There were six men in frozen attitudes, trying to reflect sunshine down to a single blindingly-bright spot on an airlock door. They seemed breathlessly tense. They ignored the glories of the firmament. They were utterly absorbed in trying to make a spot of unbearable brightness glow more brightly still. Mike moved his hand to cast a shadow.
Natas had formed an entirely accurate estimate of the policy of the leaders of the League when he told Tremayne, in the library at Alanmere, that they would concentrate all their efforts on the reduction of London. The rest of the kingdom had been for the present entirely ignored.
Nobody, even the best-intentioned, can deny that Emperor William has many faults; those are, however, either ignored altogether, or else exaggerated to an extent that eclipses all his good qualities, by his various biographers. Very few pen-portraits of royal personages that pass through the hands of the publishers can be said to present a true picture of their subject.
"I was crossing the hall just as the boy reached the door. So I opened the door myself. It was from Charlie to say that he would be at the Grand Babylon Hotel to-night." "Charlie! The Grand Babylon!... Not Buckingham Palace." Eve ignored his crude jocularity. "It seems I ought to have received it early in the afternoon.
Love is the fundamental principle of God’s purpose for man, and He has commanded us to love each other even as He loves us. All these discords and disputes which we hear on all sides only tend to increase materiality. The world for the most part is sunk in materialism, and the blessings of the Holy Spirit are ignored.

"Tell him to come here, now."
He ignored her portentous pause and drop of the voice, walking on with downcast eyes. "You mean, it's an accepted thing?" "Oh, no! not yet accepted. Mama respects the black edge, you know. But I heard Mrs. Wake and Mrs. Pakenham talking about it." "Heard? How could you have heard?" Jack's eyes, stern with accusation, were now upon her.
Thus it was, while not daring to forbid the elections for the Duma to proceed, the government adopted a Machiavellian policy. The essentials of that policy were these: on the one hand, the Duma was not to be seriously considered at all, when it should assemble. It would be ignored, if possible, and no attention paid to any of its deliberations or attempts to legislate.
But Margaret ignored him. "I'm connected with a leading insurance company, sir. "I come, and it's to have my brain picked. I ask you, is it fair?"

Not content with" pointing at Margaret "you can't deny it."
A slow red came to his face. The phrase was peculiarly a difficult one, and beyond him, as he knew; but that did not make the present intrusion into his privacy any the more welcome. "Oh, will we, indeed!" he retorted, a little sharply. "Don't trouble yourself, I beg of you, boy." "But it isn't a mite of trouble, truly," urged David, with an ardor that ignored the sarcasm in the other's words.
