"Oh, well, don't apologize for it. Every man has his failings. I'll be only too happy to give you some instructions. I have acquired the useful practice of being able to drink both on and off duty. Anything can be done, Stoliker, if you give your mind to it. I don't believe in the word 'can't, either with or without the mark of elision." Stoliker did not answer, and Yates yawned wearily.
Even to him the situation proved mathematically complex, and the sumptuous stone to her memory bears the dizzying legend that "Enoch Nudd who erects this stone is her fourth husband and his fifth wife." Perhaps it was the exigencies of space which brought about this amazing elision; but surely, in its very apparent intention, there is only a modest pride.
"Fine!" "Catie there?" she asked again, with the crisp elision of one whose life has been too strenuous to waste itself in the more leisurely forms of speech. "Yes. Is breakfast ready?" She nodded, as she speared the sizzling sausages one by one and transferred them to a platter. Then, while she poured off a little of the fat by way of gravy, she put yet another question. "Look pretty?" she said.
"Queer, isn't it?" she asked, and Anne, knowing all that lay in the elision, nodded silently. Once that afternoon the great brass knocker on the front door fell, and Mary Nellen answered and came to Lydia to say a gentleman was there. Should he be asked in? Mary Nellen seemed to have an impression that he was mysteriously not the sort to be admitted.
When Anderson realized that she was fading daily he exhausted himself in long expositions of the illness and injury and death common to armies in the making. More deaths came from these causes than from war. It was the elision of the weaker element the survival of the fittest; and some, indeed very many, mothers must lose their sons that way.
The assembly of the United Canadas in 1842 declared his arrest to be "unjust and illegal," and his sentence "null and void," and he was offered a pension as some compensation for the injuries he had received; but he refused it unless it was accompanied by an official declaration of the illegality of the conviction and its elision from the records of the courts.
Scott evidently arranged his scheme of metre with extreme care here, though it is possible that after this severe exercise he let it take care of itself to some extent later. His introduction is in the strict octosyllable, with only such licences of slur or elision 'The pi | tying Duch | ess praised its chime, 'He had played | it to King Charles the Good'
"But, by my profession, I am here to preach the truth," he burst out at length. "Preach it, then," Opdyke advised him calmly. "According to my notion, truth can always be proved." "Prove it, then," Opdyke advised him, with unabated calm. "It won't." Brenton spoke with the curt elision of his country ancestry. Opdyke watched him steadily for more than a minute. Then,
Ineffable moment! when the man you secretly hate sends you a Latin epigram with a false gender hendecasyllables with a questionable elision, at least a toe too much attempts at poetic figures which are manifest solecisms. That moment had come to Politian: the secretary had put forth his soft head from the official shell, and the terrible lurking crab was down upon him.
Taking into account his remarkable firmness of physique, it struck you that this transparency must be due to some excessive radiance of soul. The Junior Journalists may have been a little hard on him. On the whole, he left you dubious until the moment when, from pure nervousness, his speech went wild, even suffering that slight elision of the aspirate observed by some of them.
