ered upon which she did not approve. 14. As surely as the wolf retires before cities, does the fairy sequester herself from the haunts of the licensed victualer. 15. M. Michelet is anxious to keep us in mind that this bishop was but an agent of the English. 16. Next came a wretched Dominican, that pressed her with an objection, which, if applied to the Bible, would tax every miracle with unsoundness. 17. The reader ought to be reminded that Joanna D'Arc was subject to an unusually unfair trial. 18. Now, had she really testified this willingness on the scaffold, it would have argued nothing at all but the weakness of a genial nature. 19. And those will often pity that weakness most, who would yield to it least. 20. Whether she said the word is uncertain. 21. This is she, the shepherd girl, counselor that had none for herself, whom I choose, bishop, for yours. 22. Had _they_ been better chemists, had _we_ been worse, the mixed result, namely, that, dying for _them_, th107 |e flower should revive for _us_, could not have been effected. 23.

He showed one who was afraid to go on foot to Olympia, that it was no more than his daily walk, if continuously extended, would easily reach. 28. What can we see or acquire but what we are? 29. Our eyes are holden that we cannot see things that stare us in the face, until the hour arrives when the mind is ripened. 30. There is good reason why we should prize this liberation. _(b)_ First analyze, then map out as in Sec. 380, the following complex sentences:-- 1. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion, is to speak and write sincerely. 2. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he has gained. 3. "No book," said Bentley, "was ever written down by any but itself." 4. That which we do not believe, we cannot adequately say, though we may repeat the words never so often. 5. We say so because we feel that what we love is not in your will, but above it. 6.
