Claudia had been a bossy girl, a domineering young woman. She had never forgiven her sister Anna for breaking away, marrying a rich husband and going her own gait. She had bought a country place she could not really afford, because it was her childhood home, and she secretly wanted her children to be molded into her shape. Claudia prided herself on being a modern mother, and most of all on her absolute honesty. She loved to analyze herself before others, invite and apparently accept criticism of her infallible conduct-and then go on exactly as before...
Provided he were known to possess a certain touch of whimsy, anyone would be forgiven for supposing that a special battalion of devils has been appointed for the express purpose of making and keeping Cambridge streets impassable in the winter. Their work begins with a heavy snow; they see to it that ploughs are kept away from the narrower streets, and especially those which cross the house area, for many hours after the snow has stopped.

Manhattan manners were forgiven, however, when Dr. Pool, long-time professor of clinical surgery at Columbia University, reappeared at San Francisco to be elected 1936 president of the American College of Surgeons...
...Cown ¶George V by the Grace of God King, Emperor of India and Defender of the Faith looks almost exactly like the late Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, and has never forgiven Bolsheviks for butchering his first cousin. Last week, as Lord Privy Seal Anthony Eden arrived in Moscow to confer with Joseph Stalin (see p. 19), King George again found means to show his strong feelings. Unimpressed by the fact that Bolshevik leaders were drinking his health at Moscow in champagne, an all-time high for hypocrisy, George V called to Buckingham Palace...
