"You will," replied he, "nevertheless be amused with Madame de I'Hôpital's tact; she knows enough of the history of the individuals around to give a shrewd guess at the favourite fantasy of each, and that it will be successful is the summing up of her prophecy. She tells each what he wishes, and so obtains an easy belief."

Though dredging can keep the river navigable for small ships, a new artificial port, Sinkang, able to take 10,000 ton ships at all times, was created at T'ang-ku. This is kept open for about two months during winter by icebreakers.

Sometimes, also, he reproached himself, for abandoning those abodes where his father had dwelt. “Who knows,” said he to himself, “whether the shades of the departed are allowed to pursue, every where, the objects of their affection? Perhaps it is only permitted them to wander about the spot where their ashes repose! Perhaps in this moment does the spirit of my sire regret the absence of his son, while distance prevents my hearing his voice, exerted to recall me.[”]
The concession of the King, who, be it also remembered, is a Bourbon, under such circumstances, is one of a suspicious character. Those who remember how faithlessly his father behaved in 1821, under precisely similar circumstances, to his subjects, cannot help entertaining the apprehensions that the son, like the sire, is playing fast and loose with his people, and that he will turn on them when the Austrians come to his relief.

A soffit is the underside of any part of a building's structure. Most people know about the soffit boards below their fascia boards (which cap off the ends of a roof's rafters). But if you walk through a brick-built tunnel and glance upwards, for example, you will be looking at the soffit of the arch.

But taking a soft piece of bread and pushing it under the sauce with your fingers, submerging them as well as the bread, or even wiping the plate with it would be very bad manners indeed.

In sediments with large cation exchange capacities, as calculated from the mineral composition (Duursma and Eisma, unpublished), the radionuclides were somewhat more strongly sorbed (Figure 2).
The exchange of pesticide compounds between aqueous solution and the sorbed phase in soils is not instantaneous.
The quantity sorbed is often found to be well represented by the combination of a compartment exhibiting linear, reversible sorption and a compartment that exhibits nonlinear and thermodynamic irreversib[l]e sorption.
As contaminated water or air flows through GAC, contaminants sorb (stick) to the GAC surface and are removed. […] It also sorbs low levels of some types of metals. […] The “spent” GAC may be replaced with fresh GAC or regenerated to remove the sorbed contaminants.
