Meanwhile the students, we presume, are expected to occupy an attitude of doubtful patience.

Indeed we have heard it stated that some votes in the faculty were cast in favor of the regulations, at the time of their first consideration, under the impression that they were earnestly desired by a large majority of the students.

He uttered a timid little chuckle, and at that moment an innumerable host of hours began a ballet d'action illustrative of a series of events in the career of the Prophet. It was obvious that my poor uncomplaining old friend was really very miserable.
