This torn sheet, which I did not observe when I began upon it, as it alters the figure, shortens, too, the length of my letter. It may very well afford it: my anxiety for you carries me insensibly to these lengths.
She resents his behaviour with her usual dignity. But when she comes to mention Mr. Mennell's letter, she re-urges Miss Howe to perfect her scheme for her deliverance; being resolved to leave him. But, dating again, on his sending up to her Miss Montague's letter, she alters her mind, and desires her to suspend for the present her application to Mrs.
Only think what would be said to me if I was called to a fire, and didn't go because I wanted to play with May Dashwood?" "But I was sent for," pleaded Fred. "Mrs Dashwood had a big oh, such a big washin', an' sent to say if I might be let go; an' mother said I might, so I went." "Ah, that alters the case, Fred," replied his father, patting the boy's head.
All that is taking place around her here she seems to regard with indifference. Only when mention is made of the great principles of the International Revolution does she suddenly awake, her whole expression alters; she reminds one of a beast of prey seeing its victim at hand and preparing to fall upon it and rend it. "After dinner I had my first long conversation with Hr. Joffe.
"Yes, father," said Agricola, hesitatingly; "but I have promised to attend all the morning in the workshop, to finish a job that is required in a hurry. If I fail to do so, I shall inflict some injury upon M. Hardy. But I'll soon be at liberty." "That alters the case," said Dagobert, with a sigh of regret.

Whatever is incoherent in my description must be referred to the fact of my never having attained to a full comprehension of the subject.
Now Christianity removes the attraction of the earth; and this is one way in which it diminishes man's burden. It makes them citizens of another world. What was a ton yesterday is not half a ton today. So without changing one's circumstances, merely by offering a wider horizon and a different standard, it alters the whole aspect of the world.

"That, my dear boy, alters the question; Mrs. Hoggarty is of an age when all things must be yielded to her.
"Yes, I think I am, Valerie; for, after all, your father duly deserves his severe penance, which is, to visit the Morgue every day; but painful as is the remedy, it is necessary for the cure." "Yes, madame," replied I, sobbing, "all you say is true, but still I cannot help weeping and pitying my poor father; not that it alters my determination, but I cannot command my feelings."
