-out, and be shocked by a series of these ugly incidents. She asked Considine if he would read to them, and he consented readily. He liked reading aloud, partly because he was, not unreasonably, vain of his speaking voice and partly because the practice was part of his theory of education.
At the same time, however, the king's most confidential counsellor, Bomilcar who not unreasonably apprehended that, if peace should ensue, Jugurtha would deliver him up as the murderer of Massiva to the Roman courts was gained by Metellus and induced, in consideration of an assurance of impunity as respected that murder and of great rewards, to promise that he would deliver the king alive or dead into the hands of the Romans.
"I was not twenty paces from you when you met, and had I not been hampered by a Frenchman of your side, who was unreasonably slow in dying, I should have either saved my father's life or ended yours, as I mean to now." Thereupon Gilbert brought his horse to a stand and prepared to dismount, for the sward was smooth and hard and there was room enough to fight.
The young girls who leave our public elementary schools and go out into factories have never been trained to home duties, and yet, when taken to wife, are unreasonably expected to fill worthily the difficult positions of the head of a household and the mother of a family.
Feeling much, and understanding what she felt, and feeling for what she understood must she also suffer much? Must one always pay? He sighed, and began gathering together his papers. Thoughts about life tired him to-day. On the steps he paused, unreasonably enough a little saddened as he watched some of them beginning a tennis game.
Men have asked me that question several times; but never so soon, so unreasonably soon never without some preliminary of some sort, so that I could foresee, be more or less prepared. But you gave me no warning. I if you had, I would have known how to be gentle. I I wish to be now.
But here she was, nevertheless, laughing at him and blushing adorably because he still held her fast, and making the blood of him race most unreasonably. "Don't scold me, Aunt Phoebe," she begged, perhaps because there was something in Phoebe's face which she did not quite understand, and so mistook for disapproval of her behavior.
It must be urged, in extenuation of the atrocity of this design, that a man perpetually brooding over one scheme, which to him has become the very sustenance of existence, and which scheme, perpetually frustrated, grows desperate by disappointment, acquires a heat of morbid and oblique enthusiasm, which may be not unreasonably termed insanity; and that, at the very time Wolfe reconciled it to his conscience to commit the murder of his fellow creature, he would have moved out of his path for a worm.
