That reproach is being wiped out rapidly by the scarlet of self-imposed sacrifice. She did come in late for that very reason she will be the last of Germany's adversaries to withdraw. She did not want to come in at all. Many of her hundred million population emigrated to her shores out of hatred of militarism and to escape from just such a hell as is now raging in Europe.
He lives in self-imposed seclusion, in an elaborate primitivity which is often described in moving terms that are almost convincing of actual "primitivity". Far from the city, surrounded by Nature, the Taoist lives his own life, together with a few friends and his servants, entirely according to his nature.
The question before his mind was growing clear; whether he was to persist in this self-imposed martyrdom of himself and his family or whether he was to go back upon his outbreak of visionary fanaticism and close with this last opportunity that Lady Sunderbund offered of saving at least the substance of the comfort and social status of his wife and daughters.
S, Hilton Volunteers! pretty good pretty good!" and a light laugh rippled over the man's lips. "And Miss Tuttle is 'first lieutenant," he continued, "and gallantly came forward to share the self-imposed mission of her friend 'to go to the front. There's pluck there, too; but you are a precocious pair you two and keep one busy guessing what you will do next.
And now now, in the afternoon of this, the last of my self-imposed probation I sat alone with my fair wife in the drawing-room of the Villa Romani, conversing lightly on various subjects connected with the festivities of the coming morrow.

He took his place among the others without knowing what he did, and there he sat, gazing down at the green table-cloth. The general mood showed signs of dejection. For a long time now the bottom of the cash-box had been visible, and as more and more workers were turned into the street the product of self-imposed taxation was gradually declining.
I have been surprised to learn at what tender years such children have been borne down by a weight of self-imposed responsibility quite as heavy as can burden an adult, without the power of the adult to carry it.
