An egg new-laid has a tiny air-space at each end, betwixt the shell and the silken lining membrane. If left lying, this confined air changes its locality leaves the ends for the upmost side of the shell. Shells are porous through them the white evaporates thus the air bubble on top gets bigger and bigger.
"'Oh, happy kiss that woke thy sleep!" cried a familiar voice close in the slumberer's ear, and then a warm breath, which was not the summer wind, fanned the cheek that lay upmost upon her arm, two warm lips were pressed against that glowing cheek in ardent greeting. The girl started to her feet, every vein tingling with the thrilling recognition of her assailant.
Sure it is folly that thus ye should strive and contend about mortals Till there is tumult in heaven, nor the least satisfaction awaits us, Banqueting wholly forgot, and the pestilent rivalry upmost! This my advice to my mother, and wise though she be, let her hear it.
The truth is, that I have felt very much attached to you for some time past upon my word and honor I have: it's a fact, I assure you, Miss Clinton; and I now beg to make you a tender of myself and and of all I am possessed of.

A muffled report from the lower tier was followed by a heavier and still a heavier one above. A creeping pang shot the heart of the granite, a dreadful awakening was upon it. From the tier of the upmost holes came at length the terrific burst of the heavy mines.
Pity, after all, is in itself a luxury. It is for the 'some' a measure of the gulf between themselves and the 'others. Those others had now begun to show signs of restiveness; but the gulf was as wide as ever. Anthony Trollope was not, like 'Punch, a mere interpreter of what was upmost in the average English mind: he was a beautifully patient and subtle demonstrator of all that was therein.
The hills, from their bases to their upmost summits, are overspread with gardens; all of them free from weeds, and in the highest state of improvement. Even the sides of the most barren mountains have been rendered fertile, by being divided into terraces, like steps rising one above another, upon which soil has been accumulated with astonishing labour.
