Beautiful place, this; and they breed a remarkably good class of cattle. I'm rather an authority on shorthorns; shall go in for some myself, if I can afford it." To all this the Inspector listened with amazement. "Anything you'd like me to do, Mr. Jacobs?" he asked, in a tone that verged on exasperation. "Is there anything else you'd like to see? That window in the lower hall, for instance?"
Many things had been suggested, swordplay and tests that verged on torture, climbing in giddy places and the like, before this was chosen.
As he entered the picture-gallery and paused for a moment looking at Felix on the sofa, his large, cold, steady gray eyes rested on the little man with an indifference that just verged on contempt. Felix, on the other hand, sprang to his feet with alert politeness and greeted his friend with exuberant cordiality. "Dear old boy! This is so good of you," he began.
Without exactly being able to express the situation in words, both realised that a condition which verged upon the intolerable was fast approaching its climax. Along with the impatience of youth and the thought of many grievances they had within them a natural instinct for fairness; a legacy perhaps from a father who had been just and a mother who had been mercifully kind and gentle.
With hearts full of disappointment, the force disbanded, and the men began to retrace their steps homeward. A portion of it, however, remained together. Some in sleighs and others on foot verged off across the prairie from St. John's school-house, in this way endeavouring to avoid Fort Garry.

Little Ann had seemed the apotheosis of the feminine, the warmly helpful, the subtly supporting, the kind. She had been to him an amazement and a revelation.
Then Erics' head, growing as he inspected my face more closely, covered everything else up. "When are you going to begin?" I demanded. "We have finished," he answered in awe that verged upon reverence. "You are the new Adam!" There was a mounting burst of applause as the viewers learned what I had said.
The Caucasus presented a formidable obstacle between Russia and the Turkish and Persian Empires; the deserts of Central Asia separated her from the Moslem peoples of Khiva, Bokhara and Turkestan; the huge range of the Altai Mountains and the desert of Gobi cut off her thinly peopled province of Eastern Siberia from the Chinese Empire; while in the remote East her shores verged upon ice-bound and inhospitable seas.
The misanthrope, before he would promise his assistance, asked if his prospect verged towards matrimony; and our adventurer, who guessed the meaning of his question, replying in the negative, he undertook the office of reconnoitring her inclination, protesting at the same time, that he would never concern himself in any scheme that did not tend to the disgrace and deception of all the sex.
But afterward Sermaise gnawed at his under lip like a madman as he went about seeking for Francois de Montcorbier. "Deux estions, et n'avions qu'ung Cueur" It verged upon nine in the evening a late hour in those days when Francois climbed the wall of Jehan de Vaucelles' garden. A wall! and what is a wall to your true lover?
