And you stand by like a fool and let him do it ''

And using him, Mike McLish, as a sop to her pride.

And his relatively small hands and feet gave him an almost delicate appearance.

And now she could see him, looking uncommon handsome, standing there beside Sally Jackson and her folks in front of their trail-worn wagon.

And to prove what you tell him about me you suggest that he keep the date instead.

And he missed the point that the swarthy witches might be laughing at him for hoping to escape Nicolas Manas.

And Keith's record of kills made him a man to listen to -- a man paradoxically, who might even survive.

And he knew that the men talked about him behind his back, saying that he was one up on everybody else -- including the pilot of the plane with the swastika on it -- because he was chemically incapable of fear.

And so when the others stampeded out that afternoon Jack remained docilely in his seat near a window, looking out in what he hoped was a pitiable manner, while the other kids laughed and yelled in at him and made faces as they dispersed, going home.

And carried him backward in a footballer's tackle.

And when he complained of the lack of time for all he wanted to do, Henrietta advised him to rise at five in the morning as she and Papa did.

And just as `` Laurie '' Lawrence was first attracted to bright Jo March, who found him immature by her high standards, and then had to content himself with her younger sister Amy, so Joe Jastrow, who had also been writing Henrietta before he came to Johns Hopkins, had to content himself with her younger sister, pretty Rachel.

' And would you believe it ', Vic added, ' she likes him better than she does me.

Victor had been stirred by my account of him in Makers And Finders, for Stephens was one of the lost writers whom Melville had seen in his childhood and whom I was bent on resurrecting.

And when questioned by ship's reporters about the separation, she said, `` I adore him, and he adores me ''.

But his rancor did not cease, and presently, on March 13, when he preached a sermon on the text, `` And Ben-hadad Was Drunk '', he told his congregation how disappointed he was in Mr. Lewis, how he regretted having had him in his house, and how he should have been warned by the fact that the novelist was drunk all the time that he was working on the book.

`` And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.

`` And Jesus, when he was baptized went up straightway out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him ''.

And for him to leave this job now without accomplishing anything would mean practically the end of his career in the Methodist church, if not in all churches.

And that was why, on the day of the performance, when a carriage from the royal stables called to take him to the palace, he did not bother to shave.

And he ignored him, skirting the parked cars and walking up the path to the Skopas house.

And all this too shall pass away: it came to him out of some dim corner of memory from a church service when he was a boy -- yes, in a white church with a thin spur steeple in the patriarchal Hudson Valley, where a feeling of plenitude was normal in those English-Dutch manors with their well-fed squires.

And it presented itself to him as it would to any stranger, impervious, complete in itself.

And she was made to fall in love with him again there in the rutted dirt driveway standing in the cold fog, mad as she was at his going away when he really didn't have to, mad at their both having got older in a life that seemed to have taken no more than a week to go by.

And you wanted no part of me when I had so much to give.

And I appreciate the advice ''.

And I had hardly finished my business in the toilet on the aforementioned occasion when the lights in that place, like the hall lights controlled from the switch in the office, flicked off and on impatiently.

And Hank Maguire added, `` So am I, Tom ''.

`` And I sort o' got a corner on the market ''.

`` And I so want the part '', she said.

And that is the way I first saw her when my Uncle brought her into his antique store.

And then I became aware that she, too, glanced at me surreptitiously.

And I will greatly appreciate it if you will not tell your husband.

And when I make the dive again '' -- He paused ; ;

And I aim to have it ''.

`` And now '', said Tilghman with deadly calm, `` I'll repeat what I said.

And therein, I feel, many Northerners delude themselves about the South.

And so I would only touch upon it now ( much as I have long wanted to write a book about it ).

And if I have gone into so much detail about so small a work, that is because it is also so typical a work, representing the germinal form of a conflict which remains essential in Mann's writing: the crude sketch of Piepsam contains, in its critical, destructive and self-destructive tendencies, much that is enlarged and illuminated in the figures of, for instance, Naphta and Leverkuhn.

Being a teacher of American literature, I remembered Whittier's `` Massachusetts To Virginia '', where he said: `` But that one dark loathsome burden ye must stagger with alone, And reap the bitter harvest which ye yourselves have sown ''.

`` I scanned the world through printed symbol swart, And through the beggar's rags I strove to see The inner man.

And I select this sentence as its pertinent summation: `` in essence the drama of his ( Eisenhower's ) Presidency can be described as the ordeal of a nation turned conservative and struggling -- thus far with but limited and precarious success -- to give effective voice and force to that conservatism ''.

I saw a piece the other day assailing William Buckley, author of Man And God at Yale and publisher of The National Review, as no conservative at all, but an old liberal.

And I would further note that they all -- with one exception again -- sang in one key or another the same song.

If I now risk some comparisons with Sons And Lovers let it be clear that I am not comparing the two works or judging their merits ; ;

`` And I think you had better leave '', replied Miriam.
