The first part of the road was steep, but it leveled off after the second bend and curled gradually into the valley.

Though only a relatively short walk separated it from my own part of town, its character was wholly foreign to me.

Over and above that, however, was his growing suspicion of Chuck Stober's part in recent events.

Singing into the mirror and his interested eyes, he was pleased to note, when he stripped for his own bath, that he still had the best part of his Italian sun tan.

As he watched the man sit suddenly, a detached part of his mind observed how very difficult it was, really, to knock a man off his feet.

School began in August, the hottest part of the year, and for the first few days Miss Langford was very lenient with the children, letting them play a lot and the new ones sort of get acquainted with one another.

Satisfied at last, and after a few amorous gambits on her part which convinced Delphine that Dandy was capable of learning new arts, she opened the window and called to her liveried driver.

even when the fences became a part of the game -- when a vine-embowered gate-post was the Sleeping Beauty's enchanted castle, or when Rapunzel let down her golden hair from beneath the crocketed spire, even then we paid little heed to those who went by on the path outside.

Was it supposed, perchance, that A & M ( vocational training, that is ) was quite sufficient for the immigrant class which flooded that part of the New England world in the post-Civil War period, the immigrants having been brought in from Southern Europe, to work in the mills, to make up for the labor shortage caused by migration to the West??

The point is that the reactionary, for whatever motive, perceives himself to have been part or a partner of something that extended beyond himself, something which, consequently, he was not able to accept or reject on the basis of subjective preference.

This arrangement was for Copernicus literally monstrous: `` With ( the Ptolemaists ) it is as though an artist were to gather the hands, feet, head and other members for his images from divers models, each part excellently drawn, but not related to a single body ; ;

I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

Moreover, because of the particular blot on your family escutcheon through what may only have been one unbridled moment on your grandmother's part, and because you had the lean-to kitchen and trundle bed of your childhood to outgrow, what you obviously most desired with both your conscious and unconscious person, what you bent your whole will, sensibility, and intelligence upon, was to be a lady.

It was part of Little Jack's work to look after the dogs.

The word was that this too was part of an economy move on his part.

Platoons of Hearst agents were traveling from state to state in a surprisingly successful search for delegates at the coming convention, and there were charges that money was doing a large part of the persuading.

Trevelyan was at least in part attracted to the period by an almost unconscious desire to take up the story where Macaulay's History Of England had broken off.

As the field on which my tent was pitched was a favorite natural playground for the kids of the neighborhood, I had made many friends among them, taking part in their after-school games and trying desperately to translate Grimm's Fairy Tales into an understandable French as we gathered around the fire in front of the tent.

Sherman felt that his own part in the campaign was skillful and well executed but that the slowness of a part of his army robbed him of the larger fruits of victory.

The Prince took her with him on every tour around the area, and it was rumored he was utilizing her knowledge of Constantinople as part of his espionage network.

The tradeoff was that the screen could not be located in that 8 KB.

Of the 32 KB RAM, 3½ KB was allocated to the OS at startup and at least 10 KB was taken up by the display buffer in contiguous display modes.

As Steve Wozniak, the creator of Integer BASIC and the only person who understood it well enough to add floating point features, was busy with the Disk II drive and controller and with Apple DOS, Apple turned to Microsoft, who was the BASIC vendor of choice after their success with Altair BASIC, and licensed a 10 KB assembly language version of BASIC dubbed " Applesoft.

The lack of RAM expansion offered by this solution was solved by a service in which the 16 KB RAM chips inside the base unit would be replaced by 64 KB RAM chips.

* The 400 / 800's 10 KB operating system was replaced with a simpler 2 KB BIOS, of which 1 KB is the built-in character set.

The modern doctrine was expressed in Shaw & Sons ( Salford ) Ltd v Shaw 2 KB 113 by Greer LJ as follows:

Finally, the small, external power supply, MFM-based Commodore 1581 3½ " drive was made, giving 800 KB access to the C128 and C64.

With a storage capacity of 800 KB, the 1581 was the highest capacity serial bus drive ever made by Commodore ( the 1 MB SFD-1001 used the parallel IEEE-488 ), and the only 3½ " one.

This mode was the default when the drive was used in conjunction with a C64 ; while always being able to read and write the 1541's GCR format of 170 KB DD single-sided, in this mode it also would format disks single-sided and transfer data at 1541 speed.

The unformatted capacity of the floppy disks was advertised as " 250KB " for SSDD and " 500KB " for DSDD (" KB " ambiguously referring to either 1000 or 1024 bytes ; essentially the same for rounded-off values ), however these " raw " 250 / 500 kB were not the same thing as the usable formatted capacity ; under DOS, the maximum capacity for SSDD and DSDD disks was 180 kB and 360 kB, respectively.

The 1 KB of user RAM was only partially decoded, so it echoed in the full 4 kB block address space it resides.

So a 16 KB space was used for ROM, VIDEO, and USER, leaving free a 16 KB space for RAM extension plus 32KB space free for all possible usages.

It happened that the designed 4 KB of base RAM was not built in favour of the less costly 1 KB delivered.

When he came to Baltimore, he was leaving a team which was supposed to win the National League pennant, and he was joining what seemed to be a second division American League club.

He invited Mr. Case to stop by to say hello if he ever visited the academy and then added that he was on the managerial staff of the freshman football team

The research team was very mindful of these dangers and limitations of a mail questionnaire.

The research team was concerned that responses from firms in the state of Washington might not be typical of those throughout the country, or that the results might be different when no phone or personal follow-up was made.

The first was a list of fourteen manufacturing companies located in the state of Washington which were personally known to the research team to be active in defense work.

The second list was derived from a group of approximately 8,000 names supplied to the research team by the Aerospace Industries Association.

The third list was selected by the research team on a random basis from the Thomas Register.

The greatest team of this period was unquestionably the New York Yankees, bought by brewery millions and made into a ball club by men named Ed Barrow and Miller Huggins.

While women had always attended ball games in small numbers ( it was the part of a `` dead game sport '' in the early years of the twentieth century to be taken out to the ball park and to root, root, root for the home team ), they had often sat in patient martyrdom, unable even to read the scoreboard, which sometimes seemed to indicate that one team led another by a score of three hundred and eighty to one hundred and fifty-one.

During his college career, Dr. Clark was captain of his basketball team and was a football letterman.

His goal was to obtain a National League team for this city.

The '49 team was off to a so-so 5-5 beginning, then fell as low as 12-17 on May 23 before finishing with 96 victories.

Since 1949, the only National League club that got off to a hot start and made a runaway of the race was the '55 Dodger team.

`` You often hear people talk about team spirit and that sort of thing '', Benington said in a conversation after the ceremonies, `` but what this team had was a little different.

Bevo was congratulated for his efforts to stay in shape so that he could help the team if his knee healed in time.

But when tiny, 145-pound Albert Gregory Pearson of the Los Angeles Angels, who once caught three straight fly balls in center field because, as a teammate explained, `` the other team thought no one was out there '', hits seven home runs in four months ( three more than his total in 1958, 1959, and 1960 ), his achievement borders on the ridiculous.

The club was originally founded as a football team in 1891, with the name Buenos Aires English High School although it was obliged to change its name to Alumni Athletic Club ( the name was proposed by a former student of the English High School ) in 1901.
