It will be to his credit to remember that his first fancy wasn't a dairymaid." Mrs. Doria pitched her accent tellingly. It did not touch her nephew. "Don't you want Clare ever to marry?" He put the last point of reason to her. Mrs. Doria laughed. "I hope so, child. We must find some comfortable old gentleman for her." "What infamy!" mutters Richard.
When I finished the story of my giving warning of the plot in the ergastulum at Nuceria I paused. "Go on, lad!" he urged. "You have had adventures and you narrate them tellingly." I hesitated and then, utterly reckless, I blurted out: "If I am to go on with my story you might as well know right now, that I am not only Andivius Hedulio, but also Felix the Horse-Wrangler." He swore a great oath.
By no means desirable, I think. Yet, see: when a piece of Transatlantic slang happens to be tellingly true something coined from an absolute experience; from a fight with the elements we cannot resist it: it invades us. In the same way poetic rashness of the right quality enriches the language. I would make it prove its quality." Cornelia walked on gravely.
Nothing so tellingly revealed the difficulties of the new philosophy in dealing with living bodies as the insufficiency of the solutions Descartes had proposed. He had boldly declared the unity of animal life to be purely mechanical, and denied that brutes had souls at all, or any sensation. He had to admit soul in man, but he still denied the substantial unity of the human body.
The chief speaker, one who held the supreme position in Naval matters, spoke first. It was a masterly speech, every sentence of which was carefully prepared and tellingly delivered.

Not even her carriage rides had impressed her so tellingly with the sensation of her own importance in the great world of Imperial Rome. "How does he look to you?" Manlia asked. They were seated in the order of their seniority, Causidiena on the right, then Gargilia, Manlia next Brinnaria. "He looks crushed under his responsibilities and anxieties," Brinnaria replied.
The President of the National Women's Trade Union League, in her opening address before the New York convention in June, 1915, summed up the situation as to the sweated trades tellingly: For tens of thousands of girl and women workers the average wage in sweated industries still is five, eight and ten cents an hour, and these earnings represent, on the average, forty weeks' work out of a fifty-two week year.
At a time when individuality is supposed to be shown most tellingly by putting boots on one's hands and gloves on one's feet, it is somewhat refreshing to come across a true individualist who feels the chasm between himself and others so deeply, that he must perforce adapt himself to them outwardly, at least, in all respects, so that the inner difference should be overlooked.
Marshall established judicial review; he imparted to an ancient legal tradition a new significance; he made his Court one of the great political forces of the country; he founded American Constitutional Law; he formulated, more tellingly than any one else and for a people whose thought was permeated with legalism, the principles on which the integrity and ordered growth of their Nation have depended.
