The strong current of waters from the boundless bosom of the Great Lake, sweeping down between this island and the opposite little islands of Nashawn and its sisters, has made great encroachments upon the former, widening to a journey of two hours what was once only the work of one to perform. My brothers, who are with me from the lands of the Pawkunnawkuts, know that my words are true.
These two roped together thundered off with the noose widening. I was afraid they would split round a tree or stump, but fortunately the noose fell off one. As all the horses pounded off I heard Romer remark to Isbel: "Say, Joe, I don't see any medals on that cowboy." Isbel roared, and said: "Wal, Romer, you shore hit the nail, on the haid!"
I believe the root of the whole matter is that the maternal instinct is not so general as formerly. The causes for this I am not wise enough to determine. It may be due to the greater enfranchisement of women, the widening of women’s lives and ambitions, the new occupations, the new interests which have so transformed feminine existence. Maternity and the grievous and irksome processes of its accomplishment are apt to interfere with all this. The instinct of motherhood is still doubtless innate in the majority; when the babies come, often unwelcome, the instinct reasserts itself as a rule, but it is certainly not general for the average woman of to-day to feel it stirring before marriage or actual motherhood, and I honestly believe that the number of women who, like the female bee, are utterly without this instinct is yearly increasing. It has often occurred to me that men are really fonder of children than are women. In my own experience, I
Hugging the marshy shore, they rounded the Blackwall Point. Young William looked to Kirkwood, caught his eye, and nodded. "Here?" Kirkwood rose, balancing himself against the leap and sway of the boat. "Sumwhere's ... 'long ... o' 'ere." From right to left his eager glance swept the river's widening reach.
"There are many crocodiles to-night," he finally said, pointing toward the log where a slight ripple, widening into vanishing rings, closed over a dark form. "That's a queer kind of fish!" The sailors on the patrol-boat crowded around the speaker, glad of any excitement to break the monotony of their vigil.
He strode directly toward the vacant chair beside Margalida, the place reserved for the suitors. As he took his seat he flung back his hood and fixed his eyes on the girl. "Ah!" she gasped, turning pale, her eyes widening in surprise. So great was her emotion, so violent, her impulse to draw away from him, that she nearly fell to the floor.
"I don't read the papers" and Innocent smiled a little as in the widening light she began to see the stolid, stupid, but good- natured face of the man "I don't understand them. I've read about the sea in books, books of poetry." He uttered a sound between a whistle and a grunt. An' ye're goin' to seek service in Lunnon?
The Progressives, however, welcomed with eagerness this robust leadership. The breach in the Republican party was widening with steadily accelerating speed. In the fall of 1910 a new demand arose that Roosevelt should enter actively into politics. Though it came from his own State, he resisted it with energy and determination.
It is not bounded by a limiting circumference as in the merely symbolic geometrical figure, but is rather represented by the impulse which generates an ever widening circle of electro-magnetic waves; and when we realize this, our square becomes a living thing.
We turned at last sharply to the left, and began a descent through a narrow ravine towards the creek. We were nearing its widening mouth when a half-dozen sharp reports of fire-arms broke upon our ears. A halt was ordered and the men directed to prevent the animals from betraying our presence by whinnying or braying.
