The vacancy created in the borough of Lansmere by Audley Egerton's death was filled up by our old acquaintance, Haveril Dashmore, who had unsuccessfully contested that seat on Egerton's first election. The naval officer was now an admiral, and perfectly reconciled to the Constitution, with all its alloy of aristocracy. Dick Avenel did not retire from parliament so soon as he had anticipated.
Jefferson was a man who had worked unwearyingly in Virginia at sound, and what we should now call conservative, reforms, establishing religious toleration, reforming a preposterous land law, seeking to provide education for the poor, striving unsuccessfully for a sensible scheme of gradual emancipation of the slaves.
"Really of course but won't you sit down?" She sat down, and enjoyed my embarrassment for actually I was even more afraid of her now in the full light of day. A delightful expression of contempt hovered about her upper lip. "You look at love, and especially woman," she began, "as something hostile, something against which you put up a defense, even if unsuccessfully.
Half an hour afterwards, Dan Horsey, who had been sent to me with a note from my friend Stuart, went down into my kitchen, and finding Susan Barepoles there alone, put his arm round her waist. "Don't," said Susan, struggling unsuccessfully to get free. "What d'ye think Mrs Gaff has bin an' done?" "Don't know, my jewel, no more nor a pig as has niver seen the light o' day," said Dan.
All along this line considerable fighting took place throughout September, 1915, as has already been narrated. During September 21-22, 1915, this fighting was especially severe west and southwest of Dvinsk, where the Germans were making unsuccessfully desperate efforts to break the Russian lines and get within striking distance of Dvinsk.

There was a pause. "Such is my case," said Toussaint; "and thus you must represent it, if you be men of honour.
Indeed, there is no such commentary on renown as the "back numbers" of a comic journal. They show us that at certain moments certain people were eminent, only to make us unsuccessfully try to remember what they were eminent for.
They let their politics and their prejudices have a say, and you know you have made a good many enemies. Then again, what good will it do you to tell the public what you think of Tandy? That won't convince a living soul who isn't convinced already. The rest will say that you are naturally very angry with the man who found you out the man from whom you unsuccessfully tried to extort a bribe.
The players, pausing of necessity, breathed thanksgiving before returning to dialogue which had become suddenly imbued with new strength and finish. Eric felt Barbara's lips at his ear. "Didn't I say I'd will it for you?" she whispered. "It might go quite well," he answered, unsuccessfully nonchalant. "Every one's in a good temper now." "And you can let go my hand for a minute!"
For instance, what would the patrons of the "mass in masquerade" answer to Stanley's direct and emphatic pronouncement: "In the beginning of Christianity there was no such institution as the clergy; it grew naturally out of the increasing needs of the community . . . the intellectual element in religion requires some one to express it, and this, in some form or other, will be the clergy"? Surely if there were no "orders" in the beginning, then a priesthood was no creation of Jesus, his apostles were no priests, they created, therefore, no priests, and a priestly caste grew up as an intrusion in Christendom just as it arose in the religion of the holy Buddha in India, and attempted, though unsuccessfully, to invade the severely simple religion of Mohammed.
