Norton & Company, New York .</ ref > In the introduction to the updated American text ( these newer editions include the missing 21st chapter ), Burgess explains that when he first brought the book to an American publisher, he was told that U. S. audiences would never go for the final chapter, in which Alex sees the error of his ways, decides he has lost all energy for and thrill from violence and resolves to turn his life around ( a slow-ripening but classic moment of metanoia — the moment at which one's protagonist realises that everything he thought he knew was wrong ).

At the American publisher's insistence, Burgess allowed their editors to cut the redeeming final chapter from the U. S. version, so that the tale would end on a darker note, with Alex succumbing to his violent, reckless nature — an ending which the publisher insisted would be ' more realistic ' and appealing to a U.

S. things and persons from the adjective américain, which denotes persons and things from the United States but may also refer to ' the Americas '; likewise, the German usages U. S .- amerikanisch and U. S .- Amerikaner observe said cultural distinction, solely denoting U. S. things and people.

They were dirty, their clothes were torn, and the girl was so exhausted that she fell when she was still twenty feet from the front door.

Morgan filled the dipper from the water bucket on the shelf, went back into the front room, lifted the girl's head, and held the edge of the dipper to her mouth.

Morgan returned to the kitchen, built a fire, and carried in several buckets of water from the spring which he poured into the copper boiler that he had placed on the stove.

He brought his Winchester in from the front of the house, then faced the boy.

`` The town of Buckhorn's only about six miles from here.

They were running from something.

She helped him with the dishes, then he brought more water in from the spring before it got dark.

He carried the tub from the back of the house where it hung from a nail in the wall.

Beneath his black shirt his frail shoulders shook and croaks of pain broke from his throat, the stored pain shattering free in slow gasps, terrible to see.

Can't let you go way from me again '' He closed his eyes, ashamed of his tears.

Clayton freed himself from the embrace and stepped back.

He burst from the hot confinement of the room into the cold night air.

He had taken a carbine down from the wall and it trailed from his hand, the stock bumping on the wood floor.

The two horses broke from the yard, from the circle of light cast by the lamp still burning in the house, into the darkness.

The silence oppressed him, made him bend low over the horse's neck as if to hide from a wind that had begun to blow far away and was twisting slowly through the darkness in its slow search.

A bold line of violet broke loose from the high ridge of the mountains, followed by feathers of red that swept the last stars from the sky.

The men in Pettigrew's were tired from a night's drinking, their faces red and baggy.

Cabot turned back to the men and he was drunk with the thing they would do, wild to break from the cloying warmth of the saloon into the cold of the ebbing night.

The mare began to tire and Clayton felt the spray of snow from the hoofs of Gavin's stallion.

During the period from 1 July 1960 through 31 January 1961, the Medical Museum was required to move to Temporary Building `` S '' on the Mall from Chase Hall.

On C, from the point P at Af to the point Q at Af, we construct the chord, and upon the chord as a side erect a square in such a way that as S approaches zero the square is inside C.

As S approaches T the square will be outside C and therefore both Af and Af must cross C an odd number of times as S varies from zero to T.

As S varies from zero to T, the values of S for which Af and Af cross C will be denoted by Af and Af respectively.

The experiment showed that after removing this bacteria, healthy bacteria was able to move in and replace the habitat and preventing S. mutans from regrowing.

Hence S breaks up into uncountably many orbits under G. Using the axiom of choice, we could pick a single point from each orbit, obtaining an uncountable subset X of S with the property that all of its translates by G are disjoint from X.

Due to his western successes, Ulysses S. Grant was given command of all Union armies in 1864, and organized the armies of William Tecumseh Sherman, George Meade and others to attack the Confederacy from all directions, increasing the North's advantage in manpower.
