Then replacing the jar in the locker he poured a little of the whisky into two glasses, added a little water and came back with them to the fireplace. I put out my hand to her and she took it; I held her hard a little, liking to feel her close to me. He heaped up the food on Stephen's plate and served uncle Charles and Mr Casey to large pieces of turkey and splashes of sauce. Every jackass going the roads thinks he has ideas.…

"Were you very happy at school?" He just considered. But he had already jerked straight round, stared, glared again, and seen but the quiet day. President Reagan, on behalf of our Nation, I thank you for the wonderful things that you have done for America. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to…

Their dank hair hung trailed over their brows. We must bring in the generations, harnessing the unused talent of the elderly and the unfocused energy of the young. If our value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce 2 million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-two text files per month: or 400 more Etexts in 1996 for a total of 800.

He moved with a shambling gait round the group and spoke to Stephen. The sun, the great luminary of the universe, had become as sackcloth of hair. Thrust it out of men's sight into a long hole in the ground, into the grave, to rot, to feed the mass of its creeping worms and to be devoured by scuttling plump-bellied rats. For him I but express with my own the wishes of all, that he may yet long live to enjoy the brilliant evening of his well-spent life; and for myself, consciou s of but one…

The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James February, 1995 [Etext #209] *****The Project Gutenberg Etext of The Turn of the Screw***** *****This file should be named tturn10. From what had he set out? Perhaps he had been born and bred among serious dissenters, seeing salvation in Jesus only and abhorring the vain pomps of the establishment. The inhuman clamour soothed his ears in which his mother's sobs and reproaches murmured insistently and the dark frail quivering bodies wheeling and fluttering…

We had left Miles indoors, on the red cushion of a deep window seat; he had wished to finish a book, and I had been glad to encourage a purpose so laudable in a young man whose only defect was an occasional excess of the restless. Divided, there is little we can do - for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. , by his bull, not only prohibited, but was the first that excommunicated the reading of heretical books; for about that time Wickliffe and Huss, growing…

Stephen glanced up quickly but Moynihan's snoutish face, outlined on the grey light, was impassive. But he would not go to hell when he died; and the shaking would stop. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe - the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. --I know you are poor, he said.…

He remembered the summer evening he had been there to be dressed as boatbearer, the evening of the Procession to the little altar in the wood. But is it that makes you go? --I have to go, Stephen answered. And he knew I had not--I found myself at the end of an instant magnificently aware of this. Twelve, thirteen: for two came wheeling down from the upper sky.

There was something in them that always made one "catch," and I caught, at any rate, now so effectually that I stopped as short as if one of the trees of the park had fallen across the road. And amid this new bustling life he might have fancied himself in another Marseille but that he missed the bright sky and the sum-warmed trellises of the wineshops.

In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor - the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others - the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.

A grey woollen cloak was wrapped athwart her from her shoulder to her waist and her fair head was bent in willing shame. --We knew perfectly well of course that though it was bound to come to the light he would find considerable difficulty in endeavouring to try to induce himself to try to endeavour to ascertain the spiritual plenipotentiary and so we knew of course perfectly well-- Murmuring faces waited and watched; murmurous voices filled the dark shell of the cave.

Stephen handed him the packet of cigarettes. I consider the veto power, therefore, given by the Constitution to the Executive of the United States solely as a conservative power, to be used only first, to protect the Constitution from violation; secondly, the people from the effects of hasty legislation where their will has been probably disregarded or not well understood, and, thirdly, to prevent the effects of combinations violative of the rights of minorities.

A quick whisper ran through the class: the prefect of studies. As we meet here today, we stand on the threshold of a new era of peace in the world. But our young lady never came back, and at the very moment I was expecting her I heard from the master that she was dead.

The retreat will go on from Wednesday to Friday. They said you got stinking stuff to drink when you were in the infirmary. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence.

Cranly's heavy boots were heard loudly charging across the quadrangle and then returning heavily, foiled and spurning the gravel at each step. Also, when thinking of him, saw always a stern severed head or death mask as if outlined on a grey curtain or veronica. Stephen shook his head and smiled in his rival's flushed and mobile face, beaked like a bird's. The eyes see the thing, without having wished first to see.…

"You'll receive the packet Thursday morning?" I inquired. They know that extravagance lengthens the hours and diminishes the rewards of their labor. "Then, in spite of yesterday, you BELIEVE--" "In such doings?" Her simple description of them required, in the light of her expression, to be carried no further, and she gave me the whole thing as she had never done. Why were they not Cranly's hands?
