...powerful neighbors, that might allow them to use aggressive methods in gaining territorial strength at the expense of such nations as Italy. And so a flood of criticism of the answer arose in France that "painted" the foreign administration here. Unfortunately, however, this criticism was not confined to France. Bitter comments on America's "war" with Nicaragua, on her attitude toward the League, and her desire to dominate all international arrangements in which she has a part, were heard all over the world...
...remarkable tour de force, that particular example of what Mr. Benchley terms "unconscious exhibitionism". The weather was bitter cold and without that blithe victim of "divine afflatus" the period between halves would have seemed an unnecessary purgatory.

Last week the Herr President showed the tempo of his feeling by arriving with ponderous unexpectedness...

The clever duchess favored her husband's page, Chretien de Laferte; but, in a few years, after she had given him castles and wide lands, the page humbled her by marrying Agnes von Flavon whose stupidity Margarete disdained, whose beauty made her furious. The bitter, hideous little woman had Chretien killed; and when the Count of Tyrol invited Agnes to her castle, ugly Margarete shut the gates and let him ride off with his hunting companions on tired horses, through a night of rain...
