The town was about what Wilson expected: one main street with its rows of false-fronted buildings, a water tower, a few warehouses, a single hotel ; ;

In the mornings, I was informed, fluorescent tubes, similar to the one above the counter, illuminated the entire hall.

There was only one place where the mountain might receive her -- that unnamed, unnameable pool harbored in its secret bosom.

But she was caught in it, and she faced the terrible possibility that, if it were a dream, it was one from which she might never awaken.

At one and the same time, she was within it but still searching for the drawbridge that would give her entry.

All the doors were open at this hour except one, and it was toward this that Stevens made his way with Russ close at his shoulder.

When she appeared at the store to help out for a few hours even my looking at her was surreptitious lest my Uncle notice it.

The Nazis knew this, of course, and while their chief quarry was the industrial centers, they let a few drop every time they went over, hoping for a lucky hit.

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.

A comeback of sorts was seen during the 1960s and 1970s, but it was not until 1981, when the Liberals allied with the newly formed SDP to form the SDP-Liberal Alliance, that the party enjoyed significant electoral success.

During 1988, the Liberals formally merged with the SDP to form the Liberal Democrats, though a small splinter Liberal Party was formed in 1989 by former members opposed to the merger.

The Social Democratic Party ( SDP ) was a centrist political party in the United Kingdom that was created on 26 March 1981 and existed until 1988.

Although the SDP was seen as being largely a breakaway from the right wing of the Labour Party, an internal party survey found that 60 % of its members had not belonged to a political party before, with 25 % being drawn from Labour, 10 % from the Conservatives and 5 % from the Liberals.

In 1981, dismayed with the Labour Party's continuing leftward drift, he was one of the " Gang of Four "-Labour moderates who formed the Social Democratic Party ( SDP ).

As one of the so-called " Gang of Four ", he was a founder of the Social Democratic Party ( SDP ) in January 1981 with David Owen, Bill Rodgers and Shirley Williams.

He was well regarded by other Labour statesmen including Tony Benn, but came under heavy criticism from others including Denis Healey, who condemned the SDP split as a " disaster " for the Labour Party which prolonged their time in opposition and allowed the Tories to have an unbroken run of nearly 20 years in government.

Officially, this was the desired answer for the SDP delegation that had visited her two days earlier.

In August 1958, Karl-August Fagerholm's third cabinet, a coalition government led by the Social Democratic Party ( SDP ) and including Kekkonen's party Agrarian League, was formed.

The formation of the SDP and the subsequent alliance came at a time when the British economy was in a deep recession and Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government was proving deeply unpopular as unemployment had risen from just over 1, 500, 000 since they came to power in May 1979 to 3, 000, 000 and beyond by 1982, mainly due to the closure of many factories as part of the battle against inflation.
