`` I think Montero did right '', Amy said firmly.

Such was my state of mind that I did not question the possibility of this ; ;

This light did not penetrate very far back into the hall, and my eyes were hindered rather than aided by the dim daylight entering through the fan vents when I tried to pick out whatever might be lying, or squatting, on the floor below.

I felt strongly attached to the hall, however, and hardly a day passed when I did not go to look at it from a distance.

I could not cling to my past nor did I wish to.

My future lay solely with the hall, yet what did I know about the hall at this point??

I wished to prepare myself but did not even know what sort of clothes I ought to be wearing.

I did not despair, however ; ;

For weeks I wandered about this neighborhood of warehouses and garages, truck terminals and taxi repair shops, gasoline pumps and longshoremen's lunch counters, yet never did I cease to feel myself a stranger there.

I did it for the valley.

If I hadn't got Nate stopped when I did, my duds'd all be shot plumb to hell!!

`` No, I never did see his face.

Sometimes I wondered vaguely what he did about women for my Aunt, by blood, had died some years ago, but neither of us said anything.

True, she was my Aunt, married to an Uncle related to me only by marriage, but why she had married a man twice her age, and more, perhaps, I did not know or much care.

Even as she was telling me about it I became aware of a give-away flush that suffused her neck and moved upwards to her cheeks, and subconsciously I realized that when she entered the store she did not switch on the lights.

If you tell him I made a pass at you he might think you misunderstood something I said or did, so instead of just telling him I made a pass, say I tried to date you and that you agreed so you could prove to him what a louse I really am.

Help me up, I feel kind of stiff ''.

I understand how you feel about the child.

If I could make myself feel the same way

`` I feel like getting back to town, that's what I feel like!!

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

But I usually stick to the old phrase: ' Ich habe ein Amt, aber keine Meinung ( I hold an office, but I do not feel entitled to have an opinion ).

I feel obliged to describe this cubbyhole.

The basic difficulty, I suppose, was in my ultimate inability to feel a burden of sin from which I sought relief.

It is hard for me to know how I feel about Lauro Di Bosis.

His very honest act called up the recent talk I had with another minister, a modest Methodist, who said: `` I feel so deeply blessed by God when I can give a message of love and comfort to other men, and I would have it no other way: and it is unworthy to think of self.

I feel compelled to write this because I am greatly concerned with the problem of community growth rate and the relation between types of growth in a town such as East Greenwich.

I feel that few burglars would be prone to break and enter into someone's apartment if they were met with a good hardy growl that a dog would provide.

The public interest is so dominant in such an issue that I cannot be so presumptuous as to attempt to settle it by an administrative order based upon conclusions reached in a summary action in one or two Superior Courts in the State.

At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I would say to all of you: be patient and have courage, for there will be better and happier news one day, if we work at it.

In his 1983 introduction to Robert Anton Wilson's Prometheus Rising, Israel Regardie writes, " Once I was even so presumptuous as to warn ( Wilson ) in a letter that his humor was much too good to waste on hoi polloi who generally speaking would not understand it and might even resent it.

I started ‘ Case Closed ’ as a skeptic-and slightly put off by the presumptuous title.

When Buccleuch reached London, and, having been presented to the Queen, was asked by Elizabeth I of England how he dared to undertake an enterprise so desperate and presumptuous, Buccleuch is reported to have replied, " What is it that a man dare not do?

`` I mean, we don't have any way to get there and we can't expect you to quit work just to take us to town ''.

The latter in turn assured him that `` were I arraigned at the bar, and you my judge, I should expect to stand or fall only by the merits of my cause ''.

I would expect that sales at retail in the first half of 1961 might be below 1960 by some 10 - 15% but that second-half levels should show a favorable comparison, with a possibility of quite strong demand late in the year if business conditions recover as some recent forecasts suggest they will.

For the near term, however, it must be realized that the industrial and commercial market is somewhat more sensitive to general business conditions than is the military market, and for this reason I would expect that any gain in 1961 may be somewhat smaller than those of recent years ; ;

`` I expect to be tough as a knott as soon as I get over the Georgia Shitts ''.

`` I would expect the proposed committee to hold public hearings '', Mr. Notte said, `` to obtain the views of the general public and religious, labor and special-interest groups affected by these laws ''.

With three fine Russian films in recent months on World War 2, -- `` The House I Live In '', `` The Cranes Are Flying '' and `` Ballad Of A Soldier '' -- we had every right to expect a real Soviet block-buster in `` The Day The War Ended ''.

`` I suppose I can never expect to call you ' General ' after that Washington episode ''.

I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.

With the Confederates having confiscated his land, his slaves taken away, and his home made into a military hospital, Johnson made his final comments in the Senate: " I am a Democrat now, I have been one all my life ; I expect to live and die one, and the corner-stone of my Democracy rests upon the enduring basis of the Union.

And at one point, I realized it really doesn't have this kind of crazy humor that people from New York would expect to see.
