That object was accomplished; the Church shook them off. But imbecilities make an irresistible appeal to man; he inevitably tries to preserve them by cloaking them with religious sanctions.

The other was the Rabbi Ben Samuel; and both had approached as near to the Preceptory as they dared, on hearing that the Grand Master had summoned a chapter for the trial of a sorceress. "Brother Ben Samuel," said Isaac, "my soul is disquieted, and I wot not why. This charge of necromancy is right often used for cloaking evil practices on our people."
As she hesitated, Knight who was a knight no longer in her eyes opened the door, very softly, not to disturb her if she slept. In the morning light which paled the uncurtained window their eyes met. Annesley slipped off the bed and stood up, cloaking her bare white neck with her hair. Suddenly she felt that he was a strange man who had no right to be in her room.
And, "I don't want any; I've enough to do as it is!" is the false, cloaking answer that each Sister gives to the other. But my Sisters are frank women; they laughed at my excitement themselves not unstirred. It's so long since we've had a convoy. The gallants of the ward showed annoyance. New men, new interests.... They drew together and played bridge.
The latter are seated or bent down working the paddles; while the big men stand erect, each with an ample robe of skin hanging toga-like from his shoulders, cloaking him from neck to ankles.

You can have no notion, my dear, of the compliments one calls down on one's head by so doing.

'for the purpose of keeping up her strength." And Mahony laughed hotly.
His father's studious mind felt itself years behind him, he was so completely altered. He had the precision of speech, the bearing of a man of thirty. Indeed he had all that the necessity for cloaking an infinite misery gives. But let things be as they might, he was, there. For one night in his life Sir Austin's perspective of the future was bounded by the night.
I snatched it out of the bosom of my dress and was about to rend it as I went towards the hearth, but she stood in my way, snatched the letter violently from me, and cried: "Then if all is at an end, I will at any rate be clear about it.

He was further informed that we were much disappointed in not receiving any dried meat from him, an article indispensable for our summer voyage and which he had led us to believe there was no difficulty in procuring, and that in fact his complaints were so groundless in comparison with the real injury we sustained from the want of supplies that we were led to believe they were preferred solely for the purpose of cloaking his own want of attention to the terms of his engagement.
Agatha understood the boyish irritation, cloaking the love of the man. "You may be able to get more information about your cousin from Mr. Hand," she said. "He would be likely to know as much as anybody." "Well, however it happened, he's here now!" "Though if it had not been for his fearful struggle for me, he would not have been so ill," said Agatha miserably.
