Tales and Fantasies
Aristotle, in his Politics, doth them, I believe, more justice, when he says, "The modesty and fortitude of men differ from those virtues in women; for the fortitude which becomes a woman, would be cowardice in a man; and the modesty which becomes a man, would be pertness in a woman."

The autumn air, blithe and vivacious, elated Philip; and when towards mid-day they stood in the great court-yard of the Louvre, he felt
inclined to cry like Flanagan: To hell with art.
Of Human Bondage
Then the news would spread all through the neighborhood that this individual had received a "call." If he were
inclined to resist the summons, he would fall or be made to fall a second or third time.
Up From Slavery
"And to tell you the truth, my young friend, I am half
inclined to think that when he is given to understand, as he will be by you, if he doesn't know it already, that I am in charge of the investigations concerning these two murders, he will see me."

I only tell you this, in case you feel
