Her world that had always seemed so small, bounded on its every side by Jimmie, now suddenly assumed limitless proportions and beautiful possibilities.There was so much to be done and so much to think about.Tomorrow she would see Susy Castle; maybe other boys and girls....
The ears are haunted with the laughter of vulgarity, and the judicious discouragement of prudence.Is there not as much to be said for taking one line as another?If there is talk of conflict, were it not better to leave the issue in the discriminating hands of One whose judgment is indisputable?...
Robert had been busy up to the last moment.There was so much to be done in a short space of time.The vessel carried a large number of passengers, and he did not wish to detain them too long, though they one and all expressed their willingness to suit his convenience in this respect....
Rows there will undoubtedly be, since we are all of us, even the working man, human; but there need be no scandals.I must not go on, though there is so much to be said....
We spent all our time working, for there was much to be done.Our chief tasks were clearing out existing trenches and digging new communication trenches where they were wanted....
But to bed I could not go; and Ludar for once, I found, was not hard to persuade.There was in truth much to be done before we could think of rest.Together we overhauled the ship's rations, and found what would last us for long enough yet....
Then Fiddlestick, Q.C., rose to cross-examine, devoting his efforts to trying to make Eustace admit that his behaviour had been of a nature to amply justify his uncle's behaviour.But there was not very much to be made out of it.Eustace detailed all that had passed freely enough, and it simply amounted to the fact that there had been angry words between the two as regards the treatment that Augusta had met with at the hands of the firm....
In fact, it may be compared to an etching so full of unnecessary details that composition, balance of mass, and beauty of line are all smothered in them.And yet there is much to be said on the other side.The mere size -- the height and width -- go far to make the front impressive; and the detail, even now when so much of it has been restored, is usually beautiful....
I spent three busy days at the Brennan place.There was much to be done both inside and outside the house.After the first day, Katie did not return with me, as my mother-in-law needed her in the apartment....
The first Inspector-General was Sir Robert Hart, who, by the unanimous testimony of all parties, fulfilled his duties exceedingly well.For the time being, there is much to be said for the present system.The Chinese have the appointment of the Inspector-General, and can therefore choose a man who is sympathetic to their country....
She rose from the couch, feeling that she had aged ten years in an hour.There was much to be done, and little time in which to do it.She had cast down her jewels when the king had spoken as though they would atone for the loss of his love; but now that the love was gone there was no reason why the jewels should be lost too....
It was too much to be alone with in the dark!She reached out softly, as if she feared to disturb some threatening presence lurking around her, and lit the small night lamp on the low table by her bed....
The Bad Huis, or Bath Hotel, which is on the Boom Keys, the best street in Rotterdam, was recommended to me as the only one a gentleman could go to, and there accordingly I and four of the passengers took up our quarters.Upon the whole, there did not appear much to be seen in the town.The inhabitants seemed more an eating and drinking sort of people than any thing else....
It does not want to hear what someone thinks, or what the witness believes or concludes, but only what he perceived.There is much to be said for and against this rule on both sides.A broader method to the lawyer seems shockingly loose and slipshod....
