He wished it were over. "That's good," he said. "Apparently we all know where we all stand. I have no illusions about Carlotta's view-point either. There is no reason I should have. I got it first hand." "Don't be an idiot," ordered Mr. Cressy. "A woman can have as many view-points as there are days in the year, counting Sundays double.
Regarding the industrial proletariat, some writers think that there is little immediate likelihood of their becoming a major revolutionary factor, because of their traditionalism, ignorance, and apathy, and also because there is no real connection between them and the intelligentsia, the other centre of social discontent. The French economist Métin states this view-point very well.
It affords an opportunity to discuss public questions, to educate and crystallize public opinion on the Catholic view-point of pending problems. This readjustment is, in our estimation, one of the greatest benefits of a Congress, for without it there is waste of energies and danger of compromise on the part of the most zealous.
He wrote from the view-point of the politician, not of the moralist. What is good politics may be bad morals, and in fact, by a strange fatality, where morals and politics clash, the latter generally gets the upper hand.

Try to get beyond the view-point of a child. And, if I have not angered you beyond words, let me know how you get on. The unconventionality of this correspondence, you see, is not all on one side.

He turned again to the dust and roar of the stockyards a mile or so away. "Perhaps," he remarked hopefully, "the next train will be ours."
"At least it seems so, if we may judge from the pitching and plunging." "Ah, lad, you are judging from the landlubber's view-point," returned the sergeant. "Wait a bit, and you will understand better what Molloy means when he calls this only a `capful of wind." Miles had not to wait long.
It is the commendation which one whose house has been robbed during the night might bestow in the morning upon the robber, after noticing how adroitly he had opened the locks, and carried off the booty. This nefarious transaction was, from the perpetrator's view-point, cleverly planned and promptly executed. It was no sooner said than done; delay might have ruined the steward's prospects.
